Why does support for hockey always equal bashing of basketball? I think there is a (small) anti-NBA thread around here somewhere.

Half of the Hawks team is concussed. Maybe that can be used as an excuse for completely sucking this year. The "fans" are disappearing again...

Im pretty hammered right now.

Why does support for hockey always equal bashing of basketball?

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Which part of the consecutive sellout streak points to the fans disappearing again?

And as far as injuries go, 4 words:

RIP Hamilton

Because the road teams wear white and the home teams wear darks. WTF is that confusing shit?

I'm watching Hawks highlights and I see one of the Hawks scored a goal. Here I am assuming they're playing a road game because they're wearing red. But then the crowd starts cheering. I'm like, "Why is the crowd cheering for the road team? Oh yeah....because the ROAD TEAM IS WEARING WHITE!"

Makes no sense to me.

It turns into the equivalent of the "Cubs/Sox argument". I didn't really want to take it down this path, but said car crash was no different than Bobby Hurley, Jay Williams, or Lance Briggs and his Lambo.

Just saying.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

and Boyd, I dont think you wanna use the Excitement argument.

Hockey will die in this town again. You'll see.

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

Sex Offenders And NHL Success: An Astonishingly Accurate New Metric

I'm not big on advanced stats in hockey. It's not because I don't think they're valuable, but because it's tough to translate the concepts to what I'm seeing on the ice. It's my own ignorance, yes, but for a new generation of hockey metrics to take hold, they'll have to be more relatable to the average fan. Like this one, which could not be simpler: the number of sex offenders near the arena has turned out to be an excellent indicator of team success.

The brainchild of Megalodon at Battle of California, I give you SONA. ("Sex offenders near arena." See? Intuitive is good!) By combing a national sex offender database, he put together a count of registered sex offenders living within 1.5 miles of every American NHL arena. That was in December. Revisiting it now, with less than a month to go in the regular season, the results are stunning: of the six teams surrounded by the most rapists and perverts, five are in the top six in the NHL points race.

There's a lesson here, and it's that correlation does not equal causation, not that kiddy diddlers will have more of an impact than Alexander Radulov on the Preds' Stanley Cup chances. And also: what the hell is going on in Nashville and St. Louis?

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Hey, what was the score of the Hawks game last night?

Oh wait

It's more fun to be a victim

There will never be an effective vaccine. I'll never get one anyway.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

You showed us Prick!

Fixed. And you're welcome...

You can do as many laughs as you want when you are laughing at the hockey lovers who have nothing to watch this winter.

Looks, its spany watching the Red Wings v Lightning game!
