The Stars/Canucks series will be a good one to watch, I'll also pay attention to the Tampa Bay/New Jersey series.

I think San Antonio should get a hockey team because Dalllas has the stars, cowboys, mavs, desperados, and fc dallas, plus the texas rangers (arlington). houston has rockets, texans, astros, dynamo, and I think I'm missing one but I don't know.

San Antonio has the Spurs, and the Silver Stars if you count them but you know.

[slorch]

Houston has the Aeros(AAA-almost:eek: ) in hockey

if SA got a hockey team, I guess I could imagine sipping on some margamaritas while watching the game...

[jrock210]

Houston has the Aeros(AAA-almost:eek: ) in hockey

Ya and SA has the Rampage that play the Aeros but that doesn't count. If you want to get into that there wll be a longggggg list of teams and I would have to start including Autin so I guess I'll start.

[slorch]

jeremy Roenick and Darian Hatcher had been going at it all game. The Coyotes were killing Modano and not getting called for any penalties. the Stars were already on the short end of a Powerplay. This is how you answer a guy that tells you, "quit crying to the refs and handle it like a man." I think he understood Hatcher's answer after this.

This is why fighting in hockey should stay in the game. protect your stars, and don't let anyone "take liberties out there on the ice."

Lord Stanley, we're ready!

[BlackandRed05]

lol wow ok I just saw that you said one thing I guess you edited it or I was seeing things but anyways. I got it off an old website with not everyone there. I got some colleges and teams I knew from the site and some from the top of my head. It was made in the late 90s it said so I had to get creative and think. Now I know why lonny has such a pain when it comes to stats lol

[slorch]

the only reason I know about MSU is that we lived in W.F. in the mid 80's and my Mom worked there. I still keep up with the school some.

UT- Pan AmThe Falls has a hockey team (Wildcats), a semi-pro football team, and will have a women's football team in 2008.

Lloyd Ruby and Eddie Hill are from there and Dr. Phil graduated from Midwestern State.

The Hotter 'n Hell 100 is the largest 100 mile bicycle race in the U.S.

Don't forget about the Fort Worth Flyers NBDL team (Mavs affiliate). Austin also has a team and Laredo has a hockey team.

I won't even get into colleges in Alpine, Stephenville, Marshall and all kinds of places!:D

[lonny23]

Houston has the Aeros(AAA-almost:eek: ) in hockey

They had the Rampage, but you'll never see NHL in San Antonio.

Hockey season is over in Texas. Marty Turdco rides again. His lasting legacy with me is losing the 4th longest game ever while I was deployed to Afghanistan and the 6th longest game ever while I'm deployed to Kuwait. For the record, I was living in South Korea and listening to the 3rd longest game ever at work and I was living in Delaware for the 5th longest game, watching it on TV, and I almost went to the game.

Dallas will be done in no more than 5 games and I'm a Stars fan. For the record, the Dead Wings won't be winning either.

[mad_fan]

The San Angelo Outlaws played in the WPHL from 1997 to 2001 and the CHL during 2001-2002. The city, for fear of a successful program, ran off the founder and owner by drilling the team on coliseum use and concessions. The name was changed, in typical government fashion, to the kinder and gentler San Angelo Saints…:mad:
They only lasted until 2005…

What part of Kuwait were you at? My Dad was stationed at Camp Carrol in Daegu (spelling?) but it was funny because my dad graduated from CC Carrol and we thought it was ironic he got stationed there...Anyways we always took trains up to Seoul and while in Daegu (again Speelling?) we got to see the fastest World cup goal ever.

I was in Pusan (Busan), South Korea from 1997-2001. I've been to Camp Carroll in Waegwan (North of Taegu/Daegu) many times. Unfortunately, I had to leave right before the World Cup and I lived about 3 miles away from the Pusan World Cup stadium.

As far as Kuwait goes, twice to the northernmost Air Force base.

I know it will shock people, but hockey is my favorite sport. I have a lot of love for individual teams in sports, but I like hockey most. I play NHL 07 more than I play NBA Live 07 on the computer.

I want to see the floor changeover at the AAC:

Spurs at Mavs at 2:30 and ending around 5:00.

Canucks at Stars at 8:30.

