For all you hockey fans out there in the world today, this post is for you! Seriously, just this post. This is it. The only hockey post I'll write for probably the next year. Unless they come out with the National Hot Chicks Hockey League or something like that (this surely ain't it) in the next year or so. If that happens, we will probably be writing many, many posts about hockey. But that is neither here nor there. So for all those that haven't heard (and where the hell have you been living if you haven't), the Portland Winterhawks are currently battling their way through the WHL playoffs and are in the finals. The FINALS PEOPLE! They are playing Kootenay, and the series is tied 1-1 right now. If you don't believe me, see for yourself.
I'm not trying to be too harsh here, but the mascot for the hockey team based in Kootenay is the ice. And I think it's the dumbest mascot in the world. No you're not reading that wrong. That is not a typo. Nothing else, just ice. That's it. Not Icemen, or Icemonsters, or Icedogs. Just ice. And that, my friends, is uncreatively dumb enough to earn the award for Least Creative Sports Team Mascot Ever. Now no, that is not an official award or anything, nor is there an award for that is existence yet, but if there was...you get the picture.
It's like calling a baseball team the Portland "Baseball Diamonds" or a football team the Oregon "Football Fields". It deserves to get mocked incessantly for at least a day and a half, right?
I have to get going now. I can't miss the tip off of the Oakland "Basketball Courts" game. They're my favorite team. Oh wait, scratch that, I might have to DVR that game, because I just saw that there's a rugby match on between the Auckland "Rugby Fields" and the Wellington "Rugby Pitches". It's a totally fierce rivalry and stuff. I can't wait!
