New season started last night, and my favourite team St. Louis Blues lost to Winnipeg Jets. Oh well.

I'm a Detroit Red Wings fan !!

[Shania]

Ok, qpr! They are on the way up, I think.

Leafs beat The Habs in OT on home opener, poor performance, but sweet result.
Leafs a bit like Rangers, not won a major trophy since 67, play in blue and white, and not that long ago, got rid of their aging players, and now have one of the youngest squads in The NHL

[Shania]

Good luck to you, Fraggy. As a Norwegian I should maybe support New York Rangers and Zuccarello. Last year he nearly ended up in St. Louis, but they say that he isn`t what they really read. Myself, I`m not sure. but, What I`m definelty sure of, is that The Blues will do what they can to beat the solid and very physical Nashville Predators team this season. A few seasons ago, The Blues were actually on the same level as Nashville, but that was then.

Go, The Blues And the NHL.

Crap game & sport, typical #### game.

Streatham redskins kick butt

[Fraggy]

Most the fighting has been stopped these days.
used to be fun watching a bunch of guys lumping each other whilst on skates
But since they've calmed the fighting, the speed and skill has gone up.

Shania, I do have a soft spot for The Blues, even have one of their baseball caps, but I follow The Leafs as they are my closest NHL team and have many similarities over the years with The Rs

[Shania]

My history with St. Louis Blues goes back to those days when Brett Hull played. As you surely know he scored a lot of goals, and must have been a joy to watch live. An effective Maverick.
On a sidenote: I have to google The Leaves club history thoroughly now... What I already "think" I know is that they are a sleeping giant.

Can't find anyone by that name on their roster from that era, he may have played for their farm team, Toronto Marlies. I'll have another dig about after work and see what I find.

Shania, agree, Brett Hull was a beast.

[Shania]

St.Louis Blues won their first match of the season against Calgary Flames last night. 5-3.

[Factamondo]

too be honest i prefer fedex or parcelforce

[Fraggy]

Blues coming to town Saturday evening, should be a good game. Hopefully they will mess up The Habs tonight

[Shania]

Ouch. They better win tonight then. Just one win so far and Toronto looks unbeatable ..
