@dirty foreigner: I still loathe Ribiero for that. What a pig.

I dunno, even if a player I really liked on a team I really liked pulled that shit, I'd be beyond disgusted at their behavior.

Maybe I am a little bit classy after all?

No, probly not.

Carey Price might as well have been the name of the smokin' waitress we had last night. And while this was the talk of the bar (ok, the TSN analysts on TV at the bar) for the hour preceding the face-off...

Wait, so the TSN analysts were talking about the waitress, too? I apparently need to watch hockey in more Canadian bars.

@Afino: Douchebags do this a lot in soccer, "I like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea." Hey why don't you just support whichever team is winning at the time?

Or there are people who support France, Italy, and Germany in the World Cup -- you can't do that! That's like saying (obligatory nazi reference), I support the Nazis and the Allies in ww2.

@Balls State Explorer: Sounds like the opposite of the Bruins/Habs game years ago when the disgusting Ribeiro decided to fake a seizure on the ice so the refs would stop the scoring chance the bruins had.

@Secret Identity:

I was chided by a friend because I told him I wasn't going to watch much hockey now that the Sabres were out, that it was now baseball season.

He's one of those douchebags with two favorite teams (the Avs are his other). I don't think you have room to talk about loyalty to the game if you have two favorite teams.

@dirty foreigner: I was hoping for some kind of abyss to open up underneath the Bell Centre during game 1, swallowing both teams and 20,000 hockey fans.

Like I said in the About Last Night thread, different year, same old Habs collapse. I'll take the Fly Boys in six.

Six is the Habs favorite number in the playoffs and also on their scorecard. I hear that they may battle with Darcy Tucker and Tie Domi for "the cup." It's tucked back left, and Biron won't be blocking it, but they'll still go wide left.

Or you could just go into a bar and say "could you turn on the X game"?

To which they would likely reply, "sure thing, eh?"

For example, last night the bar I was in had the Jays game on most TVs. You know, the local sports team that's still active. That's not an indictment of Toronto sports fans - I myself was more interested in the Jays losing yet again than watching the NBA or NHL playoffs.

Took us like two hours to find a bar that was playing the game, nevermind sound. Every single night.
