This Day in Hockey History

[Wamu]

good to see new fans on board.
have you seen a live game? That usually hooks people

Only once and got really drunk. When I was living in the Vegas went to a Wranglers games, minor league. Had a good time though.

But I have heard from many people that going to an NHL game live is very exciting. I'd like to try to go when the Knights play the Avs. But with them being defending champs tickets will probably tough to find and expensive.

Don't be surprised once the season starts if you don't see me around asking a bunch of questions. My guess is some of my questions will seem really dumb to people that have been following the sport for decades but keep in mind I'm still learning and would like to figure more out this season.

welcome to the game. I agree with Puck live games will take you over the edge. I always say go with someone that knows the game if you are a little unfamiliar with it. or someone that just buys you beer... all the same

Thanks. Like I mentioned puckhead gonna be asking alotta questions once the season gets here.

I'm still trying to figure the game of hockey completely out. Didn't start following it until Vegas gotta team in '17.

Gonna watch more this season. Hope alotta Knights games will be televised.

This is a pretty good place to start (and is @puckhead approved).

It should be noted that some of this is no longer applicable (for example, the 2-line pass is now legal).

Good place to do that. A lot of hockey experience here.

That's a nice way of saying we're all old.

On a more serious note, the feds are telling Canadians currently playing in the KHL (Russia and Belarus based teams) to get the hell out...

Feds tell Canadian hockey players with KHL teams in Russia, Belarus to get out

Canadians continue to play hockey for Kontinental Hockey League teams in Russia and Belarus despite the Canadian government’s warning to get out of those countries.
