NRH Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I got another one from today debating fellow hockey fans on youtube."Lemieux would be an average player in today's league"and I said, if Jagr could put up 120 points as a 34 year old, then Mario would be able to do even better in his prime.he replies with, "Jagr is a far better player than lemieux"I stopped replying at that point, and I thought I was a Jagr fanboy. I imagine Jagr would be closer to Super Mario in points if they both played with today's rules back in their 20s but I still don't see Jagr putting up 200 points.

AJgoal Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 "A faceoff specialist is the same as a longsnapper in football" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread. But I shouldn't throw stones. I know I've said some boneheaded things. Although, I did hear once, without a hint of sarcasm, "Bettman is the best thing to happen to the game."

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Overheard amongst a group of college aged type people at a game at Xcel about a month ago who were obviously there for the drinks, camaraderie, and the fact the Wild were winning.While nothing inherently wrong with any of that, saying stuff like,"Hey, who's gonna get the next round?" , "Jay and I will...but let's wait till between innings so we don't miss any skating", "Ok".is mind numbing. SMH... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Oh and this one...from another general sports site recently. A thread topic was posed, "How many more Stanley Cups will the Blackhawks win with Toews and Kane on the team?" While many of the usual sane answers were things like one or two more, this one super homer fan, took great umbrage, and was pretty emphatic that no less than SEVEN more Stanley Cups would be won with Toews and Kane on the team because "They are that damned good". I guess no one told him the Stanley Cup is arguably the toughest championship to win in all of pro sports?Either that, or his homerism simply would not be denied......

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 @J0e Th0rntonSeriously?? LOL... That's worse than the one Bert Blyleven (former MLB pitcher and current Minnesota Twins broadcaster) messed up his lines during a pre-game, thought it was a taping and NOT live, and said something to the effect, "Oh man, I %#&*ed that one up, can we do it again?" His broadcast colleague says, "We can't, we're live" Hahah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH... OMG. Okay, so this isn't stupid on a message board, but maybe worth a story anyway. My boss at the time was a sponsor of the State College Spikes (Single A baseball) and would give us free tickets. We're sitting right on the home team dugout. My girls were 12 and 8 at the time. Anyway, the Spikes have two mascots. Their main one is Ike the Spike, who my two girls were dancing with on the dugout. He's out and about regularly. The second is named "Nookie Monster." Dead center-field has a little nook in the fence sponsored by a bank and he comes out and does something stupid and goes back in when there's a home run by the home team,. Kind of a baseball coo coo clock. So, my 8-year old, in particular, liked the mascots, but the 12 year old liked dancing with Ike the Spike. At one point around the 6th inning my youngest starts yelling "We want Nookie! We want Nookie! We want Nookie!" My wife and I, wide-eyed, start looking at each other in disbelief as people around us just started busting out laughing. We got her to sit down. A twelve-to-fourteen year old boy behind us sneered something about mascots. So later in the same game, something else went on with Ike the Spike. I forget what But the boy behind says fairly loudly, "looks like some of us are only here for the puppets!" My 12 year old stands up and wheels around, glares like only a girl can, and states emphatically, "I like puppets. I really like hand puppets!" With her middle finger raised, she makes a forward sweeping/scooping motion with the finger-raised hand and asks, "Would you like to be a finger puppet? Shut up or bend over!" The red-faced kid shut the hell up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blocker Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 It's all about the mascots for some people, I was at a sports show. Bunch of Red Sox, pro soccer players and other athletes. Our local minor league baseball mascot (a family friend), was catching his breath at a table. I sit down and exchange greetings. I get up to get a cup of coffee, and this little guy is staring at me. I say Hi to him. He just stares and says nothing. I lean down and repeat my hello. He points at "champ", our mascot, and says "Do you really know him?".

See?You were basically NOTHING to that kid unless you could confirm if you knew Champ or not.If Champ said you were cool, then you were in....

TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 From several NBA fans who have at least TRIED to become casual hockey fans: "I don't know. Kinda boring. 1-0 games. And the players seem to do the same thing over and over...." Because, you know, basketball players have SUCH variety in running from one side of the court to the other trying to shoot a ball through a net while getting slapped at by another player.

I told my buddy they should have 30 second line changes in Basketball where guys don't need to cardio conserve.

blocker Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 One of my kid's teammate's father was a surgeon. He could be a real jerk at games. One of these guys who holler "SHOOT" at kids who are trying to create chances on a power play. Anyway, one time we're in a rink in Quebec, and he's really on the refs. Pounding on the glass and kibitzing every call. A kid gets hurt. He goes on the ice to help. The ref stares at him and says "YOU'RE A DOCTOR?". Marty says "YOU'RE A REFEREE?".

JR Ewing Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 For what it's worth, baseballspeak has always been mixed in with my hockeytalk... "Let's see how he does with more at bats""He can hit up and down in the order" Etc, etc, etc... I don't know if those guys talking about innings are like that, but the possibility exists....... But they probably just don't know about hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
