Can't speak for everyone, but for me, it was a combo of never really liking them all that much, and having their music overplayed to the extreme on every radio station in north america (or so it seemed). If I never hear them again it'll be too soon.

So i guess you like rush then?

I really thought the Thrashers last year would have did what the Panthers have done this year.

I don't hate them to the point of hunting them down or anything, but I can't stand their plastic music. It feels like it was manufactured in a factory somewhere in the US south to me. In fact, I feel this way about most contemporary country (I'm looking at you, Zac Brown Band).

Hold on a second... You're calling them plastic music with that avatar?

I hate these Pens worse....I'm more of a fanatic now though. Those Devs teams were terribly frustrating, but at least I could tip my cap. Cant do it with these Pens. Its been sweet savoring this the last few days.

I was a teenager for the Devils. Claude Lemeuix was the best villian. Guy didn't do anything regular season, and then boom, he's a stud. Sounds like someone else we know.


I think its also because that was my favorite flyers team with the LOD, though this team is right there.

That day they traded those two was like the 9/11 of NHL offseasons. When that happened it split the fan base and had the sports world scratching it's head. A lot of people thought the flyers would be cooked this year. How those moves paid off is drastic improvement. I think basing it off the point system is also flawed analysis and not giving the award out properly. Geez whoever is voting for these awards needs to be relieved of duty.

The issue to me is the same as the Calder. Homer deserves recognition but the arguments for the three who WERE nominated are also very good. One could also argue that Giroux may not be the top three in Hart trophy voting if you include Malkin, Quick, Henrik, Stamkos, etc. ( I think he will be a top 3) But I could argue quite convincingly that Jonathan Quick is the MVP of this season.

I'm kind of okay with the calder because Read is old for a rookie. But all season long the guy with the most goals was mentioned as the favorite and read finishes with the most goals and oh wait he's too old. Well make up your mind. I'm sorry I heard all the arguments Malkin doesn't deserve the hart over Giroux.

I can't take his voice. It's like Freddie Mercury and Willie wonka's DNA was extracted to form a test tube baby that is their lead singer. YEs I like a lot of stuff by Queen so that's not a knock on them I'm just saying.

I only know a couple of their songs, but I'd sit through Bush. Otherwise, agreed. Now, if I knew it meant meeting some Flyers I'd be there in a heartbeat

I liked Nickelback's first album, which was alt rock-y. Then they became oddly pop and not in a good way. But I saw them with Puddle of Mud and 12 Stones opening for 3 Doors Down and thought they were incredibly unprofessional in concert.

It's a free country. You can like Nickelback and hate Rush if you want. No worries.


(I mean, that'd make you an idiot, but that's your right if you so choose)

I don't really care who wins this game, as long as it's not the Devils.

With all these game 7's in the East the entire Flyers team should be healthy. This is going to be a long week.

When the NJ/FLA series started so late, you just knew it was going to go 7 games.
