    I always like hearing the stories of old time hockey. The culture has changed quite a bit, but you'll still run into guys in beer league that can put them away like it's the 70s.

     

     

    Thanks for posting. Good stuff. 

    I keep in touch with several guys that played for the Dallas Black Hawks at the ol Fair Park. Gonna share this one. I miss old time hockey.

  2. Oddly enough, those uniforms didn't look bad in person (from a distance) but looked horrendous on the fans wearing them. 

    I'm old school. Have a home sweater and an away sweater......get back to normal numbers (2-7 on defenseman, 8-19 on forwards, 1 and 30 on keepers) and play the damned game. (I know, so many retired numbers.......but how many 57's and 82's and 49's does Detroit need? Are you playing right wing or right tackle?)

    Those guys lived a pretty miserable existence in the bubble without friends or family for months and brought us all a ton of sports joy in a miserable year.  

    I know what you're saying and it looks 'miserable' on the outside.....but when you're on a hockey team with great chemistry and making a run at the Cup, your teammates are your friends and family. These guys are going to look back at this years from now and remember it as one of the highlights (and lowlights) of their life.  

    When you're on a hockey team with a great group of guys, you carry that the rest of your life. 

    As Fred Shero once said 'Win today, we walk together forever.' Even with a loss, these Dallas players will have a bond from here on out. 

    This was a great run.

    Old barn had some of the best ice in the league. 

    No kidding. If you're referring to Northlands, great sheet. 

    Speaking of great ice....believe it or not...the old Fair Park Coliseum in the mid-90's. Like glass. Worst ice? Waco Heart a Texas Barn. Jesus.

    Stamkos played 2:30 tonight. He’s not “back.”

    Tampa is fucking loaded. They won 62 games last year and added some nastiness for this year. This has been the best team in the NHL the last two seasons. We probably aren’t still playing without the bubble environment. We’ve relied on grit and want-to — that wasn’t there tonight. We better find it quick or this thing is over by Saturday’s 10PM news.

     

    Stamkos may not be 'back' but it's pretty impressive to pick up a geno in - what? - 2? 3 shifts? In comparison, Seguin had 21 minutes of ice time - more than Oettinger - and came away with a whopping 3 shots. That Tampa locker room is rocking having him back. 

    I think Dallas is done. Tampa is the better team.
