Steamer Hockey: NHL Opening Night

NHL Opening Night

Last Thursday was the NHL's opening night. The Summer is over (I think we covered that) and another dreadfully long off-season ended.

Last year the AVS opener was against the Bruins. The Versus Network - who had already showed their love of the Steamer with a special cameo of 'The Nutty Brothers' - was in attendance again.

So, in October of 2008 Versus continued the love promoting three more Steamer members (Tripod, Chowdah, and The Prof) on television after Blake Wheeler's first NHL goal - look at the 18-20 second mark of this video.

Hockey / Sports thought of the day.....

Just wanted to send out big congrats to gray bettman on his 3rdconsecutive work stoppage. Impressive stats for someone w no athletic skill! - John-Michael Liles via Twitter

LOCKOUT ANAGRAM FUN TIME! First up, "Gary Bettman": "Me Tyrant Bag" Sounds right. - Alex Semin via Twitter

Cop pulled Chico Resch over for running red light. Cop recognized Resch & said, "You more than anyone knows what a red light looks like." - NHLHistoryGirl on Twitter

I would hug Bettman if he turned to media and said, "I haven't seen this many people with false hope since I fixed the Crosby lottery." - Greg Wyshynski / Yahoo's Puck Daddy Blog

"Still trying to get my head around the players being told they earn too much money by the owners that sign them to their contracts."

Good luck to Penn State today, looking to snap 111-game losing streak.

22 total, 18 of them gold. #MichaelPhelpsMedals

Why is it that most Swedes sound like they grew up in North America (Landeskog) and most Russians can barely speak English (Datsyuk)?

Miss Kathryn Tappen on Bruins games, and she is still my type!

Nick Lidstrom and Corey Perry car-pool to a game, are not sure if either had a hat trick, and are in a Honda? Yeah - ok!

"Typical Montreal. This crap always happens in Montreal!" - Peter Laviolette

"They don't ask how you scored them, they ask how many." - Kevin Weekes
