... the sheer weirdness of that has made my day. Well done.

this is just what i sound like when watching the games, at least when it's my boys, The Buffalo Sabres (http://www.sabres.com), playing.

Okay, there's a once-per-game shout of, "Hell of a game you're missing, ref!"

I've been to one hockey game in my life; the entire time I was cowering in mortal fear of getting hit by a puck. But, hooray for enthusiasm! ;)

Hehehe! What was that? ... Cubs are on. ;}

Seriously though, I don't think any Chicago fan could give a shit about the Blackhawks right now. ;P

Sez King:
Compared to labor negotiation news, a Wednesday night Devils-Sabres scrum in February will seem like naked supermodels knife-fighting in Jell-O.

Whereas, nornally, it's merely on a par with mud-wrestling night at Hooters.

Okay, yes, NHL arenas could use an infusion of sex appeal - my girlfriend's comment at the onset of the league's new ad campaign last night - "God, I wish I had Shania Twain's abs!" [your humble scribe was smart enough to say, "I wish I did, too!" and instead distracted her with our version of the neutral-zone trap] Ms. Twain's participation in the "Hockey For Drooling Morons" instructional commercials isn't going to draw my ire.

However, for those of us who place hockey substantially higher on the interest scale than, say basketball and baseball, it is so nice to see it being called "boring" yet again. Soccer is boring. Baseball, if you watch the whole game, is pretty boring, too. Yes, I'm willing to be called a troglodyte for levelling that criticism at the national pastime despite what I hear are compelling and exciting playoff games. I gleefully watched the season opener between two teams I don't give a damn about [Dallas & Anaheim] in lieu of whichever baseball game happened to be showing on our local Fox affiliate - The Bottom Line is enough for me to see that my favored teams were beating their opponents, and for me, that was sufficient.

Hockey needs cheerleaders. Fortunately, I know someone who specializes in PVC cheerleader skirts in NHL team colors. Hit www.originalsindesign.com, and tell Donna Rafe sent you.

feh.

keep it up with the wise cracks, smart ass...err, i mean "humble (COUGH!) scribe" and the only abs you'll be viewing are those 2-dimensional big-screen TV shania ones.

grrrrrrrrrrr.

on the up side, you may atone for your comments by gifting me with one of the above mentioned PVC cheerleader ensembles...and no, you may NOT tell Ivan.

:P

i've been done with all my stuff since 11AM.
and it's not due to my being over-zealous or anything.

color me frustrated.

Hehehe. I admit that I think basketball is boring and baseball (when it is a low scoring game or at the beginning of the season and the games don't really mean so much) is also boring. Soccer, for some reason, I always thought was rather exciting, but only in person; not teevee. Hockey would be much more exciting of the Blackhawks would play better than mediocre at best, and hence, I haven't been able to watch a game in some time save if the Philly Flyers are playing. ;} ... Redwings fans are just nutso. ;}

King's reply:

Normally, it's on a par with watching turtles swim.

If you like guys going at three-quarters intensity night after night for six months, with the only meaningful games being between about teams 7-10 in each conference, more power to you. For me, it gets interesting in April.

for some reason I'm hearing you chanting this set to this little catchy flash tune thingy (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/toons/21/).

Ice hockey is better!

[etcet.livejournal.com]

ice hockey is better than "hockey"?

errrr. . . *blip*. . .

or were you responding to geekers' comment?

[mykal.livejournal.com]

I agree with this post.

Unfortunately, T&I had to spend all last nite at frickin' Home Depot (bane of homeowners everywhere), & thus missed all of the opening-nite games. And he forgot to set TiVo to record any of 'em. Hrmph. But tonight is the Sharks opener!!!

Now, if they'd only upgrade TiVo to be able to record multiple shows at the same time, my life would be complete. See, we have a ton of Thursday nite Sharks games + Survivor (this season is so worth it for Rupert) + Friends (shaddup, it's the final season ;-). And then there's a few Wednesday games, which conflict w/Enterprise & West Wing. We have to TiVo & videotape & watch live TV in order to see 'em all. I actually don't watch much TV, just all on Wed & Thur nites ;-)

HOCKEY!
