Martin Brodeur did something important last night, I believe. It involves most wins by a goaltender, or some other ridiculous hockey statistic that doesn’t properly take into account the fact that HE CAN”T FUCKING SCORE.
Yet, people freaked. They wrote about it in places, they gave him a standing ovation, and even Celine Dion got in on the act, ringing Marty up to congratulate him.
Let me explain how you know that your sport sucks balls (it’s metaphorical too! Get it?!?!): Celine Dion respects you. She’s Canadian, her music is God-awful and she likes hockey. Of course she does.
Now, not to offend anyone from Canada (we like Canadians actually) but how can you back hockey? Honestly. Have you seen American FOOTBALL? I rest my case. Go away, hockey.
And take Celine Dion with you.

worst argument against hockey ever… fail
Very narrow minded! I’d take hockey over a once a week sport any day!
being an American hockey is a great sport!!!!!! the only time I would watch football over hockey is the playoffs and superbowl, otherwise hockey all the time and just watch the hockey playoffs most exciting games you will ever see
um… brodeur can and has scored… once in the playoffs… as for hockey in general… what other sport combines the hand eye coordination (of baseball), the athleticism (of basketball), the contact (of football), and even fights (boxing anyone?)… oh and they do it ON ICE!!! Hockey is the hardest sport to play (you need all the skills/attributes described above), with the hardest trophy to win (Stanley cup 4 Rounds of best of 7–baseball/basketball 1round of best of 5 then three rounds of best of 4, football you have to win either 4 or 3 games depending on if you are a wild card), and after kicking the living crap out of each other for 4 wins… they shake hands. Hey I hate celine dion as much as anyone but just cuz she jumps on the hockey bandwagon doesn’t mean hockey sucks, it just means hockey is so great, that celine wants to use it to up her status!
Not even remotely funny. How about comparing U.S football (which I’m not knocking) to REAL football (Euro), & write something than douchebag!
HAH! American football as a sport?
I am sorry to say but any “sport” where you get to stop for a break every 20 seconds can’t be compared with hockey. You want a full contact sport to compare with it? try Rugby Union. Have a look at an Australia vs New Zealand game and see what a fast paced full contact sport is. You may also notice that they aren’t all wearing body armour either. Pads are for pansies. But hockey kicks arse.
HEY! WE GAVE YOU AMERICANS CELINE! WE DON’T WANT HER BACK!
suckers……
And American Football is yet another of the most barbaric and lameass sports on the frakking planet to come out of the states. There is only one football. They should rename american football something more appropriate, like “Handball” or “Rounded-but-not-really-round ball”
here’s how it works in the real world
Hockey = win.
football = win.
American football = massive fail.
“here’s how it works in the real world
Hockey = win.
football = win.
American football = massive fail.”
HAHAHA. Did someone post this article on a Canadian Pride thread or something?
Hockey = Win = laughable. Just because it gets a little crowded around your frozen pond on Saturday afternoons doesn’t mean the rest of the world cares. Enjoy your Curling and Labatt Blue and leave the real sports to us.
Thanks for reading. Skate home safely.
Don’t really need too leave a comment since your ass has already been handed to you, But hockey rules big time. How many times do football teames play 3 games in 4 days. Watching a haockey game is like sex. Its the most fun you can have without laughing.

And another thing. That record stood for 9 years at least and Martys’ record will probley stand longer. And try playing in an 82 game season not a measly 16. Sheez And when Riggins left the game it was over for football anyway. You gotta love a guy who kept his superbowl mvp trophy over the laundry machine with the soap powder.

this has to be the dumbest shit to rant about. All you got is celine dion? Give it up, go home and take your kenny g collection with you
