Advantages Entertaining from beginning to end.
Disadvantages A bit chilly if you forget your gloves...
...Two days in Phoenix, and Monet was in town. What better way to limber up for an art exhibition than to watch ten grown men mash each other's faces against perspex screens?
This was our first NHL game, and we just weren't prepared for the glossy entertainment about to unfold before us. We took our seats twenty minutes before the game, and the icy blast down the tunnels added to the excitement. The place wasn't exactly packed, so we expected a poor atmosphere for this midweek game. After all, with eighty-odd games a season, surely the Coyote fans couldn't produce an electric atmosphere every night?
Back home, we were regular supporters of Ipswich Town. With football, what you pay for is exactly what it says on the tin - two 45 minute halves of football, nothing more, nothing less. You sit freezing in the wind and rain, knowing the...

Advantages Great team sport

The ones to watch right now are the Penguins.

NORTHWEST DIVISION
------------------
Calgary Flames and Edmonton oilers, two of the teams in this division are classic rivals in the NHL.

The Players
Well, here we go, the players, the Giants team for this season 2001/02, I will update annually in numerical order.
#1 - Mike Bales
Mike Bales is our newest netminder (goalie), he is a replacement for Derek Wilkinson and a very good player. He has made a few amazing saves including dives and a glorious poke check several yards out from his net. He is from the Utah Grizzlies in the IHL (one down from the NHL) but has played 20 games for the NHL team, Ottawa Senators.
#2 - Terran Sandwith
Terran Sandwith is a 6'4" defenceman who has played with Jason Bowen twice before. He has NHL experience with Edmonton Oilers. He is a good enough player with the club but I feel that a change in lines to put him with his...
