Would I have seemed stupid for disagreeing with you?

I wonder whats the odds would have been at the start of the playoffs of it being the Wild vs the Ducks in the west final? I bet if you picked that and there was somewhere you could have bet on it then you could be rich now.

Maybe but you'd have to also be psycho to waste your time putting that much thought into this silly game of hockey

I second that comment.

Hockey is a combination of the worst aspects of all other major sports.

Bingo!

- Ice skating (although without the sequined shirts -- then again, who knows what's under those ugly sweaters)
- Playing with a black urinal cake (no balls allowed in hockey, apparently)
- Beating the crap out of each other (poor man's boxing)

Go DUCKS!

Eckstein 4 Prez · 05-15-2003, 03:13 PM

Not to mention:

the frequent 1-0 scores, like soccer.
the fact that the TV camera gives you a poor view of the overall action, like baseball.
the lack of diversity, like golf.
the fact that scoring, and therefore winning, is mostly luck, like rock-paper-scissors.
the high frequency of the mullet, like NASCAR.

DUCKS RULE!

This have been the case back in the old days. Show me a NASCAR driver today that has a mullet. You can't.

This thread should be closed!

Why the hockey bashing???? Can't we all just get along?

Show me a NASCAR fan that doesn't. Equally impossible.

BTW -- I've often though of hockey as Boxing on Ice.

I'm confused. There are multiple instances in these forums where both LivnLegend and Eckstein 4 Prez have shown an impressive knowledge of the sport as well as a deep and abiding love for the Mighty Ducks during this playoff run. Now this hockey bashing? It just doesn't add up. Next you're going to tell me they were both just joking about being long-suffering lifelong Ducks fans...

It's not like the man would post anything original

Certainly not directly lifted but Carlin is a comedic influence!

Gee, Rich, never said I was the first person to discount hockey as a legitimate sport. Lots of smart people have it figured out.

LOL

As many intelligent people also have no use for football, especially the Faders

The only reason you do not like football is you are stuck watching that inferior Canadian version. You think Doug Flutie is a legend for pete's sake!

SoxWin · 05-16-2003, 01:44 PM

Nope, all football sucks equally. If I want to watch a similar sport it would be rugby where the action doesn't stop for oxygen breaks every 30 seconds.
