[Hockeyholic]

I made a thread asking what would happen if a team left the the without shaking hands. What if we eliminate the handshake line all together? Why would a team that lose want to congratulate players who shattered their dreams?

Thoughts?

I think the fans of each team should have to shake hands after the series too.

Just that you asked that question tells me there's a lot you don't "get". Then I saw where you're from and it explains everything.

I think a lot of fans don't understand sportsmanship.

How are you gonna "eliminate" this??? I believe its just a tradition, not an official NHL rule... Do you want to ban handshakes, or what???

Yeah I do. The competiveness in a guy should prevent them from wish I g a guy that shattered their dreams: " Good luck"

What would happen if aliens poisoned our water supply?

Oh my God we should stop drinking water.

We should eliminate the handshake line, and replace it with a “One handed hug, kiss on the cheek “ line. Knock em down a peg.

I can't even imagine where one would begin in trying to explain the word "class" to someone from Philadelphia.

Maybe Philadelphia should be eliminated from having an NHL franchise, then the chances of a team not wanting to do the handshake after a series would drop to 0%

What do the Flyers have to do with this? Because I'm automatically living their means I'm a fan?

I'm a competitive person. I'm not going to shake a guy's hands that beat me. But that's just me.
