Boston Bruins!!!

My hockey connection - I played hockey in high school and college and had try out for the 88 US Olympic Team. I got injured two weeks before the tryout and never made it. After that I felt the window shut on my thoughts of a hockey career lol. I was also offered a contract with a canadian junior team in the western hockey league called The Kamloops Blazers after high school lol, I think they were in British Columbia or Saskatchewan Canada. I turned that down to go to college. In high school my freshman year we lost the state championship to another team called Acton/Boxboro that had Tom Barasso(Stanley Cup winner Pitt Penguins 90 & 91) as their goalie and a couple of other guys that went to the NHL, I was also a goalie. I decided to give up the road to the NHL and focused on computers in college and made that my career. I actually know Bob Sweeney formerly of the Bruins in the 90's he was on that high school team that beat us with Barasso and later moved to Charlestown where I grew up. Jack O'Callahan from the 80 US Olympic team is also from Charlestown, while a little older than me, I also know him and his family. We used to all play street hockey when I was a kid together in town and skate all the time at the local MDC rink in town.

Funny fact too is my wife knows Terry O'Reilly former coach/player from the Bruins, she was a big bruins fan growing up too and he actually used to go to all her birthday parties when she was growing up. A guy I work with plays pickup hockey a couple of times a month currently with the Bruins alumni (mostly old timers from the 70's/80's having a fun skate/game). I actually saw Bobby Orr play in a game at the old Boston Garden lol, I was about 6. I have also met Ray Bourque numerous times and have two autographed jersey's by him. One is pretty weird too, a special jersey put put by CCM when he won the cup with the Avalanche, it is literally half a bruins, half an Avalanche jersey sewn together into one jersey. A pretty unique collectors item, even have a picture of him signing it lol.

But alas my hockey blood has been replaced in the last 15 years by football blood lol. I pretty much stopped watching caring about hockey after Cam Kneely/Ray Bourque retired. I can even remember the 90 Patriots going 1-15 lol. But in '93 once the Pats signed Parcells to be the coach I converted to football and gave up on hockey.

hockey is a great sport..i used to follow it until the strike and then it just kinda started back up and I sort of lost interest since its not on espn much anymore. anyway sorry raptor but i hate the bruins, along with all other massachusett area teams ..they beat out the rangers like 3 straight years for the 7-8th seeds for the playoffs..but anyway hockey is a great sport to play!

Hockey pwns other sports. Live in person hockey is the greatest, the tv doesn't do the sport justice. I love Football too, but the place to watch that is on a bigscreen HD television (you see more of the game than in person, where you don't see shit).

I have played hockey all my life since I was 5 including youth, High School and Juniors. I now play twice a week in a pretty competitive adult league.

btw, the Wild are still unbeaten in non-overtime games this season so far. 7-0-1. They lost one overtime shoot-out.

LOL. love ya zig, but your wrong on this one in my book. I love Football, don't get me wrong, I watch it religiously, but Hockey is so fun to play

im never went any higher than a recreational in-house roller hockey league and intramurals at the school but its always fun to play in the street too..great sport but baseball pwns all..so does football with the friends. but watching hockey live with like 1st row seats is amazing you get the feel of the ice and hear the hits on the boards. its great

So true it's not even funny. There's nothing like watching someone make a goal, watching the fans go crazy and having your ears blown out by the foghorn. And don't even get me started when there's a fight! As soon as the gloves and helmets come off, the arena goes crazy! Such an awesome, high energy atmosphere.

and not to mention its indoors so you cant get rained on

I like sitting higher up in the second level, right at center ice. That way you can see both ends of the ice and watch the entire game unfold.

that works too..probably the only place where the upper deck is still worth something althought the upper deck at football games arent bad either.

yes i love hockey... detroit red wings

why isnt the puck like bright yellow or green so ppl can actually see it that watch.hard as hell to follow hockey unless your there.

nah its not that hard, for the most part the camera guy stays centered on it and when its not just watch which way the people are skating. guess i watch so much of it im use to it. they should come up with a yellow dot like the first yard line.

Tennis>Hockey

haha for some reason tennis is insane to watch..ive never watched good tennis live but you can hear them grunting over the t.v. during their insane volies
