yup pretty much, just wanted to start a thread for the season.
I'm excited to see the lineup for the regular season.
I'm hoping they keep Bert. I know he has a no trade clause. It'll hopefully be nice to see helm back on the ice. sucks about nyquist, most likely being pushed down to the griffins (I can see him easier though in GR :beerbang.
I'm aslo very excited to see the AHL guys, they have a lot of talent. I hope they develop well :chauncy:
You can not post that picture without me asking....how many playoff appearences in the last 30 years for the hawks? How many years of not being able to watch the hawks on the tv? How many cups do the hawks have? Which former red wing coach finally turned around your shitty team?
I know how to free up salary. Cut Abdelkader. He gott ta GO! The guy is a fucking idiot and only gets dumber as the season and playoffs progress. I can't see him being worth anything as trade bait, just cut him loose.
Yeah, thats why hes up there in one of the top picks for the US Olympic team.
He was top 5 goal scorers last year and played a big role in front of the crease.
Same could be said for Franzen, with second most goals last year (albeit near the end of the season mostly) He had more shots on goal than Datsyuk, and only one less hit the back of the net than him.
going to 21 games in 88 probably sucked. I used to listen to all the games once my parents had put me to bed on my super sweet tape deck with headphones on :teehee:
Last night they looked a little sloppy but they looked solid. Eastern conference hockey just seems to look different than western conference hockey. Either way it was nice to see them back on the ice.
Wow, what a streak to break, a whopping 4 years :teehee:
Watch most of the games.
Go to several games per year. (best was 1988 where I went to 21 home games)
Was at the cup win in 2002.
Went to one preseason game this year.
Franzen looked lazy in that game.
With all that, I don't too excited early in the season.
Actually it was great. I worked for a company that had an executive suite. Probably half the games it was just the owner and me in a suite that had 12 seats. Bathroom, fridge and phone (before cell phone days). The company had 2 cards to the Olympia room and I carried one. I could sign for food and beer on the company account.
Probably the best thing about it was that I learned alot about business at those games. I was a young up and comer and he took me under his wing. There were many discussions about how to deal with business situations, customers, etc. To this day, I have a huge amount of respect and gratitude to him.
My dad had access to a suite back in those days too, we used to get to go down and watch the wings lose and see lots of concerts and stuff, was pretty cool.
I wish the wings would build a new arena in Auburn Hills so I didn't have to drive all the way to detroit to watch them play.
I think I've only paid for one game, and I think I've been to about 15-20 over the past four years. Fiancee's dad gets free tickets for games every year. He gets suite tickets to the palace, but I go there to eat and watch the dancers for the piston games.
Nice to get to center ice lower portion of upper bowl. I've been up in the corner for a playoff game, and some "special" people almost ruined it for me. (The first one we lost to Chicago this previous spring)
Like I haven't been watching them since I was 6 or 7 years old, but playing hockey with your friends doesn't give you a higher opinion of what one of the teams key players is doing...
If you know so much, why aren't you playing in his place?
i like all three of them (howard, gus, and mrazek) I think i like gus the least, has to prove himself from last year yet for me. once he gets 7-10 games under his belt without failing epically, I'll like him more.
