Let's start over......
I've still got a few more years left of that, still want to climb on the back of a bull that isnt in my cousin's pasture and see how long I can last
Stampede and to see an NHL game again are the two things I want to do while I'm out here, only been to two since '97.

Well, hopefully you won't be watching an NHL game from the handicapped section of the Saddledome.
I got to see a Stars/Canucks playoff game a few years back at the AAC, man that was so damn fun. The atmosphere was electric. Those Sedin twins are good, and Luongo stopped darn near everything. Love me some NHL playoffs.
I got to see one of the Jet's last games at the old "Barn" Winnipeg Arena, what an atmosphere I was young but I still remember how pumped everyone was even though they all knew at the beginning of the season it was the last. Last game I saw was a Wild game in Minneapolis a few years ago. Would love to see the Flames and Sens play eachother. Never had the chance to see a playoff game, but that must be an experience to remember.

I never miss a game when I have the chance to watch it. If I have the time off this winter when games are on driving the 90 miles or so is worth it to see. Hockey is THE sport, glad I had the chance to play in an actual NHL arena back home when I was a kid, what an experience skating on the same ice as Teemu Selani, Doug Gilmour, Ed Belfour, Ed Olczyk and all the other greats.

Chain link fence doesn't make good boards. We made goals out of PVC and had construction zone plastic fencing for nets. One guy had his grandma sew pillows in his shorts. He wasn't a good skater.
I'm 6'2" and one bud of mine is 5'8". We were on opposing teams and heading towards each other down the boards for a loose hockey ball (best on concrete, roller hockey). I would have killed him, so I broke off, but so did he. His head hit my head, I kind of turtled so I wouldn't kill him and his forehead hit my left eyebrow. Yep, no helmets. Gave me a good shiner.
We didn't get helmets until I took a three ball roller puck to the forehead one time, by the same guy. I was bleeding pretty bad from that one.
