NHL 2010

[BarTopDancer]

Training camp started Saturday. Pre-season starts tomorrow.

Aside from the Ducks I'm interested to see how the Sharks do post Nabakov and how the Kings do in general. The Sharks have been one goalie away from a Conference final for awhile and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about them.

The Blackhawks have Turco now so I hate them by default.

It's a clean slate for all.

Let's go Ducks!

I thought the playoffs just finished?

Geeeze people it's still the pre-season.

Take a deep breath and repeat to yourself "Preseason performance is not a reliable metric for predicting play during the season."

It's a wee bit premature to start planning places the players should take the cup on it's day out. Although I must admit "In the back of a convertible for a drive around downtown Pittsburgh" would be good.

God I hope so but I have this horrible feeling of deja vu.

Damn. Only three games into the season and the Caps already have one in the loss column. Come on guys, shape up!

real fans don't jump ship...real fans don't jump ship...

I've been walking around work with my fingers in my ears going la la la la I don't wanna talka bout it when walking by rival fans.

BTD is not happy. 0-4. What did I say about deja vu?

Can we NOT talk about Hockey right now?

[Kevy Baby]

Sure, let's talk about Baseball. How was 2010 for ya?

Oh...

How about Basketball?

Hmm...


Football?


Err...



Wow, it sucks to be you

Considering you bumped this thread....

And WTF are you bitching about? You're 2nd in your conference.

But since you did bump this thread... damn it was awesome watching Cory Perry get a penalty shot and hat trick. The icing last night was Bobby Ryan scoring with their players stick (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yi19-LBtu2E). Oh and BR is a right handed shot, their Koivu is a left handed.

Yeah, if DC is going to talk about sports it seems that hockey and the Military Bowl (featuring local favorite, Maryland) are your only options.

We're going to the playoffs! We're going to the playoffs!

[Kevy Baby]

First time that both the Kings and Ducks make the playoffs in the same year.
