Pens announcers are awful.

Pretty ridiculous play by Booth. I'm looking forward to his unique approach to hockey.

No wonder every post of yours revolves around the Canucks. You live in the vastly inferior neighbouring city and are a fan of an inferior rival.

The Habs were just described to me as the Yankees of Hockey. I dunno if I could get behind that. Stars have been fairly successful/decent recently so they should be ok fan-wise, they don't need me.

I think I might go with the Islanders. The dynasty article on wiki talks about a lot of Candian teams, and the NHL / hockey is huge there so I would like to contribute to spreading NHL love in the US. Also, I like the islanders' colors. The Jets are another one that I could potentially watch, them and the Sabres despite the Sabre's relatively recent success. Guess I gotta just watch some games.

I can't wait until the Sabres actually win a Cup so we, as a fanbase, can let this go lol

I'm not even mad. It's kind of funny

I'm pretty sure the people here stole it from going to UDub football games who probably stole it from someone else.

I pay $1000 for a one bedroom that would cost $2000 in Vancouver for the same location.
I can buy a 6 pack of Kokanee at the grocery store for 7 bucks.
Seattle doesn't have an inferiority complex.

I pay $1880 for a 2-bedroom in the downtown core right beside our hockey stadium (which our city will pay for unlike yours) and our new football stadium (with the second largest screen in North America next to Dallas). I wouldn't buy Kokanee as it's an average beer and I'm pretty sure something like Alexander Keiths costs pretty close either side. I also feel superior to you.

"Shit's cheaper, therefore it's better".

Righto.

Duck fans, how do Foster and Cogliano look so far?
Click to expand...

Foster just played his first game and scored a goal off a wicked pull and snap from the blue line.

Cogliano was fast as fuck and set up some great plays.

So far, so good.

Problem is that it isn't the "same location". Because you'd still be stuck in Seattle.

Ah yes that far superior exotic Alexander Keiths. If they sold that piss here it would be half the price because we don't get gouged. It's going to be terrible when we have a new state of the art arena for the NHL and NBA to go along with our state of the art baseball and football stadiums. Let me know when you want to come down and hear a real crowd than the suits at Maple Leaf West arena.

I agree. Cogliano has been pretty good. His speed has created a lot of chances. Unfortunately he hasn't been able to finish. I'm liking him so far though.

You most likely live in a shitty suburb like Burnaby or New West and have to pretend you live in Vancouver. But hey waiting tables is tough in this economy so keep your head up and you'll get to live in a real city one day.

I'm guessing you prefer Boxed White Wine over a nice bottle of vintage wine, it must be better if it's cheaper?

Also on the crowds thing:

Just left Vancouver (born and lived 26 years) for work in Victoria, so you're temporarily correct. But I'll be going back soon so you'll have to return to your eminent wrongness.

I like how you abandoned the 'Seattle > Vancouver' argument and began to criticize the suburbs. Well played.

Except the economy isn't bad in Vancouver. Unlike living in the United States that doesn't regulate their banks, we weren't hit as hard and were able to recover.

You've obviously never been to a Seahawks game.
Remember this past Playoff run for the Canucks? Surely you do. Well it was embarrassingly dead in Rogers Arena. And the spoiled rich kids with too many daddy issues outside that decided to flip cars don't count.
I would much rather live in Seattle after living in both cities.

1) We're going to build a new state of the art arena.
2) You get gouged to live in Vancouver compared to Seattle, my personal economy is great.
3) Seattle didn't get hit that hard, Microsoft and Boeing are doing just fine.

Did you go to any of the playoff games at Rogers Arena. I went to 3 of them and they were ELECTRIC. The fans would go crazy. I had a corse throat and sore arm (from towel waving) after each one.

You may have a point during our regular season as we do have a lot of corporate seating which leads to casual fans watching the games, but when it's serious hockey time (playoffs), these fans are some of the loudest out there.

And you're also comparing 18000 to 65000 occupancy seating.

Finally, come talk to us when you actually have that new stadium. Until then, we have the superior stadiums (Rogers Arena and BC Place (second largest screen in North America again)).

EDIT - Oh, and I have been to a Seahawks game. It was horrendous having to watch that team play football.

Oh yeah no doubt, but the new BC Place is amazing too and superior (imo).

We were talking about the quality of a stadium, not the quality of a sport (no one is going to deny that the NFL is miles ahead of the CFL and that the NFL draws much larger crowds).

Oh, and Henry Buris is actually benched for playing so poorly.

Do I really need to visit BC Place to compare it to Century Link?
I went to BC Place to watch a game about 23 years ago, that's all that needs to be judged really. Seriously man, get real.

There's a reason they don't build stadiums like BC Place anymore. They're fucking shit.
