AL won again in Tier 1 3-1 over Schwans Blue.
Hey falcons,
How did the game between the Southern Express and the Pink Panthers turn out this weekend???
Do we have a wager?
As of right now I can not take your bet. Although, I am feverishly working to find a replacement for christmaseve. That's a tall order, but at this point they'd take ANY goalie.
My friends and i usually look on this forum at school because we think it is interesting to see what you people (who are trying to live vicariously through us) have to say about us.
By it's nature, this forum will attract some people who are passionate, perhaps insane
(falcons89, ZAMBONI) 
, about hockey. I know people who are more passionate about the game than me, I know people who are less passionate about the game than me. That is irrelevant, but what is relevant is their enjoyment of hockey. Personally, I assume the people who frequent this site are hockey fans and truly enjoy hockey as much as me.
I spend some of my "free" time (which comes directly from the time I have available to spend with my own family) to coach squirt age players, even though I DO NOT have any children involved with the AL Hockey Association. I do it because I enjoy it, I do it because I want to see AL hockey succeed and frankly, I do it because I owe it to the hockey association for all the joy "they" provided me when I was a player. A bonus to all that is maybe, if I'm lucky, I’ll have a positive impact on a kid or two. I don't do it for the accolades or the pats on the back, I do it because I love it and because I am passionate about hockey.
I am a fan and a supporter of AL hockey, I assume jetjock is a fan and a supporter of Austin hockey, I assume that falcons89 is a fan and a supporter of Faribault hockey. I don't know these people very well, or at all, and considering how very little anybody knows about the others I find it a bit presumptuous and insulting for someone to come on here and say we're "trying to live vicariously through us". Perhaps we're just fans, perhaps we're just passionate about hockey, perhaps we're a bit insane

OR perhaps we're supportive parents who are just having some fun with each other by chiding one another about who's team is better

? Who knows? Does it really matter? Not to me, it's all in good fun.

I know ZERO about falcons89 and Twinnesota but I would hardly make the leap that they are living vicariously through their child because of their involvement on a hockey forum.
