NHL '08- '09 Thread

[Prefy]

I've been so busy over the last month I havn't been able to sit and watch many full games start to finish but I was able to smoke a nice RS 12 while watching the Hawks-Wings game the other day. I'm really not suprised at the teams in the finals and think that it should be a good series. Although I do think that we havn't seen the best hockey that the Wings are capable of playing yet this post-season.

On more of a local note tommorows a big day in Winnipeg as the Manitoba Moose(Baby Canucks) take on the Hershey Bears(Baby Caps) in game #1 of the Calder Cup finals(AHL Championship). The last time there was a professional hockey team in Winnipeg in a leauge championship was back in the WHA days so the city is really a buzz right now and thats been shown by the fact that game #1 is already a sell out with 15,000+ tickets sold. It should be a really good series as the Moose finished first in the AHL and the Bears finished second. I have tickets to games one and two and am hoping that we see a championship parade in Winnipeg in the upcomming weeks.
