Hockey Question?

Friday, June 27th, 2008
Angeleyes asked:


I am thinking of getting the guy I am dating tickets to a Pittsburgh Penguins Hockey game for christmas. However I do not know that much about hockey or the teams to know which might be good games to watch. I was wondering out of the Buffalo Sabers, Florida Panthers, Carolina Hurricanes, Los Angelos Kings, Ottawa Senators, Philadelphia Flyers, and New York Rangers which might be the best games to see. Thanks in advance!!
Yea he is a HUGE pens fan!!

The NY Rangers have won the Victoria Cup?

Thursday, June 26th, 2008
dcgta asked:


The Victoria Cup means nothing in terms of prestige or honor or does it?
I watched both Victoria Cup games that the NY Rangers played and in my opinion they looked like a team that is slowly coming together and most definitely Chris Drury should be the teams captain i dont care how good of a personality Scott Gomez has the Rangers need a player that leads by example and can rally the team around him not someone who rallys the press around him. I dont really know what im asking in this question im just really excited that its hockey season again and i just want peoples opinions on the newly created Victoria Cup and how you think the Rangers will do this season.

Hockey Fans in Tampa?

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008
the_iceman86 asked:


Ok I know I should be asking this elsewhere, but I have my reasons. Mainly, I only really care about what Hockey fans think. I am looking at law schools in the Tampa area and I have a couple questions.

1.) Are there any men’s league around there that are relatively competitive?
2.) How expensive are Lightning tickets, and would T-Bay fans accept a Rangers convert?
3.) How’s the nightlife? I’m from the NYC area so its going to be an adjustment.
4.) Whats the Temp right now? Its like 31 here….
Hales- They have a Law center in Tampa, and the Main Law campus is in Gulfport is that closer? It looks it on a map, but i don’t know anything about that area…

“Who says Hockey need more scoring”?

Thursday, June 19th, 2008
Candy- Go Leafs Go! asked:


I totally agree… the game the last night, Leafs vs. Rangers, was AWESOME! I loved it! I don’t even care that the Leafs lost. It was a great game that I haven’t seen in a while! There was nothing wrong with it!

So my question is: Do you think hockey needs more scoring or do you think it’s fine how it is? Why?

Oh and please give thoughts on the game! (If you watched it)

Why do (some) american hockey fans **** the good looking logos?

Monday, June 16th, 2008
denstorestyggeulv asked:


i realise that there is a big different between what some hockey fans consider a good logo and what i do. even if i trey, i cant understand how someone could **** the Mighty Ducks, Penguins (90ers), Sharks, and Sabres (late 90ers) logos but on the other hand think that the Bruins, Rangers, Maple Leafs and the old Minnesota Northstars logos is cool. If you ask me they are really really borring. it seems to be the same with the NBA logos, people aparently **** the Pistons and Rockets logos from the 90ers and the Raptors, Hornets and Timberwolves logos. i can clerarly see why someone would love the Redwings, Blackhawks and the old Sabres logos… this is truely beautifull logos but the Maple Leafs and Bruins? why is logos with wild and beautifull animals considered ugly while a leaf with script, a B inside a circle or an N with a star is considered good looking. please tell me, because i dont understand it. Why is many simple and borring logos considered good looking?
actually i think the present Penguins logo is one of the best in the league, i just dont understand why some people **** the logo from the 90ers… if you ask me, both penguins logos is really good looking… and i dont just say that because i like the team… i like the leafs aswell.

And yes ofcouse it is the Hockey that matters but thats no excuse for looking terribly while you play. how would you feel if Lemieux and co. decided that the Penguins from the upcoming season should be renamed to the “Pingies” and play in pink… oh that would just be so cute… little baby penguins lol. thats almost as bad as an relocation, isnt it?
Ryan. Is that really the reason you like the old ones better? because the new logos have to many weird colours? you make it sounds like that you only love the Bruins and Leafs for that… because they are classics.

The Blackhawks and Redwings is classic teams aswell, but i actually think their logos is pretty good… so to me it dosnt really matter how old the logo is… whats matter is if the logo looks good or not… mayby i just like them better because they arent as borring and simple.
Plain ol Jeff. I actually happen to think that the best Sabres logo is their original… really cool logo. but the one from the 90ers was pretty cool aswell and surely alot better than the one they are using now… even Bruins, Rangers, Leafs, Thrashers, Blue Jackets and Ducks have better logos.
awesome bill. i am 23 years old and i am sorry if it sounds like i am putting all americans in a box. i dont want to… that was why i was writing “Why do (SOME) American hockey fans”.

And i just ask because i dont understand it. to me it sounds like SOME people just love them because they are classic… thats not how a logo should be judge. ofcouse i could be terribly wrong… i am just trying to find out what it is about this old logos. Is it just some kind of, all thing was better when I was child?
Corey B. I agree. The Blackhawks logo is amazing. i dont really like the Oilers and Predators third logo either. oh and dont forget the Flaming Horse Head (Flames) and the Green Bull Head (Stars). hoever they are still alot better than the curent Ducks and Sabres logos.
Greg. Well that is surely the most interesting answer. simple so kids can draw them? well i remember when i was a kid. i also loved to draw the logos. and i could draw the Mighty Ducks, Avalanche and Penguins (90ers) logos… but ofcouse i have always been good at that kind of stuff. to tell you the truth i dont really think that it is a very good reason to **** a sportsogo, because you arent good enough to draw it… but non or less it was still an pretty interesting opinion and i thanks you.

Itech Junior Goalie Mask-New York Rangers?

Friday, June 13th, 2008
Robert V asked:


Good evening,
I am reaching out to all the great people that have answered alot of hockey questions I have had over the last 6 months. Now that my son is moving forward with playing goalie, we are trying to find a 2007 Itech junior goalie mask.They did a pro series, and included a New York Rangers Mask. They do not offer this line any more, and seeking help in locating one that you guys might come across in your area. I am sure there are some out there, but my search so far has yielded nothing so far.I know this isn’t;t a question, but more than a reach out for help. So if any one has seen one of these, I would be greatly appreciated if you let me know where.

Thank you for your time !!
