What do you guys think of the sport? Over here it doesn't have much of a following and a lot of my mates seem to think it is quite a sport. One of my dreams is to go see an NHL game before I die, still love my local team though. Come on you Jets!

Bruins fan till the end.

Never assume anything, it will only make an ass of you and me.

Huge fan. The speed and physicality is awesome, as is the beauty of a sweet pass or skating/stick handling move.

I went to three NHL games last year, one of which was a playoff game. The atmosphere and energy is a rush tbh.

My kids also play, and season started two weeks ago. It sort of dominates our lives from early September until spring...

Also we are starting to put up our backyard rink inthe near future...

There are some who walk until their legs fail them and they fall to the ground. I find that respectable.
Then there are those who drag themselves further. I find that admirable.

For me, in the NHL my team is the Calgary Flames, but my home team is where my heart is. For those who want to see the level of games here in the UK here is my teams last home game.

I follow the San Jose sharks(myself being from the bay area), but they have failed me so many times in the finals....

I'm more of a 49ers(football) and Giants(baseball) fan, but I still like my Sharks.

I have known only heartache and and needed bypass surgeries because of my NHL team's Cup performances... I am a Canucks fan.


Which means hopefully we can actually pull it off this year...

Um, how come your location says Germany? Anyways I'm Canadian and from BC so I think you all know who my favorite team is...

Spoiler:


Ok, I'm a Canucks fan too but Canadians have a better goalie (bring on the Luongo hate ).

I'm an American, but the U.S. Army sent me here to Germany. Grew up in the Pacific Northwest only a few hours from the B.C. part of the border.

Canadians fan here. Don't follow it as much as I used to, but I'll watch it if its on.

The only sport I enjoy more than hockey (both playing and watching) is lacrosse.

My Sunday morning ritual is to sit down to a nice breakfast and watch Hockey Night in Canada from about 7 am to noon. Unfortunately, for the last three years, the teams I follow have been really crappy. Seriously, who would cut Theo Fleury for Craig 'Elmer Fudd' Conroy?!! Anyway, that was last year. I'm pretty stoked for the season to start despite bananas and Avery being called a 'limp-wristed effeminate dandy"

Do you still have an arena? I thought you guys looted it and then set it on fire....

Have you seen a game of shinty, screw skating on ice like a bunch of pansys and lets play on a really long pitch where smashing the ball with our sticks above our heads is practically mandatory.

I like watching college girls play lacrosse, too.

At least it's enjoyable right until they find me with the binoculars and beat me up.

Great pic!

My sons attend one of the Tim Thomas hockey camps this summer and I got a chance to chat wth Tim's personal assistant wh also had his mask and blocker with him.

I got a chance to try it on, it smelled like victory...
