RIP Pavol Demitra

[PRC]

Brutal summer for hockey.

Very sad news.

So... putting your own name on a jersey: yay or nay?

I say "yay."  Players come & players go, but you're always you - unless you decide to change your name to Miguel Sanchez & go into hiding or some fucking thing...

See, that's what I was thinking.  Who knows who might still be around in 5 years from this current Jets crew.

That's why you can't go wrong getting a name of a player from the storied past or even a current player who has already cemented their legacy in team lore.

But that brings back the somewhat awkward situation of being a fan of a team that hasn't played a game in 15 years, and technically isn't the same team at all as from it's 'storied past'.

I certainly could go out and get a new Hawerchuk jersey - except Ducky never played in these unis.  But at least I wouldn't have to worry about my jersey being out of date as a result of a trade...

I got a Lapierre jersey early last season. 

I have another with no names on it though.

[Valmy]

That's it. I am getting a Guy Lafleur Maple Leafs sweater.

Just don't visit Montreal with that, you'll start a riot or something.

I think people would respond more with 'WTF?' than violence

Can't... resist... mixture of... two favourite topics...

I'm trying to decide if my next avatar should be that pic of Jets Steve, or my son.

And the "Jets" take to the ice for the very first time since 1996 TONIGHT!  Jets rookies will play Sharks rookies at a tournament in BC.  I usually mock those who watch pre-season games, and this is more like pre-pre-season, yet I am still tempted to tune in...

[Ed Anger]

I'll be sure to mock you.

[HVC]

Dear God BB. I can get, though with disdain, the "jets" hyper fascination and overall jubilance, but getting excited about the a pre-season rookie match? for shame! You're better then this 

[Grey Fox]

Getting excited about hockey is never a bad thing. But those rookie games are atrocious.
