NHL games live

OK chaps (plus Mandy and CJ obviously!).

Tomorrow I fly to Hockeytown to partake of some NHL hockey. I'll be at Columbus @ Detroit, and it will be my first live NHL game.

If I think about how excited I am, my head might implode...

Have a great time, Good Sir.

I will unfortunately have to 'dip my fly in your ointment'

Your first live NHL game....Blue Jackets not won yet...It doesn't bode well

But, Hey, don't let me spoil it for you

I can relate - I went to my first last Friday. Ok, it was on European soil but they totally recreated the environment of an NHL game in North America.

The immediate thing that struck me was that the NHL rink is so tiny! I've only ever seen international/European club hockey live and although the playing surface might not be much bigger it certainly seemed it!

Have a great time Rocker. Enjoy those Datsyukian dekes.

(I my iPhone - it recognizes "Datsyukian")

Can't spell in English though

Have a great time , i went to NY last year to watch the Rangers vs Islanders/Senators. Was one of the best experiences of my life , have fun!

Live games are awesome even from the heavens so enjoy.

I will never forget my first live Leafs game...

Tashe Parros and Beauchmin put the Ducks up 2 in the first period before Nik Antropov levelled it with this second in the final minute of the third. A nervous over-time resulted in an horrendous shoot-out where oddly Toskala was pulled in favour of Cujo who rushed out of his net on both attempts leaving easy goals for Flash Selanne and Perry whilst Kulemin and Kaberle didn't trouble Giguere at all... was a fantastic game that had it all except the right result- dam Ducks!!

Look on the bright side, Buff....Selanne...Perry....Parros....you got to watch some serious talent!

Have a cracker mate! Jealous is a big under statement!

Although youve probably watched a bucket load of NHL on tv, you will be very surprised at the speed of the game live, it is unbelievable!

Indeed! Look at the roster line up here... both Niedermayers and a Pronger as well. The only survivors from that Leafs team (almost 3 years to the day) are Schenn and Kulemin.
