What's the dumbest thing a "fan" has asked you?

A few of my mates and I met up at a bar to watch a Sabres game, and I can't remember exactly what my sister's fiance said, but I heard him tell one of my less hockey savvy friends that a team gets "2 points if they win in regulation, 2 if they win in overtime, 1 point if they lose in OT" BUT continued on to say "they get 3 points if they win in a shoot out"! I just starred past him, directly at my sister doing the sibling silent mindfuck "CORRECT YOUR IDIOT BOYFRIEND" while she just rolled her eyes in embarrassment.

Someone once asked me how many goals have to be scored in an NHL game, and I burst out laughing. Not really about my team, but it's the only dumb question regarding Hockey someone ever asked me.

Mike - LOL, my kind of van. J/k.

Mike - The van is still not as bad as this one van 5 minutes from where I live. It's an old black Dodge Ram Van from the 80's, and in red, the words "Death Mobile" are spray painted on it's side. What's worse is that it has a "For Sale" sign on it.

Mike - Haha, yea "Death Mobile." The police station isn't too far away, I don't know why they don't take it away.

So today I was watching the game on the big screen TV in the basement lounge, and this guy was kinda stalking the TV because he wanted to play GTA4 on it, but he was being polite and half-watching the game with me. During one of the commercials he says,

"Wait--I thought it was the Philadelphia Penguins?"

OK, he's not a hockey fan, I correct him and we move on. Then the Flyers tied it at two at the end of the second.

"They're going to a shootout now, right?"

OMG I wanted to smack him. I explained that it was only the end of the 2nd and that shootouts don't happen in the post season, somehow managing to leave him in one piece. I got up and went in the hall because my phone rang, and when I came back the ignorant bastard had hooked up his Play Station! Stupid kid deserves to get kicked by Chris Simon.

The dumbest thing a "fan" has asked me was...hm...let's see. Ah, yes, I remember now. I was at the Leafs game(the one where Daniel Alfredsson got nailed by Mark Bell) and I am waiting to get to my seat, and some guy wearing a Leaf's jersey comes up to me and says "This is the Raptors game, right?" I said "No. This is the Leaf's game. You are even wearing a Leaf's jersey." He said "Oh. I am a die-hard Leafs fans. I love the way they shoot the ball into the net. That Sundin guy doesnt do as many slam dunks as that Chris Bosh guy." I said "That is basketball. This is hockey" He said "Yeah, I love hockey, ya know."

After that, the guy walked away and I never saw him again. Thank God!

I have met some idiots in my life, but that guy takes the cake.

Yeah...that is probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard a "fan" say to me.

I don't think I can top that Kate. One thing that comes to mind was a girl in my high school who was a 'huge' Sabres fan and would go to the party in the plaza for the Sabres games. She would come to school and ask what time the game was on that night. A few times, the Sabres weren't even playing. It made me sad.

*Mike- I'm saving that picture on my computer lmao

For me it is defidently the time when me and my dad got the box seats from his work.... The penguin were having an extremely long shift because MAF and Biron were not get any rebounds.... this slutty girl beind me asked "excuse me but can't I get get thru to my seat... I am a massive fan and want to see te game!"

Irk the $hit out of me.... a "massive fan" should know the first rule of hockey courtessy. Wait until teh whistle blows to get to your seat!!!! We had to explain why then the blonde broad had teh nerve to say, "Well I knew that it is just I was testing you."

Oldest and dumbest excuss in the book!!!

What a band wagoner!

Ok, i know i am not a regular here in the hockey section but i am confident this will make you guys laugh(it is true!)

I am a rangers fan and my friend has season tickets and he goes to EVERY game and he is just overall a HUGE fan.

So it was the messier retiring # game day and he said he was going to the rangers game. I am going to try to reanact the conversation in the best way possible

ME: So you REALLY are going to the game?

HIM: Yeah so what i go to every game!

ME: Do you even know what is happening today?

HIM: Yeah the rangers are playing

ME: And...

HIM: AND....THEY ARE GOING TO WIN!

ME: DO YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE....maybe a retired # happening....maybe mark messier's #being retired

HIM:(here is the dumb question) WHO IS MARK MESSIER ASND WHY IS HE RETIRING IN THE MIDDLE OF A GAME?

I have made fun of that conversation so many times!

Hope this was as funny as i thought it was!

I've been asked by a "hockey fan" ( While I was wearing a Red Wings jersey ) "Where are the Red Wings from again? It's California, right?"

Haha, wow, I prefer to call that a Sketch-Mobile.

Chris Drury scores for the Sabres last year to tie it up with 7 seconds left in game 5 against the Rangers. After the cheers, the crowd starts to yell DRUUUU! This guy next to me says to his wife (who is wearing a DRury jersey) "Why are they booing?"

Who's Brooks Orpik? This is Brooks Orpik: http://bp1.blogger.com/_fw7iF68JR8k/R99eKxJZiUI/AA...

The question I hear a lot from some fair weather fans is: "so how is Forsberg playing?" (even when he was in Philly, lmao).

Oh, I love that pic so much for some reason, I lmao at it all the time! "Free Candy"!! ROFL!!!!! That is one creepy-a$$ van. And his face in the window, it's just so scary-looking, he looks like a serial killer, lmao. I would not want that van to drive up to me as I'm walking down the street late at night...
