Man, I hate this.  Quarantine would have been easier if we could watch hockey.

I agree.  Over the weekend, the admiral switched the TV over to a Hockey game, and for a split second, my mind switched and looked at the TV (I was doing Legos with my daughter).  She started laughing!  I then thought, oh man that was a mean trick!

Growing up in the south we never had spontaneous ice hockey games break out, we did have our share of street hockey games.  

Sadly my kid doesn't have my natural skating ability or we'd be making good use of all the empty retail parking lots.  I have 2 or 3 hockey goals.

So over the weekend I watched the Caps game 5 win for the cup again and it was just as exciting! Also watched the most devastating game 7 loss in Bruins history for the cup. Chokes.  Bahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha

LaRea

I just might be getting desperate enough to re-watch a game.  Last week we watched the end of Caps v. Penguins.

Talk about a training camp in June with a July start up. 

LaRea

That would be great!  Gonna make for some messy ice sheets when they are trying to play in late august, but I'll take it!

talk about exciting = how bout that blues game ...................   

LaRea

Well, alright then.  Who's ready for some hockey?  This restart will be interesting.

PickleRick

1st scrimage and crosby leaves the ice early.  

Dream_Inn

It definitely will be interesting.  It'll be a bit strange in August seeing hockey!

PickleRick

I cant wait.  The last of the major sports ill watch.  Im tired of all my favourite sports becoming polictical platforms.  Sports are about competition and tradition, not politcics.

Also I hate philly and the caps😝

I agree Rick, I don't watch any other professional sports.  I do love college football but if they start paying them, I'll stop that too.

I like the anchor logo for the new Seattle Kraken team.

Are they sponsored by the rum company? 🙄

I thought of the rum also!! LoL

The Seattle Karen?  Sorry, had to say it and now I'm done.  Congrats to Seattle hockey fans!  That is 100% awesome!  

PickleRick

Ron Francis is helping to build that team i believe.  He had a huge hand in some successful Carolina hurricane teams.

Willhound

A good old Sault Ste. Marie boy!

Francis is one of the most underrated players of all time.

Agree. Never a flash player, but dependable and steady. Looking at his stats he's listed as second all time on assists behind Gretzky and 5th overall in points. Not a high goal scorer (but got his share) but an all around "team player" which is why he'll make a good GM.

PickleRick

I thought he did well in Raleigh.  They really built up a hockey town in the south.  It all starts with the youth hockey support.  When our ahl team stopped with all the support no one cared about it.  You put the local team logo on the rink and jerseys of the kids and you develop life long fans.

Being a Boston Bruins fan Ron Francis was one of the most respected players around here. We knew how good he was. Of course we saw him quite a bit when he was in Hartford. Great player for sure.

Let's Go Caps!  I know that game didn't mean anything for the playoffs, but it meant a lot to me as a fan.  Let's get on with it!

I watched a little of the PIT-PHI game.  That's tough for me to watch, because I know it will result in a win for one of them.  

PickleRick

Pens played like crap

LaRea

The Caps were rusty too.  The power play looked awful, and both teams were dragging in the third period.
