I watched a bit of the Redwings game earlier and it dawned on me in clear and no uncertain terms: I really don't understand hockey. I guess I've just never invested the effort into cultivating a knowledge of the game. Just as well. Aside from a minor league team (I can't even remember with whom they're affiliated since they and the Stars parted ways a while back) I don't really have a team to root for.

I just can't get into hockey. Same as spaceage, I suppose. I just haven't invested any time/effort into it, and I really don't understand it.
I know, I know. Skate around, and try to get the puck into the net.
Even living in "The State of Hockey",..............meh.

I'm a big Flyers fan, not really a hockey fan. In other words, I don't watch much unless the Flyers are playing, and I don't watch them too often because they are just awful. Far and away, this is the worst team they've put on the ice in my lifetime.

I was a huge North Stars fan growing up. Funny, because I never played youth hockey but I followed the game.
I've warmed up slightly to the Wild but I still miss the old Stars. But, for what it's worth, I'd rather watch college hockey these days.

Pens offense has been quiet lately. I almost traded for Recchi and/or Crosby on my fantasy team this week, but went for Spezza and Vanek instead.
I was a huge Penguins fan growing up, my dad and I had season tix. I lost interest after the 94 strike, and am just getting back into hockey this year.

Love my hockey... I have a thread in that 'Other Place' about the team we used to watch growing up 2,000 miles away from the nearest 'Major League' team, and even with the Canucks a mere 2 hours away, I find myself supporting and following our local Junior Hockey team ( The Seattle Thunderbirds), particularly in the wake of the lockout. It's not a complicated game, once one realizes that penalties are seldom more than a judgement call by the officials. My favorite penalty this year was: 'Unsportsmanlike Diving' (a 5 minute major) which is what they call when you keep making yourself look like an asshat by falling down every time somebody comes within 4 or 5 feet of you. It amounted to: 'Look, cut that crap out and go sit down'....  |

Imminent relocation? Leaving Pittsburgh? No fans? Houston Penguins? Portland Penguins? (sounds better than Houston) Expired lease? No team? Empty seats? Ok, I give up. What are the two words?  |

Get your facts straight, Flyer lover. The Pens are among the tops in the NHL for attendance, and Kansas City is the only serious suitor.  Of course, when a new arena deal for Pittsburgh is reliant upon the Governor of Philadelphia to make an effort on our behalf, we typically end up with a bunch of nothing. He can't spare the dime because he has all the State money tied up in kickbacks, bribes, and contracts for his backroom cronies.  |

While I am never one to admit when I'm wrong, after reading your post I have two words to offer you: Kansas City  |
