I do this crazy thing every year where I devote nearly 41 evenings and over $1000 buying tickets and nearly an additional $1000 in food and drink supporting this one hockey team called the Los Angleles Kings.
There has been all kinds of different hard working players on the ice over the years.
There was a captain that never let us down (#14), a young upstart Russian with a sick wrap-around, a whole season of "Is Deadmarsh skating at least?".
I cried when Gretsky retired even though he wasn't in a King's uniform.
I watch Storr drag himself from the bench to the ice a few times more than I'd liked to.
I watched Avery break the fourth wall, do push-ups, ice goalies and talk smack.
I know and really genuinely like the people in my section so that the worst game is still pretty okay.
But my interest is in the game of hockey and the players.
I'd go if there wasn't beer.
I'd go if there wasn't hot dogs.
I'd go if there wasn't player cards.
I'd go if there wasn't a chance in hell that we ever win the cup and never make playoffs again.
Ice Girls are superfluous.
But thanks for asking.
WOW! You're the only one! Hrm, wait...
I'd go if there wasn't beer.
I'd go if there wasn't hot dogs.
I'd go if there wasn't player cards.
I'd go if there wasn't a chance in hell that we ever win the cup and never make playoffs again.
AND...
I'd go (and have been for years) if there weren't ice girls.
EVERYTHING that happens between whistles is "superfluous." Should everyone bring a bag to put over their head every time the ref blows the whistle so we don't do anything but watch hockey while we're at the rink?
People go to hockey games to be entertained. Yes, it is ENTERTAINMENT. Just like the kiss cam, the sumo hockey, the prize giveaways, the kids playing hockey between periods, and all the other **** that happens outside of the game that keeps people ENTERTAINED when the game isn't on. Shockingly in a male dominated sport, that includes tits and asses.
I suppose a man could go to a taping of the Oprah show and then bitch that it wasn't "action packed," but that would just make him a stupid, whiny bitch.

What is wrong with having a little fun/entertainment with the game? Do you really think these girls are going to hurt the Kings at all? No, they did that the other 81 games of the season. Is it going to make a difference as to whether or not I go to a game? Of course not. I just don't get the rampant hatred. If you need to vent, do it about something that matters. Bag on Deano, Crawford, AEG, the players... something of substance. To spend your energy hating on a group that has nothing to do with why the Kings have sucked this season is just silly.

Kiss cam? Fan participation. A nod to the all the different kinds of people in the crowd and some affection. I really like it when they choose the older couples. It's sweet.
Sumo Hockey? Fan participation. A little bonus for coming to Staples. If you get chosen it's memorable and fun!
Prize Giveaways? Fan participation, albeit mostly cross-marketing. Remember when Pavol scored a hat trick on hat night sponsored by McDonalds? Yeah? We didn't have hat night this year that I can remember... wonder why?
Kids playing hockey between periods? Fan Participation, focusing on hockey playing kids. Sometimes very very little kids. They will never ever forget playing between periods during a Kings Game. You have to go around back and down deep in the bowels of TSC and wait in that hallway for the period to be over. YOU'RE right there on the ice! It's incredible!!
You're closing sentence says a lot about you.
Enjoy your Ice Girls, because apparently it's about time that AEG recognizes and caters to the dominating male gender in the world of hockey and provides even MORE "tits and asses" for you to enjoy!
Tropicana shut down, you know, there's a bunch of female mud wrestlers looking for a gig.

It sure does. It says I don't go to a PETA fundraiser dinner and complain there's no foie gras.

Wet T shirt contest, anyone?
Sounds good to me. When the Kings win the cup the girls can soap it up car wash style, dry it with their thongs, and polish it with their bare breasts. If for no other reason than to piss you off and make you even more bitter, if that's even possible.

I'd go to a Kings game if it were local to me. I don't need any other promotions or eye candy. I'm a hockey fan through and through. There's other sports that I can occassionally watch, but when I do it has to be professional and only professional. Hockey is the only sport that I can sit through high school, college, pro, minor, junior, and whatever other level there is to witness. I just enjoy the sport and it just happens that the Kings are my team.
There is one lie in what I said though, I do have a hard time watching women's hockey. Or at least certain levels of women's hockey. I saw a women's high school hockey game on TV a few weeks ago and the pace was so slow. So there you go, I guess I don't like women in hockey, haha. I'm sure it was just cause it was high school though. Maybe if it was Cammi Granato it'd have been much better. Then again, I remember Manon Rheume ...................

might be the way you worded that one there, but i guess that means you wouldn't like unruely or me.
although, i didn't play on a girls' high school team... and i love manon rhéaume.
