The NBA has Playoffs?

Who'd a thunk it!

... and, not to play favorites. If Frattin (former Sioux player) scores on the late breakaway, we're not having any of this discussion.

The Bruins become the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 after trailing by 3 goals in the 3rd period. That's one way to look at it. The other is that the Leafs are the first team in NHL history to completely fuck up a 3-goal third period lead in a game seven. No shit! Gonna be a long summer ...

First weak goal of Series let in by Elliot happens in OT of Game 5 at home. Sheesh, Boo-Boo, talk about bad timing.

Kerry Fraser agrees that the Mika "Ahmadinejad" Zibanejad goal should not have counted. LINK My two cents? It should not have counted; the overhead angle starting at 0:35 does it for me. You make the call: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHisYm9bgR4 And this call comes from Toronto, not th...

Coach and GM both gone?

What do they do with the dual goaltender issue? Do they just release Luongo in July?

Tough group. Scored 16 points last night and dropped down 2 spots!

Canucks D-man Kevin Bieksa accuses Sharks of embellishment ... pauses for laughter to subside ...

Chicago has looked very average in this series, by the way. They don't look like Stanley Cup Finalists to me right now.

Oh, and no hearing from NHL for Bourgue? He elbowed a Senator player in the head, on purpose, and they claim to be trying to eliminate head shots? Pathetic, if true.

My take: White, Georges and Bourque get one game each. Subban gets 2.

Probably no one gets any, though.

Montreal broke down as a team last night because of one guy. And only one guy. One guy bitching out a team-mate in front of the team, one guy that effectively allowed a goal and took a penalty on the play in which he allowed that goal (it was 1-1 before that major fuck up). One guy who took seven (...

Deadspin has a nice recap of the Habs-Sens game. I watched some of it, but missed the massive brawl. Last night, the Habs looked like a cheapshotting mofos. Watched the whole thing live. I have no dog in this fight. Montreal was classless last night and yet in Post game interview their HC called Ot...

Trav, I have my team at 12 points after Day 2, not 6.

Kane=1; Iginla=3.5; Couture=3; Pavelski=4.5. That's my Math, anyway.

I'm in. Trying to improve on my bottom half finish from last season.

15 year old Canadian hockey star, Connor McDavid is playing in the IIHF World U18 Tournament in Russia. He leads all scorers with 8 Goals and 14 Points in just 5 games so far.

Sounds like we need to keep an eye on this kid, eh?

Assuming many of us have the ability to record ourselves, this is what I had in mind. Something a bit more formal; consider this to be drawings on a white board. Four or five guys each record a four or five (or what have you) minute segment. On whatever topic they want; wide open and a blank canvas...

Figured this thread could get use for other reasons after this thread runs it's course. My wife sent me this story after repeatedly telling me to look it up and getting annoyed that I didn't. Turns out, despite being a story on Gawker about a leaked letter a sorority girl sent out to her entire cha...

Don't remember if ZaZ went to St. Cloud, but he has always been a huge fan of their hockey team.

WHL playoffs. Kelowna lost the first three games of round one best-of-seven and won the last four; game seven going to overtime. http://www.whl.ca/standings/playoffs/ls_season/243" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; and http://www.whl.ca/schedule/show/game/64441" onclick=&...

At risk of getting another verbal pummeling, I'll note that I still disagree with you guys. The World Cup includes what, 32 teams? This is four. I agree with the author that one randomly selected team does not belong in this elite group. /ducking My experience is that when a City/Team is awarded th...

My take on most likely to least likely to win it all in Pittsburgh:
1) UMass Lowell
2) St. Cloud St.
3) Quinnipiac
4) Yale

Semifinals:
UMass Lowell vs. Yale
St. Cloud St. vs. Quinnipiac

How has all the fallout from the sanctions the WHL laid upon the Portland Winterhawks affected their season and chances at winning the "W" and appearing in the Memorial Cup this year? Was there any appeal of the sanctions leveled against them? Haven't heard Boo down here since it all came ...

OK, just found you guys again. Is this the final version (for now)? I thought we were told to use a different ID because this was temporary.

Test, test, test.

Are you the "new" Pope?

ok
