"I have to admit it’s hard to be happy for new hockey cities when they win the Cup. Especially teams that are down South. I don’t know if you’ve ever gone to a game in the Southeast regions of the NHL, but it’s hilarious."
"I’m also guessing that there is some sort of advertisement about an upcoming rodeo or a gun show. If someone on the Whalers, I mean the Hurricanes, gets a hat trick, everyone gets a free side order of hash browns at the Waffle House."

Nah, not the "Waffle House"
We get free pit passes into the latest NASCAR race with a qualified ticket stub from the RBC center that matches the night of the game.
Or even if it’s in the same month. Even then they aren’t too picky.
Sheesh.

despite all the joking
I’ve gotten to see the Bruins play on the road in Chicago, St. Louis, Anaheim, and Carolina and I gotta say the south beat the midwest and L.A. by a mile in terms of atmosphere, at least at the games I was at. Fans in all 4 cities were polite and respectful (while still loud), but the Hurricanes were the only stadium where the fans were into the game. The place was crazy loud. Plus, tailgating. For a hockey game!
In fairness, the games I saw at the Hawks, Ducks, and Blues were all seasons when those teams were…not so good. But there was an electricity at the Canes that wasn’t at the others, for sure.
tailgating at a hockey is one of the best ideas i have ever heard. i think more people in new england would be hockey fans if it wasn’t, you know, usually 10 degrees outside.
….except the fact that there are no parking lots and nobody really drives to The Garden

I’m sure the MTBA would love to have you grilling with an open flame in the middle of their parking garage.

it wouldn’t be the first time….. :)
we used to tailgate for sox games on the top level with my mini grill.
this was before the sox won the series, of course…in that magical time when you could actually buy grandstand seats….for less than 400 dollars.
I almost want the Sox to back to being .500 for a year or two so all the bandwagon fans go away. I miss the days when you could walk up on gameday and buy tickets.

Hey, as long as you guys keep beating
the Spankees, I’ll be happy with the Bosox.
Bosox, there’s got to be a better name. Sounds like something you go to the docs to get shot of.

I was once at B's game........
an I swear on Yazzo’s soul, I sawr a contest where dey waz givin away a livah transplant. I mean wat a great idear!! After all, most of us are a bunch a lagah guzzlin stevedores anyways. I’m a tird generation longshorem’n myself and I down a PBR wit a rawr egg it every mornin’ before I head off to my shift at da harbah. So, ya know, if’n I won dat contest, even if I didn’t need da livah myself, I’m sure it would come in handy real soon for one a my bruddahs or sistahs. I mean, yeah I’d radder have a bran noo cah, like an Excalade or a Buick LeSabah, but I tawt da livah gimmick was a great idear!
Whats a hat trick?
That must be when everybody throws their cowboy hats out on the ice. Plus hash browns are damn good. Then again they don’t know what sweet tea is either.
Sweet tea is what the rest of the world calls iced tea….I believe we threw all of ours in Boston Harbor.

I think y’all throw everything in the Boston Harbor thats why it looks(or smells) like it does. Actually ice tea doesn’t have sugar in it.
Who drinks iced tea without sugar? I think iced tea or sweet tea whatever you want to call it is gross anyways, but combined with lemonade it is delicious.

That, my friend, is an Arnold Palmer
And you are correct.

You mean "Diabetes in a glass"?
Nothing like iced tea that doubles as pancake syrup.
