Yeah, I've been to a few Grizz games and all I can say is...meh. I think it's the fact that there's so few people that go, the stands are more than half empty and you just don't get the excitement flowing. I think I might like it more now that I'm understanding the game a little it better. Speaking of - we watched the end of the Caps/Penguins game last night. AWESOME. I think I've jumped on the Caps bandwagon for the playoffs...Ovechkin is just amazing.

So all of this hockey excitement has got my husband back in to playing again! He's been picking up used equipment and is probably going to start playing drop-in games this summer. I think he's convinced me to learn how to play too, and I'm getting more and more excited about it. It would be awesome to have an indoor sport to play in the summer when it's like 100 degrees outside. Now I just need to learn how to skate.....

I was laughging reading your comments b/c my hubby too started playing again. He's now on TWO leagues. Plus he found that a bunch a girls are starting up a girl league and he's had me at public skate teaching me crossovers and other techniques. :ROTF:

Hmmm, that's too bad. The minor league games around here are a blast (well, the few I've been to). College, even better.

And yes, I am on that bandwagon, too. Ovie is a joy to watch.

I'm a long-suffering Caps fan. It even says so on my resume (and came up in two job interviews a while ago, one with a guy who played at Providence with the former Caps coach!). :becky:

OK ladies, who has been watching the finals? What a great series. Can't wait for Saturday to see what happens when they get back to Detroit, since it seems like the Penguins finally have their mojo working again. I'm surrounded by Pitt fans in my household right now, so GO PENGUINS!

Sad faces here in Motown, but I guess it was the Peguins' turn since we had the Cup last year. See, we're nice--we share. :smile:

So, is anyone watching the "Battle of the Blades"?

CBC has produced a reality show starring world reknown figure skater ladies with hockey stars!! They do a pairs type performance and are judged by a celebrity judge, and 2 well known Canadian figure skating icons.

So as of tonight its down to 4 couples. 1 goes home Monday night, but the charity they are skating for gets good money.

So for those who are watching who's going home?

And you gotta hate the Leaf's right now! They can't buy a win!
