We have been tardy is starting a hockey thread for this season.

Hockey players, what else can you say.

Rangers getting some love on SNL this week, I have not watched the show in 20 years. I saw this story online. Be advised that the Ranger names used are all legit. The player who is interviewed, and played by an actor, has the SKJ name that somehow is pronounced frenetically as "Shea". And he is American!

That sounds about right to me.

It was a really fun game one though, if it keeps up like that should be a really entertaining series.

I did not see the point in starting a new thread for this NHL season. Not enough interest here.



Anywhooo, I texted an oldie but goodie former member here about his local NHL teams new post home game win celebration. Hockeyfan seemed to be OK with it. Surprised to hear that from a Canadian hockey purest. It is sad IMO that man NHL teams have ripped off the NY Rangers post game salute to home fans with a team raising of the stick center ice (and the post game prop award they started years ago) but this takes it to a new level. I think it is mickey Mouse.

Sid came back to the lineup after a 9 week stint on the DL. He and Geno (Malkin) led the kids to thrash the Wild last night 7-3.
