Hockey

Anyhow, I took it as a rhetorical question, because that's what you indicated, but one that required a response since it was predicated on a misunderstanding of what I had previously written.

My fault for using the overtly subliminal . Next time I won't be so ambiguous with my response.

Then I will drop that issue from this debate.

Those children can play soccer/futbol as you describe because the nature of the game ("nature" being the root of "natural" -- an important word in one of my earlier posts in this exchange) is such that those sorts of conditions and equipment allow it. Ice is a natural part of hockey.

No snow, no hockey. Makes complete sense. The NHL should rid themselves of all teams that are unable to play the whole season outdoors. Then just for kicks, once a year have an indoor game.

Oh, what have I wrought by writing that?

And see, I can laugh:

Here's a novel idea, Bud Selig should abolish inter-league games. After all, that's an unnatural thorn in the side of baseball's purists.

Let's not forget to require all dome teams, baseball and football, to vacate their respective cities. Games played indoors?!? Utterly ridiculous.

It's not a good idea to put words in my mouth, either explicitly or implicitly.

I never put words in your mouth, either explicitly or implicitly. I've simply expressed my opinion about such views on the subject.

I suggest you review what "implicitly" means and then check your postings.

But really, let's put an end to this. I agree that you can have the last word. Okay?

Any guesses as to who will win the Stanley Cup and in how many games?

I predict that the Blackhawks will win in 6 games(sorry Jennifer).

That is my prediction, as well: Chicago in 6.

By the way (and if it hasn't been mentioned already; I don't remember), there's a great sports documentary running on HBO lately titled "Broad Street Bullies." It's about the heyday of the Flyers. Highly recommended. Hockey doesn't often get the attention it deserves in this genre. Here's a link to info:

Tied at 2 with just a little bit of time left in the first. This has been a good game so far.
