Glad you found your team. Seriously, tell your friends, grow the sport, its unbelievably small compared to Football, Basketball, and Baseball.

The hockey fans are coming out of the woodwork on my facebook. I knew three of my friends were Penguins, Blue Jackets, and Avalanche fans respectively, but several have come out and said they're Red Wings fans... idk if I could be friends with them anymore .

Penguins are conferance rivals, and you've got a beef with the Wings?

Anyways, I believe the Wings have the biggest fan base across the country of all the teams.

Cleveland doesn't get along with Detroit in general, cities are too similar. Though I guess I have to learn new rivalries

Well... it's quite easy to hate on the Wings .

Blues taking on Nashville again tonight! It's always a tough game with them.

I wonder if we'll see a repeat of Tuesday night's game.

Seriously?

The Senators?

Do you realize they are from canadia?

You do realize that Canuckia is where we got the sport from? In this instance alone will I say it's ok to respect Canada.

I believe the proper name is Canuckistan...

Hey, I respect where a sport comes from, Give props to my fellow 'Muricans for American Football (Hand egg), the Rest of World for Soccer, though I'm sure I would probably root for a British team (I always played as Manchester United in Fifa 2000, and Germany in Fifa World Cup South Africa), and so I have to give Canuckistanians their due for ice disc. Also the Senators game was fun to watch on Tuesday

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of Craig Anderson catching a few pucks (even if he lets one slip by )

LOL!

1-0 BLUES! OSHIE!

Celebratory cold puppy!

Oshie almost just scored again from a wicked pass.

Sens GOAL! Erik Karlsson intercepts a pass in the neutral zone then buries an unassisted marker for the visitors first lead at 8:28 of 2nd. - From twitter

I'm sure it was an awesome goal, I'm only listening to it atm :(

Not hockey, but saw it on hockey forum...

WTH?


fething showoff...

Sens are winning, but the Panthers have had some close calls, there were a few times that they were down near the Ottawa goal... Sloppy D :-/

2-0 Blues...

Second goal... on a penalty shot!

Guillaume Latendresse missed on a penalty shot and Karlsson almost caught one on the post, but it bounced away... :(

3-0 Blues!

4th goal by Taransenko! This kid is gonna be good. Video coming soon....
EDIT #1: The puppy/kitten pics get ridiculous in those forums, but this was funny:

Goal number 3 by Mr. Tank:

Let's go Horns and Tails!

Fahk Zach Parise!

Man, I bought a Parise Jersey for the Stanley Cup last season... don't I feel awkward now...

I never bought a Parise jersey, I was going to a few years ago but have heard way too many rumors Parise was not happy in Jersey and wanted to leave.

Kovy is logging way too many minutes in just a few games, by the time the playoffs get here he will be beat. Devils are in borderline rebuilding more. When Marty leaves it's going to be a painful 4 or 5 years getting the talent to compete for cups.

Only one problem with that:

CHICAGO Games: 4 Wins: 4 Losses: 0
ST. LOUIS Games: 4 Wins: 3 Losses: 1

Clearly the Hawks are better.

Hand Egg? WTF? What does that even mean?

I'll be happy to see any Canadian team win, although I doubt that will happen.

Last night Detroit was looking a lot better. A lot of sloppiness still, but they were shaping up.

Got a couple PP Goals finally. Now if they could just get their penalties and give aways under control they'd be a fearsome force indeed.

No, and it does not make any sense, an American Football is not shaped like an Egg at all...

People are dumb.

Plus if Soccer is called Football, how do you explain this:




Clearly that guy is playing Handball, not football.....

The Comedy Hour was pretty fun last night!

Make-ya-Laughs yet again come out and dominate the first period against the Rangers and go up 2-0 on all of three shots...
Then proceed to lose the game 5-2!

Someone needs to remind these guys a hockey game is still 3 full periods!

Oh well, since it's obligatory where the Fallen are concerned:

I'm well aware that it doesn't look exactly like an egg but you use your hands to pass the ball and catch the ball which is oblong and not round so it is closer to an egg than a ball which is generally round. As to your goalie image I believe you're not allowed to hold the puck with your hands in hockey yet they give the goalie an additional tool to help him tend the goal.

The American Football is closer to the shape of a ball than any ball, save a rugby ball.
