Good Morning all of you wonderful hockey people. Wanna answer some Hockey Questions???

Question

1) No rules about malodorous body odor in the NHL? Could this be to somebody’s advantage? Rub yourself in skunk juice & hit the ice. Do you think players would be less likely to check you or get anywhere near you?

2) Beer Nuts, Tortilla Chips & salsa, or potato chips?

3) We may see the biggest vacancies of coaches ever this offseason. Name 1 thing that is ABSOLUTELY essential for you to have confidence in your favorite team’s coach?

4) Which would you rather vacation at: Ukraine, Romania, or Slovakia?

5) Everyone loves to make predictions…but I am not big on them. To step outside the box & I am going to promise that the Panthers and the Blackhawks will make the playoffs in 2011. What is your crazy way-in-the-future prediction?

6) Cat person or Dog person?

7) For all of the times we see the Q's on Y!A, “What was that song that played in the 2nd period after X scored during the whatever game?”…shouldn’t the arena post the songs played during the game on the web?

Answer 1

1) How about a facewash into someone's pits?

2) Beer nuts.

3) Well....a coach for the Leafs would be nice....lol

4) Romania. Maybe it's just chance, but the Romanian girls I've met are hotter.

5) I hate predictions. I think Habs fans won't riot at their next series win and Scotiabank Place would continue to NOT have rails at their nosebleeds.

6) Both.

7) That would be a good idea. And then they can sell them via iTunes or something of that nature.

Answer 2

1.)Brilliant but tomato juice now in the locker room for after the game?New cologne Eu De Avery.

2)Combos

3)Be a former player and team leader.I always feel more confident if the coach has played prior to coaching.

4)Romania

5)That Jude will die alone.Any takers?

6)DOG!!!

7)No because I love seeing TBL scrambling all over YA looking for that song he heard two weeks ago.

Answer 3

1. I don't think their teammates and coaches on the bench would appreciate the smell. Most likely the player isn't going to spend the majority of his time on the ice.

2. Potato chips

3. That they have confidence first in their own coaching abilities.

4. Romania

5. I predict the Lightning will come back and make the playoffs within the next five years.

6. Cat person

7. Yes, they should. That'd be neat to look at.

Answer 4

1) I think some of the funk I've smelled in the stands would offset the skunk juice.

2)  Chips/Salsa and a margarita to wash it down.

3) He/She must be able to dance the Mambo.

4) Having been to all three -- the differences are nil.   Now if you threw Amsterdam in the mix -- it would get my vote.  

5)  The Hamilton Preds will make the playoffs.

6)  Dogs Rule.  http://www.nsalamerica.org/

7) I say eliminate all the festivities during whistles, breaks, etc.  I don't need to be entertained every minute of every game.

Answer 5

1.) Haha, it can have a good effect on the other team, because the stench would definately throw them off guard, but I'm sure it can be said about your teammates as well.  Nobody's going to want to sit next to you on the bench, and you're going to have to skate by your own teammate too, so that would suck if they passed out.  lol.

2.) Chips and salsa (and cheese!)

3.) The most important thing in a coach is for him to be able to bring teamwork.  The Devils lost many key players over the past few seasons - The team isn't that great, but they managed to be seeded #4 in the East, and that is definately attributed to their good teamwork...Even though some of the kinks have to be worked out because of all the new faces.  Without teamwork, the team suffers - Like the Lightning (sorry!)  Obviously they had horrible defense and goaltending, but with insanely good offensive players like Lecavalier, Prospal, Richards, and St. Louis on your team at one point, the team should not be dead last in the NHL.

4.) Romania for sure!  I love that country!!  It's beautiful there.

5.) I agree with the Blackhawks making the playoffs.  They have such strong young talent.  I don't like making predictions either, so I don't have any.

6.) Dog.  I have a pet dog :-)

7.) That could be difficult because the songs for each game change, so a list of all the songs could be really extensive.  I think the songs played are irrelevent to the actual game of hockey.

Answer 6

1) I wouldn't go near someone who smelled like skunk, and I'm guessing there are a lot of people with that mindset.

2) Chips and salsa.  Yum!

3) That he has confidence in his team and his coaching.

4) Hmmm...probably Ukraine.

5) Blackhawks get swept in the second series by the Islanders, and the Panthers make it to the finals and lose to the Kings.  Hey, if you can have off-the-wall predictions, so can I!

6) Cat and dog person.

7) Naw.  Let 'em ask!

Answer 7

1.I would bathe in liquid a$$ and ten nobody would come near me.the goalie would pass out and i would score easily.

2.potato chips-Cape cod robust russett

3.A good playoff record

4.Arent they all the same?I guess Ukraine

5.i predict the Leafs wont win a cup for another 10 years

6.Dog-i hate cats

7.I agree.The Flames site used to have a list of all their songs a couple years ago but they dont do it anymore.

