Post #151,826 by boxley 4/19/04 4:07:56 PM Reply	Go habs!!!!! round here we would prefer Montreal for the second round, but if the Bruins win it means the winner of the leafs/sens, may there be a quadrouple overtime in that game if the bruins win. thanx, bill "You're just like me streak.

Post #151,837 by bepatient 4/19/04 5:12:51 PM Reply	Actually its my only "homer" sport. And only because I had lost interest in the game until I moved to this area. Was a much larger hockey fan in my youth living in Canada where I cut my hockey teeth watching Bobby Orr do amazing things in Boston. As a general rule, I've found it extremely difficult to root for the home team in the places I've lived. Its likely the hype that goes with having the local teams on TV, radio, advertising etc and me getting sick of seeing these guys all the time.

UNC Chapel Hill is the definitive case. I grew up in Southern California, so I was a very late coming hockey fan (circa 1992). Growing up I detested the Lakers and was a huge New York Knick fan (Earl the Pearl, Walt Frazier, Willis Reed, Dave Debuscher, Dollar Bill Bradley, Jerry Lucas, Phil Jackson and - my favorite - Hawthorne Wingo era). My two hockey teams have always been the Leafs and the Wings, but I pull hard for any original six team. Since becoming a regular hockey fan, I just can't watch any other sport. It all seems so slooowwwwww. Like during "March Insanity" Sunday night when Clarke was on 60 minutes. I turn the tv channel, good, I think, 2 1/2 minutes left in the basketball game and 20 minutes before 60 minutes is supposed to start. Time 60 Minutes actually started? 5 minutes late. No joke - it took 25 minutes to play 2.5 minutes of basketball. I thought, "Good God. How did I ever stand to watch this kind of snail race? You could play a full hockey period in the amount of time it takes these goobers to play 2.5 minutes of basketball!" I keep hoping for a Toronto-Detroit final. I thought this might be the year, but I dunno. Our guys are old and fragile. Gotta figure Belfour's back has a low probability of lasting that long. Plus, w/Mats out, we lose a lot. Oh well, tomorrow night is going to be very exciting.

In hockey you get one timeout. That's it! And you can't call one while the game is being played. I also don't understand how fans can be so excited at the start of the game when it's 4-2 when the score is going to reach 80-120 points. And then there are the fouls. I'm usually like "Why did the play stop?! A foul? That was a foul?!" Bunch of pussies. lister
