For anyone who wonders if Crosby is the real thing, I have it from several sources, who have watched him since he was 14, that he is that darned good!

It's an exciting time to be a Penguins fan!

Hockey Ping!

[mattdono]

Hockey bump.

It will be interesting to see how the rule changes affect the game. I'm a little skeptical when they start tinkering with the game. But, "good hockey" is good hockey. The clutch-and-grab stuff can get a little boring. Hopefully, the rule changes will open the game up some.

I thought the NHL was dead to bad there was no stake thru its heart.

Oh! The good old hockey game, Is the best game you can name;
And the best game you can name, Is the good old Hockey game!

This is the best time of the year, football in full swing, baseball playoffs, now hockey is back.

YEA!!!!!!


HOCKEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bring IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got a beer eh?

I was upset when the NHL went on strike and I remained bitter throughout the past year. But now that the season is upon us.......I am looking forwar to the drop of the puck!

Caps and Pens tonight. The local Comcast is showing it. I hope it is in Hi-Def. Crosby and Ovechkin. I can't wait.

[WV Mountain Mama]

Go Penguins!!!! Our Canadian cousins say that Crosby is indeed the real deal, that is one area where I will default to their knowledge.

I hope OLN doesn't muck up the coverage like they did the outdoor motocross season this summer.

[Pharmer]

I hope your Penguano's enjoy Crosby.

But cross state we have the real TEAM deal with the Flyers! Last night the 2005 AHL Calder Cup champ Philly Phantoms in Flyers uniforms with the new Goon defence of Derian Hacher and Mike Rathje went toe to toe with the Jersey Devils! I can't wait to see Forseberg and Primeau join this bunch.

Ahh! Hockey is back!

[auboy]

Hockey bump from the deep south. I notice several games will be shown in HD. Can't wait!

[discostu]

Wow they're actually doing stuff to build the audience, I'm really starting to like the new contract, ESPN never seemed to even contemplate anything like this.

With many thanks to Hat Trick, here is the most current and up to date "Hockey Png List!"

Let me or Hat Trick know if you want off or on!

[Conservativehomeschoolmama]

As our young son would say...."Go Dallas Stars".....

Mom and dad would say..."Go Av's!"

[Yaelle]

Yay, hockey ping!!

[pepperhead]

Davidson’s chat with Mario Lemieux and Crosby will highlight Saturday’s telecast, which features pieces on Flyers goaltender Robert Esche experimenting with NBC’s “goalie cam” which will debut in January,

Goalie cam? Well as long as they don't bring back the glow puck I think I can live with that.

[Argh]

Ping to hockey stuff.

[davidtalker]

How about this! An NHL thread without the goofballs going, "Hockey what's that" or "bunch of goons on ice", or "I couldn't care less." You get my point.

Purely clinical predictions from a Stars fan.

Best teams in order

1)Calgary

2)Philly

3)San Jose

4)Ottawa

5)Boston

6)Nashville

7)Pittsburgh

8)Vancouver

9)Tampa Bay

10)Dallas

I watched this progam on NBC today. It was pretty good. If they do this on a regular basis, in addition to showing games, it will help draw in new fans, IMHO.
