    You can visit hockey hall of fame in Toronto.

    ...and Tim Horton's of course!

    The Hall of fame is on the cards, they actually had a Nottingham Panthers (my local team) shirt on display there recently, though I think it might have been taken down now.

    All the NHL games have been brought - we have managed to get to 7 in three weeks, which I think is pretty good. We even managed to fit in a Habs v Bruins (my other half's fav team) game.

    Most of the games we are up in the gods - but in Ottawa we have seats very close to the pen box when they play the rangers .... I cant wait, already counting down the days till we fly out!

    Games that we will see:-

    Habs v Bruins
    Habs v Sens
    Sens v Avs
    Sens v Rangers
    Leafs v Tampa
    Leafs v Habs
    Leafs v Blues

    I used to sit in the seats lower down, the more expensive ones, from time to time at MSG and they were/are really expensive. I always take the seats up in the upper tier now though.

    Personally, I find that the cheaper seats up high are populated by season ticket holders and people who go all the time. The atmosphere and craic in those sections is much better than the more expensive sections. That being said, it is nice to get a seat really close to the ice from time to time, so you have got the balance right imo.

    Shocking news about Kris Letang having suffered a stroke. Get well soon.

    Terrible news, hope he makes a full recovery.

    Shocking performance from the Hawks last night coming into the Olympic break. They looked very ordinary without Kane.

    Wow, shocking news. I hope he makes a full and speedy recovery.

    Very shocking to hear about Letang, hope he is ok and gets better soon.

    Good to see the Bruins go into the break on the back of a great game. Bergeron was brilliant tonight, brilliant display of his skill level, and we could have had a good few more. The more I see of Soderberg, the more I like him, growing into the game well, and playing a stronger game.

    Looking forward to the Olympics now, good to see some of the guys that normally play together, playing on opposing sides.

    We should defend our way of life to an extent that any attempt on it is crushed, so that any adversary will never make such an attempt in the future.

    Season back to normal tomorrow. :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Yep, that break flew by. I hope the Rangers can pick up where they left off.

    Flew by probably because we were watching olympic ice hockey :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Good win for the Rangers last night against the Hawks. Picked up where we left off before the break. Things are really starting to take shape now. Nash is starting to shine too.

    Sterling performance by the Cambot too with a .96 SV%.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    Hoping to see Gudlevskis in the net for the Bolts tomorrow. Early game too, starts at 8PM.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Anyone watching the Pens @ Hawks tonight. Really tough conditions. An awful lot of snow falling.

    Luongo to Florida for a pair of prospects.

    Mike Gillis has traded Luongo and Schneider since draft day '13. He basically has Bo Horvat to show for it. They are going to run him out of town. The funny thing is that Tortorella will be driving him to the airport.

    I have no idea what the Tampa Bay Lightning are doing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    St Louis is 38?
    I don't see the long term benefit and the team isnt good enough to compete short term imo...

    Just caught this now. My first reaction is wtf? Ok, Cally wanted $7m, which is way too much for his type of player and I really valued him as a player. However, I would have far preferred to have gotten someone like Pacioretty, who is not in the good books at Montreal, or even Bieksa. It's done and dusted now anyway, we have to fight on with what we have. Interesting times ahead.

    I agree with you smackbunnybaby, I really don't see where MSL fits into the Rangers at the moment.

    Who will the Canucks have in goal now?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,711 ✭✭✭Waitsian


    How did the Leafs manage to lose 8 straight? That's ridiculous. If they offer Bolland big money after the Clarkson fiasco I'm done with them. It's looking like the awful Ballard years could be superseded.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    Was at the Rangers v Sens game last night. Some dreadful defending last night and a host of missed chances led to a Sens victory. Rangers only needed a point to guarantee post season hockey.

    It's Carolina up next at home, followed by Buffalo.

    I've got a few Euro on the Blues, love to see them win it.

    Gillis fired as gm of canucks, about time I think personally...

    He has turned the club from game 7 losers three years ago to a club with little potential of reaching the finals for the foreseeable future!

    Delighted for Gillis, can't stand the guy and the culture of hockey he has up there, next up Torts.

    I'd love to see the Sabres get the Stanley cup but... :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,335 ✭✭✭smackbunnybaby


    The state of their goalkeeping now and then is nothing short of a disgrace.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    Ryan Miller was their best goalie, Enroth was the 2nd best but he's injured amongst other Sabres players. They've got a few guys from AHL called out so the the team is quite messy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭COYW


    They are playing at MSG tonight. I am expecting a Rangers win but you never know. The Rangers have given away sloppy goals in their last two games. Both were turnovers in our own defensive zone. The sooner McDonagh gets back the better.

    Edit : Just back from the game. It was a poor one overall. A late one timer from Nash got the win. Lots of room for improvement in the post season. I am not confident about the post season, I have to admit.

    :D

    I was actually referring to the Canucks!

    But buffalo's isn't much better, maybe worse!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,925 ✭✭✭GvidoR


    Woo! Very proud of Kristers Gudļevskis.

    He made his NHL debut tonight with Tampa Bay Lightning and won with a score 3 - 2. He made 36 saves out of 38 shots on goal by Columbus Blue Jackets.

    Now he goes down in history as the only player ever to play in ECHL, AHL and NHL leagues as well as the Olympics during one season.
