Why is it that The Stranger is completely disrespectful and insulting to Football, but totally open to Hockey? Seriously, you push bad stereotypes about football breeding rednecks and all, when really hockey is just as bad.
Plus, its really sad and pathetic that Stranger pushes these stereotypes, when they work hard to eliminate stereotypes against homosexuals.
@ 1, @ 6, and @ 7 - have you really never noticed that Slog is where The Stranger's writers write about anything they like? Some writers like certain sports, while others hate them all. And they all post their opinions.
It's not coverage, dipshits, any more than the viral videos are. It's INDIVIDUAL OPINIONS.
Now if they'd only get schedules up so I can start planning all my non-work activities around the Penguins games. This is taking far too long. Someone should have been on that yesterday.
@3: i would, but stranger writers keep taking shots at the seahawks, which is seattle's most popular & successful professional sports franchise, in every sports post.
tell megan seling to skip the snide and i'll go back to ignoring the NHL/hockey and her posts on it.
There's an attraction to remote team sports, where you'll never have to encounter a mass of fans and their ubiquitous bling and flare. The only way to encounter it is on TV or online, where you can control your access and encounters w/ other fans. Things like football, baseball, soccer, going to the actual games (even being in the same city) puts you in close contact w/ other fans, who are likely to be obnoxious, moronic, shallow, possibly homophobic/bigoted, and yet they are just as excited as you are over the action. Horrors! Best to stay home or go to your regular hang-out to watch the game on TV and not have anything to do w/ the real experience of major sports fans. For Seattle, Hockey is the perfect sport.
I don't know what they'd do in a place like Boston. Tiddly-winks?
I think 48 games, starting in December, is just about perfect for an NHL season. Nobody wants to see hockey in October, and the regular season has alway been way too long.
... However I'm confused. I don't think I've heard the one about the unemployed Pens fans. Pass it along, I can take a joke.
@11 (Megan), Wednesday! We might have to wait until Wednesday for a schedule? The NHL just keeps fucking with their fans. Bettman needs to get thrown out on his ass.
The big news is that the new CBA cuts small market teams no break. They have to spend money they won't have. Seattle will definitely get a team, and I'm still hoping for the Panthers.
So, what's our new Seattle NHL team named, by the way?
@2, depends what Don Levin wants to re-name the Florida Panthers. Seattle Bobcats or (Mountain) Lions?

@8: really, is that how Slog works?

I'd support a strike/lockout every year.
