You’re anecdotal evidence does not justify any form of victim blaming or skepticism. If I knew the details of your uncles case then i would be more informed, but I don’t so until it was overturned I would assume he’s guilty.

I’m not saying that Tampa isn’t really good or even that any of those players aren’t all good to great. I’m saying that they didn’t look as dominant as I would expect them to with Boston playing so poorly. I would certainly put my bet on Tampa in the next round but I see it going at least 6 games and wouldn’t be…

Tampa didn’t look that good against Boston, the bruins were just the worst combination of old/slow guys (Chara, Mcquaid, Backes, Gionta), hurt skilled guys (Carlo, Krug, and probably a handful of others playing through injury), and inexperienced young talent (McAvoy, Grzelcyk, Donato, Debrusk, Acciari).

As stated in the article, he was not required to register at college as that is not legally a permanent address. That this came out at all was the result of a misinterpretation on behalf of the state.

Sounds like you just don’t like today’s teams, but if Kessel and Hagelin on the 3rd line don’t count as depth you’re insane. If you can’t see that the best teams now would destroy every single historically “great” team you’re high off your ass.

Hindsight is 20/20 on what great rosters look like. This Winnipeg team has at least 2 superstar forwards, a superstar defenseman, and potentially a superstar goaltender. Nashville is in the same boat and so is Tampa, with Pitt being not far behind.

It’s not those teams that were the shitshow, it was everybody else.. The owners didn’t want more parity, they wanted more money. Parity will always exist among the teams willing to pay for good players. The NHL picking bad ownership groups for bad markets and a weak CAD have resulted in struggling franchises.

The league did away with great teams? When was this? Nobody wants the 80s back where the Isles and Oilers account for 8 out of 10 cups. The NHL is expanding because the talent pool is expanding. Every single NHL team would likely beat any international squad with the exception of the usual medal winners (Russia, US,…

Because they are entertaining as hell. Mediocre and boring teams can occasionally be carried by legit superstars (like Ottawa with Karlsson or some of the late Detroit teams with Lidstrom and some would argue Pitt this year). No one would put James Neal or Fleury in that same category. Toronto is middle of the pack…

If it happens I think we’d see a lot of Morris guarding Lebron, or Smart with help from Baynes inside. Horford could probably take Love and then you use Rozier/Brown/Tatum to pick up the rest of the pieces and force them to make shots.

I’d say it will only be entertaining if Lebron is the only player to show up for cleveland. If Love is playing well and Korver is hitting shots though, I don’t think the Celtics have a chance to go more than 5.

I think the boom and bust could be more attributed to the over payment of such QBs once they are off their rookie deal. They tend to be good and effective when they’re young and underpaid, I’d assume because the money is being spent on quality lineman that can’t be afforded once the team needs to pay the QB (Russell…

So the insurance company is definitely in the wrong for amending the policy retroactively, that’s some shady shit, but it is unclear to me whether his retirement from football was voluntary or doctor ordered/recommended.

I think the Warriors need to look at reloading to compete with the young teams going beyond next season. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a Klay Thompson trade (while he still has value before FA) and possibly all of their centers if they want to keep Curry, Durant, and Green together then get younger and cheaper around…

Yeah but at least he had LA for the playoffs. If you had to pick at the beginning of a season between a playoff team with all of LA, Parker, Ginobli, and Rudy Gay or one with Horoford, Brown in his 2nd year, Marcus Smart, one of the Morris brothers, and a rookie who might finish 4th in ROY voting (behind Mitchell,…

Wouldn’t pro athletes in the major 5 sports want their new records recognized if games/seasons were lengthened or shortened?

You can buy and download digital media, that then can be downloaded again and again by you. Tapes get eaten and discs get scratched, vinyl is less susceptible to this sort of thing and a good pressing is often higher quality than almost all digital copies. Also album art has some value too, that is never consistently…

+1 icy hot patch

High school education might be a stretch. I’m pretty sure everyone knew he would be playing pro hockey by the time he was 14/15.

Yeah I think it is safe to assume many Canadian NHL players did not vote for Trudeau, though they are probably evenly split between Quebec secessionists, alt-right fuck nuts, and reasonable people that just don’t care enough to vote.
