@Mister_Brue oh man, that will be a wild one in Montreal. Is it on a Saturday night?

Glad the season is firing back up. Born and raised in Toronto - actually the year they last won the cup - so I beLeaf! Also love to still play the game. Recent photo from USA Hockey Adult Nationals in Tampa Florida. I'm the goalie - which with all the pads on feels like wearing a different kind of Iron Heart.

@Mister_Brue You are going to have a hell of a time!
-
@dwaynelum Go LEAFS! I am not even from Toronto, I was just brainwashed to cheer for them from my old man. You need some indigo pads to see what kind a fades a few clappers will make

@derek111 they have a new digital printing technology - maybe I could get some done in XHS print. Like the wrapped truck that was in some of the pre-party photos.
My Dad secured a signed stick from that '67 cup winning team - ink on wood. And like all good Canadian kids I took it out in the snow and played road hockey with it. Totally ruining a collectors item. Here's to AM34 netting 70G this season!

@Mister_Brue it's good caliber hockey - 50+ guys may have lost a step or two, but what they lack in speed they make up for in "hockey sense." Most of the guys have played at some higher level of amateur or pro. But mainly we do it to keep the teenager in us alive and enjoy a few "pops" and camaraderie afterwards. 1hr of hockey for 3hrs of shenanigans post-game.

@Mister_Brue Bell Centre is a pretty awesome venue. And electric crowd. I love the old barns for their character and history. But modern amenities sure are nice at a game.

@dwaynelum Have you been to the Forum before they went to the Bell Center? I was at the Forum for the 1977 Stanly Cup finals Vs Boston. Ticket was 12.00 for center ice in the blue seats.

@dwaynelum oh man, that would be amazing. And yes here is to him hitting 70, maybe that C on the chest will give him yet another gear!

@twin I competed in pass, shoot, score competition at the Forum many moons ago. The finalists attended the game afterward which was broadcast on HNiC and it was the thrill of a lifetime. Habs were in their heyday then. When both the Forum and Maple Leafs Gardens closed I was lucky enough to secure a pair of seats from each that have moved with around the globe.

Pretty remarkable. A record I never thought would be broken back in the day and yet here were are.
Congratulations where they are due. Ovi is the great estimate goal scorer of all time (so far).

Gutted that the Avs exited on a winnable series, but I love ice hockey. Any fans got takes?
I believe that the NHL postseason is the best in the major professional sports, though the NBA is giving it a run for its money this year.
That said, the officiating and player safety / discipline functions in the NHL are extremely problematic.
Pulling for the Jets, Oilers, Leafs, and Hurricanes this round. I’d love to see Lord Stanley’s Cup finally return to the country that gave us this magnificent sport.
for Ovechkin!
