Coffee Friday (Part 1)! Can you answer these questions about going to the game?????

I drank WAY too much coffee this morning……I am bouncing off the walls.





The lights, the smells, the sounds, and the action. Nothing really compares to going to a hockey game.





Please answer the following:





1) Do you claim stake of the armrest depending upon the person sitting next to you? Example: If it a big guy you let him have it, or if it a child you hog the entire thing.





2) When you see a guy wearing a jersey of an old traded player, do assume that he is an old fan, or that he can’t afford another jersey?





3) If your arena is having fan appreciation days, and you get to your seat and see that someone stole the free t-shirt that should be sitting on your chair, but the empty seat next to your does have the t-shirt sitting there………Do you take that one? Look around for the jerk that stole your shirt? Ignore it….you didn’t want that shirt anyhow?





4) Do you always bring or wear a hat to the game, to ensure you have one to throw for a hat trick?|||Hi





Good morning and here is my best attempt Haley, sorry if they are not up to standard hectic day.





1.The arm rest is mine. I don't care if its 500lbs guy or 90 year old grandma.





2 The wealth of the person is going to be questioned unless the jersey is in great condition. If it looks like it is only broke out when going to a game then will give a pass, if it looks like its been used for mud wrestling then I'm assuming he is a poor bloke.





3. The seat next to me had a shirt, I didn't notice. In fact I didn't notice any of the empty seats around me had a shirt. The way I am going to look at it is cheap birthday and Christmas presents for friends and family.





4. You know the guy next to me with no free shirt or arm rest, well now he is without a hat too, amazing.





Thank You|||I am a very large man, you may try to claim the armrest, but chances are i've been drinking, so I will have the armrest, and your nachos, thank you.





Old Fan. I have alot of those, I paid good money for them, so I might as well wear them.





Steal the one next to me, let the other guy deal with it, no way your gonna find the guy, and first come first serve.





I don't always wear one, because when my company gives me tickets we have to dress up a little for the Skybox, but when I go on my own, yeah, backwards hat and a jersey everytime!





**Joe- you'd probably be right, I usually wear my Mess jersey to games.


***Your jersey Question just gave me an Idea...You sell a plain team logo jersey, then you sell number and name patches seperate, so you can buy one sweater, and have 3-4 different players. Whatdya think?|||1. All mine.


2. I never thought of it that way. I guess as long as he's not wearing a jersey for the other team who cares.


3. I wouldn't worry about it, because it was probably an xl anyways, and would not fit me.


4. I don't have any hats that I would be willing to throw on the ice. Not even if Chelios scored a hat trick.|||1. My seat came with two armrests. They're both mine.


2. If you can afford seats at this game (Leafs) the cheapest thing is the jersey. I'd assume he's a crasher and I'd inform security and have him removed.


3. You gotta be kidding Leafs have never had a fan appreciation game. "free T shirt" Ha Ha Ha... excuse me I can't believe this question.


4. When was the last time the Leafs had a hat trick? If they happen to get one I look for a donor hat.





BTW if anyone is interested I have never reported any one on Y!A if it's happened look else where.|||1)Im the guy who sits forward on the chair with my elbows on my knees so no arm rest for me unless its intermission but I dont really need it then either but we will have a problem if that guy keeps standing when a play happens near the net.


2)It depends..If I see a guy in a Lindbergh jersey I think its for an old fan..but Brind'amour or Podein jerseys cant afford to update.


3)I take it and tell the person who showed up that I saw a guy take his tshirt earlier and he had a Messier Jersey on.


4)I always wear a hat but have never thrown one on the ice after a hattrick.





**Iceman-I thought you looked familiar.|||IU just found out the school library si closed on Friday during the break, so I dont have to go learning about cat parts. Holla, time for Haley!





1. I'm usually freezing my *** off and huddled into a ball so I dont particularly need the armrest. The cupholders are on the back of the chair in front of you so my pop is fine.





2. I assume a fan who knows better than to spend 300 on a new jersey everytimne someone new shows up. Especially if the name on the old jersey is a very well known guy, or someone who you know he had the jersey custom made for.





3. If nobody was sitting there, I'd totally take it. Course, all fans ever get at Sabres games are puke yellow pom poms lol.





4. I never sit close enough to throw anything lol. Tossing your new era hat from section 313 only garauntees it will hit the fat Toronto fan in front of me, then land in a pile of spilled pepsi. Gross.|||1- Claim at least one of them. A good ol' fart helps out with stubborn "rest hogs".


2- an Old Fan with no money maybe?


3- WHAT??? You get T-Shirts...damn! Take it!!


