sorry, i think i'll root for the underdog--go predators!
And whyyyyyyy do you think they are popular? Because they RULE THE RINK! The Predators? Tee hee. They had to teach Tennessee people about hockey just to gather up a fan base. Remember the weird swooshy puck they used a couple years ago? They wanted to make it easier for new fans to follow.
Yeah, where's Nikki when I need her? |

Wooo! Stevie Y! The Captain...at least always in our hearts. Should I mention again how I had my picture taken with the Stanley Cup and then the guy who took the picture never gave it to me, even though we worked in the same building for a YEAR!!! |

When you said Paisley my first thought was the pattern, not the place. I was thinking that was quite a wimpy name for a team! |

Is it true they are allowed to beat the shite out of each other until one of them falls down ?

No, they can continue beating even if one of them falls down. Even both. |

That's where the pattern gets it's name from. There was a massive weaving industry in Paisley back in days of yore, It's actually an Indian pattern from the Kashmir region but even back in those days we were already stealing stuff.
