There's not enough hockey fans on this forum. Seems like Soccer is the thing here. Anyways, hockey is about the drama now - all the bogus trades, players not wanting to waive the no-trading clause, and what not. Wow. I've always been a fan of Detroit but when they fouled up the finals, I laughed. More so at Hossa than Detroit though.
Team I really want to see make a run for the cup would definitely be Tampa Bay. I know they really butchered it for the longest time but it seems like they're building up a solid defense which could give them a decent shot. I don't want Chicago to hit the playoffs though. Again, never did like Hossa.
detroit since the last 20years, fav player ofc nick, theyl grab the cup this year, last year the injuries stopped em..
The Toronto Maple Leafs are my favourite team. Heh. I know. They have the worst record in the league at the moment, but they'll turn it around. Enough to make the playoffs? Probably not. But I don't think they'll finish last either.
My favourite player? Geez. I liked Grant Fuhr a lot while I was growing up. I ended up playing as a goalie for a few years in Rep. I started too late, though. Unless you're supremely gifted you need to begin playing the game at six or so. I started when I was Thirteen. Way too late.
Anyways, I'll try to name a current favourite player. It's actually not a goalie or a leaf! surprise, surprise. Anze Kopitar from the Los Angeles Kings is my current favourite player. I love the way he plays the game. A true talent and he's having a great start! second overall in points. I believe he's only one point behind Alexander Ovechkin.
And lastly, who do I think will win the Stanley Cup?
That's tough to say this early in the season considering the teams that are doing so well (namely Colorado). I think the New York Rangers have a really good shot to make a run for it. I definitely think an Eastern Conference team will win it this year.
Detroit Red Wings have always been my favourite team. One main reason, when I started playing ice-hockey in Australia, I really liked the colour red, and guess who is dominated by the colour red? :P
My second favourite team will have to be Toronto maple leafs, I'm not sure why but I just like them for some reason.
My favourite player is Pavel Datsyuk, mainly because he is such a good forward and his goals are just so great! Another Good player would have to be Martin St.Louise, just because he is such a good player, and his knocks people on their holes and weaves in and out of peoples legs because hes so small compared to the majority of players.
I think that Detroit Red Wings will win the Stanley cup, obviously because they are my favourite team, and I think they are more than capable of achieving it.
I started playing hockey when I was 9, in Australia. I played Ice-hockey for about 5 years at first and then I also started to play inline-hockey, which is actually really fun. So I played both inline and ice-hockey for another two years, but then I quit them both to concentrate on my study. I plan to continue on playing inline hockey only next year. Although, I do prefer ice way more, I'm currently incapable of supporting myself financially to play ice-hockey as it is a very expensive sport in Australia.
I also represented Western Australia 6 time in Ice-hockey and twice in Inline, and also made the Australia squad for inline, but I broke my clavicle bone.
Heh, I love hockey anyway! GO RED WINGS!! :D
