The Rest of the NHL

[Rome]

It's warm and non-alcoholic, though...

It's purgatory, not hell. I'm thinking that they have cold, alcoholic beer, but it's Coors Light.

I heard in Hell they have Guinness on tap.  And incest.

Fleury should have had to play last night with this guy

375,000 at the parade today.....the same route where 300,000 showed up for the Steelers one.  Weak...

in a city as small as pittsburgh i wouldnt call that weak....what i dont get is how did the pens parade outdraw the steelers....theres no possible way a flyer parade would outdraw the phillies much less an eagle parade

[Sgt PSN]

especially when the 2000 census had pittsburgh's population at a little more than 300k and the metropolitan area at around 2.5 mil. 

[QB Eagles]

Weather was temps in the 70s and crystal clear sky today. Weather during the Steelers parade was mid-20s, light snow.

[QB Eagles]

The number I don't get is that attendance at the Pirates game was 18,000 during Game 7 and since I was there I can confirm that number didn't look to be inflated very much. A pretty good number of Tigers fans there too. Didn't anyone tell them a hockey game was on?

[ice grillin you]

even zesty baseball is a million times more popular than hockey

[SD_Eagle5]

Hockey as it stands right now is an unwatchable sport. I'll always watch the Flyers, but the days of just catching a normal game are over, unless there's a superstar playing and then I might tune in for a period or two. Bettman royally farged the league in a time when people in general love contact sports and fighting (UFC's popularity as an example).

[ice grillin you]

while the sport pales in comparison to the 80's its ten million times better now than in the 90's and pre strike aughts

im certainly not gonna sit down and watch anaheim pheonix unless absolutely nothing else is on but id definitely watch a random st louis chicago game for example...the problem is even in its improved post lockout state its still not nearly as good as the nba and since they run at the same time ill always watch the basketball over the hockey if the games playing are close to equal

[Seabiscuit36]

LOL at rejecting Basille's offer again. 

[MDS]

over 8 mil watched game 7, highest rated game in 32 years

im sure next years carolina/vancouver final will carry that momentum

[SunMo]

goddamn gay Penguins and their cup

[rjs246]

There are no words for how angry that makes me.
