for those of you out there that like hockey. who is your favorite team, player, etc.?

 

[Kovy]

I must say, welcome to ADISC! As you can tell by my standing and username, I am a diehard fan of... well, you can guess what my favorite team and player are! (Thrashers, Ilya Kovalchuk.) You must join the Hockey Group, started by me. I'll send you an invite!

I attend about 10 games a year, and have some signed memorabilia including a goalie mask signed by both Kari Lehtonen and Johan "Moose" Hedberg, and a Kovalchuk jersey signed and addressed to me with "Best wishes" added by Kovy himself. Also, I wear a different jersey to games, but I also wear the mask, carry a flag, and more. I must watch as much hockey as humanly possible to survive.

I don't care for the NHL, though if the NHL put out a DVD of their best in game hockey fights then I'll surely buy that.

Funny you should say that, the Bruins happen to be my second-favorite team! (I actually like all Boston teams #1 in all sports but hockey. My dad grew up there and attended games. The only reason I love the Thrashers is because they introduced me to the sport, so to speak.) Colby is doing pretty well, but a big shock this year is Bryan Little, a second-year NHL player who leads the team in goals and is number 5 in the NHL (I think)! Nobody expected much from Little, who is, actually, only 5'10''. He's fun to watch, he scored a hat trick the other day.

yeah they have won more like 28. 9 straight so far.

kovalchuck, at least you are partially a boston fan. i was just wondering how colby was doing because his brother riley plays for the worcester sharks, san jose's affiliate. although he really isnt that great, and likes to talk a lot of crap but doesnt finish.

I'm new to Photoshop, but I made this. This is the original creation of my avatar before I slightly modified it. Also, Duck Waddell is here! I dislike GM Don Waddell, so I made this.

 

[diapermx]

[Kovy]

Definitely.

 

[diapermx]

who you routing for in that game? i would have to say the blackhawks because im not a big fan of detroit.

 

[mm3]

Haha, I know, I was messing with you .

My top 5?

1.) Rangers
2.) Red Wings
3.) Canadiens (Habs!)
4.) Flyers
5.) Thrashers

I also *despise* the Devils and the Islanders.

 

[diapermx]

i would have to say my favorite teams are
1. Boston
2. San Jose
3. Washington.

 

[Kovy]

My top 5:

The teams I truly love:
1) Thrashers
2) Bruins
The following teams I don't care much about, but still support.
3) Flames (The former Atlanta team)
4) Red Wings (Where Hossa, a former Thrasher, is now)
5) Anyone playing Washington!

 

[Tsendo]

I'm not one to follow hockey - but the Bruins are pretty nice this year :smile1:

 

[Kovy]

mm3: I used to despise the Rangers when they swept my team in their first-ever playoff appearance in 2007. But I really don't particularly dislike them anymore, although I still think your former player Sean Avery is an ass hole, they're a good team and they won fair and square.

I am a Vancouver Canucks fan for sure, though I will say I have found myself somewhat less interested since they switched from an explosive offensive style (under Crawford) led by the best line in hockey (Naslund-Morrison-Bertuzzi), to a somewhat boring defensive game under Vigneault. My favourite player remains Naslund even though he's older and no longer in Vancouver. I also love the Sedin twins. Ovechkin is pretty freaking awesome too (he's much more fun than Crosby in my opinion).

 

[Kovy]

My top 5?

1.) Rangers
2.) Red Wings
3.) Canadiens (Habs!)
4.) Flyers
5.) Thrashers

Yes, Isles suck. I hope we sweep the series with them this year.

My bottom 5:
5) Devils
4) Flyers
3) 3 way tie: Lightning, Panthers, Hurricanes
2) Capitals
1) Anyone playing the Thrashers.

Maple Leafs. I looooove the maple leafs! My second fav would probly be Dallas Stars

I'd like to start following hockey more...started to enjoy watching the Wild, but this season hasn't been good for them. Now it looks like they'll be losing their top scorer for good. Any suggestions for a new favorite team? Chicago Blackhawks look alright. I enjoyed their last game against the Red Wings. Detroit's fine, but I always go for the underdog--always the sweetest victory.
