Yeah, I'm obviously going with my home team. Go sens go!

It's just the Ducks Kharaen.

Who watches hockey? Then again, I do like ducks. The ones used to people are fun to follow around, they just waddle away, pause, look at you, quack, keep waddling... *votes ducks*

Pfft, bloody yanks. 1-0 in the first minute, take that ducks? I'm having poultry for supper tonight!

Half hour before the game, I predict a win from Ottawa at 2-1. Maybe with some overtime, but no more then one period overtime.

What kind of mascot names are these?

Ducks lead 2-0, things don't look so good, oh well =/

Since I have no real loyalty to any sports team, I usually just pick based on mascot or something. Looks like I picked right with hockey.

Oh, also, I'm taking suggestions for a baseball team to tell people I like.

Meh, the Senators played pretty horribly last night. Only 17 shots on goal. In game 1, there was only 20. They better pick up the pace, or they won't get the cup, and I'll be very sad.

The Senators have a lion as their mascot, if anyone was curious.

That lion looks like its having a very bad hair day.

I don't keep up very much with hockey, though my dad is a huge fan =P Read in the city newspaper that in the history of the playoffs, for the team that wins the first 2 games, 29/30 times they also go on to win the cup

I protest the lack of a "hockey is for pansies! GO AWAY" option in that poll.

Yay Orange County!

I went to a hockey game once. I hadn't any idea what was going on for most of it, and just cheered when my friends did. It was fun though, especially when they'd slam each other into the walls and stuff. And then these two guys got into a really awesome fight on the ice.

All-in-all it was pretty entertaining, though I still don't know much about the game itself.

Hockey is like football or soccer, save it's on ice, and it isn't boring. Instead of a ball, you have a puck and you try and get it in your opponent's goal. Reason black men don't play very often is because of all the white men with sticks. It's about the only sport you see that is completely dominated by Caucasians. Wussies would likely die in this sport, so likely Verithrax wouldn't survive long. Lots of hitting, tussling, fighting can occur with physical teams, which Anaheim is. Ottawa is supposed to be a speed team though, so one reason they aren't being successful in the finals is because they aren't using their speed and trying to do the game Anaheim style, which they do alright, but kind of suck at.

Yeah right. Hockey, like American "football", is for pansies - I mean, they practically wear full plate while playing that; it's downright silly. You couldn't crack a rib while playing that stuff because of all the padding.

Or maybe hockey players are just that fat.

you forgot the 'who cares' option

Despite the padding, broken bones, concussions, loss of teeth is still fairly common. It'd like to see how well you'd bode after have a cudgel snapped across your neck or having a puck slapshot into your eye. A soccer ball is decidedly a hundred times softer then a frozen puck.
