You can take it back if you like. You would have about as many people care about the game as you have right now.

Peace

Sweet. That was easy. And I didn't even need to press Staples' Easy button.

Dear Mr. Commisioner, Gary Bettman

As dictated by JRut, please hand over command of the NHL back to people who care deeply about the game, namely Canadians.

I think I know why you don't watch hockey. ;)

Yup, Americans don't care about hockey. ;)

Probably for the same reason I don't.
Hockey in the States is like a television series on the Sci Fi channel. There aren't a ton of fans, but they're all rabid, loony, and just a bit dangerous.

I don't think he was bashing the series at all.

Just the people that watch them. :D

Not bashing the series. I'm still pissed they killed Wash in the movie, and a second season is the least they can do for the fans now.

Now, when is Murphy going to be let in on Harry's secret?

I said the fans are few, not that the product was poor. :)

Now, what were we talking about again? Oh yeah, curling.

If we're going to talk curling, I'm in. Great sport! One of my favorite intramural events next to broomball. We always lost out to the grad students though. They had experience on their side....and we might have had a beverage or two before we showed up to play.

Canada beats Germany to win Ford World Men's Championship

Quite the interesting first round shaping up....

Flames are back from the dead.

Ditto Dallas.

The whiz kids and co. go down hard at the hands of Ottawa

Rangers sweep and the Bolts may surprise.

Some good action so far.

And if you cruise the fan forums, there's the usual b*tching about the officiating :D

I still think Detroit will move along. Same with Vancouver. I think NJ-TB will go 7. NYR really wan't much below Atlanta in the standings--the result did not surprise me. They probably are pulling for TB, though. Hoping for Det-NYR final. But, then, I'm an Original 6 kinda guy.
