It's Hockey Season!!

“We'll be sitting behind the bench. Looking forward to a great game.”

“Bastard! I'll be sitting in front of the TV, assuming they actually show the game.”

“Devils/Lightning, now there's a match made in hell!”

“I sure wish I could go.”

“To hell?”

“Oh, Tango meant the game. Silly me!”

“Never mind.”

“HEY!!!”

“The National Hockey Leagues Board of Governors today unanimously approved the sale of the Atlanta Thrashers to a group comprised of Steven Belkin; Todd Foreman; Michael Gearon, Sr.; Michael Gearon, Jr.; Bruce Levenson; Ed Peskowitz; M. Bud Seretean; Rutherford Seydel II, Beau Turner and Turner Broadcasting System, Inc.

Wonder if they'll move?”

“Sunday's the last day of the regular season. Who's ready for hockey's second season, the quest for the cup?”

“I'd like to be, but I don't think the Flutters are. It's the Heimlich time of year in Philly!”

“Yeah, I know Limpy, I'd better not show up for the parade.”

“at this time of year (the season is almost over) But that goes away during the first play off game. I don't even know who I want to win this year yet.”

“Wow, I haven't watched hockey in a very long time. That's what comes of only having local broadcast tv, 7 channels, not cable or satellite. Then again, I don't spend a lot of time watching tv.”

“Playoff positions are still up in the air in the east with five teams within 4 points of one another with 2 games left.”

“I love to watch the playoffs but its just not the same when my team(Sabres) choke and don't make the playoffs. Well technicaly not out yet but probably will be soon.”

“Paging Dr. Heimlich, Paging Dr. Heimlich, please report to the NHL.”

“Guess who's clinched the Eastern Conference. That's right... THE BOLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!”

“They are ok(Bolts) Do they still have Andreychuck?”

“Why, yes. They certainly do.”

“That was one of Buffalos best ever draft picks :)”

“We shall see what we shall see! Pens have a great chance at the 1st draft pick!”

“As Artex mentioned, the Lightning clinch the East and home ice through the first three rounds. Now it's just a matter on if we'll be playing the Islanders or the Canadiens.

All I know for sure is that we have tickets for the first two games. YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!”

“Will you be at either of the first two games??????????

If so, we've been getting downtown early and eating at Newk's, just across the street from the SPT Forum. If you can swing it let me know. E-mail would be best because I haven't been checking in here much.

GO LIGHTNING”

“I'm a no can do for the first two, Geezr. :-( I'll let you know if anything changes.”

“Me too I am working the next 23 days straight. Then VACATION!!! WOOOO HOOOO!!!”

“23 days straight, my gawd Tango. What are you going to do with all that dough?????????

Artex, sounds good.”

“Tampa Bay right-winger Martin St. Louis is the smallest player to win the NHL scoring title in 36 years, or maybe 54 depending on the criteria used.

Anybody who has stood next to St. Louis would peg him at five-foot-seven, and if that height is used as a measuring stick he's the smallest scoring champion since five-foot-eight, 163-pound Ted Lindsay in 1950.

New Jersey goaltender Martin Brodeur gets his name on the William M. Jennings Trophy for the fourth time because the Devils allowed a league-low 164 goals, an NHL record for an 82-game schedule.

Brodeur led in wins, 38, and shutouts, 11.

With 262 goals, the Ottawa Senators were the highest-scoring team. But there's no trophy for that.

Montreal's Michael Ryder led all rookies in scoring with 25 goals and 38 assists for 63 points.

San Jose's Vinny Damphousse scored the last goal of the season shortly before 6:30 p.m. EDT to give the Sharks a 4-3 overtime victory over Los Angeles.”

“Tomorrow’s the big day.”

“Yep, and I'll miss it. I start midnight shifts tomorrow. I'll have to listen on the internet.”

“The Capitols won the draft. DAMN, Penguins get 2nd pick. DAMN!”

“Section 312, Row A, Seats 19 & 20. Not ice level, but we're at the game!!!!!!

GO LIGHTNING”

“Damn. The Devils Flyers game is on at the same time. Which do I watch?”

“Switch back and forth like I do. You can see 85% of both!”

“I know, I probably start with the NJ Philly game and switch over to the other at the first commercial.”

“11:49 a.m. EDT April 7, 2004 - Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Eric Desjardins will miss the playoffs after breaking a plate in his right arm.

Desjardins returned to Philadelphia's lineup for the final three games after breaking his right forearm Jan. 17. The plate was inserted into his arm to strengthen it while the bone healed.

Flyers general manager Bob Clarke said Wednesday that Desjardins broke the plate while playing catch with his son.”

“Turn on two T.V's.

Montreal vs Boston....an old rivalry.”

“I've got to make sure I buy my playoff beer tonight.”

“I read that Geo, tough break. So to speak. I like him as a player. Enjoy the games guys.


ANY PREDICTIONS ON THE LORD STANLEY CUP WINNER???”

“Too hard to tell.”

“A lot of people are saying Detroit.”

“Gordie Howe is always ready when cup time comes around!”

“Most of the teams seem a real close this year.”

“Of course I'd like to see the Devil's do it. But Colorado would be good too.”

“Watch it Tango, you're skating on thin ice there! Don't make me cross check you into the boards!

Jihad the Devils!”

“You can always tell a Flyers fan.















































But you can't tell them much.”

“Lately there's not been much to tell us. I spread it around though lumberzac. Besides the Devils, I hate the Senators, Islanders, Rangers (on GP's), Bruins, Red Wings, and lately the Lightning. I'm not exactly fond of the Waddles this year either. The Canadiens are nice guys. I like them this season.”

“Go Red Wings!!!!!!!!!!!”

“Geo, only cause those teams kicked your butt!!!

Tree-glad to see we are adding another to our fold!”
