OXSportsWest.com: Favorite player?

Miss USA: I don't have a favorite player, but I do like watching the Sedins score. I think I like Henrik, but I don't exactly have a particular favorite.

Daniel or Henrik - there's your icebreaker right there!

Miss USA: I love the speed. I love how you're always on your toes when you're watching a hockey game because you're never sure where (the puck) is going to go. It happens so fast.

Really? B/c if you know the game you have a pretty good idea where the...

Miss USA: I don't really look at the players that much. I'm really into the sport itself.

Ahhhh, there's your problem.

You would be the one to break down her interview, you lawyer...

I don't currently hate the Canucks. I did "hate" them after they eliminated the Sharks......but that's every team that eliminates the Sharks in the playoffs.....I want that team to lose immediately, as I take no solace in losing to the team that won the cup.....I'm bitter, lol, so I have a lot of intense hate followed by numbness.

Do a lot of people hate the Canucks in general??? I read that a lot on this board, but have never really heard it anywhere else. They used to be one of my favorite non-Shark teams. I know once they got Torres and Lap-dog I liked them a lot less, but not hate.

there was alot of backlash up here (by Toronto media, of course) about how the canucks were the furthest thing from 'Canada's team'.
Burrows / Lapierre and Torres add their own niche group of followers.

so no, i don't think it's become an epidemic by any means. we are hated my many of our western rivals, but that's fair enough. I hate a lot of them, as well. i wouldn't expect it any other way.
media had something to grab onto (torres headshot, then bitegate, then Luongo fragility) and ran with it. fuck 'em - they'll get on another bandwagon a soon as a Leafs prospect looks halfway decent in an intersquad game.

Imo, y'all went out and got a bunch of gritty assholes and role players. That's what you need to win, it worked (and they will still be one of the favorites out of the west for years to come) and naturally other teams hate winners more than anything.

Where's that link with the canucks being like top 5 most hated teams

 

[naslundfan19]

You know, I was being....ah, I can't say that with a straight face.

 

[puckhead]

check the toronto newspapers, for starters.

She also likes Game of Thrones - winner in my book.

Gotcha. I was gonna say, Canucks aren't even close to my most hated teams. I don't even think they're in the top 10.....definitely not the top 7. Truth be told, if it weren't for that little prick Burrows, they'd be one of the teams I'd root for.

Then again, my top 5 most hated teams are:
1. Anaheim
2. Anaheim
3. Anaheim
4. Dallas
5. Edmonton

I have a feeling you're going to hate the Kings this year.

 

[filosofy29]

I have a feeling you're going to hate the Kings this year.

Nah, I have a soft spot for the Kings. When Felix Potvin was on them, I really got to like them (Vancouver too.....I know who Billy Muckalt is, lol). By the way.....since both teams are being linked here.....Trent Klatt had the coolest 3rd grade haircut EVER!!! They're (Kings) going to be damn good this year and it's about time. The Kings fans deserve to have a team that gets deep in the playoffs for a couple of good runs.

I hate Anaheim because I hate Disney.....because I hate ESPN.....because I hate Corey Perry.....because I hate that there was once a Mighty Ducks in the nhl.....because they own the Sharks.....

I don't blame you one bit.

The only team I can't stand is the Rangers.

The Flyers are really pissing me off though. It's been years since the Isles have beaten them in regulation.

The Penguins are annoying. Especially their ANNOUNCERS.

By the way the next time she goes to a hockey game whoever she's with better be prepared to spend a lot of money at the concession stand. She needs to gain at least 20 pounds.
