Alaska Darin Posted June 15, 2006 Author Share Posted June 15, 2006 I'd say I'm sorry to all the people who don't watch the greatest spectacle in sports (the Stanley Cup Playoffs, in case you were wondering), but I'd be lying. It's absolutely their loss and tossing the TV ratings around makes me really happy. Once again, with their backs against the wall a hockey team steps up big time.

Chef Jim Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Tell me about it. 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. It sure was fun watching the boys hoist the Cup in THEIR house. 708599[/snapback] I know I mentioned this before but I went to a game during the Duck's first season and lady behind me asked the person she was with why those players were skating around with poles in their hands.

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.

Like A Mofo Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Someone probably told them if they lost their voices they'd get a month worth of chitterlings and okra plus a free ticket to the nearest neckcar track to meet Cale Rusty Earnborough. 708588[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the Zamboni was resurfacing the ice during the first intermission, he heard one redneck behind him say to the other redneck: "Hey....how come the ice don't crack?"

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Biggest bandwagon jumpers around. 708707[/snapback] In all fairness, there were alot of Sabre bandwagon jumpers. 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.
