Howler's Wednesday Night Questions?

Question

1. Which do you think will happen in 10 years:

A Stanley Cup final game where the temp outside the arena is over 115 degrees (no humidity) or a Stanley Cup final where all the players don't have a playoff beard?

2. Better birthday gift: Season tickets to your favorite or an Autographed Edmonton Oilers Jersey by Wayne Gretzky?

3. What Hockey DVD's do you own and/or have seen?

4. Pink for Valentine's Day or Green for St. Patty's Day, which of these colors would you like to see painted on the ice when watching a hockey game for one time only?

NOTE: If you don't like those colors you can select one of your own and you don't have to have a theme for it.

5. Would you like to see NHL arenas become equipped with retractable roofs to give the NHL games that more outdoors feel? (The roof would only be opened when the weather is not bad)

Answer 1

1. Do you mean "all" as in "none" have beards, or not every single player has a beard? Tricky. Either way, 2nd choice, we're not in Equador.

2.Season tickets, can't turn my back.

3. I don't think I own any?

4. Orange for Halloween

5. It wouldn't make or break it, but its nice out, why not? I don't care if I live in Buffalo, I want snow as far away from me as possible.

Answer 2

1) Cup outside the arena

2) Season tickets

3) (Own) Miracle, HBO Documentary on Miracle, Top Shelf, Canada/Russia 72, Don Cherry Rockem Dockem

Legends of Hockey Profiles, Slapshot, All 3 Mighty Ducks, Happy Gilmour (Know it's golf but he was a hockey player and it's sort of)

4) Green

5) Yeah

Answer 3

1) 115 and no humidity isn't that bad. Try 115 AND about 40% humidity. I worked in that weather at a friend's shop inbetween semesters.

2) I would actually prefer the season tickets to the Canadien.

Gretz was awesome but on the old Oilers i was more of a Jari Kurri fan (just like on the Stars i prefer Lehtinen to Modano)

3) Les Boys 1, 2, 3, 4 (a Quebecois hockey movie), Maurice Richard, Slap Shot, Ultimate Gretzky - can anyone burn me a copy of Mystery?, can't find a copy of it on DVD anywhere :(

4) Green for St. Patrick's, but what I would like even more is if on St Jean Baptiste (24th of June) the Habs had blue and a huge Quebec flag at centre ice :)

5) Good idea .. it would be a bit pricey though and I think teams would be better off maintaining better ice come playoff time.

6) Rub it in and make it Leafs blue and white .. I know a lot of people from Ontario down here who would pay "mucho dinero" for it. Bring it on.

Answer 4

1. Stanley Cup final game with temp over 115 degrees. Seeing Tampa and Florida have both made the finals already i think its gonna happen.

2. Gretzky jersey signed. Priceless gift, except on Ebay

3. Don Cherry's Rockem Sockem 3-9

4. Green for st. pattys day. The pink ice has been done already. St. Mikes in the OHL did it this year for breast cancer

5. i dont know, if your going to have an outdoor feeling, it just doesnt seem right to have it in the hot states. The original 6 would be the only ones, seeing that they get snow every year, i say no

6. I take that car and help sponsor someone who is looking to compete in the next demolition derby

Answer 5

1. 115 degrees. Relax Howler, the Yotes will win the cup in the future, lol.

2. Season tickets.

3. Just a bunch of greatest goals and hits.

4. Red for Socialism! LMAO

5. That might be a cool idea.

6. Wouldn't do it, got too much pride to have an Avs or Ducks logo on my ride.

I couldn't get 6 since the additional details don't show up when typing an answer. Had to answer first.

Thanks Howler!

Answer 6

1.115 Degrees, there is no way that all the players wouldn't have a beard unless bettman made up a new rule

2.Season tickets, I would want the jersey, but i have always wanted season tickets! i only go to like 2 games a season.

3.NHL Greatest Moments, Canes Stanley cup dvd, and miracle

4.Pink, it would be funny i think just because hockey is such a tough sport. plus it could support breast cancer which is a good cause.

5.Ya that would be cool even though i doubt it would ever be open in north carolina

6.A car is a car! i would take it! 1 year would go by fast i just wouldn't drive it to any games.

Answer 7

1- 115 degrees

2-season tickets,cause I can sell some and but a gretzky jersey for 650.00

3-slapshot count?

4-Pink because that means you have more season left (Feb)

5-No,Fun idea but too much money and it messes with tradition

Answer 8

1. no beard

2. jersey, all ready got the tickets

3. don't own any but i saw the mighty ducks ones

4. pink, my favorite color

5. no, then there would be bugs and the sound wouldnt rumble as much

Answer 9

1) 115 degrees.

