TOPIC: Hockey fans?...
[ron h] Monday, May 11, 2009 5:28:24 AM 
Well, I don't think along the lines of Canadien teams or American teams...if anything, I'd be more partial to rooting for the 'original' teams if my home town team wasn't in it...heritage, ya know...however, I just can't root for the Red Wings no matter what...I don't 'hate' them, just can't stand 'em (or that arena!!)...not much different than how you feel about the Rangers...No offense Guido, but I can't stand the Pistons either!!!!!!!!!!!!

As far as the hitting goes...I thought, going into the playoffs, that that was where the Hawks would come up short, and not just the hitting but in overall toughness...but I am pleasantly suprised in that they elevated their game to the next level...it was for that reason that I wasn't sure if they'd make it past the Flames (Calgary really was an impressive team to watch)...and Vancouver is even more impressive (their goalie is awesome!!!)...you don't really get the 'feel' of a team only playing them 1,2,3 or even 4 games a season...but over the course of a series you get to see (usually, at some point) what a particular team is all about...and hopefully in the playoffs, your team takes it to another level...

Still, there is a lot of great hockey left to be played, and I'm still hoping the Hawks make it to the Conf. finals...that was my hope before the games started...but it's been tough with lots of comebacks...but I haven't had this much fun since the early 90's...big game tonite for us, game 6...unfortunately the Hawks seem to play the last game each night, but 8pm (local) isn't too bad...
