For the Hockey Fans…

This generation of players -led by Crosby- will certainly go down in Canadian lore. That second Cup and most recent international gold vaults him into rarefied hockey air.

Since the forums have been basically dead for the past month, I will post about something I have been researching a bit.

So… anybody hear into Mobile Suit GUNDAM?  If so, any advice you want to share with a person just venturing into the franchise.

I should qualify that slightly by saying that I have done a pretty significant amount of research about the different series already and am somewhat familiar. Secondly, as with most Americans I was first introduced to Gundam Wing back in the days it came on Cartoon Network. I was about 10 years old at the time and could only watch at my grandparent’s house, so I watched infrequently and understood little besides giant mech suits with pilots and big guns. I am encouraged to know that Gundam in general is rarely so simple and that it offers both entertainment and thoughtful writing… (generally).

I am most inclined to get back into Gundam Wing as a starting point and branch out from there. I was excited to find this in my searches (http://www.rightstuf.com/site/main/news/individual/FT0000007457.html). Supposedly, this means a releasing of much, if not all, the Gundam animated material over time. I sincerely hope this means remastering, dubbing and repackaging as I have gathered that the American audience in particular has been repeatedly screwed over or shut out by Bandai. I am tempted to wait until stuff starts coming out on Blu-Ray.

That said, please elaborate if you are a fan.

Bettman is a fool he has no problem putting teams where they lost 20 million a year every year but won’t put another one in ontario (toronto or hamilton area) or bring back a team to Quebec……the canadian dollar is at par now those 2 would be no brainers.

If they are going to ask the players to give back more money which is fine at least have the courtesy to run the league well financially.

@Deaths:

Nice… my predictions were wildly off the mark.

this is the one i watched.  is this the one you watched also.  its from 1987-90   but was re-aired in 1996-98.   it was very good.

Yeah, thats it

Most hockey fans are aligned with the owners and less pissed about the season being canceled than they are about the players holding up the negociating process.

But the season’s not over. Read my blog for updates: njdevs.blogspot.com

did they get embarrased in previous years?

we lost 19 starters after the 98-99 season. so we sucked pretty bad the next few years. but the majority of their jokes were about the trademark “block O” we use as a logo on hats and stuff. my friends favorite term for us was “the zero’s”

Go Clippers! Wait, this is a baseball topic. Guess there’s no room for a fellow Axis and Allies basketball fan.
