I'm overfuckinjoyed myself.....The only season longer than NASCAR. comes to an end with the championship going to that cold and icy Great Lakes state and hotbed of hockey....North Carolina? Actually I thought NC was the home of most NASCAR teams.............................and NASCAR is talking about having an event in Canada.

Somethng kinda' strange in all of this but whatever it is, hockey is at least done for awhile...not too long, but awhile.

They ought to combine it with basketball and football. Play 'em all on skates at the same time and end ALL the seasons sooner. Baseball too.

I vote for Rapaire's idea...

But if they do that, I want the uniform to be a spandex tutu and Dorothy Hamill hair-do. And big-ass pompons on their skates.

I sure enjoyed that year without hockey! Hey...maybe if global warming gets serious, they won't be able to cool the rinks!.....No? well, it was a thought.

Make 'em play naked except for their razor-sharp skates. It will increase caution among the players.

Well, why not? There are already NASCAR type events in Canuckistan. Besides the regular races. "Baby NASCAR" events. As a matter of fact, there are a lot of NASCAR bodies and frames and more built right here in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. My buddy runs an Aeroquip (hydraulic hose, fittings, etc. from Eaton Corporation) franchise here in Moncton and they have shows where some of the top drivers attend. Of course, around here, the drivers do attract attention, but the NASCAR ladies bring in the lads. You oughtta seen the chick from Snap-on!! Ratchet that, yes me zon!

I'd be happy if there was a summer pro league I could watch. I've missed the Leafs since elimination, and the playoffs since the night before last. Can't wait for next season...sigh.

Go Leafs Go!

Keep your stick on the ice.

Peace, Mooh.

The team from our state won the Stanley cup, but it was a bitter-sweet victory. We've been rooting for the Senators for years.

Ah well... still, I really do think the spandex tutus, Dorothy do(s), and big-ass pompons would give them a competitive advantage.

You know they'd be skating fast if they were dressed like that.

I don't watch much hockey through the regular season, I do watch the playoffs. I agree that it goes on too long. It used to be finished in March or April, now it's almost the end of June.

'Spaw, if the Bluejackets had been in the final I'm sure you would have felt differently.

"Arrogant Worms The Hockey Song lyrics"

Me work hard five days a week
Sweeping garbage from the street
Come home not want book to read
Not 'nuff pictures for me see
Sit right down in favourite chair
Wearing only underwear
Favourite night is saturday night
'cause me can watch hockey fights
Me like hockey! me like hockey!

Me no like pro basketball
'cause me short and they all tall
Baseball slow like forrest gump
'cept when robbie spits on ump
Wrestlemania not so great
Me like to see hulk hogan skate
Tv soccer not that hot
You play bad then you get shot
Me like hockey! me like hockey!

Swedish players must be geeks
'cause they still got own real teeth
Not like finnish players names
What's a teemu anyway?
Russians worst in history
Got stupid names like valerie
Me like sergei federov
Me like him more if head were off
Ha ha ha!
Me like hockey! me like hockey!
Me like hockey! we like hockey!

Please mister linesman let the players fight
Please mister linesman let the players fight
Please mister linesman let the players fight
Please mister linesman let the players fight
Let them fight, let them fight, let them fight
Let them fight, let them fight, let them fight
Let them fight, let them fight!

Friends come over put game on
Argue then we lay bets down
Got bag of chips and case of bud
Should last 'til end of first period
But yankees they win the world cup
Me think they cheat use glowy puck
Maybe if we want to win her
Maybe we should play in winter
Me like hockey! me like hockey!
Me like hockey! me like hockey!

Yeah!

Lyrics

The Hockey Song (Smith, James, Good and Phillips) ©1992

Performed & written by Jughead.

So there I was, over in Paris
Eating wine and drinking cheese
And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I'm from Canada"
And he says "Zoot Allure, mon Dieu, you are from Canada? Do you play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?

Chorus
Well, I play Air hockey, Ball hockey, Barn Hockey, Bubble Hockey, Field hockey,
Floor hockey, Ice hockey, Kitchen hockey, Road hockey,Roller hockey, Table hockey, Twist hockey
And I play hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey,
hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey,hockey all the time!
Take shots!

So there I was way out in California
And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from dude?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I'm from Canada"
And he says "Wow! Where are you from dude?"
And I says "Look I'm from Canada"
And he says "Wow. If you're from Canada? Do you like, play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?

Chorus

So there I was way down under in Australia
And this guy comes up to me and he says
" Where are you from?"
Well, I says "Yeah, I'm from Canada"
And he says "Do right, honey child. If you're from Canada? Do you play hockey?"
And I says "Do I play hockey?

Chorus

He shoots. He scores!

Well, here's my favourite hockey song.

Hockey

Jane Siberry

winter time and the frozen river
sunday afternoon
they're playing hockey on the river
rosy...
he'll have that scar on his chin forever someday his girlfriend will say hey
where...
he might look out the window...or not
you skate as fast as you can 'til you hit the snowbank(that's how you stop)
and you get your sweater from the catalogue
you use your rubber boots for goal posts
ah...walkin' home

don't let those sunday afternoons
get away get away get away get away
break away break away break away break away

this stick was signed by jean belliveau so don't fucking tell me where
to fucking go...
on sunday afternoon
someone's dog just took the puck-he buried it it's in the snowbank...your turn
they rioted in the streets of montreal when they benched rocket richard it's
true...
don't let those sunday afternoons
get away get away get away get away
break away break away break away break away

the sun is fading on the frozen river
the wind is dying down
someone else just got called for dinner
rosy
hmm...sunday afternoon

Well, that NC team is really the transplanted New England Whalers (our sad pathetic team when I was a CT resident) nee the "Boston Whalers" ... and we know what a powerhouse BC and New Hampshah and Dartmouth have become, rivalling the WCHA teams nowadays when the only mystery used to be whether Minnesnoter ("Heeeerrrbiieeee!!!" of Miracle on Ice fame) or Wisconsin (Bob Johnson, who didn't do quite so well) would be the NCAA champs.

More power to NC (those f***ing ingrates, who deserted their loyal fans in Hartford), and my condolences to Ron Francis, who worked mighty hard for many long years trying to get the Whalers to be close to a pro club....

Cheers,
