I joined a friend last night who had an extra ticket to the AVS preseason game vs The Detroit Redwings. It was great to finally see the players back on the ice. On top of that it was an awesome game for the home fans, who I’ve learned real quick absolutely hate the Redwings. Down 1-0 at the end of the first They rallied to win it 2-1. Concluded teh game was a preview of the “shootout” which will now occur after a 5 min overtime if the game is still a tie. I must admit It was quite exciting and almost felt staged. Each team had three chances and by the time it got to the AVS last chance neither team had scored and it was up to hometeam hero Joe Sakic. Sure enough in elegant fashion he beat the detroit goaile on his right sight to capture the shootout victory.

It was a great time and I can’t wait to hit up a bunch more games, especially Dec 7 vs Bufffalo and I will not be rooting for the home team that night.

Congratulations Legends! Wohoo! We Held Off the Hockey Docs 6-2 Last night to clinch the Big Bear Low C Summer Championship!!!

Well I think I am finally getting over one of the weirdest colds I have had in a long time. I was able to sleep last night with out taking Nyquill or any other cold remedy. That is unless you count Breyers Reese Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream a cold remedy.

I am pretty excited to try out my new garder belt tonight. Sorry I had to say that, I know anyone with little to no hockey knowledge would probably have no idea what I’m talking about or just assume I’m weird, which i’m sure most of you already think. Anyway… Playoffs for us start tonight. We play the Stingers! Our previous meeting was the last game of the season and we came out on top 8-2 or something like that. But This is the playoffs and you can’t take anyone lately!

This one hit me out of Left Field NHL reaches cable deal with Comcast I’m half surprised ESPN didnt match It.

This Part Interests me too “The deal with Comcast goes beyond just television rights. Comcast will bring the NHL Network to cable systems in the United States, and provide on-demand game broadcasts and computer streaming of live games.”

How Come I feel Like I know all of these guys

New Logo Old Logo

That’s Right theNHL unveiled a new logo The changes are very moderate but I like it. I did Like The orange but rationalizing the silver to resemble the stanley cup is good enough for me. Oh and they realeased the ’05-’06 schedule. I gotta figure out when the sabres come to town.

# Goalies will be limited in the size of equipment they can wear. Pads, gloves and blockers cannot exceed a specified length or width.

# The elimination of the two-line pass, like international hockey.

# A new overtime format featuring a shootout if the game is still tied after four-on-four hockey for five minutes and three-on-three hockey for another three.

# Goal lines will be moved back two feet and blue-lines will be two feet wider, creating a bigger offensive zone.

# Touch icing, which has caused many injuries to NHL defencemen over the years, is eliminated. Players only have to cross the icing line with his skate or stick to win the race for the puck.

# The old tag-up offside rule is back. Players can leave the offensive zone to nullify a delayed offside call. Before, the play was instantly called dead.

# Stricter fines for diving and criticizing officials. A delay-of-game penalty will be called on any player who shoots the puck into the stands from his defensive zone.

# A zero tolerance approach to obstruction and interference

I couldn’t have said this any better!
