With the lockout finally over . . . lets play hockey! If you are a fan of the NHL, shout it out and enjoy the shortened season.

This fantastic shot is how Pavel closed out his Moscow hockey waiting for the lockout to end.

I got a refund for a previous game, but I have tix for Feb 1 and in April, so looks like those two will happen. The +1 has to be on travel for the Feb 1 game, so I'm looking for someone to go with me.

 

Well, the sked changed and the April game was refunded. Still attending Feb 1 and got tix for two additional new games - Devils at the end of Feb (the +1 and his son are attending this one) and the Bruins the end of April. Glad to see hockey returning this Sat!!

 

I second that! Even tho the Wings are not on anyone's list of teams to watch. The short season would seem to favor teams from the east.

 

The Wings got their butts handed to them last night. Maybe they should call more guys from their farm team, the Grand Rapids Griffins...... their game was insane.

Caps didn't do much better - lost 6-3.
