Coupla questions for you to consider...

1) I've been a hockey fan for about 15-16 years. Upon my entry to fandom was I supposed to fall in love with a horrible team that was never on TV? Or do you think it makes more sense that I fell for a team that was on TV more than most, had several players I really liked, and played a style I was a fan of?

2) How can you be a bandwagon fan when I know, roughly, 10 hockey fans in the world?

[007]

A college championship is better than nothing.

It's great. But I want a Superbowl championship DAMNIT!!!!:banghead:

[milkman]

YOU SON OF A BITCH I WILL FIND YOU!!!!

What?

I've never been in hiding.


I just hid my money.

Damn kids, always want money.

ROFL Gotcha. I had you in mind when I typed the bandwagon deal. You're the only Redwing fan I know of on this board.

I figured you did.
I guess because they were so good when I started getting into it, I'm a fan.

But I'm not a fan because they were good...


...if that makes any sense.

It does. I was raised to be a Chiefs fan. By the time I got serious about football at all, the Chiefs were winning a lot of games. It's only been recently that I've learned what losing is. Good luck to your squad this year bud.

Whoa...whoa. Let's not get carried away here. :harumph:

[Pablo]

You forgot about this one.Cardinals are teh gayzorz.

And hockey might be interesting to watch in person, wouldn't know...but it's like soccer on ice, I can't be amused by watching a puck fly back and forth for an hour, and finding the net maybe once.

I would have agreed around this time last year. My wife's been a hockey fan her whole life, and I've pretty much tolerated it. This year, though, I actually made it a point to watch games whenever they were on. As I've come to understand the finer points of the game more, I've enjoyed it much more.

I don't think I'll ever like it as much as football, and I must admit that I sometimes watch games while doing other things (like working, playing on the Planet, etc.), but it's a good time anyway.

[Rausch]

You know, I've never met anyone who actually watches hockey.

I quit sometime in the late 90's after watching the Blues get horribly stomped in round 1 for like the 11th straight time...

:harumph:

[Pablo]

I really can't have Cards envy. I've really just started watching MLB this year. Considering I only live 50 miles north of KC and the Cards/Royals gear I see around here is 2/1, there is obviously a pretty loyal fanbase throughout MO.

But the one Cards fan I know pretty well is also a Raiders fan... so, by default, all Cards fans are Raiders fans. A hatred is born...

Go Royals.

It will probably annoy the hell out of you to know that I'm wearing a Royals jersey right now.

I love my Missouri teams. :)

I've never liked the soccer on ice comparisons. There are way more scoring chances in a hockey game. There are usually at least 50 legit scoring chances, often more. And I don't like to compare sports too much... but really the only sport with a bunch of scores is basketball. In football if you score 3 times it's 21-0... so it's kind of skewed.

[ClevelandBronco]

I hope they win it too. Sorry to all the bandwagon Red Wing fans. Oh, and if you're still alive and rooting for the Wings, yeah, you're a bandwagon fan.

Avs fan all the way, but I'll root for the Wings when they come out of the NHL West. The West has several teams that could beat the Penguins.

You're on the slippery slope, sir. One of these days (I'd give it two years if you keep watching regularly) you're going to post your confession that hockey is the greatest game ever invented.

I've never been comfortable with the fact that I have found a mistress in hockey that has supplanted my lifelong marriage with football, but I'm willing to admit that it has happened.

When you need a sponsor to get you through it all, I'm here for you.

Like you have options, small town.

[Pablo]

Like you have options, small town.Eh, if we brought an NBA team in here, I might be interested. I think an NHL team would fall on it's face around here. And we have the Wizards...so hah, if I want to watch a boring sport, we always have soccer.

Yeah. We have all of them and more, and none have fallen on their faces. You really ought to move to a real city.
