Hockey 2011-2012
I don't want to steal mojo from Shadows or anyone else who by all rights should start this thread, but I'm Jonesin' to talk about the coming season. Got a pile of tickets in the mail. Pre-season start is just a week away!
Who do you like for your division? Out west, strong will be Vancouver, Kings and Sharks. Gotta say that a couple of the trades were tough (Seto was a favorite), but on balance, Sharks look strong. Better D for sure and more size and speed up front. See you in the cup final! :innocent: :rolleyes: :kiss: -K |
Still no word on when Sid will lace em up and take the ice :frown:
But i still like my Penguins to kick Tampa's butt :yes: Penguinsfan Jen |
The Bruins finally signed Brad Marchand, and they look good in their division. I am still working hard to score a couple of tickets for October 6th, when the Championship Banner will be hoisted to the rafters of the Garden!

You stole my mojo!:eek:
*looks for the ban button*:innocent: In all seriousness, I am hopeful of the Leaf's chances this season. I think they will be an improved team over last year, and if they can get off to a better start, they should be okay. I don't think they will win the Cup, but I do think they can make the playoffs.:) |

Look on the brightside as you started the previous two hockey threads perhaps by someone else starting it this year will break the Leafs funk and help them put the biscuts in the basket this year But i still say my Penguins will be lighting the red light this season :yes: Penguins cheerleader Jen |
Colorado looks like they want to make the playoffs this year. Got rid of Peter Budaj and Brian Elliot in goal that imploded Last year and being last in GAA I think it was 3.6 GAA. Signed Varlomov from Washington and Giguire from FA. Last year was Depressing from being in the playoffs to being the 2nd to last team in the west. I think Playoffs for them is Possible with the Avs lineup being young and Milan Hejduk the only one that is couple of years away from Retirement and the only one from the Avalanche Glory Days.

The teams to watch this year will be Montreal and Winnipeg. Can Montreal finally get through a full season playing hockey to their full potential or will they choke again when it comes to the important games? They haven't made any major changes over the off-season. I think that they could have used a good shakeup, even if it was only verbally.
Winnipeg bought a team with a lot of potential. I don't think that they will win the cup this season, but they should make the playoffs. They're stuck in the east division for this season so it should be an interesting race for first place. Watch for Winnipeg to become cup contenders during the next few seasons. |

I agree the new Jets should be a fun team to watch and should make the playoffs and may be a cup contender in a few years but for now i only see opening playoffs then done but the fans could provide them with extra gusto with there support something they really never had in Altana :yes: Penguins Cheerleader Jen |

Good luck to you all! :respect: |
Saw the first game action of the 11/12 preseason last night on the NHL Network the Mapleleafs vs Flyers
While it was nice seeing some new hockey action i'm sorry to say Shadows that the Mapleleafs look the same as last year While the Flyers won 4-zip i was not that impressed with em and they showed me no reason to come back and root for em :no: Penguins cheerleader Jen |
Sharks won their pre-season opener v. Anaheim 6-1. I didn't see/hear the game, but the stats are pretty dominant.
Clowe and Couture put in a decent appearance, 12-15 minutes, but it was largely young guys playing for both teams. Greiss was in goal for the whole game. None of the big new trades played, Havlat, Handzus, Burns, etc. New D-men Jim Vandermeer and Colin White played though. Brad Winchester (who I used to "hate") is now with the Sharks, getting an assist and penalty. :-) I'm looking forward to seeing a pre-season game soon, and seeing how things start shaking out. K |

Good thing it's the preseason, we've got seven keepers on the roster. :-) I think Greiss will be in goal for a while. He was the backup for Nabokov two years ago. |
Saw the first two preseason Penguins games on the NHL network
Looks like Malkin is 100 percent and played verywell in game one Staal and Latang looked good The only thing missing from the Penguins is Sid :frown: But my Penguins look great Boston better hang up any dreamers of a repete 11/12 is the season of the Penguins :yes: Penguins cheerleader Jen |
16500 saw the Sharks improve to 3-0 last night. Unlike the home preseason opener where they spanked Anaheim with 49 shots and won 5-1, it was a goaltending/defensive struggle against Phoenix. Very few shots throughout. Sateri, in goal for the Sharks got the shutout and first star, despite some dangerous rebounds that the Sharks jumped on first. Ferriero got the goal and the second star. LaBarbera got the third star for Phoenix.

