That’s right. ThatDamnDoubleC and the man known as G talk hockey once again. On this episode, we talk the Sharks and whether they can make a decent playoff run, how long can the Flames and Avalanche go before they fade, and G tells a story about the Oilers Stanley Cup finals run.

It feels a little weird to be honest. This time last year, every hockey fan knew that there wasn’t going to be any hockey, because we knew that there was going to be a lockout, and we knew it was going to last awhile, so a proper season start seems like heaven. I know there’s an Olympic break in the middle and that’ll make things interesting in terms of how one plays in an attempt to make the Olympic rosters, and with a proper pre-season, the start of the season will see the best players at full stride, as opposed to taking the first month of last season to find their rhythm.
So enjoy pre-season action, cheer your team on. Hockey’s back, and that’s always a good thing.
Yeah, @GoftheInternet and myself (@ThatDamnDoubleC), sat down and talked hockey for the first ever Bored Hockey Fan podcast!
Tonight’s episode, we discussed the Olympics, Free Agency, the Seguin/Eriksson trade and much much more!

This is the final week of the Bored Hockey Fan Fantasy League, only one team can walk away with the Cup. Let’s see how both teams got to this point.
Quebec Nordiques decimated their opponents as the third seed going in. They easily accounted for the sixth seeded GreatNessPerSonified 10-1-2, then steamrolled the second seeded It’s The Flying V! 9-3-1 in the semi finals, and went into the final week, as not only the highest seed left, but as favourites,
DarkSideOfTheMoen however struggled, pulling out all the moves to beat arch-rival @GoftheInternet 7-6 in the first round, before beating surprise packet FistCity CaPs 6-5-2 in the semis, after the CaPs upset the #1 seeded Legs in the first round.
So there it is, the third seeded Quebec Nordiques, against the four seed, DarkSideOfTheMoen. It was 3 vs. 4 in the finals last season, with the four seed winning out. Will the four seed take it again this season? Let’s find out if lightning strikes twice for the 4 seed.
