It is? That must be why ESPN and every other major channel in America took Hockey off their stations and the strike was almost unnoticed by the general public. Hockey must be a really exciting sport.

Were they octupuses? Octupi? Whatever...

And in the big hockey brawls they always pull each others jerseys over the head so the other guy can't fight back - don't see that in any of those boring baseball brawls.

The US screwed hockey up. We'll just keep planting our loonie in your backyard while winning on your home ice.

Baseball's fights consist of a 78 year old man and a 20-something young man. At least there are fair fights in hockey.

Having lived my entire life in states which border Canada, I have developed a strong sense of pity for those poor wretches who are forced to live there, so I really have no comeback to give poor JugglingReferee...I do, however, speak fluent Canadian, so when he responds back to this post I am quite sure I will understand exactly what he is calling me!

I've always wondered how Canadian basketball officials work in those earmuffs. And, do FIBA rules allow for black-and-white striped stocking caps?

My brother's seen Jedi 18 times.
If I didn't have puke breath, I'd kiss you.

One of the best movies of all time - in my opinion, of course.

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

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.