Crosby participated in a controlled scrimmage, so he has taken another step towards being able to play fully again. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before that happens. |
Sharks are now 5-0 in the preseason and 22/24 on the PK. The latter number is more interesting since they're tweaking the approach after last year's mediocre numbers. The last two games were against the Cauncks, but not really since they've been sitting most everyone that's got a locked spot. Nice to see Malhotra back to playing form.
|
Great start to the season for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They beat Montreal(sorry ila!) 2-0. Excellent game!:)
|
It's On!
The season is here! :turnon:
Sharks open at home Saturday against Phoenix, with the second game of the season THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY at Phoenix. :turnoff: I'll be watching your teams play for a while ... :) Good luck! |
Time to strike up the music for my happy dance
http://youtu.be/PIYsdliq4TU Not only has the 11/12 season started but my Penguins won over the the Canucks but Cook scored twice and recieved no fines :lol: Hockey fever catch it baby :yes: Penguins cheerleader Jen |
Can't wait for The Avalanche to start their season tonight. They retire Forsbergs Number and start the season with Varlomov in goal. I think that the Avs made a good move in trading their draft pick to Washington for Varly. Also a nice pick in Giguire as he won in Anahiem in 2007.
Best thing to start the Season. A rivalry renewed from 1996-2002 as we play against Detroit. Man I miss those Days.:( |

Whew! Toronto escaped with a 6-5 victory tonight to improve to 2-0 for the season. They had a 5-1 lead at one point, and then seemed to fall asleep at the second half of the third period. Thank goodness they didn't completely fall apart and were able to win the game!
Other games of note: 1. Philadelphia beat New Jersey 3-0. Dauls won't be very happy about this. 2. Boston beat Tampa Bay 4-1 for their first victory of the season. Smc will be very happy about this. The other games that have TLB fans are still ongoing. |
how about a little Shakira music for my happy dance
http://youtu.be/4N7laeCd-aM Yes my Penguins won tonight and are now 3-1 for the season and there only loose is cause of the annoying BS shoot out rule :eek: Still no word on when Sid will lace em up and play a game :frown: :yes: Penguins cheerleader Jen |

Johnson is the Mesa of hockey
The Phillies had a closer named Jose Mesa and everytime he took the mound a feeling of dread came over me cause i knew he'd blow the game ending in a Phillies loss
Well i now get that feeling every time i see Johnson at in the net for the Penguins just about every loss this year had Johnson in net And sure enought he was in net tonight and my Penguins lost :( Penguins cheerleader Jen |
To those of you who have asked, I have no explanation for the performance of my Bruins thus far this season. The "hangover" from an off-season of Stanley Cup celebrations is no longer viable as an excuse. I am a very disillusioned (albeit loyal) fan.
One thing that would help right now would be a hug from a Penguins fan, of course in the interest of hockey loving in general. ;) |

The hang over from Lord Stanley's cup is very powerfull just ask the Blackhawks But i don't see how huging a Penguins fan will help but since i'm the Penguins cheerleader here here's your hug :hug: :yes: Penguins cheerleader Jen |

Thank you, Jen. That's exactly what I was hoping for.;) |
I haven't kept up with the current NHL season very much so far this year. I did, however, catch the third period of the Montreal vs. Boston game the other evening. I was happy to see Montreal win. The thing is, I'd of been happy for either team to win (but I tend to lean a bit toward Montreal). I get razzed at work for being a fan of both Montreal and Boston, considering how both teams are such rivals.
The only other hockey that I've caught have been University of Maine games. I got to see an exhibition game versus New Brunswick at the start of the season and I've also seen a few games on television. It's always good to see the Black Bears win. |
On this day in 1924 (November 1), the National Hockey League organized its first team in the United States: the Boston Bruins.

My Bruins have looked really good in their last two games. I am hopeful that the team is turning around from its bad start ... permanently.

Yeah Seguin is really coming into his own this year. Glad to see he got his first career hat trick over the weekend. I watched him for 2 years in the OHL and he should be a good one.
