What does AT&T have to do with hockey?

Question

Okay, so now there's been three or four AT&T questions that have been misdirected to the Hockey Section. I fail to see what connection there could be between AT&T and hockey. Am I missing something here? (Grr, stupid updates!)

Anyway. The lack of hockey news lately is a killer. What especially hurts my head these days though is "news" about no news. Like the "news" about Mats Sundin not having made a decision yet. What? That's not news. Nothing has changed, so it would be the same to not report anything (as there's nothing to report!).

Speaking of that particular situation, today I read a Yahoo! article about retiring or not retiring that I thought was short but okay (has some wise words from Stevie Y and Joe Nieuwendyk): http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=AtWMWGTOt0hdrVOYhMeL7MJ7vLYF?slug=cp-nhl_retirement_advice&prov=cp&type=lgns

Answer 1

You know there is a perfectly good reason for that, Erica. Since the new season will be starting soon enough a lot of rookies will be scoring their first goal. And what's the first thing a rookie does when he scores his first NHL goal? That's right, he phones home. And which carrier is he most likely to use? That's right, AT&T. Right now during the silly season GMs are phoninh each other trying to make those all important deals, and who is providing the long distance service that is so overwhelmingly preffered by NHL general managers all accross America? Right again, AT&T. So remember, next time you're in the market for a long distance provider, don't go with some wannabe, fly by night, Sprint to the bank, company.  Do what the pros do. go with the big guys, go AT&T.

Answer 5

I just popped my head in here and I was wondering which sections the hockey regulars have been harassing lately.  The majority of the first page was either non-hockey or rag on hockey.  Is the balance that far off without me here?

Answer 6

Maybe they were referring to Lidstrom or Rob Davisons "Long distance" goals.

Answer 7

Nips: lmfaoo. Talbot can just have his own line, in my opinion. love that man.

Anywho: I'm pretty sure they advertise for the Penguins. But, again, no clue why that would matter lol

Answer 8

AT&T? Come on, you are a Pens fan and still dont know. I am totally upset with you...

It refers to the ALL Taffe & Talbot line! They dont need no stinking 3rd guy on their line. They are just that good as a 2some! And you thought WWGRD? was a good saying?
