Did I just hear Danny Gallivan say "Savard with the spinorama!"<br /><br />The lockout didn't hurt, the hockey is better since the rule have been enforced. Skill players need to shine.<br /><br />KVA and I may wax poetic about the Forum, Maple Leaf Gardens, etc., but the NHL realizes in today's video-addicted culture, the big buildings with the pyro, video screens and fan features are the way to go. Remember, many of these buildings are used for more than just hockey.<br /><br />Went to a Blues game last year from ice level and it was a blast, there is nothing like live hockey and the game doesn't translate well on TV for the casual fan.<br /><br />Too many teams? Of course! Still, I love my DirecTV and when the Thrashers are playing the Lightning I might take a quick look. The problem is that the rivalries aren't as fierce.Rodney Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388759978034560219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15420186.post-23838745421237894412010-01-26T10:50:27.411-06:002010-01-26T10:50:27.411-06:00I'm not sure if it's legal to be both a Bl...I'm not sure if it's legal to be both a Blues and a Wings fan...we'll have to get a ruling on that one. Maybe you'll be able to sneak in on the Scotty Bowman clause. <br />The Blues will bounce back and STL is still a great hockey town. Question I have for the interwebs: Which, if any, did more damage to the NHL: The loss of older, more character filled buildings, rapid expansion into unorthodox markets, or the lockout?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15420186.post-72645244493082949322010-01-26T07:28:40.192-06:002010-01-26T07:28:40.192-06:00Dan Kelly:

Bobby Orrrrrr!!, The Bruins win the cup!"<br /><br />and from one of the greatest games ever played... 1987 Canada Cup game 3:<br /><br />"and now here is a two on one, Lemieux to Gretzky, he has Murphy with him, to Lemieux, he shoots, he scores!"<br /><br />Can't get any better than that. Just can't. I should be working, but I think I will youtube those on the company's dime, just for the heck of it.<br /><br />K in TOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
