NHL

I want LA, they had no clue about hockey there, and the cab driver didn't even know where the hockey arena was.
What a shame !

If they have no clue about hockey in LA how/why did the best player ever to lace 'em up finish his career there?

 

[klein]

If your talking about #99, he went on to St Louis, and then NY Rangers to finish his career. Played among his former Oilers team mate "the Moose", in NY, too.

I'm talking about Gretzky.

I'm talking about Gretzky.

Then you should know better than anyone else (comming from NY State), that he played his last NHL game with the NY Rangers ! And he is #99 !
No other NHL player can ever use that number, ever again.
It's been retired by the NHL league.

New York and New Jersey.
Should be interesting.

My Flyers got flamed by them after going toe-to-toe with Pittsburg.

I am hard pressed to cheer for either.

Sorry the Kings are dialed in. They will get the cup!

Did you know it takes 14 bottles of Molson to fill up that cup ?

15 May 1926, on this day The New York Rangers became the newest franchise to be awarded
by the National Hockey League.

Two years later, the Rangers won their first Stanley Cup.

Off topic a bit :

Hockey Worldcup in Finnland news :

Canada clinched first in their group as they won over Belarus 5:1 today.


Ovechkin and Semin have agreed to join Team Russia at the World Championship.
Do you think this will impact Team Canada's chances at Gold?

GO DEVILS....

Crap happens !

Upset in Helsinki - Slovakia eliminates Team Canada 4-3 in the Quarter Final of the IIHF World Championship.

GO KINGS GO!

The 1988 Oilers' 12 - 2 playoff record is in jeopardy! The Kings are now 11 - 1, not too bad for the #8 seed.

Incredible architecture.

And our new Royal Museum will be built just blocks away.

An artist's rendering shows what the new Royal Alberta Museum could look like. The venue will be 36,000 square metres - double the size of the current facility.

Well, the USA also lost in the quarter finals at the Worlds 3:2 and are out. No North American showdown this year around

 

[tonyexpress]

At least the "Cup" will stay warm this season in L.A. Go Kings Go!

It would be great if we had one of those to sweep back and forth over the border every minute or so.

Next year, Edmonton will be on that map ! (about 400 miles north of Montana - if you can point out Montana - heard most Americans don't know their own map).
