The Lions' Pride

It's only on regional channels, so you're stuck with finding a stream unless you have Center Ice/Gamecenter.

And all you guys talking about the new conferences, you do realize the NHLPA vetoed that a while ago, right?

I think in a perfect world, the NHL retracts 6 teams and has 24 total.

Was going to say the same thing.

Thank you for leaving Dallas out of that.

I hope the Stars never leave, I love having them.

I was barely old enough to remember them, but they never shoulda left. No offense to Dallas, but it was too long between teams in Minnesota.

Mike Modano cameo was pretty awesome.

That always grossed me out when I was little. At least octopi aren't rats...

I used to loveee John Vanbiesbrouck aka the "Beezer." I love his helmet and pads and also liked the Florida Panthers though I grew up loving the Pens too with Lemieux, Kevin Stevens, Jagr, Coffey, Larry Murphy, Ulf Samuelsson, Ron Francis, Barasso, Wregget, Errey, Joe Mullen (he used to coach his son on a team I played growing up in travel hockey), Straka, Tochett, Trottier, etc....

The NHL video game series growing up was so fun (they are still fun to me).

Also, my Robert Foster thread is still picking up downvotes.

It doesn't work as well when people read it on April 2...

True story is my little brother, who is 8that years younger, is nicknamed Beezer because of him. Me and my dad were watching a game and he made a sweet save and we yelled BEEZER and my lil brother (just a baby) laughed everytime we said it.

Still have a bobblehead of him. He was the man.

Haha, I still need MTayl to tell me what 2013 texted him when he saw the post. It must be hilarious.

I used to be a goalie in like mini-mites and mites. I used the real old school brown pads with like hay and deer hair inside and I had a hole in the pads from playing hockey in the basement with my brother in our house, so the hair was hanging out and would come out of the pads lol. Damn, those pads got heavy as soon as they got wet. Got to play in a shootout in between periods in the Civic Arena with my teammates. That was a fun experience.

My best time in between the net was when at a tournament in Beaver Falls, my dad forgot my pads in the hotel room, and it was like 8 miles away and in a snowstorm, so no going back. I ended up using a local kids pads. He had brand new awesome pads and was so pumped to use them, except they were a few sizes too large lol. We ended up playing and beating the Delaware Ducks that game. I remember them because they had the same uniforms of the 1st Mighty Ducks movie and was jealous!

Johnstown hockey (home of the movie Slapshot) was huge at the time, mainly because of Mario Lemieux and the Chiefs. My parents used to tell me I came from Mario Lemieux's garbage as a child when I would ask where I came from (did not know about baby making then) lol.

Played in some tournaments in Champaign, IL. Their ice is Olympic size, or used to be, and thats big big ice.

Played some travel tournies in Indiana, KY, and Michigan. My brother played one in Canada.
