chrismada9 1,948 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Are there any people here that know about, or are a big fan of Ice Hockey? I've been playing the NHL12 demo tonight, and I'm slowly beginning to get into the sport because there are a lot of Swedish people that play it!I've been doing some research on the different NHL teams as well! I don't know if this is right or not, but apparently the Vancouver Canucks are supposed to be the most successful NHL club at the moment, with two identical Swedish twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin as their star players!Anyone else know anything of the sport, and do you follow a certain team?? Would love to know more about the sport, and the specific rules of play as well because it can get very confusing sometimes! Here's a few highlights from yesterday's matches... And here's a video showing highlights of the Olympic Final in 2002 between Canada and USA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusek 2,031 Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Finally a hockey thread! I'm a huge hockey fan and especially a NHL fan. My favourite team is Detroit Red Wings. Btw, don't forget that Finland is the most recent world champion of hockey and they beat Sweden 6-1 in the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 I thought I'd bump this because I know Jusek is a huge hockey fan, and I for one, am determined to get this thread going like the Cricket thread at the moment, seeing as I am still getting to grips with the NHL season as I've been casually looking at the NHL website on news regarding regular matches!! And I'm growing a real interest in the Canucks because of the Sedin brothersIs there anyone else on this forum who has an interest, (albeit a dim one, but every slight interest counts) in the sport? Here's a nice little compilation of the Sedin brothers! I have to say, they look pretty damn good as a pairing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jusek 2,031 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 And I'm growing a real interest in the Canucks because of the Sedin brothersThose guys just have a creepy good connection on ice. I don't like 'em but they can play very entertaining hockey together and make some sick plays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 I wouldn't call myself a "usual fan", I'm more of an expert (I'm arrogant, I know). Just 2h 15 till Colorado starts playing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 We're looking likely to repeat I don't think so, mate. There are teams that are more likely to win the SC this season than Boston. San Jose, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amblève. 4,995 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I, personally, never said that the Nucks will bring the Cup to Vancouver because I hate them From the standpoint of a die-hard Colorado Avalanche fan I want us to win it but realistically seen it will be one of those long time contending teams, such as the Sharks.
