Hear, hear!  Before we collectively sink to the level of lite-beer swilling,
"mine's-bigger-than-yours" fan-types who can't even spell INTERNET, lets
remember than we are (supposedly) the ***civilized*** college hockey fans.
I'd much rather stick to the historically good natured jibes levelled by my
articulate colleagues.  Let it be enough that we all support college hockey
itself above petty local loyalties.  After all, if you can't laugh at your
own team, who can you laugh at?  Heck, I don't mind a bit that JohnH's maize
'n blue used my Nooks for power-play practice...  well, maybe a bit!  :)
 
Cheerily yours,
Mark
