A tie in a hockey game was all but phased out after the last lockout/strike/CBA re-negotiation/ticket price hike, and it's for the best. In the old days, ties were referred to as "kissing your sister" which is likely some bizarro custom from North of the Border. Ties, in the here and now are generally a gift for dads on father's day (coming Sunday, thank me for the heads up and go buy a tie).
With World Cup fever at a nauseating level, the US of A engaged in a tie with former big sister, England, 1-1. The riveting excitement of watching 22 men drone around a massive patch of grass for 90 minutes while scoring two times in the process is enough to make me want to, well, kiss my sister. Now it's all making sense.
