I know this is late, but did anyone watch game 6? The cameras panned out and showed the fans in the arena. It looked like EVERYONE had a Flames jersey on, all you saw was RED with a few white jerse...

their canadians, canadians support their teams to a T!

perrin perrinOG 2004

Yeah almost all canadiens are hard core hockey peeps.lol
It's part of their culture hockey has always been a big thing there, I wish people were more into hockey around here.

perrin perrinOG 2004

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004

How DID that happen? What made you strap on skates one day?

I think it's awesome, and you bet your bottom dollar I'm slapping skates of some sort on my little girl...if I have one.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 modestjesse

my dad never had boys (5 girls) so he'd play sports with us and take my sisters and i to sporting events. I just fell in luv with hockey. I had always wanted to play but never really had the time nor would my friends play. Besides the gear is SO expensive. Anyway, i got a job with Mission Hockey and they hooked me up with my gear threw me on a team and taught me how to play with the boys. once i was comfortable on rollers then they moved me to ice.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004 socalgal

You started on rollers first? I learned the opposite.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 modestjesse

really? yeah the guys advised ice would flow if i learned on rollers. i already knew how to ice skate, but i think since rollers a bit moer challenging it was fitting.

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004 socalgal

Rollerblades weren't popular when I was learning how to play hockey. And then they were expensive. I had ice skates and the pond froze in the winter so it was easy to go play for nothing. Eventually I got the roller blades but those were used more for free style skating then hockey.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 modestjesse

i'm jealous! i would love to have winters like that here (or even a 'winter' for that matter) to play ice hockey in the open air

modestjesse modestjesseOG 2004 socalgal

Well ponds kind of suck though cause you don't get smooth ice like you will on a rink. But it's definetly a fun experiance.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003 modestjesse

one day i'll experience it! *hopefully*

aviator aviatorOG 2004 socalgal

see shes awesome. Haha I haven't played hockey in almost 5 years. I should play again. I need to get some gear though :(

haha the old 3 wheelers LOL
