That’s unfair to the Warriors. All Star teams don’t play defense...

Special elections still unfortunately count...

THAT WAS ONE UNCORROBORATED CLAIM! I CAN’T POSSIBLY BELIEVE ANYONE IN MY LIBERAL CITY* WOULD EVER DO ANYTHING THAT COULD POSSIBLY BE CONSTRUED AS RACIST! THERE WASN’T EVEN A SINGLE CELL PHONE VIDEO!

Plenty of good to great players have been exactly the same way, including Crosby. Bobby Clarke, Esposito, Marchand, doughty, kieth, the new ktachuk, etc. are or were all dirtier players, but damn are they fun to watch when they toe the line and subban crosses that line much less often.

Except Pence might actually get terrible things done. Trump may be the end of the GOP as we know it and as long as things don’t get passed, keeping him in power until the midterm elections is probably a good thing.

Major market viewers are already watching...

There was no NHL season in 04-05... even if his team released him he wouldn’t have gone anywhere. Also it doesn’t make any sense to orchestrate things for major markets, it makes sense to help struggling markets with a high potential.

All in a row (would’ve been 5 years had there been no lockout since it’s not like they paused the draft for a year). In those four straight seasons, they finished with less points than anyone outside the avalanche had this season. The decade was meant to refer to the Pens and Hawks.

Calling off that goal without conclusive video evidence was questionable, but whatever it happens. The lack of the interference call on Crosby on a 5 on 3 was unbelievable. Crosby might get hit a lot, but when it is outside the rules it gets called. When he takes it over the line, he is rarely penalized and never…

Because of the perception of special treatment that the pens and hawks get from the NHL, where they were rewarded with multiple superstars after tanking for over a decade. For the record, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some shaky collusion that the league and NBC believe two powerhouse teams could bring more…

Svend on oppo is in the UK and does this sort of thing I think.

True, but their overally performance in the playoffs had much more to do with Karlsson and Bobby Ryan

Oops forgot about that, but still 4 more years of possible playoffs for Lebron. And don’t get me wrong, Lebron may be better than MJ, but this stat is not the one that proves it.

Except for, you know, the two games where he shit the bed.

That and MJ actually played in college and then sat out a year in his prime, so by the end of his career, Lebron will have been spotted 5 seasons.

I’d hazard a guess that it has something to do with the fact that small market owners still make a fuck ton more than their best players, then have additional revenue streams in the form of tv deals, free stadiums, tax breaks, and league wide profit sharing. And their billionaire owners then have the audacity to say…

I’m okay with hitting a guy like this, but the punishment for a clearly intentional plunking is too lite IMO. I mean he had to throw at him twice! He should be tossed automatically for shit like that (no suspension though, reserve that for assholes that throw at the head). A punishment of a warning and 1 base is…

I don’t think Crawford or Fleury has ever had an amazing playoffs in the same way Hasek/Osgood, Tim Thomas, Quick, etc. did. Granted those teams have the luxury of having the 2 best forwards on the ice playing for their team almost all the time.

They also have the best player in the league playing the most minutes of anyone through the playoffs. Karlsson is far and away the star of these playoffs in spite of how boring his team is. If the NHL had a red zone channel that just flipped to the Sens everytime Karlsson was on the ice at even strength or better, I…

Pikes peak and mt. Washington are probably the most dangerous “road races” in the states but I have a feeling that the road width is a big factor in making the European rallies more challenging on average
