Ah, you gotta love it. Someone from Arizona getting worked up over Hockey. I thought it was just use north of the Border, where all newborns leave the Hospital with a miniature Hockey Stick and Puck!

I love me some hockey! Played well into my 20's. Would love to find a men's league in my area!

Hockey in the desert! I try to hit up half the home games here. I'm envious of anyone who can go in their back yards during the winter and start up a game.

Well didn't Wayne Gretzky have a home in Arizona? I believe had a small indoor Rink made for his kids when they were younger. He was our Home Town Boy. His Dad still lives in the same house and street.

Yeah he was even a part of the coyotes organization at one point.

Well the one dream he wanted he never got to do, play for the Leafs.

Time to get the FOOTBALL going, weekends are getting boring. YeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaa! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!

 

[Chris Adams]

oh man how can you change who you root for ha ha. Just busting on you all good.
Oh man I could never root for anyone but the Bruins
Although once they get knocked out of playoffs I will choose a team to watch. Kind of wanted to see Ovechkin to win it last year. He really seemed to mature and take on a team mentality more and he looked better than ever.

PS I am still thankful to Colorado for getting Ray Bourque on the cup where he belonged.

Does that mean you are "Yotes" fan now? Been to Glendale many times. Westgate Center is awesome... Couple of years ago we went to preseason opening day for the Dodgers/White Sox game a mile away in Peoria. Another beautiful ballpark. Baseball in the day, Hockey at night and an Irish Bar next door. Was a good day...

 

[skim]

Oh no, here we go!

 

[cromag27 Verified Sponsor]

Lol....... yeah I like rooting for the home team. except football, I'm originally from Seattle so I'm still a hawks fan. yes, even when they sucked for so long!

Yeah I hit ups a few dozen yotes games a season. westgate is nice but it's a horrible location for the team. they will be relocated in a couple seasons.

 

[ndrwater]

Sorry about the Kessel thing there @skim

 

[ndrwater]

I agree, Glendale is too far from..... Well..... Just about anything. I look forward to them playing in Phoenix. Easier to get to for weekend games when the Ducks are in town.

The rumor is Scottsdale, but they haven't made it public yet. they've just said a deal has been made for the location.

 

[ndrwater]

Scottsdale works too. New building? If so, couple of years out methinks.
