About time someone made a thread about this. I didn't bother because I figured no one was into hockey. No one in Maryland gives a crap about hockey and I have Stanley Cup fever to the max and I didn't want to sound annoying by starting a thread.
Some comments:
1.
=AMAZING. Marry me?
2. Being a Red Wings fan is like being a Yankees fan.
3. To all the Crosby haters, please, show me a video or quotations from an interview where you get the vibe that SID has the "too big for his brtiches" syndrome and not the MEDIA wanting to "build him up to tear him down" a la Ben Roethlisberger. He is incredibly talented (though he has more to prove to be compared to the likes of Lemieux and Gretzky) and handles his fame with maturity. Can he help it that his own teammates think highly of his leadership ability and talent that they chose him to be captain? Can he help that the NHL thinks he is the most marketable player in the league?
4. ETA: I understand the throwing and swinging of dead octopi is tradition, but damn, what a gross tradition. Octopus goo being flung on you. That can't be hygenic.
5. ETA: BuckeyeTriDelta. An Ohio State alumna cheering for a team from Michigan. Tsk tsk. (Admittedly, Pittsburgh is probably no better in the eyes of Ohioans)
6. ETA: nittanyalum. Flyers?
LET'S GO PENS!!!!
