Bigger Sport, Better Following: Hockey Side

Could Kobe Take a hit like this? Not in your liftime buddy.

Sean Avery: The most unforgiving badass in sports. This guy is only 5'10 190 pounds and he starts more fights then anyone in the league, thats balsy considering the avergage NHL player is over 6 feet tall and 205 pounds. I don't think Ron Artest would challenge Shaq to a fight, multiple times in a season. I mean Ron Artest did rage into the stand to kick the shit out of some fat drunk white guy yaya thats tough, but hes a 6 foot 7 260 pounds professional athlete...lets be real. Avery is also the only third string left wing to date a supermodel and propel himself to superstar status, that just takes charisma. Sean Avery is an animal and he has an extreme loyal following of fans, whose mad more tabloids lately Artest or Avery? I rest my case.

More Loyal Fans: Ok ok I know what your thinking basketball has a bigger market and is a bigger sport but lets realisticlly look at this. Hockey had a player strike for a year, and the fans are still loyal and following, that is commitment.. The hartford whalers have been gone for over 10 years and there are still banners in the XL center, shirts, jackets and fans everywhere, now that is loyalty. Many writers and followers of this blog still love the whalers. Also Hockey, besides lacrosse is the oldest sport in America and has a rich history and tradition. Hockey has been around for over a hundred years, do you think ti would hace survived without outstanding fans? I think not.

Bigger Dynast, Red Wings: The Detroit Red Wings define hockey dynasty. This is a team that won 3 stanley cups in only 6 years with a great mix of vets and young guns. This team has the great veteran leadership (Lidstrom, Yzerman, Federov) and talented young played to be qualified as a dynasty and there only gonna get better. They are in contention every year and are legitamate threats, unlike the braves for example, they also have the money to make the signings they need. Not to mention Dan Kramer has had the same Red Wings had since George Washington was president.

I would like to thank Rza for coming up with these debates, My fellow writer Dylan Sellberg for making this dual post possible and Mutual University for being the best blog on the internet and especialyl the best blog to come outta Lewis Mills. (to many posers)
