You are SUCH a tease.

I'll be up in Maine when the Devils come to town. But I'd still love to go the Rangers game on March 12th. Whadda ya say?”

“I think it would be great in NJ got there @sses kicked by the Lighting!!!!


8)”

“No doubt, Crazy Mike. I don't as much about hockey as I do football and I'm still learning, but from what I understand, it's hard to match up with the Lightning's speed.”

“Darius isn't playing but I'll look at my schedule!

The Devils will ground the lightning! (technical electrical term!)”

“I have always hated the NJ Devils so I hope they loose!


8)”

“Hey, I can go 3/12 I actually have a day off!”

“Redwings RULE! 8)”

“Cool deal, Tango! Let's do it! (the game, I mean)”

“You buy the tickets, anywhere you want to sit I reimburse you for mine, ok?”

“I have always hated the NJ Devils so I hope they loose!

Them's fighting words Mike. Put up your dukes.”

“YEAH wooooohoooo...who gives a rats ass about hockey...never liked it and ive been to a couple of matches in Atlanta....not a very southern thing to do...”

“Football is for sissies and girlie men.”

“what the hell is hockey?

ain't that what you do to a loogie?”

“Hockey is the sport of Gods! It has the best of EVERY other sport all wrapped up into one!”

“Foosball's the devil.”

What like ice dancing? Or baton twirling? HAHAHA





















J/K sheesh take a joke”

“{Best Tom Hanks voice}

There's no joking in Hockey!
There's NO JOKING in Hockey!

(I crack me up!)”

“Tango, cool deal.”

“Hey, the TV date girl isn't going to try to kick my butt is she? I'd hate to have to bruise anyone before the game! LOL”

“No worries, you could take her.”

“No doubt.

The Flutters could have used Tango last night.”

“http://www.nhlcbanews.com/

All the news that's fit to print (or not...)”

“Well, it's happened...we now have a one-eyed forward!

When the Penguins newest player looks through his left eye, he says it's like looking through water.”

“Go figure!


8p”

“He's definitely no Martin St. Louis.”

“That's for damn sure!”

“Last night's score: Black Hawks 1, Flyers 1, ex-Black Hawks 2.”

“The way the Penquins have been playing a one-eyed forward can't hurt. ;-)”

“That is just so wrong Geezr! It is sad. But I still watch every game. I am a die hard fan, they'll get better, they're just young.”

“Geezr, you still in FL?”

“What happened, did that player got jabbed in the eye with a stick?

Major reason for mandatory visors on helmets!!!!!”

“He was hit in the eye with a puck. I don't know if he wears a visor now, Stanlee.

Marty has supplanted Darius as the hockey love of my life! He has been my fantasy goaltender 2 years running, HE'S GREAT!!!”

“So you're just dumping poor Darius like that?

Jeez, what a cold-hearted woman!

The poor misguided goon never had a chance!”

“So Philly & Ottawa are playing tonight. Is it possible for them to both loose?”

“Thanks Tango.

I don't know if you Yanks heard about Don Cherry's remarks on visors. He said only European and Quebec players wear them.....making them look like sissies.

The NHL now have a 7 second delay on his little time slot....after a national uproar.”

“That oughta provide more fuel for the separatists!

I do fondly remember the days of yore when you could see players' faces and expressions, even at the rink. Pretty soon they'll look like armored knights.”

“Sounds like the controversy around Jacques Plante when he started wearing a mask in goal.”

“Hockey players resisted wearing helmets and masks in those days of machismo. It was the death of a North Stars player just after expansion that brought about the helmet rule, and then older players were grandfathered and didn't have to use them. But when those players all retired, the helmets became mandatory.

One of the key gripes about the helmet was restricted visibility. One has to wonder whether restricted visibility is a factor in all the injuries we're seeing these days, or whether the injuries are due to a different style of play.”

“It sounds like a case of the chicken and the egg.”

“I think it's a combinations of factors. If you're not wearing body armor, you'd be more inclined to play a bit more conservatively. The armor gives a false sense of security. But then guys were taking pucks to the face and stick blades to the face in those days too. No big thing. They went off for some embroidery and were back the next period.

But the concussions seem to be out of control. Two Flyers got zonked in the same game - one by a puck and the other by the ice.”

“I MARVEL AT THOSE GUYS PUNCHING A GUY IN THE HELMET REPEATEDLY. THAT CAN'T BE GOOD FOR THE KNUCKLES.”

“Also look at the size of the players today versus back in the day. There is more power today, more muscle size I think this has something to do with it.

I also wonder what slap shot speeds were back then too. Did anyone have a 100 mph slapper?”

“tHEY DIDN'T HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO MEASURE, BUT DIDN'T THEY CALL HIM "ROCKET" FOR A REASON.

ON THE NOTE OF RADAR AND SPEED... 2/3s OF ALL FASTBALLS OVER 100 MPH THROWN IN THE NAT'L LEAGUE WERE THROWN BY ONE PLAYER (100+ OF APPR 150) AND HE IS NOW A PHILLIE. I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO GO TO A GAME THIS YEAR!”

“Hey did I mention the Penguins won a game!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“That's one.”

“That's 12 my friend!”

“It's actually sad to see the Pen's play so poorly. They were never one of the teams I like or disliked, but I always respected them.”
