Mercy, who are you going to piss off next, the horse racing fans :shrug:
Looks like Maine is loosing our AHL Portland Pirates to Albany NY. The 8 fans on tv picketing the stadium looked upset :0corn
Maybe I should just STFU and quit posting. No matter what I say, I will be pissing somebody off. :SIB
:mj07: Thanks, kid. Needed a good chuckle this morning.
It seems that a good portion of Canadians on this site take their hockey a wee bit too seriously, no???
some folks have a way with words...others have....err...not way......:shrug:

soccer or "football" as they say here in England is the world's greatest sport. The masses of people on the planet verify this.

Hockey is just not a TV friendly sport. Who wants to watch a game where you can't even tell where exactly the ball (puck) is half the time? In the big 3 sports (baseball, basketball, and football (American or international) it is almost always easy to follow the ball. You add that fact to the fact that it has way too many rules for a casual fan to turn it on and watch, and you have the recipe for disaster that is NHL TV ratings. JMY $.02.

Hey man you know what? That was a good response, and really I was just trying to get a rise out of you as I intentionally went a bit over the top, and by a bit, I mean a lot.
Truth be told and despite the fact that I live in Toronto, hockey is a distant 3rd for me, behind basketball and football. Only baseball, which is truly mind-numbingly boring and akin to torture for me, is lower.
My only point is that a large percentage of American sports fans assume that because THEY don't like hockey and soccer, these are stupid sports and no one likes them. Which flows from a general ego-centric view of the world.
And I do believe we are on the verge of a dramatic fall. 8 tortuous years of Bush set the stage, and Obama and the pansy-ass democrats are proving to be not much better. I also believe that a necessary condition which set the stage for this downfall is the intentional ignorance that permeates huge swaths of America.
Just 2 of far too many examples to count:
1) In 2008 you had 3 of the 12 Republican nominees for President raise their hand when asked, "Who here does not believe in evolution?" So one quarter of the nominees of one of the two parties do not believe in basic science. In 2008.
2) Sarah Palin was the vice-presidential nominee and is now the de-facto head of the political movement that represents roughly half the country. We've all gotten somewhat used to her by now, but the truth is that my statement is simply mind-fucking-boggling. Only in America could someone so profoundly and utterly stupid as to make George Bush look like a Rhodes scholar be on a presidential ticket. Even more amazing is that even after losing so spectacularly and illustrating so clearly how stupid she really is, she can still be taken seriously and is seen by millions as the future leader of the country.
Anyhow I will stop my rant now, since there ain't a damn thing I or anyone else can do about it. But this thread just hit a nerve in terms of the grander applications of the underlying ideology manifested by this topic.
MadJack, peace dude!
Maybe there is hope for us agreeing on something.
:toast:
And, yeah, kickserv, Miller is fuking good :mj06:
Buffalo Sabres are in FIFTH place in their own division... Do you really think the Cavs (without Lebron James) would be in first place in their division and the Colts (without) Manning would have went to the superbowl. Ridiculous comparison.
First of all if all the players played for the country that they laid their heads in and collected their paycheck in you wouldn't have shit in Canada, except for a few seal clubbing, whale killing, separatist fucking pussies that care more about that idiot with the bowtie on Hockey Night in Canada than they do about their own country. Now you fuckin clowns are going to get all patriotic because you won the medal you were supposed to and almost got beat by a team that will ultimately be the best in the world? Hockey isn't dead yet. It may be about as popular as a Canadian saying "No, don't run, let's stay and fight" in the U.S. but like the separatists in Quebec, it is a constantly increasing mass. Besides letting the fucking most useless people in the world, the French, continue to procreate, stink up the environment and teach their kids to say, "I surrender" before they learn how to say Momma, you idolize men in red with knee high boots on. I mean, what the fuck is wrong with you people? Do you not have any Tequila in that country or something? Anything that will raise the level of machismo up there, maybe some Padron would do some good, hell I don't know. Fuck it, sit back, eat some Brie, sip some wine and keep your scarf tight, it's going to be a short ride Maggie.

Of course you realize this was said with all the kindest intentions and is, for the most part, a joke.. For the most part.
