The lesson?

Size matters.

Anyone who says differently is selling something.

Namely they're own inadequacies.

I think this is in poor taste. A National Hookey League indeed! As if we don't have enough trouble trying to get our kids to take school seriously, here we have an organization about playing hookey. What do they do, reward the person that cut the most days of school? What is this world coming to?


Huh?

Oh.

Oooops.

Never mind.

Actually, following a National Hookey League would probably be far more enjoyable than watching professional ice hockey. Boring game, that.

Alas, I remeber in the before times, there was an NHL, the one sport where Canada still reigned supreme. Then the Lightening were allowed into the league. And a Movie (Ye old Mighty Ducks)

I've not given a darn for hockey for several years now.

I'm with you there. I completely lost interest when Winnipeg lost its team.

I have a friend who used to play goal in high school and college. He noticed that the equipment size in the NHL wasn't regulated and wanted to design the 4' x 6' blocker. He would spend the game inside the net and just put the blocker on the ice just outside the goal line. I guess now he'll never achieve his dream.

I'm glad to see hockey will return, and I'm ok with the rules changes. I just want the game to be exciting like I remember it was years ago...of course maybe that had more to do with the Bruins having a decent team back then than the rules.

I hope all you Penguins fans find that Crosby lives up to the hype. There was this kid by the name of Thornton who was in the same situation years ago. He's been a good player, but not the franchise saving sensation that everyone thought he would be.

Joe Thornton's best years are ahead of him. He was really coming into his during the 03-04 season, but he was battling injury pretty much the whole year. I think he'll be one of the marquee players in the new NHL.

I hope if the rumours are true and Bertuzzi demands a trade, Boston will take him in exchange for Thornton.

If the Bruins make that trade, it proves that Harry Sinden is in the latter effects of a debilatating brain disease.

No shot at Bertuzzi, but Thorton's worth an awful lot more then Bertuzzi straight up.

Devilbat, are you playing in Winnipeg these days (Summer league)?

Devilbat, are you playing in Winnipeg these days (Summer league)?

No, my season goes from early September until the end of June, I try and give the body a break over the summer.
