I actually didn’t watch any of the games, either, as I just wasn’t feeling it this year, despite the Hawks winning the conference. The plus side is now I don’t have the distraction of the playoffs while I’m working. It’s incredibly shameful that my Oilers picked up Chelsea Dagger as their goal song too. WTF, Oilers? ---

I think the OP is a secret hockey superfan that posted this to balance the scales a bit. I actually have video of him at a game. [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/vO_Bn4CVbYk/hqdefault.jpg "Vancouver Canucks and the Green Men") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO_Bn4CVbYk) ---

> [@pulykamell](#): > > Of course they do! The best part is Chelsea Dagger, precisely because it annoys the shit out of everyone but Hawks fans. Seriously? You have never met even _one_ Hawks fan who compared “C.D.” to a steaming hot bowl of sad?:dubious: Yeah, for too many reasons - Oilers…using “C.D.” as well…😕 Like…WHY? Are the selections really that limited, out there? Fuck, even “Barbie Girl” or “Millen-i-uuuuum” woulda worked better. Bad enough Canucks fans had to ripoff (from Bruins fans\*) the Rick Flair “Woooooooooooo!” after a goal announcement. \*Who are the worst vermin on earth, btw. Moreso than Eagles fans, even. ---

Two of the last three weeks, trivia was cancelled so the bar could show these fuckasses playing their stupid little playoff game on TV. Where do you play?

Hehehe…one down, three to go! > [@Ponch8](#): > > Time to revivify my zombie thread for a major announcement: the fucking local hockey team has been eliminated in 4 games in the first round! There will be no parade for these fuckasses. Trivia night at my usual pub will not be cancelled just so they can show these assholes playing hockey on TV. There will be no drunken idiots shouting in the streets celebrating a Stanley bowl. Woohoo!!! Oh shut up you stupid hipster. It’s called the Stanley CUP. Purposely calling it the Stanley Bowl just makes you sound pathetic. ---
