Uh...then they aren't annoying I suppose? I dunno. I was just thinking back to the Hot Dog Game where this five(ish) year old was screaming at the top of his lungs "LET'S GO DEVIIIIIIIIIIIIILS!!!" over and over again...he sounded like a car alarm or something. Gave me quite the headache.

If you were in 229 or 230, I know what kid you were talkin about. I never wanted to punch a kid so much in my life.

I'm use to it my daughters car seat is right behind me when I drive.

Well then you have an edge. I have no children, duh!

haha I'm pretty sure that's where I was, I don't have the ticket anymore and I can't remember for sure...but it sounds right!

I'm just going to chalk all this up as everyone in the world is annoying.

That's pretty close to my motto I've been using for most of my life now.

"People Suck"

Descriptive, short, simple, true.

I forgot to mention that I also hate when little kids (likely the ones who are screaming bloody murder, no less) keep kicking the back of my seat as hard as they possibly can. Generally at first I'll shoot a nasty look at their parents...which never works, because the parents are idiots. So, when it doesn't stop, I say to idiot parent "can you please tell your child to stop kicking my chair?"

They stop, but it usually only lasts about five minutes or so.

Last game I went to, I was just not having any of it at all. The kid was kicking my chair. I shot nasty look. I asked the parent (kindly) to have their kid stop kicking my seat. Kid still kicked. I had enough. I turned around and yelled at the kid to stop kicking my chair. The parent had the balls to yell at ME! You know what? CONTROL YOUR GOD DAMN KID THEN, a$$holE, AND I WON'T HAVE TO YELL AT THEM!

I'm so not having kids anytime soon...

You stated the issue right here. More often than not it's the PARENTS who are the problem. I've seen and been around kids who were delightful and well-behaved because their parents actually discipline them and teach them how to behave properly and how to be considerate of others. That parent who yelled at you is the same kind who will yell at coaches if his or her kid gets cut from the team, and will lash out at the teacher that dares to fail his or her bundle of joy. The entitled parents think their entitled chidren should be able to do whatever they want and get whatever they want, and to hell with everyone who's inconvenienced and aggravated as a result.

Try this going on behind you.
Woman (I think visiting from Florida- Tampa Bay was playing the Devils last year at CAA) Talking loudly on cell phone to probably a child back home.

HI HONEY! I'M AT THE DEVILS GAME IN NEW JERSEY, YOU KNOW HOCKEY! PUT THE GAME ON THE TV! TRY CHANNEL 38(She kept repeating different channels then:) TRY ESPN. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE GAME ISN'T ON ESPN. (5 minutes of this harangue. Back to guessing channels. Finally the game is found.) 10 minutes of this: CAN YOU SEE ME? HOW ABOUT NOW? THE PLAY'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. YOU DON'T SEE ME?....I'M WAVING AT THE CAMERA. (She was sitting in row 8 of the upper deck.) Once that annoying phone conversation ended she proceded to talk about everything other than hockey (LOUDLY) to her seatmate the rest of the game.

ROCK!

Annoying phone conversations are, well, annoying, too.

CR1976 - You hit the nail right on the head. I had a similar conversation with my mother the other day. My cousin had brought all 9000 of her kids over to visit our grandmother (their great-grandmother), they are the biggest brats in the world. They tear the house apart, break things, beat up on each other, even attacked an animal...what did my cousin do? Absolutely nothing. Better yet, after tearing the house apart, they just left it like that -- didn't even put anything back where it was. I came home and saw the war zone, I was livid. If I had done any of that as a kid, my mother would have set me straight real quick. Granted, I'd never hit a cat, but if I made a big mess at someone else's house (which I never would have done, either), my mother would have made me clean it up.

Parents need to actually parent their kids. There are some wonderful kids out there, but those lil stinkers need to be taught some lessons reeeeaaal quick.

Well, do you remember a REALLY loud guy in a Winnipeg jersey constantly yelling "Jets Hockey Lives On" and other things to that effect from the last row?

Cause that guy was next to me. (I knew I shoulda gone to the game alone...)

I was the guy in the 1992 Brodeur St. Hyacinthe Laser jersey. (Ebay is awesome)

Reading this made me so mad, I just swung around in my chair and punched the air behind me. Makes me wonder if people actually realize that they are being annoying, or just don't care.

Maybe you should spend less time going to hockey games and a little more time on your English homework.

So anyone who chooses to describe you and your annoying lil' clan as "tennyboppers" must be old? Gotta love teenage logic.

Here's what you and your fellow puckbunnies fail to understand: there's a difference between being loud, and being shrill and shrieking for the sake of shrieking.

as long as we're there we'll scream as loud and shrill as we would like and you can't do anything about it. well except talk about us on a blog, which won't help you any.

and you probably are old. what are you pushing forty or something?

[lovesheenax]

i'm serious tho, i'd like to kno what that means. it's not my fault i don't kno what a "puck bunny" is.
which i think is a ridiculous name, btw.

[Kulags]

It's a pretty common term actually. Don't worry, it just means a young female hockey fan. Not derogatory in the slightest. Don't feel intimidated or unwelcome because of anyone here. Just tone it down a bit is all...
