| 12 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Nothing like it at all...another thing about it is how rivalries stir the emotions (like Montreal/Toronto, Calgary/Edmonton, New York Rangers/New York Islanders/New Jersey Devils)   Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "Those rivalries can be taken to far at times, since the can only be one winner........ so that is that" | |
| 12 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Yeah...I’ve seen rivalries like that taken way too far before, by teams, players, and even fans...it’s shocking what can be brought out of people over these games.  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "Inhibitions goes out the window when emotions and pride is on the line....... people act differently form what the would on a "normal" day....... pride is a powerful thing..... those who can bury their pride are truly great people...." | |
| 12 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Pride is indeed powerful...some aren’t willing to hold it back easily...when you get wrapped up in something it’s hard to keep it in check.  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "yeah.........  " | |
| 12 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Amazing...we went from hockey to pride just like that lol  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "Well the two are interconnected some how so its not all that far apart....... from from hockey to emotions..... they are interconnected.... lol...." | |
| 12 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Right. A lot of emotion in hockey (and sports in general) so they are not so far away lol. That’s why I like coming here and talking to you. You probably have the most thought-out replies. It gets my brain thinking a lot.  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "Thought out?...... the only thing I do is speak my mind.. that’s all I’m letting out.....
All in all..... I don’t get to see so many Hockey games anymore.... the channel the NHL is on costs to much for me.... so I’m following the results (and not much more) on the web..... so this season I’ll probably be more cut off than last season...." | |
| 12 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Still, you get me thinking in ways I’ve never thought before. Like hockey and emotion. I’ve always seen it, but never really thought about it until now. That sucks.  The time difference between Norway and North America can’t help much either. =/  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "Yeah it does kind of suck.......Its never live matches either its as live after the fact..... A few games get played at noon local time for the game... that puts it at the evening Norwegian time..... well, well could be worse..... I could had been forced to see the Norwegian soccer team play Scotland the other day...... 0-0 result and apparently Norway was the dominant team.... I swear that national team has stage fright every time there is a world championship qualification match... not that I like soccer all that much.... hockey beats a soccer match every time" | |
| 13 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Ouch...  ...So when Detroit has an 7:00 pm Central time game, it’s the middle of the night for you. I cannot understand soccer at all. Maybe it’s because it’s not as popular here, but some of the rules are just like "What happened?"  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "I had the same feeling when I started watching hockey.... every time the referee called out something I had to pay attention to get what it was..... The main sport I grew up with was soccer.... so those rules are natural to me.... But again Hockey is a more entertaining sport...
Its getting late.... I’ve got to go.... Nice talking to you. Good night.... lol!" | |
| 13 Oct 2008 |  Nite Raider | Yeah, I was a bit confused too. After watching a few games I kinda got the feel for it. Hockey’s much faster too.
Nice talking to you too Bjorn. Good night! | |
| 13 Oct 2008 |  Heidi Hecht | Hi!!! *waves* How’s it going? I have a new thing going...the Offbeat Music Awards! Basically I made up a few categories and threw them up on my Art Profile Page and you can nominate any song you want in the appropriate category. So if you think of a few...So far only two people have nominated and I’m hoping to get more. Anyway, how’s are little "project" coming?  Bjørn Tore Lædre replies: "Our little project is going slow..... but I think its still active.... we got yet another partner for it the other day.... its on her desk now..... I’m hoping to hear from her this week... *fingers crossed*
I’ve already nominated a few songs to the Offbeat Music Awards. lol!" | |
| 13 Oct 2008 |  Heidi Hecht | LOL yeah I forgot...As soon as I can get a few more nominations, I’ll try to take it to the voting stage...OK I’ll look for a message in my email sometime next week. | |