4- I always wear one to ensure the pig behind me isn't spitting up beer froth on to my chrome dome. Yes I'll throw it...but you can claim/retrieve it after the game.|||well ill let a pretty lady have it but other than that i would take it.





well if its a traded player he probably just doesnt want to dish out the 250 again because the person thinks why spend another 250 when that player will get traded the following year. if its a hall of famer than that fan probably is just in love with him.





i could care less about a free tshirt on fan day.





always wear a hat, and i have been fortunate enough to throw 3 hats on the ice in my 15+ years of going to a couple games a year. this year actually they were giving out penguins tossle caps and malkin netted a hat trick so i got to throw the free one away.|||1) I don't really care for the armrest. I 'll use it periodically if I can but I worry more about not spilling my beer. An armrest battle wouldn't be a good idea.





2) Probably both, their expensive!





3) Never happen at the ACC, but I would leave the t-shirt, it's no great loss and what if it is a child sitting there? I'd feel terrible!





4) I always wear a hat to the game but I would never throw it in for a hat trick. I collect these hats, Hockey %26amp; Football.|||1- To be completely honest, I usually never even set my arms on the arm rests. I am usually sitting at the edge of my seat, not just because of the excitement but just because for some reason thats always where I end up. Or if I am sitting back, I am small and my hands just go in my lap. But hypothetically speaking, the big guy can have it, he probably needs all the room he can get. As for the child, I am going to be selfish and take that, chances are that they can't reach it anyways and if they can, I'm older and wiser, I get it.





2- I usually think that he/she either can't afford a new jersey or just doesn't care what name is on there as long as they are wearing the logo. ??? To be honest I don't really think much more of it then "Oh, that guy doesn't play with us anymore. man I am getting hungry/thirsty...." The mind wanders after that...





3- I'm not gonna lie, I am probably going to take the shirt off the seat next to me. To make matters worse, I'm probably never going to even wear it, I just want it...I've never actually been to a game where they have given me anything but a coupon for Arby's or soemthing stupid like that on my way in...





4- No actually I don't, but maybe I should start.





*Those were fun...|||1) The arm rest is MINE. Actually I usually lean to the side and sit closer to whomever I am at the game with - hubby or kids.


2) I have so far assumed they were old fans. Now I have to look down at them . . . j/k


3) If I like it, I'm taking it off the chair next to mine.


4) No, I would just throw my glasses on the ice . . .|||1) I spend so much time at the bar, watching the game on the tube that I don't care.


2) Depends on what the rest of him and his attire looks like. A mullet and Sergio Valente 70's Jeans and Lotto sneakers.....he is poor. Nike Shox, well groomed...old fan.


BTW Tom, why does it not surprise me that you would run to security? Typical....just like how you have my answers removed when you can't handle the truth. Haley......sorry about the off topic rant. I hate crybaby tattle tales.


3) Yeah sure, I probably take that one...if it was nice and nobody else seemed to be sitting there.


4) I'm a hat person. Last time...Gagne scored a hattrick...I said what the hell...........tried to ball it up and heave it from the luxury suites.....only went about half way. LOL Then....to compound it, they changed the last goal to someone else so it wasn't even a trick. I liked that hat dammit.|||1) First come, first serve.


2) Probably couldn't get another jersey yet. Either that or a bandwagoner.


3) If the shirt can fit me, I take it from the seat next to me and tell the person who would sit there that their shirt was taken by some jerk.


4) I like my hats so I keep them at home for hockey games.|||Depends, I will tend to try to hog the one of the person I am at the game with on the other side. No offense to anyone who is a bit bigger but I learned my lesson last year - don't invite your biggest friend to the game or you end up with 1/2 a seat. The kid next to me is telling me i can share his seat he does not need all of it.





Assume it s an old fan. I have actually seen guys with the New RBK jerseys with the name and number of long retired players so it is not even always an old jersey.





Fan appreciation day. I leave it- don't really want or need the shirt. I like unique things so wouldn't really want one if there are 20,000 more of them out there.





Not always, I have learned not to bring a hat I don't want to lose. That said. when was the last time I was in attendance for a hat trick? I honestly can't remember. In recent years the habs have had enough trouble scoring 3 goals let alone three by the same guy.





Happy Friday|||YAY, Haley! It's FRIDAY!!!!!!





1.) Haha... it depends on how my arm feels and who gets to the seat first! I don't think I would hog it from a child, though.





2.) I just assume he really likes that player... and, like me, finds those jerseys mighty expensive! Shoot!





3.) If there's nobody sitting there, I probably take it, lol... that's terrible of me! But really, I would maybe look around to see where it went. I'm very territorial with my belongings. I even hoard food at the dinner table.





4.) Well, I didn't wear one to the last game I went to, because I don't know what happens to them after you throw them on the ice! And, like I said, I'm funny about my stuff|||1) If it's not claimed when I get there, the armrest is mine.





2) It really could go either way. I tend to think he's an old fan.





3) I'd check the size of the shirt on the seats next to mine (side to side and front to back). If one fits, it's mine. If they don't, well, then that's that.





4) I always have a hat and an extra one, usually one I don't use anymore. So far I haven't been to a game with a hat trick, but if there is one, I can throw the extra hat.|||1. I wait to see what they are going to do. If they are going to put their arm on it then i lean on the other armrest but i really dont need one anyway.





