Jimmy Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Minnesota Wild!with the tragic off-season finally over, we get to enjoy some hockey in the form of pre-season games. i know it's still premature and all that but i can't help but be excited about the next season. my team, Minnesota Wild, has done some major improvements over the past off-season. especially our first line Heatley-Koivu-Setoguchi already looks so good. i thought this was a season for us to get ready for the future, waiting for the young guys like Scandella, Phillips, Larsson, Brodin and of course Mikael Granlund to claim their spots in the team. but still, trying not to get too excited about the upcoming season, i think we have a chance at making it to playoffs.

Jimmy Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 My older brother is a HUGE habs fan, partly because Saku Koivu is his favorite hockey player. He started paying close attention to hockey roughly at the same time the Canadiens drafted Saku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 yeah, i remember watching his comeback game after he was cured of cancer. that was very emotional and touching, a whopping 10 minute standing ovation for him before the game. i'm sure that it's one of the greatest moments in his life, if not the greatest. i hold this memory very dear, thank you guys over the pond for your classiness, respect and passion. Saku Koivu said Montreal is like a second home to him. They gave him a standing ovation again when he returned to the Bell Centre as a Duck. It's something that makes me so proud.GO HABS GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny68 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I like hockey very much! My favorite team plays in Germany - this time only in the 3.league.EV Duisburg! But a few years ago they played five years in the first league = DEL. I like to watch NHL Hockey on TV, and a good friend of mine was a finish hockey player (he played in Finland at Tuto Turko and here in Germany at EV Duisburg)So next week I can go to hockey every week again!

Frey Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Earlier this off-season, I saw The Stanley Cup in person. The son of the owner of the Defending World Champion Boston Bruins owns a house not too far from where I live. So does Cam Neely. They both brought the cup here for people to see,touch,kiss, etc. Hope I get to see it again next summer! WOOOOOOOOO!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 we got a rare treat last friday when Anaheim Ducks and Buffalo Sabres played their season opener here in Helsinki, Finland. NHL have shipped teams here for three years now for season openers, and we love them here. everyone kinda goes nuts when we get a taste of the NHL over here. and of course, this year was a bit different to those before. we got to see our national hero Teemu Selänne play a live NHL match here in Finland for the first, and probably the last time as he will most likely retire after the season. Ducks for the cup, do it for TEEMU!and Frey, you're not the only one! i saw the cup when Bruins' backup goalie Tuukka Rask brought it over. We were passing Savonlinna(where he brought the cup for showing), a city, on a road trip as we realized that he, the festivities and the cup was there! we then headed over there after asking directions and got to see the cup! the stanley cup was much bigger then i had anticipated. what a day that was.

Jimmy Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 after 15 long years Teemu Selänne returns to Winnipeg, where he shattered the league's point and goal records for rookies with 76 goals and 132 points in a single season. Selänne's Anaheim Ducks will be facing the Winnipeg Jets tonight, remember to tune in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
