This Canada/Czech Republic game is incredibly boring.

Yeah, Paisley is a boy (and has an instagram! come on) and Tyson Barrie is never "Ty", that threw me off.

This Stars fan disagrees. ("Medical reasons" IS TOO VAGUE I NEED AN UPDATE ON FAKSA NOW)

Is his girlfriend a professional photographer? Paisley's Instagram photos are distractingly good. It distracts me.

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I also agree with Mike Modano.

I still hold out hope that North America will somehow win everything, but it's a faint one. (...and that they do it with McDavid not getting a single point, because that would be hilarious.)

You know, I never in my life heard anyone call Minnesota "Minny" before I started watching hockey, and I grew up in Wisconsin and both my parents grew up in Minnesota and I spent almost all my summers there. It's like calling it "Minny" is a bizarre hockey-only marker of "person not from Minnesota".

After the first period, I just wanted them to throw Pavelec in net and be done with it.

That's so weird weird because my super hockey playing and obsessed family from St Paul ALL call it Minny. To the point where I thought it was what the state was named when I was little.

Re: Game day thread 17 Sept 2016

Same.

At least it's over now. Hopefully the game against Team Europe will suck less.

Maybe it's because we never spent time in the Twin Cities? My mom is from a small town outside St. Cloud and my dad is from a small town that's about 50 minutes from Fargo/Moorhead. None of my grandparents/cousins/aunts/uncles have every once said "Minny". Though, tbf, none of them play hockey.

Maybe it's just a weird hockey thing.

Minnesota born and raised, and I have NEVER heard my state referred to as "Minny" outside of watching hockey either. It might be because we actually pronounce it as "Min-UH-so-duh."

We don't call it "Minny" in the Twin Cities either. I really think it's a hockey thing.

Nothing that everyone else is thinking. Just give Canada the trophy and give them a week off before preseason start.

Re: Fandom Venting

I think it's more the obnoxiousness surrounding McDavid wasn't limited to Edmonton. The NHL in general (especially the Canadian portion) has been worshipful of him. They don't put others down because they can't conceive anyone else as worthy enough to even compare (except maybe early Sid.) The McJesus nickname is sadly lacking in irony.