2) Season tickets!

3) none, actually. i might buy some soon though.

4) Orange for Halloween.. But really only because orange is my favorite color lol

5) The Mellon Arena has that option, but they've rarely opened it up. I think that'd be cool though.

6) Helllz yeah i would take the car!

http://b1.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/00925...

^ I would get that painted on it. It DOES have the logo, i'd just spice it up a bit =P

Answer 10

1. A Stanley Cup final game where the temp outside the arena is over 115 degrees~ with the global warming going it wont be that far away!

2. GRETZKY JERSEY!!!

3. uh just some great saves and goals

4. Green

5. lol that would be pretty cool but thats more of a baseball thing!

Answer 11

1) Stanley Cup final game where the temp outside the arena is over 115 degrees

2) Season Tix

3) i own the Mighty Ducks trilogy and Miracle

4) Green

5) i guess

2. First one..autographs don't compare to great times. ;]

3. idk..

4. Green...I love St. Pattys Day. Plus green's my favorite color

:]

5. No, because hockey is in the winter, and winter in Boston is cold. More enjoyable without it. :]

6. Well, I don't have my license... :] I probably would..and then get a paint job :]

Answer 14

1. Final where the temperature outside is over 115 degrees. Some traditions will never change (the playoff beards) and never should.

2. Season tickets, it is extremely difficult to get Leafs season tickets.

3. None surprisingly. Maybe this summer though.

4. Green for St Pat's, and for the Leafs it would actually mean something since they used to be called the Toronto St Pat's.

5. Yes, that would be nice, to have them open the roof on a perfect winter's day that is not too cold.

Answer 15

1) lol neither will happen but imma say the arena temp... i mean its in june... itll be hot... just gotta hope tampa or florida can get real good

2) Season tickets..never a fan of Gretzky

3)  Hockeytown, Return To Hockeytown, Red Alert: Hockeytown 3, Miracle... sadly I think thats it lol

4)  Red for the Red Wings

5)  no, I'd rather not.

Answer 16

1. A)

2. Season Tickets

3. The Rocket, Alexi Kovalev's new dvd

4. Pink :)

5. Yes

Answer 17

1. A Stanley Cup final game where the temp is over 115 degrees outside the arena.  Players will always have a playoff beard.

2. Season tickets to the Red Wings!

3. Um...I'm lame...the only hockey related DVD I have is "Miracle" about the 1980 US hockey team.  Hey it's a good movie.  And I've seen Youngblood, the Mighty Ducks (all 3...they were released when I was young enough to watch them and still be cool), some documentary on the 1980 US hockey team.  I know I've seen other hockey movies, but I'm sick and at work so I can't think that well.

4. I like the black idea...that would make for some entertainment.  Or orange...mix it up a little bit.

.

5. That would be fun to see...but I like the closed in arena.  Makes the crowd louder.

6. No...with the way gas prices are, I'll keep my gas efficient car with my Red Wings logo on it.

Answer 18

1) Stanley cup game with outside temps of 115. It has come close here and I am sure where you are Howler

2)Season tickets. I already have Gretzky's autograph

3)I have Miracle and the HBO special Do you believe in Miracles? I did have a copy of Slapshot too.I loaned it to a friend and they lost it.  I also have a copy of a DVD my team made many years ago about us playing our cross state rivals. It is rather funny to watch now. I have seen Pretty much every hockey movie except the Rocket.

4)I can deal with Pink Ice for one day. The puck will show up better on that

5)NO not really. It like my roof on the ice closed. Storms happen fast here in Florida. The roof would not close in time and the ice would get really messed up

6) Free car. I can deal with any logo on my hood for a year. No biggie for me. Free car. Yeah

Answer 19

1. A Stanley Cup final game where the temp outside the arena is 115 degrees. It's called global warming.........my friend Pronger knows all about it from last night, lol.

2. AUTOGRAPHED GRETZKY JERSEY!

3. I have a Wayne Gretzky video tape from the 80s that use to be my dads. Also.....I have Slapshot somewhere.

4. Green.

5. Yeah........It'd be kind of cool.

The Mellon arena has a retractable roof, but they don't retract it anymore.

6. I accept it. Even if it is a Red Wing or Flyer symbol.....

Answer 20

1. I'll go with the first choice ;)

2. I would love season tickets, but I couldn't take them because of college, so I have to go with the jersey by default

3. None. I have some on VHS though

4. I liked the blue ice. During the lockout the Americans played a few games at HSBC Arena, and they made the ice blue (and the red lines were orange) and it looked pretty cool.