I still don't know why you don't like hockey. I figured you would. It's fast and there are lots of hard hits. They shoot pucks up to 100 MPH and it's non-stop action. Unlike the other sports, they let you fight and you don't get suspended. Wide, I figured you'd appreciate that!:D

Sports work a lot like the military. It's much easier to maneuver in the air than it is on the ground. Basketball is an airborne sport on a shorter field of play (Court) and has the most scoring. Baseball has a huge playing area and is both airborne and on the ground. On average it has the 2nd most scoring happening. Football is over a large area and most people would think it was a lot more boring if they didn't have inflated scoring numbers. We don't give out 2 points for touchdowns and 1 point for a field goal. We give out 7 with an extra point and 3 on the field goals. The number of times somebody actually scores in football is less than baseball in many cases.

That leads to soccer and hockey. Soccer is an action-filled (Not like the others with many stoppages) sport (Wide, I know you'll say soccer isn't a sport either!) played on the ground. You're limited to a scoring area that's 20 or 24 feet wide and 8 feet high and the rules keep you from cherry-picking.

Hockey has a net that's 6 feet wide and 4 feet high and a guy always standing in front of it. It's not easy to shoot that puck fast and skate with people trying to knock you down and hit you into boards. The hockey playoffs are so great because it's a battle of attrition. You have long overtime games and have to keep your focus or risk losing. One mistake kills you and you have to fight through the pain to win and then come back strong 2 days later.

So you and Lonny are the 2 people in America that care about hockey....
I always wanted to know who watched that garbage.

As far as playoffs go, hockey is >>>>>>> than any other sport. Lots of edge-of-your-seat, ace puckerin' action.

Better than the ALCS,NLCS, World Series....NFL playoffs...NBA finals???
c'mon man....not really is it?

The ratings don't reflect that...in fact it ain't even close.
You could put up a picture of flys having sex and get better ratings than the Stanley Cup finals.

Okay, I'll give you ALCS, NLCS, and World Series. Other than that, it doesn't get more exciting than the NHL playoffs. I know the ratings don't reflect that, but it's still a fact, IMO.

[slorch]

I honestly don't know why more people don't like watching it. yes it's more intense than anything baseball can do. The Superbowl is pretty anticlimactic IMO, I actually enjoy the conference championships more. Basketball doesn't get close.
Watching hockey gets me on the edge of the seat for 60 minutes(game clock) of mele and digging and scrapping for every shot and guys repeatedly giving up their bodies to stop shots. Goalies pull their best Houdinis to keep their teams on top. Just imagine the 9th inning of a 1 or 2 run game with 2 people on base, except it is that intense for the whole game.
Football is easily my favorite. But hockey is 2nd with me, and I yell and moan/ groan with every shot on goal, each big hit, and every miraculous save.
Like I said, I really don't understand why more people don't like it. Go to a gam in person, or watch a playoff series with someone who can teach you the game, and you'll be hooked too!

[wide-e-wide]

I tried...literally tried to make myself watch hockey and get into it.
My roomie when I was stationed in Biloxi was a huge Buffalo fan...bought the beer and everything. He tried to explain the game to me and everything.
I was bored out of my mind.
It's a northern thing dude....
And yes I've been to a few games in person...it's much better that way.
But if you give me enough beer...watching pro wrestling in person is pretty cool too....so go figure.

btw...Rasslin' blows hockey away as far as ratings go.

[slorch]

lmao enough beer makes anything good...


I guess you're too sophisticated...:rolleyes: :D

[jrock210]

Yesterday I was lucky. I got 4 free board seats right next to the players area for the Rampage vs Aeros game and although it wasn't much of a game they had a great fight. I caught a puck and one of the players caught one that went into the players area and he passed it aroudnd and everyone signed it during intermission and they handed it to me. It's got to be worth like 10 bucks! lol But I love hockey Stars are my favorties and I enjoy watching the hockey fights

If the Stars make the finals, which they won't, I'd probably watch a little. I watched the Stars first goal last night - and was actually interested for about 10 minutes after that.

Yes, it's better than all of those. Teams don't play almost perfect games in the NFL, MLB, or NBA, but you sometimes can play an almost perfect hockey game and still lose. I would think you'd like hockey. People don't watch hockey because they don't understand the rules and most people don't play hockey. That has nothing to do with the quality.
