So I know most people don’t dig hockey, but tonight the Wings and Aves begin a series that has deep emotional ties for both teams.
This reminds me of when hockey was great

I’m going to the game tonight and am pretty stoked.
LET’S GO RED WINGS!!
800 penalty minutes guarentee’d in this series, let there be blood, let there be blood
The Avalanche beat the one team that I might kinda sorta halfways follow and watch (The Wild), so now I don’t care at all.
Thanks for the deep insight Hank
just tryin’ to contribute best I can
I just would have thought that you, having the stanly cup in your avatar, may be more of a hockey buff
yeah I don’t know I found that picture one night when I was drunk and liked it, so I changed my avatar on a whim.
Its really hard to get into the Wild because their style of play is boring as fuck to watch, and they’ve been one-and-dones both of the last two years.
i was looking for a NHL thread earlier but couldn’t find one…anyway, i’ve had a fucking GREAT time watching the flyers this post season. next to march madness playoff hockey could be my favorite sports post-season to watch.
i can’t believe they’re already starting round 2 tonight against the habs.
LET’S GO FLYERS!!!
i’ll second that
lets go flyers
I thought I was the only hockey fan here. I watched the first round in silence…
but now, GO WINGS!!!
Man…you have no idea how much this means to too many people up here…
That’s why I have no interest in this thread.
Peace.
what kind of Canadian are you?!?!?!
Anyway, Wings up 1 game to nothing… 
GO WINGS!!!
So the game was awesome last night!
I have never been to a louder wings game! Well, maybe back in 96-98, but still, it was way nostalgic.
The Wings has Ozzie in net, McCarty and Draper handled duties during the soot around before the game, lidstrom played remarkable D.
Then Sakic and Foote were across the ice (Forsberg didn’t play) and it seemed like it was 10 years ago.
They acutally played “Back in Time”, from Back to the Future, over the PA before the game.
GO WINGS!!!
i’m still in mourning after last night’s outcome
Game 2 in less than one hour!
LET’S GO RED WINGS!!!
I’ve been the same way. It’s actually been a VERY good playoffs so far. I loved that Habs/Bruins series as well as the Wild/Avs series.
So far this round I’ve caught every game of the Habs/Philly series which has been awesome even though Montreal seems to be clearly outmatched. And Pitt may be up 2-0 on the Rangers but I have a feeling that series is far from over…the Rangers have been close in every game, especially Game 1.
And maybe it’s me but the Avs seem to give FAR more open space to the Wings than Nashville ever did. I almost think it’s far easier for the Wings to get open shots than last series and it’s showing. By the way, does Quenville have money on the Wings…why the heck would you leave Theodore in after those horrendous first two games? Sick or not, the backup has been better.
Should be a good one tonight.

i am enjoying the fact that the flyers are leading the series 2-1 against a team from Canada
i am absolutely loving the way the flyers are toughing out every game.
they’re going to give me heart attack if they can’t just win ONE GAME easily at some point. pretty much every game has been fucking intense. i do love playoff hockey.
yeah man, a few games i’ve had to turn off for a few b/c i found myself yelling at the tv and getting way to worked up
richards shorthand goal last night, man i just about went through the ceiling, literally i jumped out of my lazy boy and slammed my hand into the ceiling, luckily both my hand and ceiling are intact
