Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) ESPN asks who is the early favorite in the 2010 Olympics and Canada was chosen overwhelmingly. But in Nebraska, Virginia, and Michigan the results were different, especially Michigan. In Virginia, Canada had the slimmest margin of 36% with Russia at 31%. Kansas had the US as the closest challenger at 30% to Canada's 38%. Michigan is the only anomoly on the whole global map with Sweden favored by 40% to runner-up Canada's 28%.

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 I had no idea Lilja read ESPN.com... Lilja is actually quite well-read and partakes of a diverse cornucopia of information whilst surfing the Interweb. And if you have a problem with that he'll score a goal on you, fight you, then assist on your game-winner against him. So there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 (edited) Great! If he fights me, then I'll actually get to witness one of his legendary fights that only come around about once or twice a year. It has been commonly reported that the Cleveland Barons franchise was dissolved due to ownership issues. This is not true. Andreas Lilja traveled backward through time and beat every player on the team into oblivion. Their ashes were scattered over Lake Erie where they were promptly and unceremoniously ingested by some carp. It was a clash so epic that it blew the top and bottom corners off of the Ohio state flag leaving it looking like a piece of delicious blueberry pie, just like Grandma used to make before the old bag was tossed in a home for spitting on people. Lilja will eat your children. Edited August 27, 2008 by Chunkylover Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not to burst the rant bubble, because those were some good rants you had going, but Nickelback is actually from Canada Not to be confused with the Nickelback position in football, which is of course as American as winning 8 gold medals on a diet of junk food.

Chunkylover 26 Report post Posted August 27, 2008 Was he also responsible for the failure of the California Golden Seals? I think the Seals became the Barons. Checking Wikipedia... yes the franchise moved to Cleveland. Interestingly, according to Wikipedia, the Seals/Barons owners then merged the team with the North Stars before starting the San Jose Sharks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
