Sports discussions: Football, Pie throwing, Chinese chequers, etc.

I'd agree mainly because the goaltending for the Flyers is so damn awful. It can't help that they keep pulling guys mid-game...

We can also catch the occasional game on Sportsnet, 'cept I can't see too many Edmonton games. Sportsnet is divided into regions, and they play the "local" team. So I can catch a fair number of Canucks games, but if I want to see an Edmonton game I have to wait for one on HNIC, or when they are playing the Canucks. And I can't afford NHL Center Ice either... it's $220 for the season. Just a bit too much for me to watch the Oilers get their asses kicked.

Word. I definitely can't afford that. I know about the local game thing as well, another person I talk hockey with is a Canucks fan that lives in Alberta and she has the same problem as you with having to watch a team she doesn't care about as much.

In their defense, at least one of them was an injury...
I can't fathom how they expect the goaltender to have any confidence in their game if they keep getting pulled from a game.

Tell her I'll switch.
Oilers fan in BC, and Canucks fan in Alberta... WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?!
(I'm so glad you didn't say she was a Leafs or a Flames fan, though. I would have had to track her down and smack her. )
