NHL Lockout With Your Cock Out |OT|

There are some other terrible opinions in here, but this is just criminally stupid.
Americans...
Curling rocks!
:lol
Hating soccer is one of the few times the average american has the correct opinion on something.

You can't make fun of a guy when he doesn´t even understand your jokes
Crazy goals, bad officiating taking away goals, great chances, awesome tackles, great assists but most of all the game surprised you all the way to the end. I couldn´t sit still
EDIT: You caught the game Soc?
Take out Daniel, put in Kane and Dustin Brown. Thanks, mang.

They both look-alike to me
EDIT: You should but knowing the score might take a lot of the magic away from it
I'll spend my entire life trying to repair Daniel's good name. Fuck Henrik and his diving.They both look-alike to me
Nope. From what I've heard might have to try and find a torr-... VHS recording off a friend...
And don't bother trying to persuade these guys. American media culture is heavily steered toward downing soccer. They're brainwashed at a young age.
Nowhere near any of those other guys.
Let me save you the trouble of going to find the only video you ever post to support your argument: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VqDeLFdvpg

Yeah, how anyone can like hockey and hate soccer and vice versa just blows my mind. Must be the media.
If I gave a fuck what American media thought of sports, I wouldn't be a hockey fan.I'll spend my entire life trying to repair Daniel's good name. Fuck Henrik and his diving.

I don´t know why I wrote him, meant to be Lapierre and the remark about mixing them up was just from an old Carcillo interview mixing up Lapierre with Lapierriere

Kane diving?
Oh, it's Soc.
Never mind.

Simpsons jokes perfectly reflect the general American attitudes, imo.
Hockey - Kent Brockman: "Tonight a city weeps, as, for the first time ever, a hockey arena becomes the scene of violence."
Soccer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnJNcRCGnGg#t=70s
The derision toward soccer is a lot more widespread. Hockey gets less respect, but is mostly downed for being violent or 'Canadian', not boring.

Why? We already took their only valuable resource. Jim Carrey.
We'd just go 1812 on your ass again.

No you wouldn't.
Wayne Gretzky is a proud American
1812? What does the last time the Leafs won the Cup have anything to do with this?
We probably wouldn't. Times have changed over the past 200 years.
The Cup was mighty different back then.

Yes.
If they're flipping channels on a Saturday afternoon and come across a Chivas game.... I can understand.

Sorry sir, but you are in current violation of "Marvie's overused joke clause".

I actually enjoy watching really good soccer. I can't watch MLS, but if I try to watch the big champions league games and I always watch the world cup and euros. I played soccer (goalie) til I got to highschool though. I wasn't ever particularly good, but I really enjoyed it. It's pretty easily my second favorite sport to watch. I like football too, but that's just more of a sunday ritual than anything. I don't care about any of the teams.
Basketball is offensively boring. It has no redeeming qualities.

We can export more Justin Bieber's to fuck up their young kids as well
It used to back when there were great players, great rivalries, great dynasties, and the top players were actually likable. But the 80's and 90's are long gone, so yeah.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Truth. I don't hate soccer at all. I grew up playing soccer and still play soccer intramurals with the students at the high school where I teach.
I just find it to be the most boring sport to watch. I'd much rather watch baseball, golf, and bowling instead of soccer.
Speaking of overused jokes......
Baseball? Of all sports? You guys are weird.
If the major sports, it's a clear Hockey > Soccer > no sport at all > NBA > kill myself > NFL > kill my corpse again > MLB.

Here in the Triangle it's an NCAA basketball audience: Duke, UNC, NC State. They are pretty much in competition for sports fans. I have to say that the Canes have done a pretty decent job of keeping a strong fanbase here despite a few abysmal seasons and rehiring Mo.
I refuse to acknowlege lesser sports.
Premier League is acceptable. I WILL NEVER WALK ALONE.
You know what you're talking about.
The only thing I think is missing in hockey is tactical discussion like you can find on zonalmarking.net
(If there's a website like this you guys should tell me now)
Hockey > Soccer (if Canada was good or the MLS was a top league, this would be different) > Football (with friends and booze) > the rest
Agreed that the NBA used to be better. Was a fan in the 90s.
This shit is a nostalgia bomb for me.
Ahhhh, 90's NBA was the shit.
Another nostalgia bomb, as I was a huge Bulls fan.

Brendance Gaunce named captain of Belleville Bulls. Good for the kid.
Also, I read an article mentioning a good point about how the lockout will allow prospects dumped into the AHL a much better development season since they'll all be given bigger roles against more NHL quality competition.

Baseball is 9 innings too long.
Basketball is only remotely interesting in the last minute of the 4th quarter.
Soccer is awesome(Euro, World Cup etc). I don't watch EPL or MLS.

The things we do in a lockout!
*does the same*
Fuck I love that theme! Right up there with the old HNIC theme for me.
Those were good days growing up. I was a kid then but there are some good memories there.
