It's not a terrible thing this has been bumped, it's still relevant. It's just really annoying when a concept/request thread or an event-centred thread gets bumped. Might as well explain the motive behind my madness: Ottawa Senators: My favourite of all favourite teams, growing up and living in the city, they were always going to turn out to be a favourite of mine. Oddly enough when I was younger, I was a true Canadiens fan; but grew out of that around the lockout era. I've been a devout fan ever since. Until this season Everton: Slightly more complicated story here. I started playing soccer when I was young, but only really started watching soccer at the 2006 world cup. Even after that I was never immersed in soccer that much, as where I live it's not popular at all. My first soccer video game was FIFA 08 and when I started playing that, I decided to pick a team. That team wasn't Everton, it was Chelsea. A team that I gravitated towards already through headlines and news about them winning championships and just being good. Not being from England, I felt no shame in cheering for a team just because they were good. So, as my feelings for soccer grew, I continued cheering for Chelsea. I really enjoyed it when they won the Champions league. But I always had some teams that I respected alongside Chelsea, that would almost take a #2 spot. One, obviously being Everton. So at the start of this season, when I truly immersed myself into the sport, I found myself tending to go for the underdog, I also liked Everton's style of play and their players. So after a few months, my feelings towards the two sides had flipped. I found myself cheering for Everton, while I still respected Chelsea, but also felt like I was cheering for them even though I didn't know anything about them for so long. Toronto Blue Jays: I don't like to talk about this. Chicago Bears: I can't really put a finger on why I like them, they were just a team that I gravitated towards that wasn't the Bills, Browns or Patriots. I'd say that they're the #2 or 3 team in Ottawa though, so I'm not alone in any sorts for cheering for them. Saskatchewan Roughriders: Well, there's the whole name connection with Ottawa's old team, also, I just hate the Allouettes. I also try to cheer for one FIFA team from each continental association, since Canada sucks and I need options. They are: Canada, Ecuador, Belgium, Ghana, Australia, and New Zealand. I'm not going to go into detail into all of them, but besides Ghana, they all have a connection to me and are where some of my friends live.

Promising, but if you have to go to Canada to learn what the NHL is about, I don't think they're right there just yet. -

Yeah, but that number would probably go up for an NHL game. Very few people [sorry] really care about the ECHL. 59% in the south is a really good number. -

But just think of the new style of dressing rooms the players would be begging to join the team for And the intermission shows. My god, who WOULDN'T want a team there -

Set up bleachers on the riverbank, play hockey on the Red in Winnipeg in February. Boom. Done. What, on an ice surface 10 feet wide? -
Well, the entirety of the Premier League is absent from the page.

The uniforms actually aren't bad and IMO the logo is a massive upgrade, but the helmet is too fugly for words.

If you have email notifications, you can still see, or you can check under "Liked Content" (or whatever it says) on your profile. It got screwed up at the same time as the quotes, so I'm guessing that neither are coming back any time soon. Has anyone heard in lieu of that if there's a chance that they'll come back before the next "system upgrade" or soon, or at all? -

^that was my exact same question word for word about a year ago And Mr.Nascar, all my profile pictures have been .png, so that's not the problem. Are you sure the file SIZE is under 100 kb? -
They need some black. OK done.

Make the black near the cuffs, and the white near the collar on the home sweater, and you have a nice set there.

I concur, it looked great for Lake Erie, and with hem stripes instead of piping/nothing, it could have been a great template.

His account was activate over three years ago, pretty long for 30 posts. Could it have timed out at all? -

It leaves room though for relocation inside Arizona, because I'm pretty sure Bettman won't let them leave. -

How about London On. AND London UK. Just to make the tens of people who care about hockey in the UK happy and to avoid confusion with the less geographically inclined of us. -
