NHL: Trying to help Holmes out here's my Tea-bag Friday questions.?

Question

1). If you could pick a Department store to sponsor your team what would it be?

2). What animal describes your favorite player. Please name both...

3).Do you feel the league should go back to white home Jerseys?

4).Should arena's have a smoking section/humidor that let's you schmogg and watch the game together.

5). What snack food most resembles your team.

6). What is your favorite intermition game?

7).Do you think if a camera was mounted under the ice in the goal mouth it would help goal calls??

Answer 1

1) Sears. The Islanders are in serious need of some Craftsman home improvement.

2) Rick DiPietro reminds me of a German Shepard. Two bad hips and doesn't live long.

3)Not a big difference. I do like it that they wear their "colors" at home, though.

4)Only if it's encased in glass at one end of the arena so the schmoggg doesn't spead out and choke out the players or fans and blur the views.

5)Beer. They need something to help them score!!

6)Intermission at LV Wranglers games has a sponge puck toss, whoever gets closest to the center bulls-eye usually wins an auto game -used jersey. The Duke(mascot) throwing T-shirts is popular. Watching drunk puck bunny fans of the opposing team is always a riot.

7)No, Sean Avery would just stick his head in the net and mug for the camera, "Hi,mom", and hold up a John 3:16 sign.

****Homes- After seeing your response to #6, it's a good thing that's all you swallowed! LOL,jk.....       :O..... :)

Answer 2

1. Walmart.... I just like Walmart..

2. Patrice Bergeron-A Bruin ;D haha..get it. :]

3. Doesn't matter to me.

4. Nope. Tobacco is Whacko.

5. Uhh..popcorn..cause it's yellow. :]

6. Yes?

EDIT: Skipped 6..so that 6 should be a 7..AND

6. I'm not sure how many places do this,possibly a lot, possibly not. BUT, they park a car in front of the net and you have to try and shoot it into the net, and usually it's like 30 year old men that miss like every shot, and then one time some girl on my team did it, made every shot and beat the old guy :]

Answer 3

1. Sears.

2. Yzerman is like an eagle, there to lead the way.

3. Don't matter to me.

4. Yea, sure.

5. The Red Wings are like Flamin' Hot Cheetos, because they are on fire! The Blue Jackets are like lunch meat, doesn't get you very far, you are still hungry after wards.

6. No idea.

7. For sure.

EDIT - People give head at Pee-wee games!? Where was that when I played in the Pee-Wee League? No one offered me any. Thanks a lot Haley, now I am going to be uber-jealous for the rest of the day, and slightly depressed. LMAO

Answer 4

1)  Sports Authority

2)  Tiger - Marty Biron; his eyes look like cat eyes and he has cat like reflexes :)

3)  No way!  I love the Flyers black jerseys.

4)  No, smoking kills :)

5)  Umm... What resembles my Flyers... something orange... I dunno.

6)  Intermission game?

7)  Maybe

Answer 5

1. Um, hm...I don't know. Probably K-Mart because they're cheap like Sabres management (Thomas Vanek notwithstanding).

2. That one's too easy. Paul Gaustad, so a goose of course!

3. Teams can wear white at home if they want to, and I kinda like the idea that they can wear whatever they dam well please in their house. I say leave it be.

4. Ew, no way. I would venture a guess that most people in the arenas wouldn't want to breathe that, and besides, how do you juggle a beer, a giant foam finger, a cheesy sign, and a lit cigarette without causing all kinds of hate and discontent?

5. Perry's "Top Shelf Sundae" ice cream!

6. At OSU they have "grab for cash" where like $200 in ones gets dumped on the ice, then someone from the crowd gets chosen and tries to stuff as much of it in a bag as he or she can in one minute. The catch is, you're wearing hockey gloves while you're doing it. Great fun to watch!

7. Wouldn't it get scratched and stuff? Might be better off with a camera on the goal line built into the bars of the net, but I don't know how the electronics would work out there, either.

Answer 6

1.  Sears, they sell other manly stuff too.

2.  Zetterberg, Wolverine.

3.  DEFINITELY

4.  NO

5.  Hmmm, let me think... Oooh I know, WINGS.  I love them both.

6.  Shoot the puck through the tiny hole.

7.  hmmm, good idea, but not a very wide angle, would need many cameras.

Just so you all know the UNDER ice camera has been done, only at center ice, and it really is pretty lame.

Answer 7

1. Does Carhartt count? ok, how about Sears? or Lowe's?

2. Hasek - flounder (used to be favorite, until about 5 years ago, about to be retired within 4 more games; so i'm gonna keep going with this theme)

    Chelios - Triceratops

3. doesn't matter to me, but does anyone agree w/ me that if the team has an "ugly jersey" (depends on each person's opinion), but in most cases, it is the dark jersey, and not the white? so the uglies can be more tolerated by the home team. it also serves as a catalyst for making a better design, cuz it will affect the home fans more. (maybe a stretch)

4. sure, why not?

