The Madison police just came out and said no charges press and no complaints brought to them about Kane as well. Story will die until the next one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RockRaines 59 Posted May 23, 2012 QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 23, 2012 -> 09:27 AM) Oh for a franchise 'tender. I was talking about this last night. Left in the playoffs are 4 teams with hot goalies. Phoenix ran into a hot goalie with an actual team around him. And its hard to root for LA since their fanbase is awful, but I hate both teams in the east.

Phoenix is one team that pulled a hot goalie out of their ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LittleHurt05 324 Posted May 26, 2012 I have really enjoyed the playoffs this year, but Kings/Devils is pretty meh to me. I'm sure I'll watch some, but not gonna go out of my way for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Critic 2 Posted May 26, 2012 Go Kings, I guess, but I don't really care that much. I'll watch if I happen upon it, but I won't seek it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He played 81 games all year, then got benched in the playoffs, I wasn't sure he would come back. Personally, I thought he was a solid 4th liner. Kicked some ass, but would also provide the occasional offense too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's something a non-hockey fan would say. Also, if you're a fan of the NHL (or any sport for that matter), I don't know how you don't watch the championship series for that given sport.

I'm beyond impressed that at this age and what he's gone through with injuries, he can backstop them to the finals. I won't be for one team heavily over the other, which is usually the case.

Of course they're playing good hockey, they're in the championship round. I just don't care about either team, and as I've said before, I need to have a rooting interest to watch. Watching just to watch would be like watching a Bears game for me. If it's on and I'm in the room, fine, but I'm not searching it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I said, it's more of the "Stanley Cup Finals hockey is epic and as a hockey fan I want to follow until the conclusion of the season." It's the biggest stage for a sport you (in theory) enjoy. That or I guess you're really just a Hawks/Wings fan. It's like watching a movie for 2 hours then with 5 minutes left, bailing. I know people do this for other sports, but I just don't get it. If you have no interest in watching the championship game/series for a sport, you aren't really a fan of that sport, you're more of a fan of a particular team than anything.

I do walk out of movies or concerts if they suck. The money's already spent, so there's no incentive to stick around to see the end of something I'm not enjoying. Just FYI, the "not a fan" routine has zero effect on me. I watch (or don't) for my own reasons and I couldn't care less if that makes me "less of a fan" to anyone. I can't pretend to care about the New Jersey Devils, and I only very, very slightly care more about the LA Kings, so this series holds almost no interest for me regardless of when it happens and if a trophy is on the line.

IlliniKrush 0 Posted May 26, 2012 (edited) Again, you do what you want, but you can't really be a big NHL/hockey fan if a championship series means nothing to you. Apparently it's only certain teams for you, not the game itself. My point is that it doesn't matter who the teams are. And how is NJ/Kings sucking when they haven't played a game yet? The concert/movie analogy doesn't really add up there. Edited May 26, 2012 by IlliniKrush Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve9347 243 Posted May 26, 2012 I have no idea who I want to win, but I know Marty Brodeur getting another championship would be awesome.
