I hate rants like this. "Why is everyone else in my way? Don't they I have places to be and things to do??" Newsflash - you're everyone else to everyone else too. And you don't have more or less entitlement than any of us, regardless of what you think.

Spike TV!

I don't really know what their entire programming list is like, But I have (while surfing) stopped on ch. 43 a few times, in absolute amazement!!

Last night I just could not look away when I saw the show MANswers. (kinda like when ever I see the "Slap Chop"...I gotta watch that whole thing)

What an atrocious P.O.S! this show is! It's demographic has got to be 13 to 15 year old boys!!

Do Boobs float?

How to survive a tiger attack?

Bullet proof Boobs?

Life saving Farts?....etc....

Possibly the stupidist show ever on television!!

I really hate the phrase 'have to have' (As in 'We have to have a goon on the team'). I think it's possibly the most awkward sounding grammatically correct phrase in the english language. There's a reason people end up saying 'hafta have', it just sounds awful. Somebody started a thread this week that had 'have-to-have' in the title, and I couldn't bring myself to open the thread. And the thing is, there's a perfectly good substitute: 'must have'. It's equally correct and sounds far better.

How on earth did these boat loads of new Canadian Sudanis get their license?

I don't care if i sound racist or not these guys cant drive worth craparoli.

Driving down 17th Ave SE is a adventure and not because of all the weird people you see. It's all the new Sudanis that the Canadian government rescued from war torn Sudan. There is no way in Edmonton that these guys got their license through legal means.

Turning in wrong lanes. Not stopping at stop signs. Slowing down on green lights.

And yes that's why no Fringe. I miss it too, but baseball is more important.

Hey poolies - it is not a FANTASY league. You are in a pool. Or a rotisserie league.

A fantasy involves a yacht, Queen Noor, Catherine Zeta Jones, and me.

This is to all those dolts that sign into Calgary Puck and take every pot shot they can when they hear something negative about an American NHL team.

Guess what? There are more hockey fans in the States than there are people in Canada.

Phoenix deserves a team more than Saskatoon, Winnipeg, or Quebec City. Know why? More people and a dollar that won't suddenly only be worth 60 cents.

As for the attendance woes - it's not about "culture". It's about winning. See: Calgary circa 2000.

If you really think Bettman is an evil mastermind who hates Canada... then you would probably be happier on HF boards. Because you aren't sophisticated enough to be able to participate in any meaningful way here.

Rant off.

the one that gets me.."it is what it is"

Q: what do you think about being scratched for the game?
A: it is what it is

what was said there? nothing! the statement could have just been "no comment". at least that in itself is a comment.

And they mostly live within 500 miles of the Canadian border.

I hate it when analysts refer to players in the plural, when they actually mean to refer to the specific player. "The Borques, the Glencrosses, the Regehers on the team are doing their job"

Sorry trout, but you're wrong. I'm allowed to fantasize about having / running my own NHL team. Catherine Zeta Jones would be my director of communications though.

You're sitting at a stop light; why is it that the person who wasn't paying attention, the person who didn't move when all the cars in front of them moved, why is that the person who always gets through on the yellow and leaves the unfortunate vehicles behind to sit through another cycle?


Why do people always point to Calgary c.2000 when lack of attendance is given as a reason to relocate teams? Isn't there a difference between fans who don't go because a team is inept vs fans who will only go when the team is a winner? Attendance woes are a symptom, is the cause a crappy team or a lack of caring? A cough can mean a cold or it can mean H1N1. Correlation <> causation.
