Dammit I really wish I was able to watch hockey games. I'm watching some highlights from the games tonight, and Stephan of the Rangers made a fantastic goal. All by himself. Amazing.

Taggin' this topic.

I'm a huge Blues fan. Sadly I don't get to watch their games ever. Any of you know a place online where I could maybe watch live games? I doubt it, or if there is I'd probably have to subscribe I'm sure. I'd also like to follow other teams. I was at my mom's house tonight and we watched Lightning vs Fliers. That was awesome. I like Philadelphia, mainly because Chris Pronger is there, and he was my favorite Blues player as a kid.

But yeah, I'm trying to get even more into hockey. Like I've always loved the sport and the Blues, but there's still a lot of stuff I don't understand or whatever.


Sent you a PM.

I try to watch hockey every day. The site I have is free and awesome. If the Sens aren't playing I'm usually watching hockey anyway.

If the Sens are playing I'm either at the game or watching it on my 46" in HD as opposed to my 21" monitor. :P

Also no problem. I love hockey so much that it's only fair to share it with as many people as possible. Plus the Blues are an awesome team and deserve the fans. Really like a lot of their players like Oshie, Backes, Pietrangelo, Perron (who would have had his breakout season last year, but is making up for it since his return), Berglund, Rattie, Tarasenko, Shattenkirk...I'm literally jealous of their roster.

I've always loved hockey too, but I've never been really invested in it. Like I couldn't even name all of the players on the Blues right now, much less their numbers (I'm getting there, I've got my favorites memorized like Oshie, Halak, etc). So when I see people like you, who memorize the whole roster of your favorite team plus a bunch of other players from other teams... I'm envious. But I also strive to be like that. I've got time. One of these days I'll be a pro when it comes to hockey knowledge.

Depending on what level of knowledge you're really looking to attain I suggest checking out Hockey's Future (just google it.) The boards there have a lot of idiots but there's a lot of nice, knowledgeable posters there too and you can learn a lot. If you sign up there and go to the St. Louis board I'm sure they'd be more than willing to help you out. :)

What could they teach me? Like I mean, the main thing I'm studying up on is players. First thing obviously would be to learn all the players on the Blues and their number. I guess learning more about them and how they play and stuff... I don't know. I figure everything else I need to know will just come with time.

Pretty much anything you want to know. The players, the team situation, the prospects, etc.

It's one of the most comprehensive message boards I've ever been to on any subject. It's very, very good and has a very, very healthy community.

Hopefully they're better than the Penguins announcers, for his sake. The FSN-Pittsburgh guys (Root Sports I should say) are such big homers that even I get annoyed.

The Panthers are one of the best teams in the east? Wouldn't have guessed.

The Rangers have quickly become one of my favorite teams. With Anisimov's gun taunt, which I just thought was cool even though everyone else considered it crossing a line. Then tonight Richards made an awesome goal, as did Stephan.

What's the pricing on Center Ice? I want to compare it in value to what I spend for Extra Innings each summer (which feels ridiculous).

Also even I have to give the Rangers credit right now. They're better than we are. Dunno if better than Boston, and I guess I shouldn't be as surprised as I am. They did add a star in Richards and they have an elite goaltender. Torts is a great coach too.

Obviously I want the Blues to succeed over the rest. But I like the Red Wings because I thought they were cool as a kid, so they're a nostalgic team to me. Same with the Penguins. The Flyers I like because, as I've explained before, Chris Pronger is on their team. He used to be my favorite Blues player as a kid. As for the Rangers, I just explained why I now like them. That's a recent addition to my favorite teams.

It seems to me that using that logic, I shouldn't like any other team aside from the Blues just because they're all technically enemies of my team. It's not even that I'm really rooting for those other teams, I of course always want the Blues to win. But when the Blues aren't playing, I'll be watching a game with one of those other teams.

So everyone, since I'm new to these topics, you should all mention who your team is for me.

I'm a Red Wings fan.

Watching a lot of games is the best way to learn all the players on your team. Reading forums and blogs about your team can really help too, because you can get a clear idea on what most fans of the team think of certain players and maybe some info on the guys who don't play every night, but are still part of the team.
