    Just checking in to see how many hockey fans we have on this site. I'm a diehard Ducks fan ... looking forward to the season starting up again tonight.

    New York Rangers fan here. Missed the All-Star game Sunday. May see if NBC has it On Demand and if so may watch later. Rangers are on tonight though so need to check that game out.

    Used to be an active fan many years ago, less so nowadays. I tend to pay more attention during playoffs. Ha, I remember the Ducks when they first entered the league . I think they had Stu ' The Grim Reaper' Grimson on the first line. I loved early 90s hockey before the trap.

    Played hockey for ~12 years in France.

    Like the blackhawks and (recently) the Kings, who adopted me.

    Canucks fan here, unfortunately. Hard to watch right now and the worst part is management doesn't know they are at the beginning of a rebuild.

    90's Hockey was pretty sweet ... been a Ducks fan since the beginning but I was a pretty much a kid when Stu played. I think he was only on the terms for two or three years.

    Too bad we lost that series. My dad is from Jersey and is a big Devils fan so if there was anyone I was ok with losing the cup to, it was them. Paul was an incredible player for sure. I wish we had someone like him now. He's also one of the few NHL players with Japanese ancestry.

    Big Capitals fan. I've been to a few games and I absolutely love it. My second favorite sport behind eSports. Still pissed they lost against the Islanders last night.

    BTW, am I the only one who hates the review for off-sides after a goal is scored. Video review as to whether the puck went in or was illegally kicked, etc. is absolutely fine. But we don't otherwise review offsides (or penalties for that matter). I mean how far do you go back. Does it have to immediately precede the goal. If not, then you can undo minutes of playing time potentially if there was any offisdes by scoring team since last whistle. And if yes, only just orior to goal, then it is foolishly arbitrary as you can still argue no goal but for the prior off--sides notwithstanding it having occurred well before the goal (but after the prior whistle of course). Seems like a rule just fraught with stupidity.

    Was out to eat last night and had a conversation with one of the Hanson Brothers (Dave). He was seated next to me and the wife and I noticed an odd Penguin staff shirt and asked him about it, he told me he played a few years of minor league and two years for the Redwings, he is bigger then I expected!
