Wow. People (supposedly normal people) posting on the internet while waiting for the Pens-Flyers series to start are angry. And rabid - not in a good way.
Internet discussions are pretty much focused on petty name calling and accusations about players, fans and whole cities sexuality, manhood, and general superiority compared to their fans, players and city.
Can I get an intelligent conversation about hockey?
Or do the sites only let posters on who also tip cars and burn couches after major and minor victories.
Here’s my predictions for the series:
Both teams’ fans will complain about officiating – even when they win.
All Flyers fans will say Sidney Crosby dives, and Pens fans will say the Flyers are goons.
Crosby will be booed in Philly and Hatcher will be booed in Pittsburgh.
Whoever loses will blame it on officiating first, unlucky bounces second and underachieving third. Neither will admit the other team was better.
Oh, yea, and in the midst of this complaining a great series of hockey will take place, between two teams with great skill, grit and passion.
And if I hear one more comment about how the Pens 'tanked' their season finale against the Flyers so they didn't have to play the Flyers I think I'll scream. It was bad enough that the Senators tried to use this tactic to motivate their team, but now Philly is using it?
Hello Philly fans, if you really think the Pens tanked that game, you'd better be really worried, because your team barely won. An empty netter? Against a team bent on tanking the game? One goal against a team determined to lose?
If that's all the better the Flyers play, they're not going to fair well against that same team going all out.
So to all you internet posters, Shut up, and talk hockey.
