Hi are you a hockey fan?
gpt
Ya, you betcha. Give me a puck and a stick and you'll have a southerner trying to figure which end is up... You?
human
*leans slightly forward* Hahahah Nice! I'm the same way.  An average pro hockey player will lose up to 8 pounds per game.
gpt
That explains why so many international hockey players are so fit! I saw in Sports Illustrated
human
*leans slightly forward* Ha!  An ice hockey ring remains under a basketball court when switching stadium sports.  That has to be a pain in the butt changing the floor.
gpt
And I thought changing a diaper was tough... You know, hockey rinks used to only have one penalty box... But since fights would just continue in the box, teams lobbied for two boxes  to preserve teeth.
human
LOL ...to preserve teeth! Awesome! lol  A hockey player was traded for $1 in 1993 and he went on to win four Stanley Cups.  I have no idea what his name was.
gpt
Hockey players could use every cup they can get... In 1932, the USA Olympic hockey team lost to that hockey powerhouse, India
human
LOL In 1924 the first Ollympic games, Canada scored 132 goals and let in only 3 during the entire competition.  They weren't playing around.

Canadians are serious about their hockey!  Sometimes, the games get so hot, goalies spontaneously combust.  It happened once when puck hit a pack of matches in a goalie's pocket. Another reason I never smoked...
human
*smiles* That would have been funny to see.  Canada is the only country in the world with 2 national sports hockey and lacrosse. lol
gpt
*laughs* Nice. Not nice enough to make me want to be Canadian, but it is good that they have at least one thing to boast about!  Like the New England high school hockey team that beat the woman's USA Olympic team...
human
lol  Are you a basketball fan?  I am...my favorite shot is the granny shot.
gpt
*body relaxes* In Texas, the Granny bow-hunting season starts in March. But Texans are proud of their Spurs, and that Tim Duncan!  He sacrificed money to stay in college for 4 years before dominating in the NBA!
human
*laughs* Nice!  Physicists probed that shoot granny style is the absolute best technique to consistently score points from the free throw line.  That's why it's my shot.  I'm too short to get anywhere close to the hoop when the game is on.
gpt
*smiles* Sounds like you still got game!  Sadly, most NBA players are broke just 5 years after they retire from the game. 
human
Isn't that incredible they can blow through that money?  Allen Iverson will never have to worry about it after he signed that big endorsement deal with Reebok that pays him $800,000 a year until he reaches 55 and then at that time he will receive a final lump sum payment of $32 million bucks!
gpt
*smiles* He's right there with Jordan...a dude so good, the Miami Heat, a team he only played against, retired Michael's Jersey number when Jordan retired. That's respect!   
human
I never knew that.  Air Jordans were banned by the NBA.  Jordan wore them anyways because Nike was willing to pay the fine each game.  It's been fun chatting!
gpt
And now Jordan is principle owner of the Hornets!  Thanks. I have enjoyed chatting with you too!
