Could the final 4 hockey teams be any worse!!!????

[joeybee12]

The EX-Whalers (strumpets).

Red Wings (who have won too damn much in recent years)

A team loved by an ex-DU'er, who was banned

A team from the most politically corrupt city in the world


What to do, what to do?????

[LisaM]

1. It's easy. Root against the NASCAR team.

Otherwise, we have three great options. I only wish Boston had come through. I wanted an all Original Six matchup.

I'm sorry you don't like the Wings, but they come from a gritty, lunch bucket town that needs good news. They do it right. They are not the Yankees. They scout players and find them deep in the draft (Datsyuk was drafted 197th - that's correct, and he is up for THREE major awards). They don't just go out and sign superstars. I love them. I LOVE THEM!

[joeybee12]

3. I don't dislike them...

...I just would like to spread the wealth; however, no good options to spread the wealth to...

[mmonk]

5. That's probably a little old now.

This will be the Canes 3rd conference final in the last 8 years.

[SteelPenguin]

2. Wait

Which team is owned by Disney?

[joeybee12]

4. See my edit...

...I guess I dislike Pittsburgh so much in my mind I saw them as Ducks!!!!!!

[SteelPenguin]

6. Come on

The worst you can come up with for the Penguins is that they were loved by an Ex-DU'er who was Banned? Like that doesn't apply to the Bruins or any other team. Try again please and give the Penguins the proper respect with additional bile. I'm not insulted enough.

At least make a crack about Crosby or Lemieux. Or a biased incorrect image of the city itself. Or a play on the cities name.

I expect much worse from a Boston sports fan.

[joeybee12]

10. If you want me to incult you...let me start with the officiating of the last two

Superbowls the "Stealers" were in...what a joke.

[SteelPenguin]

21. So...

The worst you can come up with about the Penguins involves the Steelers...

mmm kay.

[Forkboy]

12. Ok, your team is a bunch of dank tufts of rectal pubic hair.

Cancerous polyps on the anus of the NHL, and they play in a city that makes East Berlin look inviting.

Your turn. ;)

[joeybee12]

15. I think that pretty much covers it...

...although you might try to work the word "fetid" in there somewhere! :P

[SteelPenguin]

22. That's more like it.

Thank you.

And your team are Plague-ridden Barnacles on the side of a rotting city not worthy of human occupation.

[Forkboy]

24. LMAO

:rofl:

[Forkboy]

7. Go Hawks, baby!

And rooting for the Canes is easy. They play a great, hard working, honest style of hockey. Tough to not like the team, even after booting the B's out.

I have nothing against Detroit. They're the class of the league and have been for a long time. But yeah, they've had enough fun with the Cup for awhile.

The Penguins can go fuck themselves. I don't know why, but I have never liked that team, and I still don't. Which means they'll probably win. :)

[cboy4]

8. Listen to the Boston fan complain about a team in another

city winning too much. :spray:

[Forkboy]

9. LOL

Ok, I can now see why others hate us. :rofl:

[joeybee12]

11. I know...I'm terrible...thank God you never do that!

:eyes:

[cboy4]

17. WOOOOSH

That was the sound of the irony you missed flying over your noggin.

The Bay Area hasn't been the hub of winning lately, as opposed to Boston.

That's why I made the comment and therefore found it ironic that you would be whining about the Red Wings.

But happy to explain it to you. :hi:

[MrSlayer]

13. Of the four, I'd most like to see the Blackhawks win.

They haven't won since 1961, have a good young team and the best jersey in the league.

[joeybee12]

14. Yeah, I find myself just hoping the Whalers lose...n/t

[petronius]

16. Me too. I want a Chicago-Pittsburgh final, won by Chicago

Of course, since I never get what I want, I'll probably end up cheering for Detroit as they lose to Carolina...

[Captain Hilts]

19. I agree, Blackhawks ALL the way! nt

[1gobluedem]

18. I think it's great except for Carolina

I don't think cities below the Mason-Dixon line should have hockey teams. Plus I like Boston.

But I'm rooting for Detroit who can win the Cup every year as far as I'm concerned. Detroit is Hockeytown! And it needs the revenue from the finals. Go Wings!

[mmonk]

23. Bit of snob are we?

Too bad, we're back again.

[centristgrandpa]

20. looks fine to me

I would like to see a red wings-Pen match-up for the finals... Nothing wrong with the final four...

[ProfessorGAC]

25. What Does Our Corruption Have To Do With Hockey?

Notice i'm not disputing your accusation, merely wondering why you're down on the hockey team just because the politicians are dirty.

[Faygo Kid]

26. Pathetic. Go Wings!!

Geez, two of the original six teams in the West, Penguins coming off one of the great playoff series of all time, Carolina with talent and history - what the hell are you talking about?

Oh, did I mention - GO WINGS!

[Forkboy]

28. Man, look at those names.

Hockey royalty! :)

[mmonk]

27. Great line up. How could anyone ask for more?

Go Canes!
