that makes 4 hurricanes participating this weekend, with 3 playing in the game. Best part? I have tickets.
Yes sir, that is my first cousin - plays in Russia now.
Okay, I get it - it's like picking out sides on the pond. I guess even the guy for the Raleigh Observer would like to see this spread to other sports.
Only one problem: have any of these athletes EVER played a pickup game where they just chose up sides and played? In baseball, I'm almost betting they haven't. Sandlot baseball games went out the window (at least for most US/Canadian players) back in the 1980's.

heehee, Kessel got picked last. Maybe if he'd try shooting from a different spot on the ice every once in a while...
See the problem with that is that you paid attention to the all star game. Whose bright idea was it to have it the same weekend as the NFL pro-bowl?
I don't see a problem with that at all. I don't think I could possibly care less about the NFL. I care even less about the NFL than I do for the CFL, which is already very little.
who watches the pro-bowl? That game is even less relevant than a college bowl.
I had to ask a friend of mine what the pro-bowl was, she informed it is American football's most boring game, because all the players are too afraid of injuring themselves before the superbowl to really play. Is that about right?
That was right even when it was held after the Super Bowl. The game sucks.
It's not just injury concerns. Even with top level athletes Football isn't a game where you can put a team together in a week and expect high level results.
What can I say? Those crazy Americans love them some football.
Then you changed your point. Your initial point was :
My argument was just that the NFL is irrelevant to me, which has nothing to do with the NHL's audience in the USA.
GOALIE FIGHT
You call that a goalie fight? This is a goalie fight:
Though I have to admit, that looked like a solid left.
How do you "grow in the States" when every single major media outlet in Canada wants all the teams in new markets to move to Canada?

Oh, and that was a two-hit fight for Johnson.
Johnson hitting DiPietro, and DiPietro hitting the ice.
Turns out Johnson broke DiPietro's face.
Predators 3, Red Wings 0. SUCK IT DETROIT
I was a bit worried about that too. It was a clean hit, its unfortunate, but even DiPietro doesn't seem to have any regrets or ill-will about it.
Yeah Baby.
SK's one-handed shorty on Old MacDonald = Play of the YEAR.
Oh, and the CMoA of the night - intermission band. Small Time Rock Stars, a popular cover band in the Music City, were joined by some season ticket holder. Vince something. Oh, and he had a golfing buddy of him there from Phoenix, too. Funny, he didn't look like an "Alice".
Who are you talking about? Vince Gill? I went to a whole lot of games when I lived in Nashville, and the Small Time Rock Stars were the highlight of intermissions usually. Usually cover bands are really lame.
Oh Nashville what were you thinking? You got Mike Fisher for a 2011 1st round pick and a 2nd/3rd round pick in 2012? And you called him a top 6 forward? He's top 6 only for teams that are bottom 6 not for play-off bound teams like yourself.
But we all knew this trade was coming, it was just a question of when and for how much.
