Chef Jim Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I know I bag on Buffalo all the time but I lived in Etem's hometown (Long Beach) for almost as many years as I lived in WNY and I'm here to tell you LB is a pretty nice city but even LB is a ghost town on Christmas. The kid is 18, who gives a **** what he says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 What a stupid POS Etem must be. He probably based his observations on the couple of blocks near his hotel. Buffalo isn't the most exciting city in the world, but a "ghost town". Gimme a break. He should go to Niagara Falls, NY if he wants to see a ghost town.

The Senator Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) True, Long Beach, CA is nicer than downtown Buffalo in late December - and, as a beach town, probably more active (at least near the ocean) - but what exactly was this knucklehead expecting on Monday nite, and right after X-mas??? I don't think he'd find too much going on in any city. I'm sure he'll hear it from the fans when he takes the ice. (Looks like he already is, as he deleted the offending ' tweet ') .

Ok he is now the world's biggest kitty hockey player. Ok, I officially hate the profanity filter. Kitty?!?!?!? Aren't we all adults here?

bbb Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 A hockey player of his caliber comes from Long Beach? How'd that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 A hockey player of his caliber comes from Long Beach? How'd that happen? Hockey's been huge in soCal for a long time. Remember that guy named Gretzky that played there for a bit? That team the Ducks that have raised the cup...something that's never happened in WNY?

Huge??: http://ducks.nhl.com...ge.htm?id=64481 Just because they don't tons of player that make it to the NHL doesn't mean it's not big. Maybe the better way to put it is that the popularity of hockey in soCal has grown considerably in the past 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is what you're saying? You're forgetting about the large wealthy population there as well. And Hockey is a money sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
