Hockeybird.com: "Where Did San Jose Come From?"

In my last installment, I told you that I was going to write about the game that I went to in Chicago. Well, that's going to have to wait, because something incredible happened at the Rangers-Sharks game on Monday night. Did I win an on-ice contest? Did I win the 50-50 raffle? Was I on GardenVision? No. This is much bigger. I think that I actually found...

And it wasn't a long trip - they were right behind me! I know that in the past I've talked about ignorance, but Monday night was special. I learned many things about the Sharks in particular, and NHL hockey in general, listening to the three geniuses behind me. Did you know that:

Wow. I was in awe of their knowledge already, but then I heard the question that became the title of this article. I was absolutely stunned. I think that the kid who said this meant it in the context of "where did they play their last game," but I'm not so sure...

You're wondering who the idiots are who continue to boo Nedved? That was them! But the best part was when the game ended and they began to beat the crap out of each other like five-year-olds! These guys should've been wearing hockey helmets, for purposes other than hockey...

Next time you're watching TV, keep an eye out for a Land Rover commercial featuring a man and his son shopping for a Christmas tree. Look at the tree salesman...

Garden Concessions thought it would be handy
To include stovepipe hats with their great cotton candy.

At ten bucks a pop, they bring in the cash,
But I think their decision was perhaps a bit rash.

When my view is obstructed by a prop from The Lorax,
It pisses me off - makes me want to kick thorax!

The hats are fun - for kiddies, they're fine.
But not for a person who stands at 5-9!

Adult with Seuss hat, just what are you thinkin'?
You look like an ass, not Abraham Lincoln!

In response to a volley of verbal artillery,
You finally removed your tri-colored millinery.

My suggestion to you, for Ranger games hence:
A little less cotton candy; a little more common sense.

could't agree more. msg was half empty, you had your "hockey experts", i, sitting in sec 103, had suits around me all talking on the phone. at least put the phone on vibrate. boring game, very tedious, but we won, bottom line. i need to go back up with the real fans. seats were gift, corporate from friend, so I took my son. i do like the 7pm start, got home at a decent hour even with OT
