I already sent a letter telling them to shove their FOX NEWS bullshit up their asses and reminded them that ice hockey is one of the lowest rated sports in North America. I suggest you do the same.

scroll down to "OTHER" and let loose.

5. Fuck the NHL! Ask them about their television ratings and fan support.
I did enjoy the outside game in Buffalo this year but it was an obvious gimmick to drum up fan support. Hockey games in person=good. Hockey games on TV=shitty. I'll take college football anyday.

9. I don't get what the problem is. Seems like a clever ad to me.

Not everyone lives and breathes electoral politics. Are you offended by this fact?

I've been a hardcore political junkie for years, but even I'm sick to death of the primary campaign. I haven't been a hockey fan since h.s. (more than 40 years ago), but at this point I would most certainly choose watching a hockey game over watching more "horse race" Clinton/Obama coverage in a heartbeat.

Not everyone enjoys the same obsessions.

14. Well, I hope you can find a way to relax -- hiding GD-P is a big help, for one thing.
Whatever is going to happen is going to be what happens. It's not worth getting stressed out about, imho.

My personal recommendation is to eat some dark chocolate and take a long steamy bath. ;)

Peace,

11. Lord Stanley's Cup is the oldest and most honorable trophy in US sports.
And wasn't Clinton the first US president to attend a hockey game? Why do you hate Clinton? :shrug:

15. Hockey rules! And there was a very funny photo at the end of the college football season
It showed two players sitting next to each other on the bench.

Their names:

"Dingle" and "Berry."

17. Hmmm... I see nothing wrong with this...
I don't think this was a rip into either Hillary or Obama, but instead just a 'rip' into how it's been pretty much the only thing that we hear about in the recent months.
