Prelude - If you plan on talking to a Senators fan, don't go looking for answers about this season and why it happened. It will take a while to unravel this mystery. Instead, focus on the fun stuff. There are two choices today: If it's broke, does it need fixing? and whose sexier, someone who plays team sports or individual sports? Let's see what to say in each case.
Sport - Hockey
Event - Post playoff analysis of Senators begins. Patios open in Ottawa.
Point to say - "Do you think Ottawa will trade Emery?"
Follow up point - "Did you hear about the rumour that Vancouver would trade Luongo for Spezza?. "
Get out of the conversation - "Can't wait for the patios to open. How about you?"
Backgrounder
Talking about trades is just perfect for a summer day on a patio with your sports fan. The whole point is, no one can be wrong because the whole thing is speculative. The essence of the discussion centres on the point of "if you don't win then something, then there is a problem." Note to Leaf Fans, this excludes you are really, the owners don't care to fix that team because, heh, why bother, money still pours into that franchise.
What about Ottawa? From going from the Stanley Cup finals, and their subsequent hot start, to being swept, it would appear pieces are missing, or something is broken. The conversation in the media right now is about Spezza having a no trade clause. That is a contract that does not allow a player to be traded without his consent. It has been written that Spezza has such a stipulation and that it starts this summer. If so, any trade would have be done immediately after the Stanley Cup final.
FUN STUFF
A paper published in the January edition of Evolutionary Psychology found that heterosexual women prefer sexual partners who play team sports to those who participate in solitary activities or refrain from athletic endeavours altogether.
The study found that women were more likely to want to get involved with men who play a team sport than with individual team players or non-athletes. Men who were described as being highly skilled at their team sport were deemed the most attractive.
Point to say - (definately if you with your friends on a patio) "Whom do you think is sexier, hockey players or golfers?"