Answer 8

1)  You'd probably make your teammates on the bench vomit, so no.

2) Chips and salsa....or better yet, seven layer dip.

3) A giant brain.

4)  Slovakia, I hear it's dirt cheap.

5) Blue jackets win the cup in 2027.

6)  Cats, I love p|_|ssy.

7)  Sounds like a plan, I know radio stations do that, why not arenas?

Answer 9

1 Yes

2 Tortilla

3 A lot of Stanley cup wins and used to play on the NHL

4 Slovakia

5 The Islanders will win the Stanley Cup and the penguins and canucks will die (or at least not enter playoffs or get beaten by islanders =D)

6 doggie

7 Yes they should

Answer 10

1) I don't think there is. And this could be an advantage.

...I need to get this idea to Jarkko Ruutu! ;)

2) Tortilla Chips & Salsa. Yummm.

3) Success is an obvious one. I also like a coach that seems to know what buttons to push to bring out a player's best.

4) Romania. I don't know as much about the Ukraine or Slovakia. I'd choose Slovakia though if I could take Marian Hossa with me. Loool.

5) I'm not big on predictions either... but for me, that's mostly due to silly superstitions. I think predicting the Hawks will be in the playoffs during the 2010-2011 season sounds pretty good to me.

6) Cat person! (But I love dogs too.)

7) The Rangers do so on their official website.

Answer 11

1. Definitely an advantage, although as the old saying goes if you can't beat 'em join 'em. The stinky ones probably wouldn't mind bashing the other stinky guys.

2. Potato Chips

3. The players respect.

4. I'm scared of Slovakia ever since I watched that movie Hostel. Never again will I ever watch a scary movie. I guess I will vacation in Romania then.

5. In a perfect world, Leafs will win the Stanley Cup in 2017.

6. Dogs! Unfortunately, despite much persistence my parents won't buy me one.

7. Haha, that would be a good idea. What I usually do is type some of the lyrics (if the song has any) into Google and then see what pops up. Try finding a song in a different language...now that's hard.

Answer 12

1) Love Mike Ricci but he looked like maybe he smelled like salami, which may have worked to his advantage around the net.

2) Chips & salsa. But guac is a must, too.

3) The thing about Tippett that scares me is his propensity to sit on a lead and go into a shell. That caused problems for the Stars this season at times.  What is essential for me is a coach who is willing to keep his foot on the pedal and be willing to create offense and chances even when holding a late lead.

4) Ukraine because it looks beautiful (so do the other 2 but Ukraine a bit more) and the girls there are hot and have loose morals.

5) Ladies and gentlemen, please meet the Portland Oregon Predators. Within 5 seasons.  That and James Neal wins the Calder trophy next season.

6) dogs

7) posting the arena songs on the web is a great idea.

Answer 13

1. No, players smell awful when they sweat anyway, and players sweat A LOT in Hockey.

2. Tortilla Chips and Salsa.

3. Columbus must make the playoffs next year! I Don't want to see Hitchcock get fired.

4. Ukraine, it's basically a second home for us Russians.

5. Columbus will win the Stanley Cup in 2012!

6. Allergic to both. Though, I am allergic to less dog breeds then cat breeds and I like dogs better.

7. Yes!

Answer 14

4.i dont care to leave the states

5.i predict the Pens wont have any fans again by 2011

Answer 15

1) Could work but you might not be allowed back to your own bench

2) mmmm Beer...........Nuts

3) History of winning as a coach at some level or as a team captain.  Ie no more Mario Tremblay experiments.

4) gonna have to try all three and let you know

5) My Habs will win another cup this century

6) Dog- born in year of Dog so I have the dog personality.  Like any true dog when I see something if I cannot play with it, eat it or F^&* it I will lift a leg and p**s on it.

Answer 19

Good morning Haley

1. Haha, that would be funny. It would keep the opposing team away. I would hate to have to sit next to him on the bench when he's not playing

2. Chips and salsa. preferably cheese

3. the players still listen to him

4. Slovakia. I don't know anything about those countries, so I went with the one that sounds the coolest

5. Toronto will still not be in the playoffs

6. Cat

7. I think there is something on Sabres.com that shows some of the songs they play. Its a good idea to do that.

Answer 20

1. Probably just the puckbunnies.

2. Chips & salsa.  

3. Experience, players and coaches respect him.  

4. Romania.  I'll hang out in a Black Seas resort and tour some castles.  

5. We will find out that Gary Bettman is a cyborg after his motherboard malfunctions.  

6. Yes.  

7.  No.  They can't even find the scores on NHL.com.  They still wouldn't find them and we would be left to ridicule these poor souls nonetheless.

