Since Canada would have just beaten US 9-0.

GMAT verbal section question, Philadelphia sports version.
In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal
You’ve probably just heard a lot of shitty Star Spangled Banners and very few O Canadas, overall.
Keeping alive the old Vaudeville joke, "I'd rather be dead than play Philadelphia."
To be fair, both are meant to be played with ensembles, and O Canada is more often than not played with some sort of ensemble, whereas there is a lot more people that take liberties with the the Star Spangled Banner. I happen to like what most people do with it, rather than the same thing time after time.

I think being ABLE to take liberties with something as sacred as the national anthem is what this country is all about. And while I might like some more than others, how many people can honestly say Jimmi Hendrix Star Spangled Banner doesn’t send a chill down their spine? That being said, I may be too easy on people, I get tears in my eyes no matter who plays the National Anthem, or how they do it.

To all the people complaining and saying this and that about the all star game.
From hockey fan to supposed hockey fan; If you dont enjoy watching this game there is something seriously wrong with you.
by kckrebs on Jan 29, 2012 4:38 PM EST via mobile reply actions
How is there something seriously wrong with you if you do not enjoy a hockey game with little to no defense? It’s a matter of personal taste and people’s personal taste may be different, even among hockey fans.
Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
You must be comparing it to a regular hockey game then, which is where you’re going wrong. Its not a “hockey game” per say, its a showcase.
If you can’t enjoy 40 of the best hockey players the world has to offer then yes I say there must be something wrong with you.
Its like comparing playing a real hockey game to an outdoor hockey game with all your friends at the outdoor rink. Its nowhere near the same experience but I’ll be damned if I didn’t have have just as much if not more fun out there in the busted ass cold of winter with 20 of my friends and no pads on then a regular season game when I was growing up. That’s how….

a). I never said I did not enjoy this. Please read carefully.
b). You have too much emotional investment in an All-star game. May I recommend yoga?
Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
A) you made it sound like you were defending those that didn’t enjoy it
B) I would do the same for pretty much any type of hockey game. I was at a squirt game earlier this afternoon actually, and would do the same for that. I’m sorry that you sounded like you were the type to say naw I’m not gonna go because they aren’t as good as the NHL.
C) I have an emotional investment in hockey and pretty much everything related to it. Be critical if you like but that’s just how I roll.

That outdoor hockey game, though, you get to play. NHL All-star game reminds me of the softball game at someone else’s family picnic. Fun if you’re an inside, but if not who would want to watch that?
As for the best hockey players in the world, it’s the fight between offense and defense as much as their talent that makes me want to watch, so I’ll wait for the playoffs and the Olympics.

Do you think the All-Star game is better than the Olympics?
Editor at SB Nation's Philadelphia Union blog, The Brotherly Game. Follow me on Twitter.
Even attempting to compare the whole Olympic hockey event with the all star game is beyond anything I’m willing to do. But what is the point of that. Ok, there’s what 17 weeks in the nfl? 18? Whatever, but its like saying I’m not gonna watch this regular season game because its not as good as the super bowl. Well no shit its not as good but who cares? There’s nothing else on. Obviously you don’t have much else going on if you’re watching the game and also commenting about it on the computer.
If there’s better things to do then I suggest you go do them but cut the complaining for hells sake. That’s all there ever is around here..

I would rather watch a competitive high school hockey game than the NHL All-Star game. For me, everything starts with the competition, the need to win.
A showcase? I want hockey.

Why does there have to be a comparison? I would rather watch the NHL playoffs all season long too but that’s just not gonna happen. Some just seem to have an inability to take things for what they are and not the absolute maximum best most awesome thing it could be.
by kckrebs on Jan 29, 2012 5:40 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
“What it is” depends on what you think it is and what I think it is. You said above it’s like a game of shinny. Ok. I’ll go with that. So, I no longer am afflicted with an inability to take things for what they are. This alone is a blessing.
What it is. I have no interest in watching a game of shinny among the greatest hockey players in the world, in the same way that I have no interest in going to hear the Philadelphia Orchestra play Three Blind Mice. .
It’s not worth watching, based on what I want from a hockey game. I understand that you feel differently. This does not, in my opinion, make you a “supposed” fan or indicate that there is something seriously wrong with you. Well, maybe, but that’s my problem.
And I used a comparison to tell you what I think is worth watching. Compare and contrast is a basic way of discussing ideas and opinions.

Dear All-star Weekend,
can you stop existing? Seriously, the only reason I like the All-star break this year is because it gives our guys a chance to recover from their concussions. What’s been going on this weekend doesn’t even resemble NHL hockey, nor is it interesting to watch. It’s like a dunk competition, with about as much physical play.

I don’t know. I liked Laviolette as a coach when he was with the Canes and even the Islanders. Torts has always just reminded me of a jackass. For instance, if Bruce Boudreau was our coach I know I would not like him just like I wouldn’t like Torts.

True certain coaches don’t translate well though I think Rouges point is if one of them was our coach we would belatedly accept them since as a fan that is all you can do!
Actually...
Also I think if Torts was our coach, the prevailing attitude would be, “TORTS DON’T CARE WHAT NO ONE THINKS, HES ALL PHILLY!!!!” and we would embrace that he’s a tough guy, rather than, “We have a jackass coach.”
