Nice, love the classic sweaters.  They seem to be more prevalent in hockey than any other sport, just another cool quirk of hockey fans.  I would have bought a Bourque sweater back in the day if I had any money, but his tenure with the team was when I was age -1 through 20!

They still sell old Bourque ones at the garden.

I feel bad for anyone wearing Bruins gear, period.  

Haha, I go to 2 or 3 B\'s games a year just on principle, but they have a long way to go for me to buy merchandise!

This coming from Mr. Boston fan?

I get "looks" wearing my sweaters (Bourque, Bergeron, Thomas) around. However, I dare you to find a crowd of 100 people in the greater boston area none of whom are wearing any type of merchandise from the red sox or the patriots.

I hope you could tell that I was joking.  Seriously, I actually gotta give props to anyone wearing B\'s gear...you know they\'re a good fan of the Bruins if they have any gear.  Red Sox and Patriots and now Celtics gear is sooooo trendy.  That\'s what happens when a team is really good.  Bruins gear is just like Breakfast gear: you don\'t have to have any to be a fan, but if you do have any and proudly wear it, then you are definitely a fan.

My Ray Bourque Sweater would like to have a word with you

The Bourque Jersey was a gift from the best gal ever! (I wore 77 in HS Football tho, I can\'t skate at all)

I would like an old school Orr sweater, and then maybe a Paul Coffey as well but I would have to figure out witch team. :)

I found the scout sweater in a little thrift shop in Lawrence, KS while visitin my brother at KU over 10 years ago.  As a Devils fan, that was the find of a lifetime.

As a KC fan, I need to get one.

Are you from the area or are you just a KC fan?  I only ask because it\'s rare that people my age and your age know of the Scouts and especially a person from New England?

Yuppers.  It was on Wooster Street the night before...and then traveled to the QU Ice Rink and then to the Hamden High Rink.  With a stop inbetween at the Glenwood so the guy could get a hot dog.... no lie...

Not sure exactly why.  Mark was on a road job, called me up, and said, Quick come with your camera....I thought it was a gag at first till i got there.

My guess is that someone who was on the Red Wings went to QU.

Which means that these posts should really be in the 07-08 thread.

Unless they are doing a travelling show to all towns with Division-1 hockey programs.

...I saw it in \'04 when it did a tour of all AHL towns.

2 buddies of mine from High School worked at the Hartford Civic center many moons ago. They were really friendly with the security guards who worked there. any way they had the NHL draft there 1 year and they locked the cup up in the security office over night. They have pictures of them drinking beers out of it etc. I was ALWAYS jealous as hell of that.

I have never touched the cup. They have pictures drinking beer out of it, holding up like they won it etc.

Since I rely on TSN for my hockey news, what American teams (besides tampa bay) have been making movies?

TSN shows moves made by US teams.

How far out of the loop are you ? What I mean is have you kept up with the free agency moves ?

Like Redden coming to NYR and that stuff as far back as the free agency moves or more recent stuff ?