2. I hope he is just an old fan and they usually are





3. I would take the one next to me because now it would be their problem. Someone took mine so i should take someone else's. First come First serve.





4. No i dont own a hat. Even if i did i always sit behind the netting so i couldnt throw it anyway.|||1) yeah, if it's a big guy, i let him have it...if it's a little kid, i take it all


2) old fan


3) i take the shirt on the empty seat


4) no|||I love coffee!!





1. I eat it all myself.. lol


2. Old fan, or a die hard fan of that person


3. Look for the jerk whole stole it and kick their asss, or get security to look for them, sorry I love anything free at hockey games.


4. Well I don't wear baseball caps, only tuques.


When I went to my first Montreal game Michael Ryder scored a hat trick, I felt like an idiot I didn't have a hat to throw for my favorite player. So from now on I have to bring hats. lol|||1)Don't use the arm rest pretty much ever, So if dud wants it that bad he can have it.


2) Both. Because Old jersey's mostly mean old fans and some are really expensive, so I can see not upgrading.


3)Take the shirt, I want my free shirt Darn it !!!!!


4) No I have yet to throw a hat. When I have one nobody gets a hat trick and when I don't have one they do.|||1) I take half of it... normally the back half.


2) Any fan thats wearing a Wings jersey is a Wings fan.


3) I look for the jerk.


4) Nope.|||1. At least one of them is mine, no matter who is next to me.





2. Both, you know what happens when you assume stuff..





3. A shirt is a shirt......





4. Don't even think about throwing my hat, I need it to cover my bald spot!|||1. i never really use the armrest when someone is next to me cause i usually am sitting on the edge of the seat but during intermission i put my arms on the rest


2. i assume he is an old fan because they obviously are they have an old jersey it doesn't matter if they have an old jersey they are still fan of my fav team so i wouldn't care


3. well i would hope that the seat that has the shirt on it is the same seat that the person i went with had so they could give it to me but if it wasn't i don't think i would take the shirt cause i would feel bad. if no one sat there and the game ended i would take it


4. i were a hat but it has autographs on it so i don't know if i would throw it on the ice for a hat trick. maybe i will start bringing an extra hat|||1.) I claim both of them. That includes movie theaters, et cetera





2.) He's an old fan or just hates the new jerseys





3.) I'd take the one on the seat below me. The person would be less suspicious of me





4.) I always wear a hat, but I've never thrown it on the ice when a player gets a hat trick|||1) I take it if i get there first. Too bad to whoever sits next to me, you should have been at your seat earlier.





2) He cant afford another jersey. I cant stand seeing people wear Fedorov jerseys at Joe Louis Arena. Get a new jersey already, everyone hates the guy!





3) Take the shirt from the seat next to me. I want a shirt damnit!





4) Always wear a hat, although i didnt throw it when McCarty had his hat trick against the Avs. Instead, i caught other peoples hats that were coming down and threw them down LOL.|||1. Heck yeah! I dominate the armrest like no other!





2. I assume he's an old fan. The fact that he's wearing the home team's (or road team) jersey is a testament to his fandom.





3. I take the other shirt. When the seat holder comes to claim said space, I blame the theft on the guy who took my shirt!





4. I never throw any of my hats on the ice for hat tricks. Even when I was a kid and saw either Mario Lemieux or Jaromir Jagr score hat tricks (which was almost a regular occurence when I was growing up), I kept my hat on. Hats are expensive these days (especially the fugly MLB batting practice hats...c'mon now, hats for batting practice?)...|||1 Yes, I'm scared the fat guy will eat me


2 He must be a fan, if it is a retired player or a recently traded player, but if they have a Mogilny Toronto jersey thet can't afford it


3 Look around, if I can't find it then take it and say, "Some ***** stole your T-Shirt, I chased him down but he got away"


4 I wear my lucky Toronto hat|||1) I would let the kid have it, because he'd get his grubby hands all over it, and if it's some big guy, I'd let him have it too. I never use the arm rest anyway.





2) It depends...Mostly I assume it's an old fan when it's the Niedermayer or Arnott jerseys...And then you're just a loser if it's a Gomez or Holik jersey (GRR!)





3) It would be too hard to find the jerk that stole my shirt, and I would swipe the one next to me if it's a nice shirt. If it's some ugly XXL one-size-fits-all shirt, then I'm just gonna leave it there.





4) Come on Homes, I'm a Devils fan! If three individual players can't even get a goal a piece for a total of three, what makes you think one player can single-handedly get three goals!??!?!?! :-P I never bring a hat, the Devils never score! GRR.





ADD: hehe, devils scored 4 goals today :-P|||1) I armwrestle the guy/gal for it!





2) Seriously, I don't think about it at all





3) I take the one in the seat next to mine.......no questions asked





6) I usually wear one of my black fedoras..................none has ever entered the rink
