    I'm not a huge hockey fan (not as much as other sports at least), but I casually follow it and watch some games here and there. My favorite team is the Montreal Canadiens.

    Seconded. I failed to mention that in the initial post.

    Its going to be a good game tomorrow/today. Chicago has been crazy good since the start of the season. It depends what type of game Vancouver plays, they have been so inconsistent thus far.

    It should be a pretty good game. Yea, the Hawks have been playing amazing so far and the only game we didn't win was soooo close...stupid crossbar...

    Despite my avatar, I'm a huge Canucks fan. I still support my local team though and cheer for them although they played like shit in Florida, bleh. What about when the Canucks and Jets play against each other... Well, the first Jets game I went to back in '95 I was one of the only people in the building aside from my dad wearing a Canucks shirt. I even got to see my hero Kirk McLean play! I think it I was to go to a game today I'd still be cheering for the Canucks.

    I've been a huge Canucks fan for over 10 years now and I still haven't seen any games live. Probably has something to do with the fact that I live on the opposite side of the country.

    I don't know if I am going to be able to get off work, but I want to fly up to Vancouver for a Canucks game. I am thinking I am going to have to wait until this fall.

    I am in Vancouver in 2011 during games 1 and 2 of the Stanley cup finals. I wasn't able to get tickets for the game. So I watched from the TVs setup along Granville. That was such a blast. Police estimated there were 100K people on Granville watching the game.

    I recorded this video while I was there.

    He might, but seeing how Ryan Miller is about 28-16 against the Leafs, I don't anticipate that happening again any time soon. :eusa_naug :lol:

    Vanek is so talented but he never puts together a full season. It seems like every year he starts off at a least a 2 PPG pace, then it tapers off until he finishes >1 PPG. Of course that may change this year, 15P in 6 games is insane.

    I remember people comparing Phil Kessel to Thomas Vanek as if that is a bad thing.

    I'm not a HUGE hockey fan, but I do enjoy going to the games when I can. I used to go a lot when I was a kid because we lived pretty close to the RBC center in Raleigh. So, I'm probably gonna catch some flak for it, but I'm a Hurricanes fan. Born and raised in North Carolina practically next to the RBC center, it's kind of hard not to be.

    Still, I miss Irbe. Canes just haven't been the same without him.
