You're committed---I can at least respect that angle! You've got that whole stalkeriffic and skeevy "Swimfan" vibe working for you. Though I guess in your case any film would naturally have to be called "Puckfan" :p

Holy crap! Only 45 minutes in and Marty is having and OUTSTANDING press conference! One thing that is abundantly clear already? He is one majorly peeved and steamed guy about having never played for or won the Cup. Sounding like he's just itchin' to finally get about business!

You are quick on trigger mister! But I guess where matters of the goalie crush heart are involved it's to be expected. :p





One word to describe Turco's whole fundamental vibe: C-L-A-S-S-Y!



It fairly oozes out of him. CAN NOT WAIT to see him in his Indian Head and on the ice, behind the team already! :dance:

On my Blackhawks Calendar I got on Opening Night against Colorado last year... I started my countdown about 40 days ago and at any time I can go look at my calendar and see exactly how many days til training camp starts, pre-season starts and the regular season starts (37 days).
