  1. I wish hockey had all the great songs soccer clubs have. I'll post 2 of my faves:

    Over and Over

    O-ver and O-ver, we will follow you,

    O-ver and O-ver, we will see you through,

    We are Celtic supporters, faithful through and through,

    and over and over, we will follow you.

    If you go to Germany, you will see us there,

    France or Spain its all the same,

    We'll go any where,

    We'll be there to cheer you,

    as you travel round,

    you can take us anywhere, we won't let you down.

    Chorus

    If you go to Lisbon, we'll go once again,

    In Zaire you'll find us there calling out your name,

    when you need supporting, you will always know,

    we'll be right there with you, every where you go.

    Chorus

    You'll Never Walk Alone

    When you walk through a storm,

    Hold your head up high,

    And don't be afraid of the dark,

    At the end of a storm, there's a golden sky,

    And the sweet silver song of a lark.

    Walk on through the wind,

    Walk on through the rain,

    Though your dreams be tossed and blown

    Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,

    And you'll never walk alone,

    You'll never walk alone

    Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart,

    And you'll never walk alone,

    You'll never walk alone...

  2. Why concentrate so much on the North American market when it resists so much? There's a great interest in hockey in Eastern Europe and Scandinavia. The NHL has to figure a way to penetrate this market interest.

    There's a precedent. Look at football teams in Europe and the Asian market. Manchester United, Real Madrid, etc have all done tours that direction.

  3. That Hfboards Habs board is funny. Loads of breakaways and end to end action and they keep accusing the game of being boring and "hate to be a Devils fan." Man, what exactly do they want? I guess back in the good old days, the defensemen werent allowed to check and had they laces tied together :P

  4. The use of TV and newspapers to show the current events around the tournement was a great touch. It added alot of perspective to what was happening at the time. I was still waddling around being 5 years old at the time and really don't remember any of it :D

  5. Just came back from seeing it.

    Quick review:

    All in all, exactly what I expected. I always liked Kurt Russell and he really caried the movie on his shoulders. Great acting and can really convince you he's Herbie from his plaid pants to his body language. The team actors were solid, occasionally lapsing a bit but pretty convincing. Yea, there was tons and tons of "Rah-Rah USA USA!" but that was expected. All in all, an enjoyable movie.

    There were lots of younger folks there in the theater and they cheered after every goal. It made it seem like a real hockey game was going on. It was great ambience. Made it seem like watching an abridged real game!

  6. This is great.. take a guess.. he plays "The Russian Captain." :uni:

    ***** *******, who played briefly in the NHL with both New Jersey and Calgary, received an interesting cameo, as Mikhailov, the stern-looking Russian captain.

    Times up!

    Sasha Lakovic, who played briefly in the NHL with both New Jersey and Calgary, received an interesting cameo, as Mikhailov, the stern-looking Russian captain.

    "Wait'll you see him," said Walter, with a laugh. "Sasha looks so Russian, it's unbelievable. The funny thing was, our whole Russian team was former NHL tough guys. Todd Harkins had a big role. Big Mike McWilliam, he played a little too.

    "As for the kid who played Tretiak, he's a young lawyer in Vancouver, who plays hockey on the side. He pretty much gave up his practice for three months, so he could do this role and play his hero.

    Anyone else going to see this??

  7. Anyone see this interesting quote on ESPN?

    Last year, the Canadians defeated the Americans, 3-2, in the semifinals. In tournament history, Canada is 21-4-3 against the USA. The Americans haven't beaten the Canadians since Dec. 31, 1998. Led by Scott Gomez and Brian Gionta, the U.S. shocked Canada, 5-2, in Winnipeg. Goalie Roberto Luongo suffered the loss for Canada.
    :evil:
  8. NHL 2004 player here too. I was a bit disappointed though that it wasn't more realistic. I've been playing it regularly since NHL 98.

    Me, I took Fleury and Gaborik off waivers and traded for Comrie early on. I can kick butt on "Difficult" with these guys :)

  9. I am on the Avalanche bandwagon, they are fun to watch. Having Center Ice has proved one thing to me, the Devils are perhaps one of the most methodicle and calculated teams in the NHL. Some may call it boring but their machine like work is great. However, it's fun to watch a team play some wide open hockey like the Avs do. I find myself wishing the Devils did as well.

    I agree there with enjoying that type of offensive game. But I also get pleasure from watching the evil, machine-like Devs come to dismantle a team defensively. Watching big bad highly paid stars bang their sticks in fustration due to a perfectly execacuted 1-2-2 is beautiful. Now if only we were allowed to patent it so noone else could use it :evil:
