biggrin:

ahha ^^

here's a disturbing fact.

"Have you seen the national TV ratings for the NHL this season? If not, here are just a few shows getting more viewership than hockey: 1. XFL reruns; 2. PBS special on the mating habits of the Madagascan burrowing frog; 3. Gary Shandling Uncensored." annoy: eek:

* National = USA

It boggles my mind why the vast majority of americans just don't care about hockey. It's not like hockey is some new thing down there. Four of the original six teams are from the US. It's got just about everything that you would think would appeal to your stereotypical American; it's exciting, fast and violent. What else do you want?

I'm not saying that if you don't watch hockey there's something wrong with you. I can understand why people don't like something I'm passionate about. I just don't know why the ratings are so piss poor in the US.

*shrug*

Americans watch Golf more...

I enjoy watching golf too...but those guys watch it for like 6 hours straight...they must be on like...a 24 of beers to enjoy it for that long.

Hockey > American Idol, Baseball, and Football > *

They show XFL reruns?

WHERE I WANNA SEE MY NIGGA HE HATE ME.

I honestly stopped watching after the wings bowed out so basically a week into the playoffs..lol

You're saying this from experience, yeah?

Uuum, excuse me? This year fucking blew as far as hitting goes due to the "New Look" NHL. It takes goons and fighting right out of the league and eventually it will be soccer on ice. That's part of the reason. Also Canadian teams seem to be doing better this year and we all know how American's hate Canada.

Buffalo forces a game 7 !!

Canes couldn't pull the trigger!

I hope those two teams beat the living fuck out of each other in Game 7. biggrin:

GO OILS!

let's go buffalo

Carolina or buffalo will win the cup

East 4 lyfe.

Pyro, why do you hate Canada?

he secretly wishes he was american so that all his political views actually were worth 2 shits biggrin:

he also wants to be a Detroiter

I'm cheering for either Carolina or Buffalo, but that might be a given.

Im really suprised that National pride isnt coming out for you two. you know seeing as how Canada hasn't won the most important trophy in its national sports history in 13 years.

I didn't expect Ninty to cheer for the Oil, even though I was half-heartedly cheering for Calgary when they made their run.

Actually I didn't expect Pyro to cheer for Edmonton either...just being the antagonistic pissant he usually is.

Id like to see Edmonton win it all but now that I said that they wont. Every team I have wanted this post season has tanked

I always go with the underdog to win, I like seeing those. Although Carolina or Buffalo hasn't won anything in a long time either. Last cup I wanted Calgary, and now Edmonton. They always seem to be the less, how do I say this, money driven teams.

The reason i'm not cheering for the oilers is because I am going up for the Esks/Stamps football game on June 24th and if the Oil win the cup, that's all i'll ever hear from the fans up there. There is such a rivalry between the fans that I really can't cheer for them. Yes, I want a canadian team to win the cup, but then if the oil do, all i'll hear is Edmonton rules Calgary sucks etc. And since the esks won the grey cup last year, although I would say they would not have made it that far if they haden't done that shady deal with hamilton that allowed them to get hamiltons best players and keep jason mass around until the season was over, that makes it even worse.

Then when you see a few % of the idiots lighting fires in the middle of the street, smashing phone booths and windows, it makes you dislike them even more.

I don't like edmonton. We got kicked out of commonwealth stadium for waving the opposing teams flag in their building by 11 cops. Maybe they should spend time patrolling the LRT where a stamps fan was stabbed after the game instead.

so thats my feelings on Edmonton. happy:

Well...id like to see a canadian team win the cup

But that Canadian team will be Toronto

Like...if the West allows two 8th seed teams to make it the last couple years...it proves their inferiority compared to the East.

Canes or Sabres will dismantle the Oilers.

No, if eight seeded teams make it through, it shows the parity in the West, It means there are a lot of good teams, 1-8.

^ Exactly.

We'll see who gets "dismantled".

lots of good teams...no great teams...hence why carolina or buffalo will destroy the oilers.

Western Conference Teams Vs east teams 05-06 season 79-52-19

Only West Teams Below .500 against East

STL 1-7-2
MIN 4-5-1
LA 4-6-0

East Teams Below .500 against West
PIT 1-9-0
TOR 2-8-0 (lol)
BOS 3-5-2
FLA 4-5-1

are you implying that Carolina or Buffalo are great teams?

Canes win whoo!

fuck

FUCKING w000000t!!!!!!!!!


GO Canes'

the first goal was shit. These playoffs are frustrating. Im pulling for the Oilers so bet the house on Carolina

Carolina vs Edmonton should be a great series. The 'canes have a few ex-Oilers on their roster...making it a bit bittersweet for me. I still really admire the way Doug Weight plays hockey and have always liked Ray Whitney.

That being said, I'd rather see Ryan Smyth hoist the Cup over Doug Weight any day of the week.

Go Oils.
