The NHL Thread

[PolkaDot]

Hoisting the cup over your shoulders in celebration to a crowd that isn't there must feel just a tad anticlimactic.

haha! So true. I'm kind of happy about that.

Nope.  Only good if it's back to normal.  I want a full fledged, scheduled as usual, hockey season!!!!

@ShayP  it's still a "season" starting a little later, that's all. It could be worse. I wish it was starting tomorrow, but it's not.  When will baseball start back up? the next season I mean.

*sigh* @KSM32  Yeah, you're right.  Baseball?  I have no clue. 

[KSM]

Baseball?  I have no clue. 

Umm  it's a game played on a field with a ball, a bat, bases, and dudes of all colors. Sometimes arguments break out and everybody runs onto the field but it usually amounts to nothing.

Now. Can you please explain soccer to me??  @ShayP

If they went full retro, it would be an A not a C.

I got that jersey back when The Flames were my western team in the late 80s. I can still list the players off the top of my head. Lanny, Gilmour, Fleury, MacInnis, Nieuwendyk and Vernon in net. Such a great team. Not sure why I remember hockey teams from 30 years ago much better than 3 years ago, Am I the only one?

I can remember the name of the Atlanta Flames goalie above - Dan Bouchard- from 1973 or so. Also Jacques Richard, Phil Myre , Eric Vail, Curt Bennett, Keith McCreary, and of course coach Bernie Boom Boom Geoffrion.

Boom Boom died in Atlanta on the day the Canadiens retired his number.

You're not the only one. @Zetaspeak  I find myself doing it with baseball teams too.
