J-Rod, I didn't know you were a Preds fan?

civicstyle82 · 09-09-2005

I know some people there, Shea Weber, Kris Beech(traded from Pittsburgh today) and Cody Franson(most likely be back in Vancouver with the Giants this season)

^ Oh yeah, forgot... silly me... lol...

I can't wait for this season to start either. I definitely want to see how the Pens do for their first game.

Go Canucks and Oilers... ha ha..

civicstyle82 · 09-10-2005

Damn Clem the Canucks first pre-season game is against the Oilers...who are you gonna cheer for?

CdnSilverStreak · 09-11-2005

Both I guess... lol... although I am slightly more of a Canucks fan than the Oilers. Nonetheless, it will be a great game.

Fu(k...does Sidney Crosby piss anyone else off, he strikes me as such a ****ing crybaby...I think he lacks the discipline to play in the NHL.

We'll see when the Pens whip your a$$

civicstyle82 · 09-17-2005

Haha...they might do alright but one 18 year old kid isn't going to carry a team to a Cup. The pressure is gonna kill him if that's what the Pens are expecting of him.

No, I think they know that, but they aren't expecting him to carry us.

Thats why they picked up Palffy, LeClair, Gonchar, Odelein, Recchi, and Thibault. Not to mention having Lemieux on the ice.

civicstyle82 · 09-20-2005

Anyone think that the pre-season predicts the regular season?

CdnSilverStreak · 09-20-2005

No. I think that most of the players are warming up or just playing to test their stuff out. They know for a fact that there is nothing on the line.

civicstyle82 · 09-20-2005

True...I hope the Red Wings, Avalanche, Devils...etc. aren't as dominent as they used to be and we get someone else running for the Cup. I know the last cup finals was Flames-Lightening, but you get what I'm saying.

CdnSilverStreak · 09-21-2005

Exactly. Though I'm not a Flames fan per se, I personally thought it was exciting during their run to the cup. Anyone who was a hockey fan knew how hard they were playing every night, and that made it exciting and entertaining.

I still can't wait for this season to start, who will dominate and who will not?

Jarrod, did you see on the news regarding some of the Canuck players who were in shape and those who were sub-par? Crawford mentioned that Salo and the Twins were pretty sharp but that Jovanovski and Ohlund were in rough shape.

Too bad Sopel is no longer around... lol...
