Hockey

Rumor has it hockey might be back in a week. Apparently the Phoenix Coyotes have told their players to start getting ready for practice within the next week. I sure hope this is true. :D

Cool. Congrats. Nice gesture with your donation.

Oh yeah, send me the addy. ;)

Thanks. Yes the entries may be flying in soon. :D

That would be to cool if they happened to get this thing settled and they drop the NHL puck :)
But I haven't really missed it since I have Junior Hockey and Minor League hockey here which I prefer going to anyways LOL.
GO WILD! GO PREDATORS! GO CANUCKS!

I really really REALLY hope to see some hockey action soon, this lockout has been insane. It figures...the season I save up some extra "rainy day"funding to get some tickets for the Redwings, and I end up spending it on other less exciting things. ::)

Everyone remember the "Basketbrawl"? Those were Detroit hockey fans going through hockey DT's. Lesson learned. ;)

Go Wings!

Well there hasn't been any hockey other than the minor leagues and last night the Philadelphia Phantoms completed their 4 game sweep of the Chicago Wolves with a 5-2 victory to win their second AHL Calder Cup. Unfortunately not many of these games have been on television but from what I saw the future looks bright for the Flyers when the NHL returns. There are approximately 7-8 guys on the Phantoms that could start for the Flyers now. I think some of the older players in the NHL may be in for a rude awakening when the NHL returns. The lock out has given teams the luxury of closely watching their prospects develop in leagues such as the AHL and the ECHL of which the Flyers affiliate the Trenton Titans also won the championship of that league. The future of hockey in Philadelphia looks to be a bright one.

I was furious about that last night. I had to listen to the Phillies game to hear the Phantom updates. I can't believe it wasn't televised. I am thrilled for the team and I am proud to be a Philadelphia hockey fan.

I'm hoping that the scouts don't raid too many players off the Wolves...lol. It's kind of nice to have a competitive hockey team in Chicago. ;)

No hockey team gets decent television coverage, its always football on tv. And when there isn't football, there are tv shows about football or rerun games. NBC is also trying to get out of their new contract with the NHL to televise games, as they think there won't be any hockey at all. Pigs! :( Anyway, I watched 6 hours of Avalanche classics last night, and it just made me miss hockey more. Yep, there will be a rude awakening for the NHL when they stop playing tug-a-war.

I agree Kate. I was more of a T-Wolves fan when I lived there.

avs1roy33 · June 12, 2005, 09:36:09 PM

You are a red wing fan? :'( :'( :-\ Oh well, it doesn't even matter right now, does it?!

smiles29 · June 12, 2005, 09:39:58 PM

Here's a scarier thought - I am and always have been a 'LIGHTNING" fan. lol. They have been the laughing stocks of the NHL but we can say we were champs for 2 yrs :P, especially since no one could claim it this year. Go lightning, Go bolts. My next favorite team would be the Avs- mainly because of their long loved and retired goalie Roy (love your avatar btw). Cant wait to see if we get a season this coming year.

avs1roy33 · June 13, 2005, 06:39:42 PM

Roy is the greatest! I bet I have more than 100 Roy collectibles...yeah, I know, its an addiction.

Barbara · June 13, 2005, 06:41:01 PM

Ours will be a scary marriage in that I am a Flyer's fan and I have an equal amount of collectables.

avs1roy33 · June 13, 2005, 06:43:04 PM

That would be scary. Could you imagine? A house full of so many hockey items that you couldn't even see the walls.

Barbara · June 13, 2005, 06:43:37 PM

Sniff, my dream home. I can't wait to meet your mother.

avs1roy33 · June 13, 2005, 06:45:47 PM

That may not be such a good idea...lol. Since the recent posts, I have been measuring my walls, seeing how many shelves I can cram on them lol.

Barbara · June 13, 2005, 06:49:09 PM

It will work out.
