I went to Georgia to watch the ECHL finals between Gwinnett and Alaska. It was embarrassing having to patiently explain stuff to people who couldn't grasp the smallest details and whined about every call and non-call. The insults some of them tossed our way were pretty priceless. Don't get me wrong, there's always room for new hockey fans but there's little reason to be a fuggin' idiot about it.

The geniuses that run the league couldn't figure out a new moniker when they merged (absorbed) the West Coast Hockey League so they just left the name.

Everyone knows the game is better live and the fan base is as rabid as any out there. There are few people who are actual sports fans and actually go to a professional hockey game (any level) but don't get hooked. These playoffs have been as good as any ever, though they'd have been better had the best team been remotely healthy when it counted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taro T Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 penalty on the oilers... tripping, but the oiler's guy dropped the stick... marginally could have been called for a dive. 708633[/snapback] Marginally, my butt. That was Recchi, the all time reigning supreme king of the dive. He was spinning before the stick even touched his leg. Then Staal trying to dive in the corner when Peca touched him set the tone for Staal not breaking on Stillman's bad pass quick enough. If Staal fights for the puck the 1st time, Carolina might have been able to work the puck all the way back into the Eulers' end. I realize the SOB's are in all likelihood going to win one of the next 2 games, but I just absolutely loved the way how the completely injury-free team finally had to face adversity and fell short.

Every game was suddenly a sell out, people I didn't know even watched hockey became diehard fans, and there were like a million Sabres threads on this board. It's the same everywhere when a team suddenly starts winning. Obviously we have a much better hockey tradition here but let's be fair. That said, Carolina should rot in hell.
