DEAD!

They should have gone with Lugbolts

Well, it's more like two billion dollars. But still a colossal failure nonetheless.

One thing I found it interesting while watching the Lightning-Red Wings game. Since the Pistons moved into Little Ceasars Arena that it also meant a banner for former owner Bill Davidson is hung in the rafters. He was also the owner of the Lightning. I can't think of another arena that has something that honours two former NHL owners at the same time.

Move the Rays to St. Louis, then we'll see if St Louis really has the best fans in baseball..

Miramichi!

Does that mean they're in the level as their reserve team?

I think this change is in honour of David Bowie ...

Yeah, the entire roster, including his son!

Interesting you mentioned that because look on the INSIDE portion of the ring. http://www.nba.com/warriors/gallery/warriors-championship-rings

I'm not sure how long it will be there, which is the other issue with this. The L.A. teams will do well with their affiliates, but Calgary basically shouldn't be allowed to have an AHL team, Edmonton hasn't torched all that many markets, but has had a run that consisted of 1 year in Edmonton itself (strike year arena date filler-franchise goes dormant after that) 1 year timeshare with Montreal in Hamilton, Montreal calling the shots 1 year PROSPECTS SCATTERED TO THE WINDS 3 years in Springfield-uninspiring results which include not making the playoffs at all and keeping the market on a slow slow slow burn to destruction 5 years of sitting back and watching the slow painful death of what was once one of the best markets in minor league hockey (Yes, the Thunder play a major role here, but the Barons never took off.) Meanwhile San Jose doesn't torch markets, but has an organizational disdain for running an effective minor league organization and developing young talent except as trade bait for some aging NHL player that stands as an ironic counterpoint to the fact that they were the team that complained the most about the lack of California teams. So yeah, 3 of the 5 teams are on shaky foundations. This experiment could end very badly. oh yeah ... and that one year in Toronto as well ...

Alright, who stabbed the horse?

I just had a similar thought... Only replace the NHL with I and owners with wife... And ladies, quadival is stunningly, like the Coyotes, still available. ... and I don't take $25 million a year from the city.

But what does that have do do with the city of Glendale passing their budget on June 12 to allow another set of millions to be paid to the NHL? ... lessons on how to build a parking lot...

Arizona is weird yeah... I can't believe the millions of dollars the librarians are making...

If there's good one thing about the name "Conference USA" is at least it's not regional specific. (Other than the USA part )

Even though he played more and had the best years as a Ram, for some reason I still identify Marshall Faulk as a Colt.

They really need to start WWE'ing it. Why they haven't just tarped off the upper deck is beyond me. ... and use one side of the arena with a big screen and have the players come in with their own music and have the announcer call it a cage match.

I felt inspired... That looks like more like Netanyahu than McCain...

I'll admit, I was in Phoenix this past weekend. (I was there to visit a family friend and I didn't go anywhere near Glendale) I checked the distance from downtown to Glendale, and it seems like it's no different than my drive to work, but because of it's western location and rush hour traffic, I can now see why someone from Scottsdale or Mesa would hesitate to drive there.

Yeah, I prefer the old Caps set. I love that swooping eagle and the blue jersey. I absolutely concur with the powder blues. I much prefer the Chargers old uniform set. I think it conveys the Charger motif much better. Lightning bolts are supposed to be white.

Death to the Ball-In-Glove logo

I miss that Chargers uniform ....

I haven't paid much attention myself. I only found out Scott Gomez was a Canadien last month. I guess that is what happens when you go on vacation when NHL free agency comes along
