I knew I'd find at least one other Hockey nut! Ya that game was good...Rask was just a brick wall, good thing too cause it would've been a very different game if Boston didn't have the goaltending that we do. That save on Koivu was absolutely filthy. And ya Iggy has been puttin' it away for Boston this year. I'm just glad he's not another Jagr...he's a great player but he didn't do shit for the Bruins. The way Iggy conditions and works harder than most, he definitely deserves it. My West Coast team is the Sharks...I get Comcast sports where I live so I watch more regular season Sharks games than anyone else.
 

Wait, what?

Wasn't Bobby Orr involved with the Wild front office? He was my favorite player as a kid. I don't follow as much with the helmet rule. Can't tell one player from the other

Not sure. I know he has scouted for a bunch of NHL and minor league teams and that he worked in the blackhawks front office for a bit after he retired. Haha I wish i watched hockey when there was no helmet rule...i was born a few years too late.

Haha Oh Boston is ready...But I don't see the hawks making it to the cup this year. The way the Blues, Ducks, and Sharks have been playing, playoffs in the west are going to be intense. Boston is poised to head back to the cup for the third time in 4 years...I see Philly and Pittsburgh being the only real competition in the East this year.

Then it's settled, CU again in June. Cups are hard to come by, the toughest trophy in all of sports...so I'm not expecting any repeat here.

BTW, where do I buy one of those goalie horns?...that would be nice installed on my car.:mrgreen:

The last player allowed to go without was a Ranger, but was one of the original Big Bad Bruins. Forget his name. I do remember him going nuts when they entered Madison Square Garden and they started playing "You gotta talk to the Animals" from Doctor Dolittle. A twenty minute fight before the star spangled banner :)

Last guy to play without a helmet was Craig MacTavish if I remember correctly. I used to use it as a fake name when getting questioned by cops as a teenager lol.

I'm a life long Sabres fan. This season they are somehow making the Bills look good. We get fucked with weather, fat people, and poor people, why oh why can't we win just one damn championship?

Looked that up, you're right. I forget the guy's name, but watched him at the Garden. They claimed he was the last player to not wear a helmet, my brother remembers it. I need to ask my older brother, he knows hockey better than me....or anyone :)

I have to feel for you, Buffalo tops just about every list in the disappointing sports cities to live in department...followed closely by Cleveland and Milwaukee.

Haha that's some funny shit.

And ya I feel for ya...I'm a Tennessee Titans fan so I know how it is. It looks like Buffalo's making moves for the future though...As a Boston fan, its always fun when we play Buffalo (except when John Scott is on the ice, he's just a goon looking to hurt people) but I would like to see some more competition in the East. Having to battle the penguins every year for the top seed gets old (I don't like flightless birds).
