Anyone follow NHL? With Everton being rancid i started watching the odd NHL game after a mate recommended the Oilers being good to watch and I am starting to really enjoy it. Would recommend if you have never watched it.

Lifelong Islanders fan here. Used to be an ice hockey thread
We had a hockey thread kicking around, or maybe like the Stars playoff hopes it died long ago.
I lived in Ottawa for a couple of years, Senators fan, someone has to be 
I try to watch every islanders game where possible, but mostly end up on DontTellMeTheScore the day after
It’s been fun the last few years
And yes we did this before: https://www.grandoldteam.com/forum/threads/hockey.106907/page-12

Former Chicagoan and lifelong Blackhawks fan here. I also follow some NCAA hockey; mostly Boston University and Yale. I don't watch as much as I used to but I do believe it is one of the most unique sports out there. And NHL playoff hockey is tops.
Second on the list behind footy, for me...but football has consumed most of my time since I started following Everton in '93 because I had to spend time looking for information every day, due to having little coverage in the U.S. Now it's just habit. Over about the next two years hockey slowly faded away, although I still watched quite a few games, I just wasn't paying attention to it much. If I had to guess, I lost all current player knowledge around '99. I know about Ovechkin but have never watched him.
So yeah, I've fallen off the edge of the hockey world since then. Last time I was watching intently Gretzky and Lemieux were still playing and other names like Bure, Neely, Mogilny, Yzerman, Hasek, Fedorov, Hull, Roenick, Shanahan, Roy, Lindros and Recchi were around, to name a few. I remember Jagr, Brodeur, Forsberg and Selanne's rookie years FFS.
Bit depressing that I've lost touch as they're the most down-to-earth pro's on the planet and deserving of attention compared to some of the clowns in other sports, IMO...the fact you can still get punched in the face keeps them humble. I can't even tell you who's on the current Coyotes (local team) roster, to be honest. You can only devote so much time to sport.
If football doesn't sort itself out, I may be spending more time rekindling an old flame...got more than a few jerseys in a box somewhere.
Best there is, in U.S. sports.
Haha...Indeed, we follow similar trajectories. Most of my hockey knowledge was built-up during mid 80s thru the 90s so all the names you mentioned in your previous post are very familiar; I switched more to watching footie like you, but then the Hawks won the cup in 2010, 2013, 2015, that got me very interested again.
I think I mentioned this in the old thread. One of my godsons was named Jeremy in honor of Jeremy Roenick
Tkachuk has 2 kids in the NHL now I believe.
is your godson also an annoying pest?
Nah, he’s a good kid.
