Hey all! I'm a new Canegirl on the forums! I'm fourteen years old and I've been a big fan of the 'Canes for just about ever. I'm trusting that everyone - for the most part - will not take my age into account because, honestly, I've been convinced that I'm really an 80's child that was born in '94. I've been in love with the sport of hockey since the 2001-2002 season (yeah, I had a crush on Bates Battaglia... but so WHAT?!) and I would play it if I weren't so athletically challenged. Every day I come home and watch NHL Live! on the NHL Network and I watch NHL On the Fly religiously. You think it's hard to be a girl hockey fan? Try being looked at as a silly little teeny bopper who knows nothing but who the cute guys on the team are. Ugh.  Men who think that only their fellow men are the only ones that can like hockey and "understand" it crack me up. Hell, I probably know more than a fourth of the men in the RBC Center, but I'll stop my rant now. Right now, my favorite player is the Feisty Finnisher, Tuomo Ruuuuutu.  He's such great player, always giving his best out on the ice, and after the '40 stitches and a smile' incident, he's just become a super favorite of mine. Also, a random little factoid of mine is that I ride horses. I've been jumping for almost two years and riding horses for almost seven years all together. For any of you who might possibly know the horse show circuit, I've recently started showing on the Quarter Horse Circuit. ANYWAY, I'm glad I found this forum because it's nice to see that there are other female fanatics out there! C'MON! C'MON! C'MON! LET'S GO CANES!  |

Hey trust me, I know how it feels. My dad used to take me to two or three games a year when I was about 13-14 and everyone thought I was just there for the cute guys until dad would ask why a name was familiar on the other team and I could rack up the guy's whole trade history, lol

Hello and welcome. Tuomo is mine. And you can't have him. :] Oh, I feel SO welcomed.  Hehe. I'm glad to see that Tuomo has other huge fans like me. The girls at school seem to think that the name 'Tuomo Ruutu' is Chinese or some other nationality that isn't even CLOSE to Finnish. Bleh. :eyetwitch: I have a thing for all the Finns. They're all so smiley (except Joni - but even he smiles if you tell him that he's a great hockey player). Hey trust me, I know how it feels. My dad used to take me to two or three games a year when I was about 13-14 and everyone thought I was just there for the cute guys until dad would ask why a name was familiar on the other team and I could rack up the guy's whole trade history, lol I know EXACTLY what you mean. I tend to know every stat possible and for some reason, if I know the fourth-line center on Vancouver and his salary/contract situation, I'm a genius. Apparently I'm only supposed to know which angle and what light Sidney Crosby best takes pictures in.  |

I'm 15, so I have "senority" over you; therefore, Tuomo is mine. :] What school do you go to? And are you on the main Canes board too? I love impressing people with your hockey stat and rules knowledge when everyone thinks you should just like players because they are cute instead of because they work hard every shift or something like that. I got Joni to smile and laugh by telling him and the rest of the finns what percentage of penalties the finns had taken since Jussi came. And that it was far too high. |

Welcome caniac15 it's great to have another female hockey fan that can appreciate both the greatness of the sport along with the beauty of the players! LOL..
You sound like you're going to fit in here just fine. We have a lot of chatter and great pictures for your viewing and reading convenience so sit back and stay a while.
Hope you will stick with us over the summer where things tend to get a little more quiet around here without much going on in the hockey world on a daily basis, we do try and find topics to help keep us amused.
Again.. welcome and it's great to have you!

Welcome caniac15!! Glad to have you on board. You hit the nail on the head with why this place is so great. I love having a family of women here that allows me to debate the details and actual game of hockey but still drool over the guys. hehe The Finns are quite popular aren't they? Tuomo is just awesome and is a great favorite to have. I've loved Jussi since he entered the league with the Stars (fyi, Stars are my team too. Texan here) and just about did cartwheels when we made that trade. It's taken me longer to warm up to Joni but I do adore him now too. His smiles are rare but they are great when they happen. With Justin gone it's taken me a while to figure out who my new most favorite Cane is because I do love them all. I just had to feel it out and see who felt most natural. haha I believe we've landed on Corvo. I do <3 me some Joe. Anywho, welcome aboard, jump on in and ignore Jazz's trying to keep Tuomo all to herself. There are many of us here who love him and he gets passed around quite a bit.  |
