[quote=11952920]Post by tired2[/quote]So, lets say you started watching hockey when the Icecaps were here, 1991-1998, all the way up to now with the Hurricanes. That's a total of 21 years. Does that qualify a person from N.C. to know hockey ? Coming from your statements, it's probably longer than you are old.

[quote=11952512]Post by shanemane1986[/quote]....seriously doubt it....kid....seems you need a real lesson

you small-minded people......I was referring to &quot;Carolina&quot; because that is where we are....there are newby fans in every city that fit this same description &quot;but don't act like you know the game or the players&quot;....a new fan to hockey certainly can become knowledgeable....did not say that...in fact that is how the sport grows....many new fans in Carolina are knowledgeable about the game...but because you know the rules does not mean you know the strategy and intricacies (hope the word is no too hard for you)of the game...

I understand those that want to boycott because they are mad, I really do, but just remember you boycott too long you take a chance of this team leaving! The NHL wants another team in Ontario, Quebec just built a rink and 2 cities in the US are building arenas big enough for the NHL. For whatever reason the league continues to sink money into Phoenix and unless they expand, that means any team that does not draw for a long period of time could be moved. Just something to keep in the back of your mind when you decide to boycott.

soooo funny to get the masses excited

Half of the people that live here are transplants like myself and we know hockey. However, one of my best friends never saw a puck drop until the Canes came. Now he knows the game better than most. Your statement was ignorant.

Will still resent what took place but I love the sport way too much to not watch so I am looking forward to the return.

tired2... Just because we live here, doesn't mean we don't know anything about hockey... I'm from Hawaii and I bet I could lay you out on the ice, deke your skates off and deny you like Mr. Quick! And I'm talking about actually on the ice, not on your xbox ;-) You don't have to be from the North or Canada to know something about hockey, kid..

[quote=11952197]Post by kornfan2448[/quote]Gee, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to learn the game of hockey. What's their to know that anybody who has ever watched sports can't learn by going to one game ? What off-sides, or icing ? The penalties ? What are you referring too ?
