ICE HOCKEY?
 
Any ice hockey fans here? Favorite team? Favorite player?

Mine: The New Jersey Devils Favorite player (all time) Scott Stevens--the ultimate hit man

Bruins.

I was 8 years old when Bobby Orr won the Cup against St Louis. Still waiting.............

I play in a men's league 2x a week year round.

Wish it had a better national following. Without a doubt it;s the best way for a 44 year old guy to stay in shape.

Never quite understood the "squid" thing in Detroit. My mom's Italian and I'd ratehr eat calamari than throw it on the ice. :)

Favorite player has to be Ken Hodge. I palyed in a charity game against the Bruins alumni. Lots of my heroes from the 70's and 80's - Hodge, Bucyk and Don Marcotte. It was a blast.

Looks like you'll be waiting even longer. Really thought the "B's" would be in the hunt this year since they picked up Chara, some others and shored up the "D"

Wish it had a better following as well.You think it would...big dudes, on ice, with sticks hitting a frozen piece of rubber upwards of 90 mph. I appreciate all that plus the quick thinking involved.

Love the sport, played for years. Favorite team is the Vancouver Canucks, favorite player used to be Pavel Bure (until he retired), current favorite player Markus Naslund.

The NHL had a chance to improve upon the rules and they blew it. I like to watch the game for what it is but there is simply too much fighting. As a Bruin's fan Orr and Espo.

Fighting really has dropped off in the last 7-10 years don't you think? Additionally, with the new rules the game really is much quicker. I believe the NHL is headed in the right direction...not as many close, BS calls as there was last year. I think it will get better.

NHL...the BEST of the four major leagues, IMHO. Sabres fan here, replanted in the South of the USA (Hurricanes are the local fav, if locals like hockey), but please refrain from the NO GOAL or WIDE RIGHT stuff. This is our year to wipe all of that away.
You Bruins fans are ugly. j/k.

Hockey!!!
Now you're talking. Lived my hole life in Montreal. The most
decorated team in all sports "The Canadians". I laced up my
skates at 4 years old and always wanted to be Guy Lafleur.
My all time favorite though has to be Mario Lemieux.

That's right. Show me a hockey player with all his teeth, and I'll show you a guy who's not trying hard enough. ;)
