Here's a brand new conspiracy theory I made up last night.
Allegations about a gambling ring run by Rick Tocchet of the Phoenix Coyotes is entirely fabricated and is only designed to distract Wayne Gretzky and the Canadian Olympic hockey team so they won't win the gold medal during the upcoming tournament. This is clearly so obvious that anyone disagreeing is clearly in on the scam. I think Nasa is behind this, with the help of the British Royal family WHat dya think?? ![]() Pete

Whenever we're away
People always say That hockey is the sport to which we flock. But if you actually play (Participate), then Curling wins the day (It's really great). In Canada, more people curl than hock! - Bowser and Blue, "The Curling Song"

I definitely remember my dad & uncles being aghast when hockey franchises started popping up in places like Florida and California. It was like someone was blasphemizing their religion. In Wisconsin and Minnesota, especially the northern hinterlands - it is a formal religion.

The Quebec Major-Junior League and Women's Olympic are about the only hockey worth watching in my mind. I don't really bother with the Million-Dollar-Crybabies anymore. I've been more-or-less fed up since the first strike.

The current Senators are a fairly recent team. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't count them as being part of your "original 5" or the more conventionally known "original 6".

They arent the same Senators. I was caught out by that when i first read it. The current team of that name was founded in 1992. The original Senators played from the late 1800s to 1935 before moving to St Louis and finally folding. Neither Senators team is part of the original 6 but the original Ottawa Senators are one of the teams that played in the NHLs first season.

Excellent theory. It was a bit of a relief to find that Gretzky was not involved at all, and that no charges will be laid against his wife. |

I have now changed the theory...it was the Swiss who pulled off the distraction...
Uggh...not a great show by the Canucks. Well done Swiss hockey team! (2-0 Swiss) L8R Pete

Well, of course the British Royal Family are involved ... clearly they are sore because the rest of the elite hockey world refuses to let the GB national team into their little Olympic club on the highly dubious grounds that they are ... well ... pants.

We're not great (That 1936 gold medal is looking a bit old now ) but not utterly pants either. Maybe just slightly pants...In 2005 we won the group A division I championship at the world championships so theres improvement.But we arent competing with the big boys yet (what we won is one division down from that IIRC). The only UK involvement this year is Joy Tottman who reffereed a bunch of games including the womens Bronze Medal game. She referees some mens games here and is pretty decent. Looks dwarfed by the players though! The conspiracy is that the government decided that to gain government funding we'd have to be in with a shot at medals or thereabouts. We arent, so no funding, so precious little funds to improve, so we dont get in with a shot at medals, so no fund...... A bit of a viscious circle. So the conspiracy is between the govenrment sport mob and Ice Hockey Uk who are not on that many UK hockey fans christmas card lists! This is being funded by NASA, the illuminati, erm the masons, the lizard people and some other groups like the grand order of the antidiluvean water buffalos in order to stop Team GB romping to victory....or something like that! |
