At last, a sport that Pittsburgh actually has a CHANCE in this season! So far, two home games out of the way, and despite having just gotten back from Japan two days ago, the Pens have won em both, and quite nicely, too. Jager had FOUR goals last night!
Alas, I was not there, and was forced to sit praying before my shrine to the great one, LeMieux himself, whose autograph is the centerpiece, and who now owns the teams!
Y’all realize that there is only one truly great hockey team in this great land of ours (well, IMHO at least). Although they choked against Edmonton last week, I still have much faith in my Detroit Red Wings.
“The” team is looking great this yr. The Sedin twins seem to be working out…this yr, we go all the way!!!
I spent nearly 7 hours at our local rink yesterday. I was on location in the morning, and my boy had a game in the afternoon.
He scored 2 goals and got 2 assists. We won, 13-3. Pee Wee Super League…what a blast!!
The only thing better than the Oilers leading the league would be to have the Habs leading the league.
At least they whupped the Oilers.
I better explain…
I am a lifelong Habs fanatic but am compelled to root for our hometown boys who are doing great on a shoestring budget and a ton of heart. How can I not cheer them on. Just as long as they aren’t playing the Habs it’s GO Oilers!
Although, all the way may be a bit optimistic, I myself am just praying they make the playoffs this year (ohpleaseohpleaseohplease…)
And congrats on your son’s game, if I may say so. IMHO, hockey gets better the farther you go down the ladder. I saw a very good BCHL game the other night. 6-3 for the home team (Spruce Kings) and over 460 penalty minutes assigned. It doesn’t get any better. [/hijack]
Continuing slight hijack. I agree. I have season tickets to our WPHL team down here and it’s always good hockey. They haven’t won yet this year, but hey, it’s still entertaining.
Back on subject. Stars! Stars! Stars! Although off to a rough start, we have a better team than last year. Time to bring the cup back.
Just a small reminder to fans of the Blues and the Sens (and 'Yotes, if there are any here)…winning in October means jack squat in the NHL. If you’re still winning games in May then talk to me. GO STARS!!!
