:bigsmile: Whoo Hoo my son finally got a chance to prove himself on his new team. He's always been center and for some reason this new team has had him playing a winger, coach asked him Sat. if he's ever played center and he replied "actually I've never played any other position" so coach let him play center on Sat and he won every face off and got more ice time.....soooo on Sun he let him do it again and this time he got a GOAL!. No this isn't his first goal ever (he used to be a lead scorer) but for this team it's a huge accomplishment. He is only 12 and won't turn 13 until April, everyone else on the team is 14 or about to turn 14 and he has been low man on the roster. If they had just been playing him as center the past few games he could have proven himself sooner.
Ok Proud Momma rant over :bigsmile:0 -
That's awesome. The best part is that you taught him patience. It's a team sport and it's important to contribute wherever you are playing. The best part is that your son got experience playing wing. As he moves up through the ranks and levels, he will be able to say he can play any forward position with confidence. It was a win/win. Good for him!0

Great topic!
Another nice win last night for my Flyers :bigsmile:
Their new look team looks great so far (how many times have I said that before... won't get too excited yet). Read, Couturier, Simmonds, and Bryzgalov have all contributed in huge ways and Giroux is on pace to have a monster year now that he is the main show in town. It's only a matter of time before Jagr starts netting some goals of his own, and the chemistry between them will only get better. I have to admit it still is weird to see Jagr donning the orange and black, but I like the move overall. Now if only they could find a willing team to offload Hartnell and his outrageous contract to and bring Schenn up from the Phantoms (who is tearing up the AHL again).
I don't have enough time to watch as many games as I would like (apart from my local Flyers games), so I didn't splurge for the Center Ice package this year... will just have to watch the few national games I can get on VS and NHLNET.

You got your wish with Schenn!!! I'm local to Philly too but I'm a Penguins fan! I still root for the Flyers though. Kinda weird. Some current and former players coach at the organization my son plays for. I love the changes the Flyers made. I'm into the Kings and the Caps as well and I like Detroit because I love hearing what Babcock says. Just love the game!0 -
Can't wait to see him in action with the big boys tonight. Should be a great game against the Caps.0

It weirds me out to see Jagr in orange & black...it just seems wrong somehow, LOL! But I don't get to any games until after the new year when they start televising them on NBC. I don't have cable; but even if I did, the only games I'd see would be Shark games :sick: I've been to a few games in San Jose though, always sporting my Mikael Renberg jersey...and my mom still has the posters up in my room of the Legion of Doom from back in the day, LOL! I think I need to bring those out here!0 -

It might not be the popular opinion in Pittsburgh, but I am glad Jagr went elsewhere. I never liked him as a Penguin.0 -

I wish him the best but I felt the same way!!0 -
LET'S GO CANES!!!
A little bit of a rough start, but now they have won three in a row! GO CANES!
I live in Winston Salem, nicely halfway between Raleigh and Charlotte, so I follow the Canes, and thier minor league team the Charlotte Checkers..
There is "the season" and the "off-season" but it's always HOCKEY SEASON!0 -
What are your thoughts on what happened in the Tampa/Flyers game tonight? I was watching the Senators game so I wasn't following it, but they showed clips during the intermission and it was insane. I didn't know whether to laugh or shake my head.0
-
I'm happy to have come across other hockey fans - love my Red Wings & I'm sooooooooo happy they are back on track and Franzen is scoring in bunches again! Yay!!
GO WINGS!!!0 -

pretty silly "protest" imo teams have been using unpopular tactics forever. you just need to find a way through it.0 -

I am so glad I found some other hockey fans here. I am a HUGE PREDS fan. Profile Pic is none other than Pekka Rinne. He is amazing. That was taken in Phoenix on his birthday, the day he was signed to the 7yr 7mil deal. Who is your favorite team?0

Hawks are facing off against the Canucks again tonight. Another rematch of lasts years epic playoff series! Haha.
The Hawks got obliterated last matchup, hopefully they can pull out a win this time.
Huge Hawk fan.0 -
I have to say I am rooting for the Nucks tonight. That loss will help my Preds in the standings.

I'm wondering if it is possible for the Leafs to have any more injuries. Currently we are missing:
Reimer aka Optimus Reim, our starting Goalie (4-0-1)
Connolly (first line center)
Grabovski (second line center)
MacArthur (second line)
Armstrong (third line center)
Apparently we are dressing 7 defense tonight since they are the only ones who are healthy... YIKES!!!0
