Hockey cards stink

Actually hockey sucks but was trying to be nice in the title.

Apperantly we hijacked someones very entertaining thread discussing the merits and popularity of hockey. So, like I said, hockey sucks.

    If you stopped submitting worthless cards for your registry, perhaps you can open your eyes to a whole new world called ... "HOCKEY"
  • LSU, you have the dreaded penny icon in case you didn't know.

    And hockey? Who cares?

    Dont hate that which you do not understand


  • << <i>And hockey? Who cares? >>



    I love you.

    For some reason my icon disappeared and I ended up with the penny icon. I guess PSA decided that is what I was worth.
  • I got the penny before too.

    Many history buffs would agree with you there. Wonder if him a Clay Aiken would have been friends.
  • Leave it to a Michigan fan to start hating on LSU, the SEC and the all the powerhouse teams in the SEC.

    SEC = Best Conference in college football

    I dont hate ... I feel sorry for you, just as I do for all those OSU fans ... tsk tsk


  • << <i>SEC = Best Conference in college football >>

    Now I am confused. Please do not feel sorry for the defending national champs. And if you want to see a real sport, please visit any SEC stadium on any random Saturday in the fall.

    Sorry to hijack the thread. Wait....this is my thread. I'm sorry this happened to me.

    This from a man who's state proudly sponsors a prison rodeo.

    And they wonder why the rest of the nation wishes the South's move to secede had been successful.

    hmmm, I guess the prisoners were lying to me when they acted very thankful and spoke about how much they enjoyed having the rodeo events at Angola(I assume that is where you are talking about)

    I have been to a few Mudbugs games and to some Dallas Stars games. Hockey has a small incredibly loyal following, but lacks mass appeal to compete with the major sports here.

    Who's "they"? Did the president of the "they" committee say this?

    In the words of a Southern genius (Hank Jr), if the South woulda won we'd a had it made.
  • agreed....i mean those hockey players never brag on themselves....humility,who needs it!!! this is america...give me an athlete who basically has sex with himself after tackling a guy after a 4 yd gain...pound that chest...do that dance...point at thyself...never happen in hockey...and off the ice...so boring....about 100 arrests for every basketball or football player for every 1 arrest for a hockey player....BORING!!!...GET THY NAME IN THY PAPER.....sad

  • Hockey is the greatest sport on earth.

    Thank God there's still a sport for medium-sized white guys.

    i always used to watch it for the fights years ago, i watch rugby sometimes, peole think football is a bad game, rugby is nuts,fooball without padsimage i bet they end up like the old time nfl players in the 40-50's, all crippled up


  • << <i>i always used to watch it for the fights years ago >>



    You aint alone. But "USED TO" are the key words. It's become a Pushy-esh league now.




    << <i>rugby is nuts,fooball without pads >>



    Those guys could walk onto an NFL field and kick butt
  • When I think of Hockey, Baseball, Football, and Soccer, I think Hockey has changed the most since I started watching
    it in the 70's. I really can't explain why, but it's a different game now more so then any other sport. Does anyone
    else feel this way ?


  • << <i>Thank God there's still a sport for medium-sized white guys. >>



    Golf, bowling, ping pong, tennis, racquetball, soccer, darts, billiards......

    See, there are plenty more.

    It changed once those freakin' Euros polluted the game with Finess & speed

    The toughness left the game

    I watched every game I could for 20 years, but I dont watch that much anymore

    The game itself or the cards dont suck. Just the current state of the NHL

    If you never watched it, you missed out

    Its time to let it go

    i miss the Winnipeg Jets.

    I miss the Quebec Nordiques.

    I miss the California Golden Seals.

    I miss the Broad Street Bullies.

    I miss Goring, Nystrom & Brawlin' Billy.

    I miss names like Nesterenko, Mahavolich, Plante & Vachon.

    The puck still gets dropped.

    Real hockey is gone.

    I don't think you could have all that fighting now-- it just wouldn't be safe. It's one thing to have a bunch of 5'10", 180 lb (or 75 kg, if you lean that way) dudes swinging at each other; it's quite another to have guys like Chara-- or even Bertuzzi, as far as that goes--doling it out 40 times a year. Given the size of these guys now someone is going to get killed in one of these fights eventually, and having more fights would only ensure that this happens sooner or later.

    The basic problem with the NHL, in my opinion, is that they're trying to make a European style game work on the small ice. If they expanded the ice there wouldn't be any problems.

    Amen, bro-tha!

    Won't happen though because each arena would lose too many high $ seats.

    Rube,

    Are you sure Gerge said that?

    And what the hell does that have to do with Hockey?

  • I don't think loving hockey and any other major sport are mutually exclusive ideas. I live for baseball and still really enjoy football but love hockey with equal fervor. Some people just gotta stir the pot. I am curious tho about the Hank Jr. quote on "The Souths Gonna Do It Again' and since you're a Southerner and i am not, who exactly would have had it made? and how? That song always made me wonder because I doubt he was singing about the sort of things his amazing father would have.
    Just glad to be here with everyone.

    Finally got HD cable and am looking forward to watching the Redwings play!! Hockey is one of the funnest things to watch, for me at least, on t.v. Nothing beats overtime playoff hockey to watch. Spent many a late night watching the Wings go into double an triple overtime.


    On a side note as far as cards, one of my favorite of any sport is the 85-86 Topps/OPC set, great simple design IMO.

    Jomer - thanks for posting the Gary "Cobra" Simmons picture!

    Good goalie on a really, really, bad hockey team.

    Ah, the California Golden Seals, I remember having cards of players from that team in packs of 74 hockey cards, remember the Kansas City Scouts??
