And so here we are,Jonathan Toews Jersey, the sport we love is back.
Fall carries itself with a quiet grace and class, like it knows that it's better, but would rather show it than scream it from the rafters.
Or when somebody says "The Rocket," they can't see his eyes.
It's October, and the smothering months of Summer are finally over.
While other sports run around yelling about their unbridled superiority, like a false prophet desperate for followers, hockey lets the game speak for itself, a combination of the best aspects of every sport, brought together in one.
After the 2004 NHL lockout a new rule was instituted that imposes a minor delay of game penalty on any defensive player who directs the puck out of bounds over the glass into the stands or into the safety netting. When the puck is shot into either of the players benches, the penalty will not apply. There are also game and 10 minute misconduct penalties which are reserved for infractions such as continued disputing of a call with an official or for intent to injure penalties. Misconducts do not affect the on ice strength of the offending team,John Tavares Jersey, though they are usually accompanied with a minor, double minor,Sergio Ramos Jersey, or five minute major. "Nous vivions en trois lieux: l'école,GORDIE HOWE Jersey, l'église et la patinoire; mais la vraie vie était sur la patinoire." - Roch Carrier
We know that the speed of Yvan Cournoyer is still here in Mike Cammalleri,New Era Red Bull Cap, that the effortless grace of Doug Harvey is on the ice every night Andrei Markov is,Michael Ballack Jersey, and that the determination of Henri Richard has returned in Brian Gionta.
There's something about Fall that puts me at ease. A certain humbleness that the other seasons lack. Winter flaunts Christmas, Summer boasts the beach and pools,Niklas Lidstrom Jersey, and Spring won't shut up about rejuvenation and new beginnings.
Fall is the Jean Beliveau of seasons. That's why it fits hockey so well.
Or when people hear Le Bleu, Blanc, et Rouge, all they see are colours.
I don't have any grand traditions. I don't go tailgating with buddies, or spend a fortune at a bar.
My own humble tribute to my own humble sport. Martin Brodeur was born on 6th May 1972. He is a Canadian ice hockey goaltender who has played his entire National Hockey League NHL career with the New Jersey Devils. In his 19 year tenure with the Devils, he has led the team to three Stanley Cup championships and has taken them to the playoffs every year but one. Brodeur has won two Olympic gold medals with Team Canada in the 2002 and 2010 Winter Olympic Games, as well as several other medals with the team in other international competitions.
And the thing is, I don't care that others don't realize it. If they don't understand that the sound of frozen rubber hitting a metal pipe can be either the most beautiful or the most depressing thing you've ever heard, their loss.
I'm going to put on a jacket, clean out my gutters, then sit down with a dark beer, and enjoy the first game of the season.
Celebrate however you know how.
I don't mind that when they think of the Forum, they don't think of ghosts.
