Hockey is Back!
 

I know there a few fans out there. Red Wing's Pavel Datysuk got the "Gordie Howe" hat trick (Goal, assist and fighting major) in their opening night win.

Any predictions for a Stanley Cup matchup?

Just another excuse to drink!

Who needs an excuse...I use life as one!

i wore a caps shirt yesterday to celebrate their opener... and then had to explain to my co-workers what a 'capital' was. sigh

then lost to the thrashers! oh well. hoping for the caps to make up one half of the stanley cup final.

Got a good shot if Ovy stays healthy. Hoping to see them and Pittsburg in the east finals!

Wings v Caps would make for a nice matchup.

I didn't see the game, but I can only imagine with the Ducks goons did to draw Pavel into a fighting major. What is that, like his third career?

Not sure but he's won the Byng trophy 4 of the last 5 years.

i'm not concerned about ovie. the goalies are seemingly still the big issue with this team. varly has another groin injury, an annual event for him. i can see that being an issue for him throughout his career. guess we'll have to wait and see how it goes.
