Hockey Fans??? (Page 1 of 3)

Seeing my Bruins choked and are gone , I'm pulling for a Philly - Chicago (Stanley cup Final )
.Then I'll be rooting for Chicago to win it all . 49 years is long enough...
                                                                                         go Hawks

Certainly a comeback for the ages for the Flyers, but there is no way i can root for a team that has Carcillo on it.   I can't believe some of the crap he pulls.....like acting as if he's been slashed when there's no one around....such a slimey player!!  I am pulling for the Habs in the east, it's been a while since they've been champions...93 vs LA i think??? And the west.....I would like to see the Hawks....they have a nice young team, and like Montreal they have been waiting a looooong time.......

I have to totally pull for the Chicago Black Hawks.  Been a fan for a long time, although the New York Rangers Rangers are still my perennial favorite NHL hockey team.  Really loved the 1970-1971 Black Hawks, one of my all-time favorite teams, when Tony Esposito was in the net and beyond totally amazing.  ALMOST all the way except for that dang other namesake, brother Henri "The Pocket Rocket" (far younger and much smaller brother of Maurice, "The Rocket"-the original) Richard.  The Pocket Rocket and that darned Ken Dryden, who was a ROOKIE and had played all of a handful of games up until the playoffs, where Montreal decided that star goalie Rogie Vachon was a little too squeaky & leaky (he had been playing poorly of late despite team wins) and should sit the bench.
Loved Esposito, he and Ed Giacomin were my favorite goaltenders those days, and given that Ken Dryden, Rogie Vachon, Gilles Villemure, Gary Cheevers (that famous Frankenstein mask with it's many stitch marks- ) , Jaques Plante (unretired, having done so once), Ernie Wakely, Glenn Hall (hockey's version of a notrious stage fright condition, he was sick before every game, another unretired who would retire as fast he had unretired), "Gump" Worsely (near retirement), Bernie Parent (not yet up to his par), a glorious heyday for goalies. 
That Black Hawks team had Bobby Hull (a joy to watch) Stan Mikita (wore a helmet when wearing one was an extreme oddity and an object of derision and scoffing) Chico Maki, Pat Stapleton, Dennis Hull, Pit Martin...what a team!

Go Black Hawks!

Rock ON & Keep the Faith,
Rocket

Montreal waiting a long time??? Puhleeze.  Tut tut, like pulling for the Yankees, Cowboys, Celtics! BAH!  Crunch the Crabs, Flyers.
Got to love the Sharks too.  A team to reckon with, and the best hockey logo, they and the AHL Albany River Rats!

Thanks AH, the Sharks can use all the support they can get having entered uncharted territory. This is the first time in their now 19 year history that they've reached the Western Finals. The Giants, A's, 49ers, Raiders, & Warriors wish they had the die-hard support that the Sharks have. That much devotion deserves reward. Tough losing game 1 on home ice, but game 2 is another day.

                                                                                        GO SHARKS!!!

Nothing personal against Montreal or Philadelphia, but a path has seemed to open for the Western conference winner, if you give any credence to the seedings. #7 & #8 v. #2 or #1.

reverse curse? now you've got Sheety Wallace of the Celtics wearing a Flyers hat. some people in Boston are upset. GO SHARKS! send Joe a redwing jersey.

My ex goalie compatriot here at work says the trick is to chop the achilles tendon when the forwards are in the crease with the back of the stick.    That discourages repeated forays into that hallowed zone. He says the Bullies goalie used to look like he was felling trees with an axe. (I believe him because his two front teeth are capped with tiny hockey stick inlays on each tooth from a face save he made once!    Tough guys only need apply.)
