pam Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 We have hockey. As was mentioned it's just semi-pro but it is hockey. Quote

Guest Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 There's this invention called TV... it's really great. It saves you lots of money because it is much cheaper than ringside... Yeah, I tried this with my husband and his football and he looked at me funny... Quote

Palerider Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 I would need therapy if I didn't have a NHL team to follow. Maureen and Irishcolleen 2 Quote

john doe Posted May 6, 2014 Report Posted May 6, 2014 How do we survive? Very well, thank you. Hockey is basically soccer on ice. People run up and down the rink on skates and once in a great while someone scores a goal. I used to go to hockey games just to see if a fight would break out and make things exciting, but with the leagues cracking down on that it's just plain boring most of the time. Since I don't drink beer I just don't see the point of going to the games anymore. Quote

You Americans will never truly get Hockey, you may have most of the teams (because you give them a lot more money then Canadians do) but we have its soul. Quote

Roseslipper Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 the only hockey team I ever seen live in person was in Salt Lake City Utah. and that was a long time ago. Quote
Palerider Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 Call me when the fights get back to how those depicted in Slap Shot, hands down the best hockey movie ever.Every team needs the Hanson Brothers john doe 1 Quote
Palerider Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 I have followed my St Louis Blues since they arrived in the area back in 1967....at one time they had 3 guys on the team who were brothers. Bob and Bill and Barclay Plager. They were tough guys too. Often times two of them would be on the ice and sure enough...they would get into a fight with two guys from the other team. When I watch slapshot and see the Hanson Brothers it makes me think of the Plagers.....LOL!!!! Quote
Lakumi Posted May 10, 2014 Report Posted May 10, 2014 My favourite team was always the Quebec Nordiques, and I still loathe the Colorado Avalance to this day.But if Winnipeg can get its team back then Quebec has a good chance.I know the rumour mill is swirling that Salt Lake is being heavily considered for a team (weither by expantion or relocation)I highly suspect by 2020 they'll have one. (and not a joke team like the idea I came up with; The Utah Mormons, with uniforms ala missionary attire and every game opens with a prayer) lol Quote
