Top 10 Ways To Fake An Interest In Hockey

DMtShooter Five Tool Tool by Correspondent Written on October 01, 2009

Want to pass with the puckhead in your office? Care to score points with a Canadian? Need a way to explain your mullet? Then just drop one of these ten time-tested tidbits that will make you look less like a hoser, eh. (And don't worry about the 25-year-old quasi-joke. That's big comedy to hockey fans!)

10) Pretend to get choked up over how Wayne Gretzky won't be coaching the Coyotes anymore.

9) Assuming you don't speak French, talk about how much you hate the Montreal Canadians.

8) Talk about how much you enjoy watching the Flyers lose every year, despite their high priced off-season additions (this year, it's named Chris Pronger).

7) Mention how much you are looking forward to the game that's being held outside.

6) Give whoever you are talking to a hockey player nickname by adding "sie" to the end of their last name.

5) Compare NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to any of history's greatest monsters.

4) Say that if your team can't win the Stanley Cup, it's OK, just so long as it's not Detroit again.

3) Complain about how little ESPN covers the sport, and make disparaging remarks about anything else the network shows (poker is always a good target).

2) Wish that you could go see more games in person, but you have this crazy desire to keep eating.

1) Say that now that the world has high definition television, the sport is bound to take off in popularity, since that's clearly the last piece of the puzzle.
