Wouldn't the Wrestlemania of hockey be the Stanley Cup? And why would an American team (Ducks) be hosting Canada's Wrestlemania? Does OP know the meanings for any of the words they used?
The is the Stanley Cup championship. Also the meaning is probably that for Canadians, this contest/spectacle is the equivalent of Westlemania. Probably also in the sense of your favorite never makes it far, and you end up having to pick a secondary character that'd you rather win, probably just because the alternative is some douchbag out of Florida.
There is so many small things to do on the ice after resurfacing that cannot be avoided / done by any other way. Add that many benches are only accessible from the ice itself = people running around.
Meanwhile Americans trot out racist murderers like WWE superstars at pedophile conventions and cheer him on. Eagerly anticipating witnessing the downfall of the entire USA
Lol my wife says "hockey" when asked about sports as a point of form, but she's watched one game in 18 years and only because I bought tickets and took her. Not even on TV.
You can buy a mini one for around $2,600. It is called the “LaserCube.
I’ve tried it and it is impressive. We projected an animated dick-butt, 60-feet tall on the side of a canyon, mountain and government building with it. lol
Walt Disney sold the team a while ago. The team changed their logo from the duck hockey mask to a boring logo, but recently went back to a modernized version of the original logo.
I wouldn’t say the guys aren’t athletic. They do a lot of really difficult stuff, but they aren’t literally trying to kill each other. The performance aspect of it turns me off.
The Honda Center is the home of the Anaheim Ducks. Found this….The Honda Center is currently undergoing renovations, which include the integration of advanced LED technology. A new interactive LED floor system is being introduced, enhancing the visual experience for events and performances.
Sorry you're getting reamed for asking a question and not understanding sport ball stuff. Some people don't get that not everyone is immersed in competitive culture to know what is considered polite or impolite ribbing of the opponents.
Much appreciated. Jock culture isnt exactly super polite, and I've certainly said worse to my friends over nerd shit. This did not at all seem beyond the pale.
There's two types of Sportsball people. "May the best team win." You support your team, but have a sense of sportsmanship. "I hope your team loses." Americans. If you're that kind of asshole you're American by default just for being a piece of shit.
*My* mindset on sports is that they're dumb, but other people are welcome to enjoy them if they like. My understanding as an entirely outside observer is that the rivalry is part of the enjoyment of the activity.

Wrestlemania has been held in Canada. Twice.

I wanna know what those people were doing on the ice that was so damned important

The show doubles as cataract surgery if you stand in just the right spot.

Hopefully keeping anyone else off the ice

You mean shitty and full of ads this year? Take that, Wrestlemania! You got slammed!
MikeRInternetTraveler
It wouldn’t really be like Wrestlemania unless they leave some of the players on the bench, and let Youtube celebrities actually play in the game.
thisisnotfineffs
Less than half the runtime was wrestling......20% of it was ads...da fuq

That’s literally in Anaheim

Wrestlemania for Canada is a moose dressed like Bret Hart smothering his poutine with syrup while Rush plays a live show ok an ice rink.

only liked cuz you mention Brett Hart. Badass.

As the only Canadian on earth who doesn't actually watch hockey that's pretty cool looking

Lucky. Too many sportsball teams are as obnoxious as an oligarch

It also means we never get to see our best players in their prime since they all fuck off to the NHL or KHL.

How’s this Canadian? Ifs the ducks and the golden knights. American barn either way, I’m made of questions
socialinjustice411
there's almost 10 canadian players on the roster for the ducks. 15 on VGK....soooooo
fstngutz
Sure. No one said any thing about canadiens dominating the league. Still American location and American barns
CrossEyedPigeonToed
This barn thing is a new term for me. Is it another word for rink or arena or something in Canadia?
fstngutz
Yeah lol Canadians call em barns

How long before they pause the game to show everybody an add projected on the ice, you think?

Yeah, name 1 wrestler from Canada

Brett Hart, Jim Neidhart, Roddy Piper, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Chris Jericho, Edge, Rocky Johnson.

I'm just being pedantic that Canada has plenty of original flavor WrestleMania
FeloniousMonk13
Lol naw man this an actual athletic sporting event. Wrestlemania is scripted theatrical nonsense for kids and also adult idiots.
thisisnotfineffs
I think Thelonious would be disappointed in your snobbery
Wuz314159
So is ballet.
HandsomePenguin
Being so condescending isnt an admirable trait you know. If you think wrestling is any less athletic than hockey then you are an idiot also.
mrbadxampl
yet another "WrEstLiNG iS FaKE aNd YOu'Re STuPid" garbage opinion, gotta love it...
HandsomePenguin
YES most of it is scripted to be deliberately attention grabbing and dramatic. But its still a full on athletic effort.
FeloniousMonk13
Yknow what you're right. I usually try to be positive on here but today I just started hating on wrestling. Those dudes are tough af, no lie.
thisisnotfineffs
based about face, props

You found out, and this is a good way to show people that you can change your opinion or words and you don't need to defend anything.
Be positive everyone, this is a hell of an example ☺️

The mighty ducks are playing?!

This is what surprised me 😮
TheFoodBaby
Walt Disney sold the team a while ago. The team changed their logo from the duck hockey mask to a boring logo, but recently went back to a modernized version of the original logo.
GeorgeCostabaplaps
They are no longer the "Mighty Ducks" since Disney sold their shares in like 2004(?), when they became the Anaheim Ducks
JaceCameron
Whats wrestlemania?
GenXHippie
Grown men in tights pretending to beat each other to death.

So... ufc?

Basically. It was the 90s version of a giant “wrestling” event.

Sounds lame. They should try a real sport. Like fishing. Or golf.

I wouldn’t say the guys aren’t athletic. They do a lot of really difficult stuff, but they aren’t literally trying to kill each other. The performance aspect of it turns me off.

because they root for their own sports teams? I'm not a sportsball guy, but that hardly seems like a crime

NHL is only Canada and the US participating is my understanding, so any "f you guys" is "yay us" by default.
