Seconded.

Total britta’d move by NBC. I adore Community, but God forbid we have sitcoms on TV that aren’t idiotic. Lowest common denominator FTW!

I dunno what the deal is between Dave Bolland and the Sedin Twins . . .

but it’s about fucking stupid, and it got “worse”.

Maybe after the realignment becomes official, these two teams will quit blowing each other. Then again, maybe not.

Weirdos?

Dude’s from a twee little suburb of Toronto and he’s calling people weird? What, not enough Timmy’s-swilling hipsters spouting fake-polite witticisms to make him comfortable?

Y'know...

I really don’t see the ‘rivalry’ ‘tween the two teams, it’s more media-driven.

-happen to like the Canucks.

I think it's due to the way they've beaten each other in recent playoffs.

That’s probably it. One of my neighbors across the street for me is from Vancouver. He was afraid to admit to liking hockey and used the “Ha ha, I know, ’You’re from Canada so you should like hockey,’ but that’s such a stereotype” routine. I told him that as long as he wasn’t a Red Wings fan, everything was fine. His answer? “Red Wings? Oh, hell no.”

He didn’t think there was a rivalry, either. I figure if you don’t see each other six or more times a year for a number of years, there really isn’t a rivalry.

I have a number of legit Blackhawks fan friends

and trust me, they all HATE Vancouver! It might fade away once realignment takes hold, not to mention the Hawks changing the bottom half of their roster every year, but right now it’s probably one of the most compelling rivalries in the league.

I know it's time for hockey because I've started singing "Don't Stop Believing" with the words "...born and raised in FUCK DETRIOT!!!"

Really?

I haven’t seen the Canucks fans reciprocate. Then again, I only know closeted Canucks fans. They’re closeted because they’re afraid admitting to liking any organized sport other than soccer will get them ostracized from their online gaming groups. Soccer’s a purer sport, don’cha know…

Can I just say 'thank you...'

…to Winnipeg for taking care of Minnesota last night. They aren’t are immediate goal (that being Chicago/Detroit, but Minnesota losing only makes our job easier.

Pittsburgh, you were no help at all last night. Since Minnie plays Chicago tonight, it’s kind of a wash in the long run, but I’ll be rooting for the Wild to win in regulation.

I once shot a man just to see him die...then I got distracted and missed it.

Yes that was sweet

it shut my Wild friend up for awhile.

Here’s the Bogsian hit on Bouchard. BOuchard turned at the last second so IMHO it’s no call or suspension. Since the NHL is hand wringing over every hit now he’ll get a couple games.

Just a chew toy for the hockey gods

by spectr17 on Dec 14, 2011 2:20 PM CST up reply actions

Suspension or not,

my fantasy team appreciates the 15 PIMs he earned on that hit.

Unfortunately for my imaginary team, WPG’s game-winning goal was scored exactly two minutes after a penalty was assessed; and since two-minute power plays are only 1:59 long, Byfuglien’s assist doesn’t count as a power-play point. Aargh.

"The Minnesota Wild is not boring" is grammatically correct

The Minnesota Wild is a hockey team. Substitute “team” for “Minnesota Wild”. You wouldn’t say “The team are not boring”.

You asked.

by hugedeal on Dec 14, 2011 10:56 AM CST reply actions

no

By changing “team” and “Minnesota Wild” completely changes it. When you use team you use is and when you use the team name like the St. Louis Blues you use are.

by mulax6 on Dec 14, 2011 1:23 PM CST up reply actions

its a group

therefore

congressmen are not boring vs congressmen is not boring.

buffalo is not domesticated? nope tis a collective, therefore buffalo are not domesticated. THAT buffalo is not domesticated though.

However...

“Finda be” is not. The phrase is “finna”, which is a compounding of “fixing to”, a Southern dialect term. Might explain why he’s not returning your texts; he’s still waiting for them.

FIRST THINGS FIRST

my crush, nay, Love, for Alison Brie is outta control. I wake up in the morning sad she won’t ever date me. My girlfriend is likely less than impressed.

SECOND THINGS SECOND
