No one there likes hockey, so there's no overlap.

I agree with not having two teams right in TO, but I think SWO could support one, whether it be Hamilton, London* etc. I agree it should be an existing team too - not an expansion. I don't know if there'd be an appetite for growing a fanbase to a completely new team.

While there might be an overlap, they're all different markets. The Ducks aren't calling themselves the Anaheim Ducks of Los Angelos. They're from Anaheim and that's that.

Btw, you can blame Wayne Gretzky for the Sharks and the Ducks. If it weren't for him going to LA back in 1988, the rest of California might not have given a shit about hockey.

I'll add it to my "Gretzky list"

Not sure it was a curse so much as a stupid move to put Cujo in net when he hadn't even played during the game

elevated_u2_fan · 10-23-2008, 08:33 AM

eh, people get too worked up over shit like that, it was kind of fun I thought - totally unexpected and different.

It didn't work but it's not like we’re going to win the cup this year or anything, might as well have some fun while you are it.

Maple Leaf Sports called, they want to hire you in PR

elevated_u2_fan · 10-23-2008, 10:04 AM

damn, I could retire after just a year...

UberBeaver · 10-23-2008, 12:47 PM

How much are the Leaf's paying Blake? They're scratching him tonight.

elevated_u2_fan · 10-23-2008, 12:48 PM

a lot, that's for sure...

Whatever, I like him and all but I'm curious to see what happens... I'm pretty sure we'll lose (

) but by how much is the question

ladywithspinninghead · 10-23-2008, 07:35 PM

My money's on Toronto (it's currently tied)

elevated_u2_fan · 10-24-2008, 08:17 AM

wow, consider me surprised... I didn't get a chance to watch this one but I like what I saw in the highlights

Ottawa tomorrow night... This usually spells disaster but the Sens have been slumping lately

I like the Rangers', simple and old school.

I like the Wild uniforms. Probably my favorite along with the Blues.

Off the top of my head, most of them suck.

No, ours are definitely the worst.

My favorites are Montreal, Edmonton (the '80s one), and Detroit.

ladywithspinninghead, you look just like one of my friends from college. I have to keep telling myself that you're not her when I see your posts. LOL

ladywithspinninghead · 10-28-2008, 10:20 PM

Maybe I am

elevated_u2_fan · 10-30-2008, 02:24 PM
