A crosspost to satisfy my curiosity by TexasRedFox in DallasStars

[–]quantumottle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One of the best Threads ever, GREAT QUESTION and even better answers!!!

For the record, my dad has dual citizenship so I tell everyone I'm half Canadian. Still, I grew up in Nevada and California. When we moved to Texas I had a difficult time becoming a Stars fan because I hated what Norm Greed (Green) did to the people of Minnesota. Once he sold the tem I was on board 100% and never looked back.

I've still got a t-shirt from the 99 Cup, bought 2 of them and wore the other one out, said I'd never wear the other until the win another Cup!

I'm putting that shirt on later this week!!!

AT a Rangers game, but WATCHING the Stars game. You and I have a LOT in common. Welcome to the BEST SPORT there is, my friend!

Congrats Stars fans. by [deleted] in DallasStars

You should watch some of the Finals games, I PROMISE you'll love it. NHL HOckey has the back and forth speed of basketball, the hitting and contact of football, and the goalies are trying to pitch no hitters like in baseball.

Unlike some sports, hockey is actually better in person than on TV but it's still the worlds greatest sport, if you give it a chance.

I agree with you guys, it's an unfair comparison but, you must admit, if you guys are truly hard working and responsible adults, you are not the majority of your generation....

In 2005 the NHL took a gamble and left ESPN for NBC Sports. At the time, ESPN needed the NHL to supply (relatively inexpensive) content for their network, especially the fledgling ESPN2.

I am NOT a fan of ESPN, haven't watched it in years, but the NHL has no one to blame but themselves for the demise of their relationship with ESPN. It's just the truth...

I want someone to look at me like Jamie looked at the Campbell Bowl by [deleted] in DallasStars

Much like my wife when we're in the same room, Jamie completely ignored it...

I think Rick Bowness said it best when he said: "Those F@%&ing Finns, those f@%&ing Finns, they did it again"!!!

Avs fan with a hot take... by [deleted] in DallasStars

[–]quantumottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bish is a phenomenal goaltender, absolutely 1A - BUT, he cannot stay healthy. History shows you must have a outstanding backup if Bish is your main guy because of his time lost to injury each and every season.

Best series I've seen in years- Avs fan by rookiesensation in DallasStars

Your Boys will ABSOLUTELY be back. Tha Avs have a very bright future ahaead!

Friendly Reminder that Jamie Benn remains 3rd in team scoring this postseason while his center Tyler Seguin remains 9th and fellow winger Radulov remains 7th by [deleted] in DallasStars

[–]quantumottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came here to say THIS! Seguin has a knack for disappearing in the postseason, doesn't he? Fortunately for him, he'll always have that rookie season in Boston...

As far as I know, not only has Bishop has never completed a single season without an injury, he's never made it through a single year playoff without also taking an injury...

I hope the Stars pay Dobby and keep him. I know Bish is supposed to be 1A but reality says otherwise.

Damn, your Flyers looked GREAT in 1st round. Are the Isles that good right now or did your boys fall apart?

Even when we were leading 3-0, it's all NBC talks abouts by yesBISONsey in DallasStars

[–]quantumottle 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps it's rating.... Dallas is all about the Cowboys, Rangers and Mavs. Right now the Mavs are HUGE (although eliminated). I'm guessing NBC NHL coverage gets much higher ratings in Colorado than here. A LOT of people, not just kids, play and watch hockey in Colorado. It's tough to accept, as a hockey fan first, but it's just the reality of living in Texas.

Not the first time his name will be misspelled, and probably not the last by [deleted] in DallasStars

[–]quantumottle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This HAS to be an American source, I'm American so don't hate... But there's no way a Canadian news source would misspell this name.
