New Orleans Chris 1 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Thanks Zettie. This is the kind of stuff I need to know. I'll try to watch more to pick up on the in-game rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every game day on these boards there is a game day talk where usually you can find an online stream to watch the game. Best place to learn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New Orleans Chris 1 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 starting to see what you all (ouch) were talking about with Yzerman. I've heard of Gordie Howe, and looking at Yzerman's stats lined up next to his, it looks like I really did miss out on something special. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Orleans Chris 1 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 also, another important question- are there are a lot of women on these boards? The Saints site I have been going to has been overrun with 'em, and I just want to get an idea of how straight I get to shoot here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

New Orleans Chris 1 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 thanks for the videos guys. I'm not "feeling it" yet, but I'm sure I will in time. really looking forward to watching more hockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 thanks for the videos guys. I'm not "feeling it" yet, but I'm sure I will in time. really looking forward to watching more hockey. Steven Yzerman is a legend. The big thing you need to know about him is that he showed up huge for big games, he led by example, and a lot of times he played better than other players despite playing on a bum knee and countless other injuries. He's among the greatest ever in pro sports. But don't worry so much about the history of the Wings. That will come. They are such a historic franchise that each game you watch you'll be told about a lot of the great history. They've broken so many records, won so many trophies, had so many legends, you'll catch on really quick. You couldn't have picked a better team to follow, despite their current struggles. One mediocre year out of 20 isn't bad at all. And the team seems to be turning it up a notch of late. Expect a huge end of season push for playoffs, and then once playoffs start you'll be REALLY entertained. The Red Wings play their best in the playoffs.

zettie85 106 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 We went 42 years. Remember? Yes, I do but the Leafs will never win another cup. So it's probably good he does not go for the Leafs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greatness=PavelDatsyuk 65 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Yeah, I guess I should have thought of that. Thanks. Welcome Chris, its great to see people getting into the game of hockey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted March 7, 2010 Yes, I do but the Leafs will never win another cup. So it's probably good he does not go for the Leafs. So do you think they will go longer than the Rangers? I don't know if Buttman will allow it. Unless of course Cindy actually does stay in s***sburg that long.
