Hey Northerners

Little Steven

A week from tonight plus a half hour we won't have to be sitting on a bbq forum on Saturday night. I for one am jonesing soooo bad and I forgive them all. Just get on with it!

But you could be preping for the pre-game party-It's a great game but way too fast for TV even in this day and age.  And I recall when black and white was the only choice-yup , many laps of the sun-and grew up just over the border south of Montreal.

I don't get Oprah Winfrey Network here in TX so I won't be able to watch hockey this year ( I think that's where it is now....not sure)

I compare hockey with the magnates....

Mr Holloway

If you feel that strong about it , you should grab us some tickets

Never been to the ACC for a game yet

 I will get Leapin' Lou to come with us

It will have to be an afternoon game though LOL

The Predators are here in Nashville. I've never been but hear it's fun.

I have seasons. Let me know what you want to see. We'll have to go scalpers on one ticket cause we only have a pair. Serious though. You will have to drop me off in Caledon and take 24 home

Lou. I liked you and really respected your profession. If you tell me you were a fan of L'Habitant it's over between us

Let's go habs. Sorry LS, the old man was from Montreal and I can't go against genetics.

Mr Holloway

Wow!!!  I have never met a Leaf's seasons ticket owner

That might be more amazing than your Butter Chicken

 We will talk about this over lunch

^:)^

Well-I did take French as a second language in HS-and I did attend the same uni as Ken Dryden ( 2 years junior so only saw his last two seasons)- and I have seen the game in the original Forum-and back in the old six team league, yes it is true!  However, as time moved on I did spend a couple of years in DC (not BC) so then aligned with the Caps-and although they could win in the regular season, the play-offs were usually one round and done back in the mid '80's. We all make choices... But somehow, I will survive!!! >- And somehow through all this I have missed your allegiance...

I wonder if NBC (No-Body Cares) is going to carry any NHL this year.....

Me, I'm not sure I really care, still lots of that wussy NFL "fair catch" football to watch, then NASCAR fires up.....

It's OK to be a fan of Ken Dryden, John Ferguson, Larry Robinson and I'll even stand for the little flower. It's the team you can't speak of

I went to a lot of Flames games, but they left and went to Calgary. I went to a lot of Thrashers games but they left and went to Winnypeg. Now I have a closet full of hockey jerseys for teams that no longer exist. Will stick to watching college and team USA games now.Love the game

Little Steven

Gotta love the US in the juniors and worlds. Olympics too. I don't think Canada will be in the same class as them in ten years.

I am so f-ing excited for the Caps to start. I was going to get season tickets this year but didn't due to Bettman douchebaggery.

Les Habitants are my second favorite after watching Roy growing up.

Go Caps

Onward le bleu-blanc-rouge

Little Steven

Dude,

We aren't allowed to have guns here but if Gary walked down Yonge street in Toronto he would have his sports jacket pulled over his head and recieve a sound thrashing

Go Habs Go - you Sir are a gentleman.... I like 'em because of Jaques Plante.

@ LS-It's OK to be a fan of Ken Dryden, John Ferguson, Larry Robinson and I'll even stand for the little flower(don't know that one). It's the team you can't speak of -Okay-got it now-you are probably too young to have appreciated Frank Mahovlich but what a scorer-dang that was intense hockey when you had the original group-no dilution.  Of course time moves on as do we all and if it weren't for the expansion, I wouldn't get to see the game live -St. Louis or Columbus are now the closest markets.

Are you really not allowed to have guns?

C'mon buddy. I've seen them win four cups. Not many of us left that can claim that

We can have guns, it's just difficult to shoot them. To take my restricted firearms from my home I need an ATT form advising where and when I will be moving them. Non-restricted can be moved by anyone with a possession license.

@L-S C'mon buddy. I've seen them win four cups. Not many of us left that can claim that. Okay-truce-we will let the rest of them figure out our senority-as if it should matter.  Now back to the No Fun League-and no I don't know much about the CFL although I have been to a game...but that was in that other province 

Little Steven

I don't watch football but back when I did if you had two tv's and turned the volume down and had a game from each league on the CFL was way more interesting. Run, pass kick but there were some intricacies.

Rifles and shotguns are accessible but assault rifles and hanguns are incredibly restricted. Honest citizens can't get them but they are cheap on the street

Skiddymarker

Interesting that the Canadian Government banned 25 and 32 cal firearms, claimed they were the "Saturday Night Specials" that were used by the bad guys. All it really did was make an uninformed public feel safer. I have a single shot 32LR Stephenson "varmit" rifle that I have a special permit for as it is prohibited. Yet my 18 shot Winchester pump 22 is non-restricted.....go figure. 

We also have a limit on the number of rounds, my restricted semi automatic handgun can only hold 10 rounds. 

LS - sorry for the hijack...

Little Steven

No worries Skiddy. Can you carry that baby in your belt and go to Stanley Park for some practice

Fred19Flintstone

Let's get back to hockey!

 

This is HockeyTown!  Detroit Red Wings!

I literally read about half the post before I realized was about hockey
