Footsteps of Dawn Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hi! Hope you don't mind a total noob to hockey hanging around here. I used to love the movie The Mighty Ducks when I was a kid (which is where I learned how the game worked), but for some reason I never really started watching the NHL until last year, and that was only off and on. Now I'm kind of obsessed, but unfortunately I don't know a darn thing about it yet. So, uh, go Red Wings! And Kings, I suppose, but I dunno, I'm just not that enthusiastic about them. Hope to see more of you guys in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I lived in Quebec until I was about 7. I started skating when I was about 6 months old. LOL!! Anyway, during the 70's I used to play a lot of hockey at the South Mountain Arena in NJ. We'd play at midnight when the rent was cheapest and play 1 1/2 hours and bust some heads open. After playing we'd hit the bars. LOL!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorer714 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 WOW! Eric Staal with a hat trick in the third period, 1: 7:27 2: 10:42 3: 11:58 That was a good win at Atlanta! We'll take it. I was hoping your boys would help us out Yukon.We needed that kind of help too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Capitals man-handled the Sabres last night in DC. Sabres need to conduct some "checking" drills during practice. They execute inefficient checks that have little or no impact on the opposing player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliet Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 So...Yukon: Since you had such a bad day I guess you don't want to hear me complain about the 3 straight losses by the Leafs? That's o.k....I'm dealing with the 3 game losses in my own way.... I hope the rest of 08 goes better for ya.. Juliet .........TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS.....

GAC64 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Whos your daddy? We will beat the living daylights out of you pricks. Just wait. Silly ass Clarke sitting in the press box after being fired. I wonder how many real teeth the dip shit has? Whos your daddy? Its just a game. Get a life! Buffalo doesn't have a chance. I guess you need glasses or you're just blind to what talent skates on the ice every night in Philly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ally Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Cant be much worse than Buffalo last year. Ill cheer for the young Hawks. I see Vancouver had a shutout last night and it wasnt Luongo in the nets. I cant believe Ottawa only had 17 shots. Boy have they gone in the tank. I cant believe heads havent rolled there yet? The Sens have made a few decisions over the last few years that have been dubious at best. Keeping Redden and letting Chara go is just one example. Especially when they let Redden go this year anyway's. From what I heard from people who saw the game in Vancouver the other night, the Sens were just going through the motions. Can you say Brian Murray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Lindy Ruff has told his team that "if you don't show up, expect a seat in the press box". I expect a good showing in Boston tomorrow afternoon. GO SABRES!! That should be a hell of a game Yukon. It's times like these that I wish I had more options to watch games.

Electrophile Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 That Winter Classic game yesterday was an amazing game. Just fabulous, obviously made better by the fact my Wings won. I've been to Wrigley Field more times than I can count, and it's an amazing place to watch a baseball game, I wish I could have been there to see a hockey game.

I've been to Wrigley Field more times than I can count, and it's an amazing place to watch a baseball game, I wish I could have been there to see a hockey game. It was a good game and the setting was perfect. Good ice for the two teams and the old jersey's made for a great afternoon of old time hockey. I gotta say that the three games that have been played in this format have been good for the NHL. It's just too bad that Bettman and co. are getting credit for it's success when the fans and players are the ones who deserve it. Rumor has it that next year it will be at the new Yankee Stadium.

Vasili Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 It was sad to see the Hawks lose. I once met The Golden Jet at O'Hare in 1969 and got his autograph. I was 9 and in awe of him. Not as much anymore...but I still love the old guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electrophile Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 You had the "SuperNova" back then. Hull, Howe, Orr. All three wore the #9 (where the Nova part comes in). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yeah but Orr wore No 4 No matter Electro, I know what you meant. I wish they'd been on the Team Canada roster in 72 against the Russians as I think that series would have been even greater than it turned out to be. I gotta say that that Russian team was something special to watch. All of us arrogant Canadians got taught a lesson in that series but those three guy's not being there was a huge disappointment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did I think he wore #9, my dad has a Bobby Orr jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do that all the time Hull and Howe did for sure but now, you've got me wondering who wore #9 for the Bruins ! This would make a good trivia question. I'm guessing Johnny Bucyk or Johnny MacKenzie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought so To me, Orr's the greatest player I have ever seen. No disrespect to Gretzky and Lemieux but winning the scoring title as a defenceman is unheard of in any era. What a player he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a player he was He was fun to watch,that's for sure.I wish that I had kept all the stuff that I got from his fan club. As for the best player, I would normally agree ,but my wife is from Edmonton and I don't need to start the New Year off with a bigger bang.
