MUDRUNNER Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 You should have a blast!You better leave a little early because we have about 8" of snow.Hockey's a lot different seeing it in person than seeing it on t.v.You really get a feel for the speed of the game.I wish we were going tonight I would meet up with you.Should be a great game,but the Blues have been struggling lately.It will probably be close to a sell out,so the atmosphere should be awesome!

craig mack Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Wait, your from the Detroit area and you never been to a Red Wings game? Dude:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I've never met a person who's seen a hockey game for the first time and not had a blast. Expect to be impress with the speed of the game, and mulitple scoring chances. Whole different world from watching it on TV. You'll dig it.

SuperMn106 Posted February 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Wait, your from the Detroit area and you never been to a Red Wings game? Dude:D Yeah i know. I have always wanted to go. I was hoping my girlfriends friend (who we got the tickets from) had tickets to a Blues - Red Wings game but she keeps them ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Andrea Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hockey is awesome. We have a minor league here and they aren't great but it sure is fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I have not updated lately, been busy ever since we got back. I loved it. I am impressed with the speed of the game. It had me on the edge of my seat at all times. I will try to post some pictures either tonight or tommorow in the photo room. I definitly want to go to another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun_300 Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hockey games are aweseome, it's real big up here! I go to the Ottawa Senators games a few times a year. What to expect? $10 for parking a mile away from the building with an hour wait to get out afterwards, $11 for a beer, $5.00 for a slice of pizza, $5.00 for a pop..... it's expensive! Sure is a fun night out though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Boy, I'd love to go, but I've got a prior commitment. THANKS for the invite though...............ya DB. Maybe I should have invited myself along...... I believe I read someone posting something to the effect of "I'd rather watch paint dry" when we were talking about the NHL all star game a couple of weeks ago. That wouldn't be you, would it?

Guest spurcollector Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 I love hockey. It's hard to believe that from a southern boy. But once I saw my first game live, I was hooked. I love the Hurricanes. I go see them a few times a year. We used to have a farm team here, and my wife and I were season ticket holders. They moved away, and man I miss them.

Tominator Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Jackets lose in overtime tonight. Freakin' Ovechkin Nash had a sweet breakaway. 5 on 3 shorthanded! Right in front of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckbuster11 Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ovechkin is having some kind of year. MVP I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ovechkin is having some kind of year. MVP I think. He was a non-issue in the first period, and half of the second, but turned it on in the third. Watching Nash and Ovechkin side by side was a treat, but to be honest, Nash is a better player IMHO.

As much as I hate to say it, not to many guys dominate a game like Ovechkin. Nash isn't on his level in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggs Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hmmm...I guess if I was starting a team tomorrow, Olvechkin would be very, very tough to pass up. But I like what Nasher's size would bring to the power play. When he's on the ice, Nash has the puck more than any player I've seen since Forsberg. Some guys just have that knack. But Olvechkin's as pure of a scorer as they come, right now he's top 3 in the league. Nash doesn't get the credit he deserves but still, I'd have to go with Olvechkin too.

Tominator Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Can't believe I'm going to say this, but maybe you're right. I haven't watched too much hockey this year for various reasons, but I can tell you last night, Nash was the better player. You can tell Nash learned a thing or two from watching Jagr. Nash has a lot of similarities namely throwing that 200lb. frame against guys and leveraging them. He came oh so close to a hat trick last night by doing that. BTW--have to give props to Don McCreary for taking out one of the Caps' defenseman so Nash could score his second goal. That was hilarious. He made up for it with a lousy call later though.
