the Fastest game.. the coolest game..
ah.. thank god for Direct TV !!!

Hockey,
The last sport for averaged sized white guys.
;)
-
Heh, Tahgut.
No money in Hockey like there is in all other sports.
-
that has changed :)
as has the size thing... they're getting to be much larger.
I respect them though because they play for the love of the sport.. (money doesn't hurt though), they don't seem to be the prima-donna's like many other sports.
I liken the atheletes to college hoops.
they WORK HARD when they play!
-
hockey players like there 6 million dollar for playing what they love for 6 years dont they
avs gonna lose this year
ottawa will win (if i bet on THAT ONE and it happened me be very rich) :p
-
Care to make a small wager on the outcome between the Av's and the Sen's ???
until you get to the Sakic, Forseberg, Roy, Federov level...
13 mil/year or something like that.
not too bad IMO. (not sure of $$)
it's weird when you meet them in person though.. a lot of them look like yuppie puppies
oh.. that's right.. they are!:p

I sure hope so. Too many rabid Avs fans in the office, I just love it when they loose.
-
well Puck that happens when you live in Colorado :eek:
I suggest maybe a move to North Dakota, that way nobody will be rooting at all! too busy scraping ice of their windshields :)
-
Go Leafs!

When I lived in Seattle I cheered for whoever the Seachickens and that other ream played against. Same in Chicago, Orlando, San Francisco, etc.
I did like the Tidewater Tides.
Actually professional sports is (in my opinion) a total waste of time. Bunch of millionaire whiners who claim all they want is "respect" and 12 million for playing a game half the year so they can screw off the other half. Billionaire team owners who want 400 million in welfare from the taxpayers to build stadiums that are just big advertisements for insurance companies.
Of course I also haven't watched a broadcast television show in three years. DSC, History, and TLC are the only networks I watch.
I seem to be something of a mutant that way.
In boot camp we did half time for a Chargers/Raiders game in San Diego. We naturally cheered for the Raiders, since they didn't seem to have a cheering section. Darm near started a fight with some low-brow morons who were so incensed we'd want Oakland to win they felt the need to do physical harm to us. I was all for it, personally. That's my view of professional sports fans now, however unfair that may be :)
Anyway. I might like hockey if anyone actually understood the rules, other than actually KILLING someone on the other team is a three minute penalty. I STILL wouldn't admit I want the Avs to win, though :D

playing a game half the year
:) cool thing about hockey.. only 3 months off a year !!
I agree about understanding the game. I didn't fall in love with it until I started playing it.
IMO it's the most fun team-game I've ever played!

Funny that. I learned the rules for cricket a couple years ago and now I'd love to find a game. One of the obscure Fox sports channels used to carry games way back when, and I'd keep them on the tube while i was working around the house.

Ahhh cricket...now there is a GREAT game.
We just had Courtney Walsh here playing in some local games. He very nearly killed a couple of guys I hear. You could not pay me enough to face him!

stars vs avs tonight at the pepsi center !!!
Dallas new offense looks pretty strong and FAST.
too bad they changed the rules on defense.
It gives the avs an advantage over the stars in D.
Hatcher and company are not designed for the new sissy type play the NHL is looking for.
If the NHL wanted a faster higher scoring game they should have adopted international rules and bigger Ice.

had some guys try to teach me Cricket while I was on vaca in Cabo.
problem was that it lasts too long (IMO),
I couldn't understand them through the booze,
and I never worked up a sweat!
weird
