Season starts Wednesday, with the Penguins and Flames playing on Thursday (not against each other of course, or ever unfortunately this year [until the playoffs, ah thank you])!!!
YAY!!!!
This is the Penguins' year!! This is their year to not have a top 10 draft pick, hahha!!

Don't you mean Blackhawks?
Or are you implying that you don't care about hockey, haha.
I won a nice bit on the Bears last nite, hehe.

I'll second that Penguins cheer. Even though I thought it was "their season" last year.
Go Pens! I think...

Haha, it sure was supposed to be.
What a load of shiite that was though.
- k0na_an0k0
flavor. you are somewhat correct.
i don't follow hockey all that much, and with the blackhawks being as bad as they've been for as long as they've been i can't blame me.

the ducks look pretty stacked this year also....

GO FLAMERS!!

GO SENS GO!!!!!!
The Sens are always amazing until the playoffs, when they hit some roadblock and can never get past it. And it usually has to do with the goalie or players loosing hope.
I think they can totally win this year, finally, if they stay under the radar for a while and then come back during the playoffs, somewhat like what Buffalo, Edmonton, and Anaheim did last year (even though none of them won). I think being the first in the division before the playoffs doesn't end well.
That being said, Gerber was great in the reg. season and then went into a slump during the playoffs so I hope he can find a great balance with the Sens.

Wasn't this sport officially cancelled a few years back? Shouldn't it be?

Hockey is the best sport. Ever.

Woohoo. For once flavorful and i are on the same side. Much of my family is from Pittsburgh and my step-dad is a huge penguins fan so by default that's my team. we're going to see them play the ducks this year. can't wait.

Haha, Jaline this guy at work told me everytime he sees me I look more and more like Peter Forsberg so I went, "Well it is about that time, in a few hours the puck officially drops on the year."
He gave me a very serious look and went, "Eh, Senators and Leafs."
So of course we are at the elevators, in front of two meeting rooms that are full and I exclaim, "EH. EH?!?! OTTAWA IS SENS-ATIONAL MY FRIEND!!!"
He got real red and hurried in the elevator, and when I waltzed in like I just won a medal he went, "You and your fucking puns your loud fucking puns."
Then I only went down one floor instead of taking the steps.
Because why walk when you can take an elevator rite?

Nice nocomply!
I'm still kind of bummed the Ducks took their Mighty off.
Pretty "wuack" if you ask me.
Which you didn't.
- nocomply0
You are just so punny today.
I thought the "mighty" title was fun. Sad to see it go but I guess they had to grow up at some point. At least they didn't change their name to the sitting ducks.
I really don't like the new unis though.

You know how to win a girl's heart, flavor ;)
