Both great answers but no cigar. I guess I should have explained a little more. They are on roller skates with lots of elbows and hair pulling. Two teams of 5 I think. Both played by women and men. Gee it does sound like the Democratic primaries.

Is that roller derby? Their version of an altercation during a race around the track?

I believe you have it Susan. You get a by, buy, bye, whatever in the first rounds of the Playoffs.

All sports, all the time, that's me. :~)

There is a really sleazy "reality" show on US TV (VH1) where a houseful of girls are competing to be chosen as the Luv Bunny for a "rock star." One episode (I was waiting for my better half to come home from work late one night) had the girls doing a roller derby, while pushing a stroller with one of those babydolls in it that records how well you take care of it-- with REAL roller derby queens chasing them and out to schmear the "baby." There was no hockey on that night-- can you imagine????-- but the roller altercations were hilarious!

Pirate bedtime stories also resonate a lot like hockey. :~)

Go hockey!

GO PENS!

GO MUDCATTER HOCKEY RATS!

It has been the tradition at Mudcat to encourage one another in one's encouragement of their teams, unlike the "trash talk" so common at umptyzillion other hockey discussion boards. Pseudolus began that tradition last year:

....I have an idea...a small wager...no money, just pride. I like my Flyers and you like your Senators. The bet is this, whoever's team goes furthur wins the bet. The loser has to re-open this thread sometime next Spring and enter a post singing the praises of the winner's team. Aine seems pretty proud of her Stars, she may want in also. Just for fun, and bragging rights! whatdaya think?

Go Flyers,
Frank

Pseudolus' first hockey thread (CLICK) also had quite a few useful links in it, in addition to the ones in this thread.


Let's make this year's team list-- who's in, and who's your team?
