i'm stickin' to my :rambo:, the only hot dogs i want to see at a hockey game are at the concession stand, where they belong.


I hear ya...Even though I love football I can't stand the shit in the endzone and one of the many things I love about hockey is the sportsmanship I don't want to start seeing that crap...I heard a line from a great song once before and I know you all know it.

"If and when you get into the endzone act like you've been there a thousand times before"!

You cannot be serious? Hockey is the most barbaric major sport that exists. What is so sportsmanlike about the sport, anyway? There has never been any respect in hockey, regardless of what the media tries to feed the public. If there was respect, there simply wouldn't be so many agregious attempts to injure other players.

The funny part about the whole Canada/Russia ordeal is that it was a Canadian who performed a vicious act against the Russians and somehow Don Cherry has millions of people fooled into thinking the Russians are the "bad guys" who disrespect the sport. :? Bobby Clarke's slash on Varlamov must be one of those honourable, sportsmanlike acts shown by a Canadian, is it?

About the hot dogging issue, why is it that Don Cherry doesn't condemn the World Junior Canadian players for excessive celebrations? Why the double standard?

I agree with you regarding the attempts to injure but that is generally kept to a few useless players that can't play the game anyway. As far as the sportsmanship I was referring to it was mostly on the celebration that was being referred to and that fact that the shaking of hands that is done at the end of a playoff round still.
