Hockey Player Sex Riot: No you know what I’m going to show all the tags I used on that last...

strawberryslady:

No you know what I’m going to show all the tags I used on that last post. Because they pretty much explain perfectly why I can’t cheer for Winnipeg, why I hate when people overwhelmingly stan for them even though they have uh YET TO PLAY A GAME, a connection I think people will be able to…

Protip: If you’re this ridiculously over the top ~in mourning for a relationship that you’re still going on about it as though everyone related to it has personally offended you and shot your puppy, 2 months later, despite only having been in the relationship for maybe 6 months, there is something wrong.

I have to stop reading this idiot’s tumblr

I enjoy hating Canada and the Peg’s new team and want to call them the Whatevers forever because it’s just that hilarious and I hate them because Canadian hockey fans are such douches and they’re especially giant douches about non-traditional markets. The way Canada treated Atlanta fans is absolutely horrible and all I want to do is mock Canada and the Peg and cheer for Atlanta fans.

But these two or three tumblrs are full of the most self-righteous, stupid comments that speak to the fact that the people making these statements know nothing about hockey, the NHL or anything else relating to hockey.

They’re also not able to admit that Atlanta is a tough market to crack and that everyone has trouble trying to get into it. It’s too alluring not to try, because Atlanta is a major metropolitan city and a hotbed of growth. There’s so much money in the area and so much money to be made if someone could just manage to get a sport to take hold and really flourish. It makes sense to me that so many groups try to make it work, but thus far, nothing has.

They’re just so dumb and they don’t seem to be able to read or understand anything that’s happening… why are they so dumb?

Hockey Player Sex Riot: bathtime: strawberryslady: It’s just funny how people don’t question...

It’s just funny how people don’t question the existence of the Lightning even though they’re one of the southernmost teams

BUT I THOT DA SOUF WUZN’T 4 HOCKEE BC IT IS HAWT THURR

oh god it hurt to write like that I LIKE LOGIC COME BACK TO ME

what are you…

It’s not about being a Southern Market, it’s about being a place hockey can flourish. Tampa Bay, Carolina and Nashville are examples of non-traditional, southern markets where hockey has flourished. Tampa Bay has ben the playoffs multiple times and won a Stanley Cup, Carolina won a Cup and has been to the playoffs nearly every other year since they started existing and Nashville has made the playoffs six years in a row despite being in an incredibly tough division in the Western Conference.

reason-says: strawberryslady: reason-says: strawberryslady: staalinthefamily: Jonathan: The thing about hockey is it’s not one of those rehearsed things. You watch basketball, and they have these set plays where they throw the ball on the court and run this set play. Then again, I’ve never played basketball, so maybe I don’t know what I am talking about.  Maybe my hatred for this man is clouding my understanding, but…what do y’all do before games, then? Don’t you discuss game strategies with your coach and such? It’s not EXACTLY the same, but it is PRACTICED (seriously what are those practices at the IceHouse for then) and rehearsed. Or am I just trippin’? I think maybe he means that, you know, between each set of plays in basketball they can pause and say “OK, here’s the next play”, whereas in hockey you sort of have to have a bunch of plays and scenarios in your mind and go with whatever situation presents itself. Because of the relative lack of downtime, and so forth. Also a basketball is a lot easier to control than a puck. I mean, *I* can control a basketball and keep it in my possession, and I’m the worst at all sports except kickball. A puck goes everywhere, and plays go out the window when it slides away from you. Good point. I can see it from that way, but then again you don’t have a problem talking like a human being, whereas we’ve discussed before how Toews seems to be lacking in that category. lol Yeah, he really seems to have a problem getting his points across. He should work on that, if he’s gonna be talking so much. They make public speaking lessons, Tazer. Maybe work on your extemporaneous conversation so you don’t sound like an ass? Do these people even understand how hockey works? I know they’ve been watching for about five minutes, but still. They’re complete morons.

reason-says: strawberryslady: I WOULD PAY GOOD MONEY TO SEE THIS OCCUR THIS MUST HAPPEN. Like Sharpie yelling at Tazer, it is the duty of all awesome men from the same towns as awful men to yell at them until their opinions are corrected. … Tim Thomas doesn’t believe in Global Warming. Why would he yell at Michael Moore?

The world is quiet here: lol yes I know what Toews said

strawberryslady:

thank you for explaining the obvious to me, person who reblogged it (I CAN’T REMEMBER WHO BECAUSE WHEN I HIT REFRESH, THE POST DISAPPEARED since tumblr is traveling in time AGAIN)

I KNOW he said it “sucks” that he doesn’t get to play the Airplanes on their new home turf and…

I swear it’s like the Thrashers fans on tumblr have all gathered together to be dangerously unhinged in a mass effort to out-dick Canada.

I thought I was sick to death of listening to Canadians be self-righteous about hockey (and I am) but it doesn’t hold a candle to this small, loud as hell subset of former Thrashers fans that Will. Not. Shut. Up.

OMG! One of the most well known Manitobans in the league is being asked about the relocation and he’s answering questions. Clearly he’s an evil human being who should be shunned and beaten.

I’ve been backreading both of these people’s tumblrs and they are so ridiculous. And I say that as a Philly fan. I dislike the Blackhawks as next as the next self-respecting Flyers fan, but the way these two have grossly misinterpreted Jonathan Toews is laughable. Learn to read, quit insisting that the only reason anyone wouldn’t be mad at Toews is because they’re blinded for love or something equally stupid

Tags: the place has no parks, it's easy to root against them. why are you making it so hard? Jonathan Toews tumblr drama i miss when i felt bad for Atlanta instead of rolling my eyes at them on tumblr backreading their tumblrs also informs me she's been a sports fan since january of this year so it's not like she's been a die-hard since 1997 isn't the expansion draft exactly what doomed atlanta to be so terrible from the beginning? what morons you didn't even know hockey existed a year ago her blog makes it really obvious that she doesn't know anything about hockey and has never bothered to learn maybe it's because she's so incapable of reading?
