More, Please

I cannot imagine this is going over well in Possum Hollar, but to paraphrase the Great Gretsky, a great player plays where the puck is going to be.

Good for the NHL.

    The members of the Possum Holler He-Man Woman-Haters club, that I know, swear they have given up sports. I look for the wife beaters to start coming out of the woodwork very soon.

    Hockey never was up there in the Top Ten most-watched Sports in PH, and why Floriduh has a team is due to the number of retirees who either visit, or are emigrès, who missed the clashing of the sticks, and the whisking sound of the puck zinging down the ice.
    It reminds me of the time I went to a boxing match, and a hockey game broke out amongst some fans in the bleacher section…

      Most pro sports in Floriduh, except for say football (which is the real ‘murican pastime), are payoffs from politicians and biz leaders to specific voting demographics (pro baseball in Miami exclusively for the Cuban community) that never make any money.

    A move like this for pro hockey is more or less a passing sentiment amongst those folksy rugged individualists in possum hollar. One where they shake their heads, comment about how the world has gone to shit with ‘cancel culture and the libtards while moving on to talk about something else as they don’t understand nor care for a complex sport like hockey.

    The Possum-Hollerers I know of were holding out for the NHL to be their last professional sport left … this dashes all that great white hope they had vested. … I do love the sound of a racist’s little cold heart being crushed.

    If NASCAR can get rid of the stars and bars, anything’s possible.

    Actually hockey has been gaining popularity in the deep south with the advent of year round indoor ice rinks. Kids in the middle of a global warming enhanced, hot, humd, southern summer are more and more opting to go play hockey on the ice indoors rather than baseball in the direct sunlight. At the minor league level we are starting to see more players from Louisiana, Florida and the Carolinas in particular.

      Too many of those damn Frenchies. Perhaps if we start calling then Freedom Canadians Possom Hollar might come around to hockey. But then again, who wants them.

        I think they’d have to bring back all the fisticuffs and brawling to satisfy their tastes. Of course, it would help if the beaten players could all be black. Then, they would be big fans fer sure.