Answer 21

1. Lmao.....let's just keep using deodorant.

2. Potato Chips

3. I can't have confidence in my favorite team's coach unless the players do!

4. Slovakia.....I like the sound of the name. ;)

5. Tampa Bay wins two Stanley Cups back to back in the 09-10 season and in the 10-11 season.

Answer 22

1) No Comment

2) Chips and Salsa

3) X's and O's

4) Russia (ya govaryoo po-roosky)\

5)Evgeni Malkin will outshine Crosby and Ovechkin

6)Dog person (though I own and love a cat too)

7) I think that would be a tremendous waste of some lackey's time.

Answer 23

The pucks have probably broken a few noses, so the smell wouldn't matter anyway. However, if somebody like, oh I don't know, say Chris Chelios, drank his prune juice before hitting the ice and dropped a load in his pants or skated out with one of his grandkids dirty diapers......

2)Potato chips with bacon-ranch dip.

3)The ability to duck flying objects and put up with harsh criticism.- I mean, you can only work with what's given you, so Nolan does the best he can with what Wang gives him.

4)Ukraine- can't even come up with a good punchline.

5)I predict the Islanders will trade their 1st round draft pick for Daryl Sydor.

6)Dogs, even though I'm allergic to both, only found out ten years ago.  There were always 2 dogs in the house growing up. And that didn't include my sister!

7)Why not have each teams website post them instead of the arena? I wouldn't want to look at basketball songs on the arena website anyway.

7)

Answer 24

1) Athletes are born with no sense of smell.

2) where's the cheese? I will choose the T&S and hope it has pity on my belly.

3) I know. This summer is going to be great. Experience. I want this teams coach to be a learner and a teacher and to be confident.

4) the UK!!! all my ukranian, romanian, slovakian, and russian friends love the ukraine...i don't know why but i'll listen to them. they don't agree on much so when they do you know it's a given.

5) wow 2011...that's not far off. well the leafs are supposedly going to make the playoffs in 2017, or else the world ends and leafs nation will begin to crack, but for a way in the future prediction for a team i love to see play i will say the la kings make sc finals in 2015.

6) i love doggies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

wait uhm that sounds weird so let me just that i like the canis lupus familiaris family.

7) yes. the nhl/hockey tournaments have a marketing team who probably decide what people hear during a game and i think that if they had any creative bone in their body they would extend the information of songs heared to people who like music and like hockey. any sports league could do that and fill a niche. i hate having to go search for so and so song after hearing it at a game.

Answer 25

Good Morning Sunshine!! Lol

1) Wow...B.O....I don't know how the boys on the ice would react but the ones on the bench would be sick to their stomachs from the stench.

2) Hulless popcorn

3) I really have confidence in a former hockey player..they know the game

4) None...Sweden!!!

3-- Trotzy  looks too much like a leprechaun not to have some magic..

5-- Crosby's beard fills in fully in his final season..

6-- Dog..   WTF???  

7-- Or atleast have a "music of the (insert arena) thread" on each teams website..  Starting with Tampa..LOL...

Answer 27

1) no, i think the other players would just put a peg on their noses, like they do in synchronised swimming

2) tortilla chips and salsa

3) successful (to some degree) at previous teams

4) Slovakia (better hockey league)

5) Crosby or Ovechkin (maybe both) will not win the Stanley Cup during their careers

6) Cats (meow!)

7) it wouldn't make any difference, people would still come on here and ask

Answer 28

1) No rules about malodorous body odor in the NHL? Could this be to somebody’s advantage? Rub yourself in skunk juice & hit the ice. Do you think players would be less likely to check you or get anywhere near you? Yes I think so They will get more Aggressive and start a fight.

2) Beer Nuts, Tortilla Chips & salsa, or potato chips?  Chips and Salsa

6) Cat person or Dog person?  Cat Person

7) For all of the times we see the Q's on Y!A, “What was that song that played in the 2nd period after X scored during the whatever game?”…shouldn’t the arena post the songs played during the game on the web? Yes they should the fans don't know and don't care about the Music thye are just there to have a good time.

Answer 29

1) Well, with Gary Bettman as commissioner, I'm sure there will be a new rule concerning body odor within the next season or two.

2) Potato Chips.

3) I'm good with Mike Babcock.

4) I'd rather be here rooting for the Wings.

5) Gary Bettman will make having a Dynasty illegal and punishable by a $10,000,000 fine. He will also make standing up and cheering from the audience punishable by a two minute delay of game penalty against the Home Team. I will kill him in 2012.

6) Neither but if I had to choose, Dog.

7) That would be sweet! There are songs that are played at JLA that drive me crazy trying to find. There is one where I've been googling millions of possible song titles and lyrics for over a year.

Nice survey! :) :) :) :) :)
