    Sunday game was slightly less dire than the second semi. Although I will admit you were better than Coventry on the day. Shame that Neil Martin couldn't leave with a championship, same with Shuggy.

    Its just a bit of banter.

    I'm not a fan of any British team (give me NHL!) though I do play ice hockey. I love the sport everytime I play NHL on my xbox all I want to do is get back on the ice, it's so much fun. I wish more people were into it.

    Bracknell Bees - Local team.....gerrin! haha.

    Although honestly I hardly watch any UK Ice Hockey anymore, I just find it dull in comparison to the NHL (gotta love Channel Five for their coverage...although I wish they'd do it more often).

    As for the Stanley Cup - Form suggests the Red Wings, but I think anyone from the Devils, Ducks, Penguins or Avs could take it...

    God knows really Come on you Ducks

    I don't think the Wings will win, think injuries may claim them.

    I'd tip the Pens probably. I hope the Caps make it through to at least the second round, especially if the Habs and the Pens do too as that means a Pens/Caps match up.

    I'd love my Avs to win it but I think we don't quite have the depth if injuries occur.

    lol of course UK is hockey is dull compared to the NHL, the NHL is the best hockey in the world! UK Elite teams have a wage cap of about 250,000 a year so the standard is never going to be anywhere near as good. But its still fun following teams in the UK, its still faster than football whatever the standard!

    Eh a wage cap? That implies that it is implicitly stuck to by all teams! :rolleyes:

    Ducks need to sort their discipline out - they keep on leaking goals to a quite standard Stars team.

    Penguins definetly have a good chance of winning this, they're absolutely mauling the Sens.

    I only religiously watch the NHL. As for the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup, i don't see it happening. Something odd will happen somewhere in the playoffs and that team will meet my Dallas Stars in the final

    But Pittsburgh have a great offensive line with Crosby, Hossa and Malkin. Very attractive salary cap there, too...

    The British league never interested me, and ever since the London Knights folded i don't have much reason to watch it.
