It is Finished

Hockey is back. I promise. The Phone won't stop ringing, and I am 100% sure it is back.

A great hockey prayer from a avalanche fan and friend of mine...

To Nancy: --

"Lord, grant this, my prayer, unto Thee

Return to me my beloved Avalanche, starved from action and suffering from hunger of The Game Let them know the smell and feel of the ice--that which is Thy most glorious creation and their birthplace Let their fans know the smell of game dogs and beer, fermented from the holy water that Thou gave unto us from Heaven above Let their enemies know the penalty box, which is damned by Thy 2 minutes of unrelenting wrath Let their rivals know Thee, fear Thee, and desperately crave Thy mercy, that which by Thine divine grace has been taken from them. Let Thy beloved Avalanche taste the blessed fruit of Victory, while the defeated blankly stare down in shame. Let the Stars, Devils, Red Wings, and NHL commissioners be hand delivered by Thyself, into the deepest darkest expanse of nothingness. Let them burn for all eternity in the fiery pits of Hell after you hand them over to he who is Evil.

This I pray in Your name, Amen."

Enjoy, and feel free to do as I do and replace the avs with the stars in the prayer above.

I agree - the 5 minute major must stay! It's a show staple and I think the comparison to the Weekend Update is apt. Great for hockey fans. Hey, all we ask for is 5 minutes a day. I love football more than hockey (like you Bob, if you made me pick, I'd take football first and hockey second), but just a few minutes a day would be great. Thanks and I never listen.

i'd like to say im excited to see the nhl coming back, but i just find myself not really caring, i guess i just became disinterested and found other sports to watch. and i used to be a diehard stars fan.

I've missed hockey more than Don Koharski misses a dougnut.

But seriously, when do we find out if this 20-team playoff thing is legit? Because that is the worst idea imaginable. 20 teams? Why not let every team in? And hey, I'm a season ticket holder - let me play too! What a joke.

What a great year it has been. I could watch sportscenter in peace without the beating that is hockey highlights. Now they have to reserve the last 2 minutes of the show for hockey and womens basketball. Fantastic.

I'm about to take a dougnut in my pants.

20 team playoff?

Ah, let's make a playoff season that goes on forever go on longer.

Such is the *cough* genius of Bettman.....

You can find pick-up hockey, also known as "Drop In" at most area StarCenters and Richardson's ITC in the evening or around lunchtime. The schedules are always online weeks in advance.

Cant loose the major, probably the reason I started listening to the ticket to begin with. As irritated with the sport as I am I cant wait to watch the draft, free agency, and the puck dropping. Cant wait to get out a jersey jump on the train and watch a game at the hockey being played again FINALLY
