I'm a Flyers fan. Currently, they're playing the Rangers in their last game of the regular season, winning 3-2, and if they get at least 1 point, they secure the 4th spot in the Eastern Conference. They're playing the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round, which will be a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference Finals.

I am actually currently in Pittsburgh because I go to school there, so I'm sick of hearing about the Penguins. I'm glad that I'll be home for the semi finals and finals of the Stanely Cup Playoffs.

If the Flyers fail, then I think I'd like to see the Blackhawks do well.

AHHHHHHHHHH STUPID PHILADELPHIA SPORTS TEAMS ALWAYS SCREWING AROUND.......

Flyers fan here as well. I can't believe we blew that last period and now have to go on the road. Ah well. This should be a hell of a series and I think the Flyers match up okay with the Pens. The series was 2-2-2 this year which is pretty much as even as it gets obviously. I really don't know who will win. The Flyers haven't played their best recently.

The NHL is still around?

You bet. It's the best sport around.

Baseball - slow and boring.

Football - brutish and homoerotic.

Basketball - tedious and repetitive.

But hockey! That's a true gentleman's game.

How is the NHL not brutish and homoerotic?

Well it's brutish but the players don't tend to tackle, grapple, and grope each other as much.

I was just giving you a hard time! I like hockey, I'm just mad there isn't a team nearby.

Why then cheer for the Canucks, my good friend!

They have it all: grit, heart, determination, Swedish twins, solid goaltending, and a dream to win their first cup in franchise history.

I kinda laugh at this though. I love hockey, but most of the fights do involve a ton of tackling, grappling, and groping.

Yes but that's fights which only happen every so often. The very sport of football is built around this homoerotic behaviour.

It exists in its core.

God damnit I'm so happy that we're playing St.Louis.

Dylan...the real question is now on Wednesday, what do we do about Hockey/Lost?

Canucks are on at 7. Lost is on at 9.

Dylflon · 04-13-2009, 02:40 PM

We watch hockey, then we go on the A channel website and stream Lost the next day.

I don't watch hockey because you can't see the puck. :\