5. Yeah

6. Psh, yeah I'd do it. Although I strongly dislike Ottawa, I want a car

Answer 21

1) 115 degrees.

2) Season tickets, personally

3) I own Miracle, and have also seen Mystery, Alaska and all three Mighty Ducks movies.

4) Green for St. Patty's Day.  I can't stand pink.

5) No.  Retracable roofs are more of a baseball thing.

6) Hey, if it's a brand new vehicle and I don't have to pay, I'd endure having the logo on there for a year.

Answer 22

1.Neither i hope i guess 115 degrees is better but it will be hot in the arena too right?

2. Season tickets ( i just found out today for sure i got them)

3. None :(

4. Haha pink that'll show the toughness and dedication of the players to go play on pink ice

5. Yeah that would be amazing!

Answer 23

115 degrees

season tickets, i cant own any oilers jersey, but i would take an autographed kings jersey of #99

too many to list

pink i would find it hilarious but it could also raise awareness for breast cancer

that is an interesting idea but i think that only the northern teams would use them, so yes

Answer 24

1.  I would love to say neither, but I know that ruins the question…so I’ll say 115 degrees.  I am not a strong believer in global warming when I talked to my family up north last week, and they said it was STILL snowing.  I guess Phoenix has a possibility to will the Stanley Cup, and I know it gets over a hundred degrees there.  Down here in Florida it usually just stays in the mid to high 90’s all summer long…..still freaking miserable…I prefer colder weather.  I love wearing hoodies, jackets and sweaters…wrapping yourself up in a big blanket on the couch while watching TV, and seeing your own breath.  I hate being so hot you stick to furniture, getting sunburned, and sweating all the time!…..what was the question again?  Lmao.

2.  Season tickets – in the first level are $3,000 to $7,500, and you can get a signed Gretzky Oilers jersey for $1,100…So, please give the season tickets.  I don’t really like jerseys, anyhow.  

3.  I own Miracle.  I was jones’in during the lockout, and I had never seen it…so I bought it.  I’ve watched it twice.  It’s not too bad for a Disney production.  I have seen all of them… Slapshot, Mystery Alaska, Youngblood, (hangs head in shame) and even Hockey Mom.

4.  How about black for Ash Wednesday…lmao…then watch the stupid Americans try to follow the puck.  ***Disclaimer I am a stupid American. I was just making a joke.  Freaking Lighten up people!

5.  Yes!  I asked this like 5 months ago...considering everyone was jerking it after seeing the Winter Classic.  It wouldn’t work down here…but it would be pretty neat in some places.  

6.  If you throw in free insurance and free gas…I’m in.  How do you like my Panther Bugatti Veyron.

Answer 25

1. Stanley Cup final where the players do not have beards will likely happen in ten years.

2. Autographed Wayne Gretzky jersey, only because season tickets would be a waste (I couldn't make every Penguins game during the season because of my work schedule, even if I wanted to).

3. Ultimate Gretzky; Ten Greatest Games In Pittsburgh Penguins History; Mark Messier: Leader, Champion, Scorer; Miracle; Lord Stanley's Cup; Greatest Game Sevens In Stanley Cup History; Hockey: A People's History; a Minnesota Wild hockey DVD; NHL All Access; a Mario Lemieux DVD I got off ebay; 1994 New York Rangers Playoffs DVD; and Slapshot.

4.Green!

5. Yes (although I wish the new Penguins' arena would have one just like Mellon).

6. Since my dream car is the BMW 350i, then I can take it being adorned with Philadelphia Flyers logos.

Answer 26

A Stanley Cup where the Temp outside is 115+, playoff beards will never die.

Season tickets, not a big Gretz fan lol.

Slap Shot, Youngblood, Mystery Alaska, Miracle, Mighty Ducks (1-3) from when I was little, 3 Don Cherry Rock em' Sock ems' and the Rangers Cup Highlights video.

**Seen, too many to name.

St. Patty's day green, the only time pink should be on the ice is after a good scrap.

Nope. No interest.

Yep, My choice would be VERY expensive, and I don't live that close to my teams fan stronghold so I wouldn't even get grief about it.

Answer 27

1.) Temperature over 115.  GLOBAL WARMING!  There will always be at least one guy who's growing the beard.

2.) Season tickets.  He is the Great One, but I was only 8 when he retired.  Didn't really get to watch him play.  That kind of sucks.  I don't appreciate him as much as he deserves.

3.) Miracle and NHL Greatest Moments

4.) I'd go black.  That would look wicked.  Except nobody would be able to see the puck, so I'm going green for St. Patty's.

5.) Nah.  Hockey's meant to be in a rink.  This isn't baseball.
