Ongoing NHL Thread Part IV - A New Hope

[elocomotive]

Caps play the Canes tonight. The potential playoff matchup could be labeled the #JerkBowl since Don Cherry has called the Hurricanes "jerks" for their postgame celebrations (which are awesome) and Kuznetsov "a jerk" for his signature dirty bird celly (also awesome) after goals.

A celebration two teams mocked this year after wins...

Two teams that went down to the Capitals in last year's playoffs. Mock away.

So... If Carolina wins, is their celebration going to involve flapping?


But, no OT, go Caps. Do us a solid

To be fair it is a lot to get. There aren't frequent whistles, it looks like chaos without any structure and there isn't really "out of bounds" or a lot of down time. Mrs 43 struggled with it at first. She grew up in a football and baseball household.

It does take effort to really get to know the game. And some people don't want to make the effort. Their loss.


And I wish the NHL would stop trying to woo those people who don't want to bother.

My personal experience has been rather different. In college my fraternity was full of athletes so since the football team has the most players that meant a lot of guys from small towns in Texas and whatnot who came to college not "understanding" hockey at all. And yet when they came to our games nobody cheered harder or loved being a part of it more than those guys. Does understanding the nuances of the game change the experience some? Sure, but I think there's still plenty to enjoy anyway once you give it a chance.

Yeah, we got Pat Sajak and Mia Khalifa.

Not exactly a Lakers' game.

And Wonder Woman (the original one).

She went to the University of Maryland.

I wonder what her major was.

It stands to reason that players of other sports, especially contact sports, would love and appreciate hockey more than non- athletes.

And Wonder Woman (the original one).

She is a very nice lady. I have met her once or twice.

Anatomy?

 

[craigk217]

Our state doesn't need a football chant to remind us how to spell the name of our state. Maryland all day!

She went to the University of Maryland.

There is certainly some truth to that but football crowds are full of "non-athletes" (don't tell them that or risk hearing 20 minutes of Pop Warner stories ) who enjoy the experience nonetheless.

Boomer did well, but not quite as good as Wayne G.

Justin Williams tweeted that tonight, regardless of outcome, is the last storm surge of the season.
