re: MSB Season Long Hockey Thread

Jesus that was long as hell.

It's a shame too really, if I had to pick a second favorite team it would be the Flames probably, over the Lightning.

Calgary is beautiful, went on a trip there for a week about 2 years ago now. Stayed downtown a few nights, went to a Flames game, and stayed at a lodge in the Rocky Mountains the last 2 days, hiked some trails, canoed, god, that was one helluva a time and just a beautiful place. Friendly and helpful people too, and some pretty nice women although they seemed pretty stuck up for the most part.

Alright, :csb: aside, it's Game Day.

I am PUMPED for the game tonight, it's on NBCSports for anyone wanting to watch.

So intrigued to see how we do without Sid in the lineup, but even more importantly, how the first line of Neal-Malkin-Iginla do with a game under their belt and a couple practices under their belt now that they're the main line while Sid is out.

Malkin has always stepped up majorly, and Neal, when Sid has been hurt. Letang is skating again and will be back possibly this weekend from his broken toe.

I think this Sidney injury is a blessing in disguise in a way. Neal, Malkin, Iginla, Morrow have to all step up now, the Captain is down and these guys will all rally together and push on, the veteran leadership, the former captains, the hunger for a Cup, this team is going to improve greatly on and off the ice together while Sid is down, and when he's back in time of the playoffs, yessir.
