Quote:playoffs are entirely different than regular season. the flyers got knocked out by the rangers. period. so the flyers have/had no shot at beating the pens. second off, the rangers won game one, so probability and odds are in the rangers favor. fandom has to start somewhere and if its because people liked mario lemieux then who cares? get out of here with your conspiracy theory that crosby was "placed" on the team. he isnt even what they all made him out to be. the best player on that team is malkin. sidney is hype. your hockey knowledge almost makes you look like you know about football. ahhahaha

I am with you there. I was once drawn into Nascar. I was brought to a race in high school and the guy who took me had a suite with about 75-100 folks he worked with. It was awesome. They did some sort of pool where you put in 5 bucks and drew your racer. I got Mark Martin. He took second that race, I was a MM fan from then on. I caught flak from some folks behind my reasoning. I had never been interested before in Nascar up to that point. I had no other driver to root for.

 

I have since fallen off the Nascar wagon, but I get your point Achilles. Who cares what draws someone into the game, it's a good thing when it does imo.
