Hockey

[ila]

I have to confess, shadows. I got busy last night and forgot to even check the score. Thankyou for the update. I'm not as dedicated a hockey fan as I used to be, but I usually checkout the game off and on when Montreal is playing.

You're quite welcome.

I also don't watch Leaf games as much as I used to due to work and the fact that they are very painful to watch sometimes.

After the Wotld series is over i'll start to follow the Flyers but i'm not in to it as much anymore as the strike a few years back kinda ruined hockey for me

I scored tickets to the NHL Winter Classic on January 1, 2010. The Boston Bruins (my hometown team) playing the Philadelphia Flyers outdoors, in Fenway Park!

That looks like it will be a sweet game to attend! That game will have lots of action and I am predicting lots of big hits!

Your Bruins seem to be bitten by the injury bug big time! I am also a little surprised at how average Tim Thomas has been so far this year(for the most part). At least you'll get a couple of nice 1st round picks because of my Leafs.

Speaking of injuries, there sure have been a lot of them to big-name players this year, eh smc?

Add Ovechkin and Eric Stall to that list, as they both got injured last night.

I'm a casual hockey fan. I pull for teams on a casual basis, but I'm not so dedicated that I go to any length to watch games or follow particular teams. I enjoy "Hockey Night in Canada" on the CBC every Saturday.

Teams I like: Montreal, Boston (my current "home" town), and Atlanta (my former home town).

What do you think of the new 'Hockey Night In Canada' theme? Is it better than the old one or worse?

One positive that I took from the strike is that it brought about the salary cap. It makes for a more level playing field. That way the teams with the biggest pocketbooks aren't winning year after year.

With regards to the World Series, I have to say I am seriously questioning some of Charlie Manuel's managerial skills. He has made a few boneheaded decisions that have caused the Phillies to be down 3-1.
