My son has taken to a chant for Flyers games that he learned from the Wings indoor Lacrosse team. After each Flyer goal he chants "It's all your fault!" at...
One of the coolest chants I've seen and heard is after each goal against the opposing goalie the crowd chants/yells SIEVE ! .. SIEVE ! ... SIEVE ! , each time...
The higher level pro league is dead for the foreseeable future. The junior league was an idea to ice a 23 and under league as a niche thing. No franchises have...

At Queen's Park Arena in New Westminster, where the Bruins played in their mid 1970's WCHL heyday, fans in the north end would not only chant "Sieve!", but one...

I like to pose a question to the membership based on something I read in the book "Flying Frenchmen" written by Stan Fischler and Rocket Richard. The book is a...
If you remember the Summit Series played in both 1972 and 1974 it was pretty clear that the Soviets had much better puck handling skills then the Canadians...
I've watched hockey for 36 years. In that time, I believe that the average player does not possess the level of stickhandling and passing skills that players...
Not for Europeans....but I will say that we see fewer Perreaults, Lafleurs et al today from North American players. I'm not so sure that it is as declined...

I agree with Bill on this ... its the game plans and flow that make the big difference as to why players don't stickhandle as much. Don't kid yourself that...
Good point on the curve of the stick. I have been told that the curvature of the blades has had tehe biggest impact on the game. Going a step further with ...
I'd like to see moguls on the ice...that would spice it up, too. I'm gettin' tired of finding that we need to change the game that was so great. I don't...
