Rust was Phil Kessel's hotdog for Halloween, so him owning was foretold

Whenever that heinz hot dog stampede commercial comes on, I imagine that's what dreams are like for Kessel.

I'm torn between my desire to see Reimer and the Sharks win and seeing The Thrill officially telling everyone to gently caress off. The choices.

i am the bird posted:Can the Sharks win and then award a ring to Kessel? Because that's the best scenario. But of course! How many rings would Mr. Kessel like? ThinkTank posted:I figure people will begin to realize that 1) the Sharks are a drat dirty team and Thornton/Pavelski and Marleau dive with the best of them 2) Joe Thornton's act wears pretty thin when you begin to realize he's a petulant man child and not a goofy stoner type that people decided he is and 3) man are their fans annoying. How I wish it were still Passover so that I might collect your delicious, salty tears in a bowl and dip my bitter herbs in them. Seriously, though, if we filled a pool up with your tears, would a person be able to float on them?

I am kind of new to hockeymans, and I'll probably regret asking this, but why all the hate for the Pens and their fans? I see one SC championship eight years ago, and the previous two were considerably longer ago, so it can't be like an anti-Patriots thing where you hate on a team for long term success.

But it IS like an anti-Patriots thing where you hate on a team because the TV networks will not stop ramming them down your throat.

People will say they have terrible fans, but the truth is that most fans of any given team are awful, it's just that the pens tend have a relatively large fanbase and thus seem to be more terrible. xzzy posted:Whenever that heinz hot dog stampede commercial comes on, I imagine that's what dreams are like for Kessel.

i'm trying to think of if i hate superstars who are highly marketed in other sports, and i don't think i do. mostly just like watching them do badass stuff. not sure why it's different for crosby i might also just be a weird sportsfan, i've actually enjoyed the past few years of cup exchanges between chicago and LA just because the teams have seemed so dominant, it's just impressive to watch and lends itself to good hockey

Steelers fans are the loving worst and they're everywhere and there's an overlap with Pens fans there.

I showed Phil Kessel's ESPN.com portrait with the NHL logo shopped out to an acquaintance who knows nothing about ice hockey, and she said, "That's one of the Duck Dynasty guys, right?"Mage_Boy posted:And that is why I live my avatar.

I think that the worst part of pens fans, to me, is when they keep asking why nobody likes them.

No one likes trying to explain irrational things because they slowly realize there are no good reasons and then quickly try to cover it up and double down on their original opinion.

Kessel needs to win the Cup so that he can bring it to the Leafs' 50th Anniversary next year.

What about the Kings? They're pretty much all I ever see where I live and they're who I watch until they get eliminated or don't make it in at all. I also think Sid is badass and watch the Pens mainly because of him. Like I said I'm new to this and I'm just trying to figure out how much I am hated in this thread for my allegiances

So you're pretty much Satan. Don't worry too much. It's not that big a deal, I'm Hitler.

Yeah, Slava And even as a noob I can see that the Kings are kind of boring. Although the way they won those series in the 2014 postseason was pretty thrilling (and agonizing at times) But I guess basically they are not cool and good.

Grimby posted:They also have pretty big hate-boners for the Bruins for some reason. the reason is that many franchises thought the reasons the bruins won a cup was Grit & Toughness and modeled their strategy based on that, which ultimately ushered in a dozen cups for the hawks and kings who opted for a Depth & Skill model

Grimby posted:They also have pretty big hate-boners for the Bruins for some reason. The Bruins seems to have a rivalry with every other team. My theory is that the "big bad bruins" really just play a dirty chripy game. Sidebar, most of SASNHL is either HAS or VAS.

Wonderllama posted:I think that the worst part of pens fans, to me, is when they keep asking why nobody likes them. The vast majority are non Pens fans and casually hockey fans that are legitimately curious why a team "seems"* to be hated just because of having great exposure, having superstars, and having success. Not sure many Pens fans give half a gently caress what others think of the teams success. *seems because it is internet posters who need something to complain about. Why not complain about a team that is marketed heavily, has talent, and is full of handsome handsome men? Don't recall ever talking hockey in person and them whining about the Penguins.

It's not a malicious or edgy teen thing. I am a 30 year old dude and I want to dedicate my free time to a a sport that isn't going to jerk me around with beer ads and 365 day a year truck months. Sucks getting lumped in with those idiots. It'd be like if Bama had a really good lacrosse team that you really liked.
