I'm a pirate fan sorry. And they have the experience of last years playoffs - which gives them experience over other teams. Yes it's a nice place to play hockey. And - I think the others on the team feel the same way. I have always beena goalie.
Most goalies have experience as forwards.
I only wanted to be a goalie for as long as I can remember. Mostly my dad when I was young. When I was playing Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget - I had different coaches. And then I spent time at some hockey schools. My Dad was the first one to teach me.