5. hot wings

6. spelling my name in the urinal

7. not any more than what they have now. i don't want too much technology.

Answer 8

1.) Red Wing Shoes (Detroit Red Wings)

2.) Lynx (Saku Koivu)

3.) Yes. This isn't the NFL.

4.) I don't smoke anymore, but I remember what a pain it was to go outside the arena to smoke. Every arena should have at least one smoking section/bar.

5.) Buffalo Wings! (Red Hot Red Wings!)

6.) Waiting in line for my 2 beers.

7.) Nope. They got a guy that does nothing but watch for that stuff... and they got video replay for goals.

Thanks! Great survey!

Answer 9

1) Sam the beer man, no explanation needed.

2) No idea, but Pat LaFontaine was my favorite

3) Absolutley, just because I like the whites

4) No smoking, just a personal choice

5) HMMM.....

6) Usually spend intermission at the mens room or the beer line so I don't know

7) It is worth a look definitly

Answer 10

1)Sears

2)Nik Lidstrom=leopard. Waiting to pounce on a puck patiently at the blue line  

3)No. dark sell more that is why the moved back to the original way in the first place

4)No.  

5) nachos. looks all over the place but is actually held together pretty well

6)Kids games

7)Sure. They have done that with the face off circles for the all star game. It can bee done under the goal line. But the hard part is placement It needs to be able to cover the entire span of the line . Not just one area. That is where a problem would come into play

Answer 11

1. d**k's Sporting Goods...no explaination required..lol

2. Favorite Player - King Henri Lundquist --Animal--Kung Foo Panda

3. Nope..I like the pretty colors

4. no smoking!! yuk!!

5. hmm...Icecream...make you feel young and its smooth!

6. Huh?

7. No...yes..i don't know!!

#6..gotcha..blonde moment..lol...I pee and refill my beer!

Answer 12

1. Macy's

2. Sergei Gonchar - Jaguar - He makes fast decisions & is a fast skater!

3. No, I like it the way it is.

4. No smoking!

5. Peanuts

6. Dancing contests & I like when they show videos on the jumbo-tron (not a game)

7. Yes

Answer 13

Thanks JO.  Good Questions!  You Rock!

1)  Does d**k's count?  No?  How about Sears?

2)  Vinny Lecavalier - giraffe, sucker has a long neck.

Jarome Iginla - Beaver?

3)  It doesn't matter to me.  I guess it would be less confusing for some people.  

4)  LMAO!  I know plenty of fans that would love that.  I know if you are on the 3rd level, you have to walk up and down so many stairs.  I would say there should be a smoking section on each level, but the smoking sections should be outside.  Not a smoker, but I don't discriminate against bad habits or addictions.

5)  Ahhhh.  Jolt?  It has a Lightning bolt on the label.  

6)  What are you talking about, Willis?  Ummm, giving head?  Does that count? (Edit:  Oh you mean AT the game!  LOL!  I am usually getting beer.  I would say, little pee-wee games.  I don't have children, but am a huge sucker for them.)

7)  Interesting concept.  I think it WOULD help.  Awesome idea.

Edit:  Laying Low!  Oh my Gosh!  Your #7 made me laugh so hard, I swallowed my gum!

JO: I don't give head to anything pee-wee.  LOL!

Answer 14

1.) Macy's.... either way my team gets a parade.

2.) I guess right now my favorite to watch is Gomez (sorry Blaze)

and I'd say he's a cheetah.

3.) Never really thought about it, I guess.

4.) Yeah why not.

5.) "Munchies"- Rangers.

We take alot of other teams top sellers then throw them in a bag with some of our own stuff.

6.) I love watching the mini mites, but I'll say the relay, where they have to run around then make a puck from the blue line.

7.) Yes. Good lucking figuring out how to make that work though.

Answer 15

1) Macy's - Sabres: Just like the Sabres this season, a lot of over-hyped attention at the beginning, with an ending of mediocure production.  (When a Macy's opens there's a lot of press and news, but I never see anyone actually buying anything there.)

2) Nick Lindstrom: Owl, wise, Older, patient.  Still has sharp talons and can be pretty gnarly on the attack.

3) YES! Thats the format I grew up watching.

4) Ehh, I'm a non-smoker, but I wouldn't care as long as it didn't effect me.

5) String cheese - Sabres defense, once it comes apart it's all over the place. (this is a soap box issue for me).

6) The squirt mini-games!

7) I think it would interfere with the integrity of the ice.
