Oh, yeah; forgot to mention that for the first time in 3 years the Avs are going to the playoffs! I should've started getting into hockey years ago. Just like football, every game I watch just makes me wonder why I didn't start sooner. I knew it! I said give it a chance and it seems like you're beginning to fall in love with the game like the rest of us have.

Admittedly, in the mid 2000's it was hard to be a fan with all the nonsense with lock outs/labor stoppages, tv deals, rule changes and all that.

I fell out of hockey for a year and a half after the 04-05 lockout because I was so angry at the league at the time.

I still stat checked and looked at records. But like once a month, not almost daily like I did and do now. Roy brought me to hockey in 95, and him being a coach brought me back.

Well this was officially the season the Oilers broke me that I haven't watched a full game since last year. But honestly this hockey board is what keeps me updated on the NHL. Also I'm a full time playoff watcher. I don't think nothing can break me out of hockey unless if I start working 96 hour work weeks and have a family of four.

If the Oiler's become good (yeah right) I'm going to miss the icebreaker of talking about how the Oiler's suck whenever I see a cute girl wearing any Oiler's apparel.

Coming up in the world, they are almost pathetic now!

This would be the perfect game for MSL to get back into a scoring groove, but so far, nothing. Still 4-0 though as Nash netted 2.

not a Leafs fan but a friend just told me this one;
"When I die I want the Toronto Maple Leafs to be my Pallbearers. that way they can let me down one last time".

Yesterday, the Avs Ryan O'Reilly suffered his first penalty this season (72 games), he was caught playing with a broken stick...

I remember hearing that quote a few years ago when a loyal season ticket holder for the browns put that on his obituary. It went viral and The Cleveland Browns did actually send players from the active roster to fulfill the guys request.

Just watched a blip about a charity dealio put on by the wives of Avs players. Got a grin out of the wives group being called "Avs Better Halves".
I have been watch a lot of post game stuff form the Avs as well, and I have got to say, Patrick Roy has changed so much from when he was a player. First off, I can understand him. But he is humble now, he gives his teams and opponents respect and he has no cockiness at all.
I miss the guy who did this:
And of course this:

Admittedly, in the mid 2000's it was hard to be a fan with all the nonsense with lock outs/labor stoppages, tv deals, rule changes and all that. I had a big interest up until 2001 and slowly it trickled away. After the lockout, I lost all interest but the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals got me back into Hockey. My problem was for the longest time, living in Maryland, I had no way of seeing the Kings play. I still remember sleepwalking through the 2011-12 season until around midway through and tuning in weeks leading into the playoffs. I went to Olive Garden one night and a friend was telling me how excited she was about the Caps getting to the playoffs and felt they had a legit shot at winning it all. I sat back and just said, I'm glad the Kings are getting in, but I don't see anything coming of it. How glad I was to be wrong 2 months later.

Kane and Toews out for the Hawks, likely till playoff time at least.
Duchene and Parenteau out likely til playoff time. Tanguay out for the year.
Both teams geared up a few weeks back and started playing a harder hitting game with more hits (the Avs were sometimes four hits a game, now over 20 per). It is getting them ready for the playoffs, but they are hurting, so many injuries. And so far the Avs are dealing with them better, with more guys stepping up and Varly being a freaking beast.
