But then again Charlie, Mutt, and Atiger, The Mongtreal Canadiens have one 24 Stanley Cups.

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/06/20, 11:59 AM Well, what I am impressed with is the 14th place team gave the fourth place team a run for their money. Not sure anyone truly expected the 'Canes to get as far as they did. And I know NOBODY expected the Oilers to get to game seven of the final. Amazing.. great series and I think with changes and the strike, fans and players are finally excited about hockey again. -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now.

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/20, 01:35 PM Is that becuase it seems that they have 100 teams playing for 11 months per yr?
ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/20, 01:36 PM Charlie, it is just soccer on ice
KC_72 Posts: 3,249 Joined: 2006/05/19	2006/06/20, 01:44 PM Whats wrong with soccer????It takes a great deal of skill and stamina to play soccer....Football is nothing but shoving people around,no skill all brawn...big deal!

yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/06/20, 01:47 PM hahahahaha..... to beat one hundred teams in an 11 month season would be nothing short of amazing! haha...

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/20, 01:53 PM Seriously, hockey starts their mini camp in 2 months KC as for soccer, it must take too much skill and stamina to actually score. the game is over once a team gets that insurmountable 1-0 lead:big_smile:
yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/06/20, 02:06 PM Yup.. which makes it the hardest trophy to win!:) -------------- I am training for birthdays. Be here. Live. Love. Hope. Now. Faith. Believe. You. - Keith Urban
ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/20, 02:09 PM See in football it is so physically and mentally draining, the players need 6 months off just to recover ( and have time to wreck their motors and get arrested )
7707mutt Posts: 7,686 Joined: 2002/06/18	2006/06/20, 02:15 PM LOL or beat up their spouses and such.

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/20, 02:16 PM I would say that it takes skill but so does sewing and I would hate to watch either

	2006/06/20, 03:28 PM Well, having played a lot of football and after visiting a hockey locker room, I can attest to the fact that hockey players smell much worse than football players. Tim, not that I doubt you but why is the Stanley the hardest to win?? -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie
yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/06/20, 03:42 PM Around 80 games a season, then each of the four rounds can take up to seven games... plus, those guys work their a$$e$ off each night they play... And Sporting News says so! hahaha... if you believe that sort of thing... http://i.tsn.com/voices/paul_grant/20020530-p.html I know they play a whack of games in baseball, but I don't know if the physical work is as exhausting. Football, physically demanding, but the schedule (I don't think) is as demanding as hockey...

	2006/06/20, 03:43 PM What's the World Cup?:big_smile: -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie
yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/06/20, 03:48 PM hahahaha... some guys kick a ball around with the purpose of putting it into a big net. Somehow (despite the size of the net) they can't do it and typically run up high scores like one nil.... (no offense to any soccer players out there...

ATIGER Posts: 992 Joined: 2003/02/26	2006/06/20, 03:52 PM Tim, football cleared up all the steriods when people started dying. Now they just do stuff that will not show up on the tests Maybe it is the toughest to win because they have to fight against people not watching. In the states womens softball scored a higher rating the the NHL playoffs The World Cup is that thing where if your team scores 6 times you beat 5 teams. Maybe it is because they are called "cups" - I guess "cup" translated means "little scoring":laugh:
	2006/06/20, 05:07 PM Yeah but with soccer fans it's like having every stadium filled with nothing but Philidelphia and Cleveland football fans... a mass of broken beer bottles and broken teeth. -------------- Sometimes life is like herding cats. Charlie
