Why does the hockey section SEEM more uptight then others?

I’ve seen it many times. People have told jokes or goof off. The majority of people freak out or say they’re confused.

I have not seen this in other sections. It just seems people are more uptight in the hockey section.

And no I’m not talking about everyone, just the majority.

I thought about asking this question in the hockey section, but I know I won’t get any decent answers.
Also note that I am a hardcore hockey fan, so I’m not making fun of hockey fans.

My husband and I simply thought these would be “our people” and most of them seem uptight, ignorant, or whiney.

Please give your input.
To other answerers please disregard the first answer, I asked this question outside of the hockey section to avoid answers from people who don’t know what they’re talking about.
I’m looking for actual intelligent answers,

Bags, Bags and More Bags – Which Golf Bag to Buy?

Golf bags are essential for carrying around all the things you need as you play golf. These would be your golf clubs, golf balls, tees, markers, towels and umbrellas.

Although they do not directly affect the result of your game, they could influence your attitude as you play, as golf bags offer you a lot of comfort and convenience as you go through the course.

Here are some types of golf bags.

1. Staff bags

Staff bags would be the largest kind of golf bags. A good staff bag would be made of leather or other durable and high quality materials and are usually a bit more expensive. They are able to contain all of your golf clubs, and still have a lot of pockets to hold other things and equipment that you wish to bring along as you go through the course.

Most professional golfers prefer to use the staff bag as they are able to hold the most equipment. They need not worry about lugging it around since they usually have their caddy to help them out with that.

2. Cart Bags

These bags are relatively smaller than staff bags but are bulkier and harder to carry around. Cart bags are designed to be transported in golf carts but have less pockets and less room for storage.

3. Carry Bags

These are the smallest of the golf bags, which are usually made from nylon, plastic or other light materials. They are constructed to contain the essentials like golf clubs, a couple of balls and small golf accessories. They are perfect for those golfers who prefer to carry their own bags.

When choosing the most suitable golf bag for you, you would need to consider the features that you need and your budget. It is not necessary to buy the most expensive bag available, as they do not directly affect the way you play, unlike your clubs, balls and golf shoes. You should carefully assess if the bag you are planning to buy has all the features that will suit your needs, while still being reasonably priced.

Mcdonald’s Hockey Collectibles: Building More Interest in Hockey Memorabilia

Hockey trading cards may seem to wane in popularity, but if McDonald’s has its way, it won’t be for the next 100 years. They may probably have experienced spikes in demand thanks to McDonald’s hockey collectibles. These hockey cards that come from the house of Ronald McDonald are actually worth something, considering that it’s supplied only in Canada and that many kids actually don’t think much of them, leaving much of the loot and short supply to serious collectors. Many McDonald’s hockey cards are not even traded – they’re thrown away or left to rot someplace forgotten, like the attic or an old shoebox.

That is not to say that interest has never waned. Many collectors lost their love for hockey cards during the mid-90s when the market was filled to the brim. However, with the resurgence of interest in hockey and the continuing popularity of hockey collectibles including those from McDonald’s, it’s a good idea to start or re-start your collection now.

Getting McDonald’s hockey collectibles

The most popular hockey collectibles from McDonald’s continue to be NHL trading cards, the latest of which is from the Upper Deck Ice Heroes Collection. The new line features 50 cards, with special inserts that contain 51-card sets. Each pack costs $0.99 with purchase of selected McDonald’s products.

The number of cards contained in the card sets varies depending on the description. Cards in the Hardware Heroes set features winners of NHL awards in 6 die-cut cards to a pack. The Rookie Review and Hot Gloves sets have 20 cards in a pack while the Captains Checklist set contains cards featuring captains from the 6 Canadian NHL teams.

Another thing that adds to the excitement of getting the cards is that there are more than 4,000 official winning cards that include some important hockey memorabilia. The cards are instant-winning and need only to be verified to be redeemed. McDonald’s usually releases the new sets at the end of each year for the latest season.

There are also McDonald’s Canada hockey pucks that are issued by Canadian restaurants as part of their promotion to honor their hockey teams. These signature official pucks cost about $9.95 each.
