I can\'t believe hockey hasn\'t been discussed in here since september! Piss poor!
Anyways, I have to vent on the Blackhawks. What the hell has happened? They win the cup last year, have a whole musical chairs done in the off season, and now we are left with a team that can\'t gel on the ice.... that can\'t win games. Its honestly just plain old sad and pathetic.
I know there are a lot stat nerds out there, and I am sort of curious how the winning team has fared the next year. Right now, Chicago is 26-20. Not what you\'d expect for the defending stanley cup champs. Because most of their games wins and losses have been sloppy.
My 2nd team Rangers seem to be having a decent season. I tend to see more Rangers games than Hawks games just because of the MSG network. I will also add, pretty impressed with the marketing by the NHL this year. Between all the hype on HBO with 24/7 (which i absolutely loved) and the actual winter classic, to supreme coverage on VS, I almost feel like NHL is making a big comeback.
On a side note, locally speaking, if anyone wants a cheap fun nostalgic time, I really suggest going to a CT Whale game. Went in the beginning of this month, and I had a complete blast.
