Is there any hockey fans out here in the world of EoFF?
I am but, the NHL is evil and took my Hartford Whalers away from me. Sooooo I don't really have anyone to root for since the local teams were all their rivals.
The closest I got to the NHL was a video game and the Mighty Duck movies.
Well in any case the NHL is expanded to LV, and I think the proposed a team in Seattle called the Mammoth's. The legendary Martin Brodeur is retiring with 691 victories, he is the NHL's all-time wins leader and boasts 125 shutouts, also a league record. If anyone cares. Hey the Maple Leafs play tomorrow!
I'm Canadian so I'm a hockey fan by default
I loosely cheer for the Bruins, Flyers and Blackhawks.
Oh what part of Canada? Do you have a favorite team?Quote:

When I was little I would root for New Jersey Devils to troll the adult I was living with
So what do you think of the Senators? Canadians, always the Montreal Canadians. Why do I meet so many Habs fans.
I don't mind the senators. I used to make some decent money in high school betting against them though :3:
I was a Thrashers fan because geography. They were scrappy, but it didn't last and they went to Winnipeg. (I think)
Atlanta can't keep a hockey team. /poors some beer on the ground for the Atlanta Flames.
Atlanta Flames didn't really have a great impact on the NHL. I didn't see many Atlanta fans anywhere really, although I kind of liked their color scheme!
Well Pumpkin you can't rely on that anymore because they are quite the force now!Quote:

Sadly there's just not enough of them to support a team. No monies, no funnies.
I just learned that Calgary still uses the flaming A logo to designate a team captain. That's pretty cool. I just wonder how many people up there realize the Flame logo comes from the fact that Atlanta was burned to the ground. :p

Yeah I don't think many people would know that Atlanta Flames became Calgary, but the Thrashers actually became the Jets! :shobon:Quote:

I should just say screw it, and claim to be a Red Wings fan. I think they're consistently decent.
