Hurlshort Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I first started to follow hockey about a season before the Sharks hit the ice. It had been announced that San Jose was getting a franchise, so all my friends and I started to pay attention to the league; we went and bought sticks to play in our driveways and we started playing Blades of Steel on our NES. The first team I got into was the Blues, with Brett Hull and eventually Brenden Shanahan. They were just the most exciting line to watch in hockey. My first jersey was a Blues one. So this is going to be an interesting series to watch for me. I'm a Sharks fan first, but I still look at the Blues with a fair amount of pride.
Volourn Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Penguins are looking pretty ugly since the Kessel acquisition. "Thanks for picking up that fat bastard from us!" TRIPLE L0L Where are all the pathetic moronic Leaf fans who were blaming Kessel for them sucking? HAHAHAHA! DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 Sharks are looking pretty good. I'm going to try not to get too excited, but they've controlled the pace in all 3 games.
Guard Dog Posted May 20, 2016 Author Posted May 20, 2016 According to Chris Creamer's crew over at www.sportslogos.net this will be the Panthers new logo. I don't love it... but I don't hate it either. Not as good as what they have now: "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell
Hurlshort Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 It looks like a Park Ranger badge. Not that those are bad, but it is an odd choice for a sports team.
Volourn Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Looks awful. The current one works fine. just another way to make mroe money from suckers. 1 DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted May 26, 2016 Posted May 26, 2016 I'm in a bit of shock. I need to figure out a way to get tickets. 4
IndiraLightfoot Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Pittsburgh vs Sharks!!? What's happening? Great finals, mark my word! 1 *** "The words of someone who feels ever more the ent among saplings when playing CRPGs" ***
Volourn Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 Where all the anti Kessell punks? LMAO they have vanished for most of these playoffs. Also, L0L, at the people who have always attacked the Sharks for being 'chokers' and other nonsense. DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Guard Dog Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 At first I just hated it. Now it's growing on me a little. I do like the retro look of the jersey design. But it is still a downgrade on the original. http://panthers.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=884875 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

ManifestedISO Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 I think I dropped my cheese sandwich like three times in the first period. I don't think I've ever wanted the underdog to win more than now. Post to post, are you kidding. 2 All Stop. On Screen.
Hurlshort Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 Pretty exciting they managed to bring the series back to San Jose. Now I just hope they can force a game 7. 2

IndiraLightfoot Posted June 10, 2016 Posted June 10, 2016 (edited) I'll certainly miss the memories of him as a kid, and those aren't from any television or anything. I traded hockey sticker cards with other kids at school (one of my few possessions in my rucksack I lugged around everywhere), and then I had this album full of NHL heroes. For some reason, I couldn't forget those four photos of him and the text describing him. Why? Well, he was the same age as my grand dad, if he had been alive, and Gordie was still going strong.

Hurlshort Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 One of my buddies just had a baby, and I've got first dibs on his ticket for game 6 tonight if he decides not to go. Fingers super crossed. 3

Bartimaeus Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Darn. Quote How I have existed fills me with horror. For I have failed in everything - spelling, arithmetic, riding, tennis, golf; dancing, singing, acting; wife, mistress, whore, friend. Even cooking. And I do not excuse myself with the usual escape of 'not trying'. I tried with all my heart. In my dreams, I am not crippled. In my dreams, I dance.
ManifestedISO Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Serious. One good thing, I'm going to write in Martin Jones for President in November. You can write-in Canadians, right ... 1 All Stop. On Screen.
Volourn Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 lol kessel haters lol DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Hurlshort Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Kessel was a better choice for the Conn Smythe. I would have even understood Letang, or one of those guys who was blocking shots all series long. Crosby deserved consideration, but it seemed more about him being the face of the NHL than the actual stats.
Krookie Posted August 31, 2016 Posted August 31, 2016 oh also, does anyone know anything about Beau Bennett other than that he's apparently made of glass?
