What the hell did the Lightning ever do to give you that kind of impression? And no, beating your asses every time we meet in the playoffs isn't a good explanation. You just sound like you're being arbitrary in saying that Bruce Cassidy's comments were "an undercurrent of mutual respect" without a shred of evidence to back that claim. But you've been writing nonsense like this for three years at least now so I'm not surprised you're still writing this kind of nonsense.

After watching Arizona earlier this week, I'm a huge fan of those uniforms. Enormous upgrade over what they've worn the last eight years or whatever. It was also really nice seeing a day game with the roof open there...can't imagine they get the chance to do that very often as the season progresses.

I'll try to post some pictures later, but this France/Germany kit matchup is a legit 10/10. Absolutely beautiful on both sides.

I dunno man, I'm not gonna let a bunch of :censored:s ruin a black/blue/white color scheme that easily.

That's a wrap on 2023! Playoff winner: @waltere with a nearly flawless 12-1 record. 2023 champion: Maybe it's only appropriate an on-field dynasty is crowned in the same season @Dynasty wins the pick 'em league. Moved into first place in Week 9 and never surrendered the top spot from there. Give a silver to 2017 winner and 2020 runner-up @Walter Sobchak (has to be the most decorated player in the nine years I've run this competition) and bronzes each to @logo-maker and @waltere. 2024 will be my 10th season running this. Double digits! It's all come and gone so quickly. Labor Day 2024, per my usual traditional thread opening precedence. See you guys then. Thanks for playing everybody.

Simply the best.

These graphics look very clean and sharp while staying in the spirit of the previous set. Big upgrade!

Impossible for me to pick against the Chiefs, so Chiefs it is.

That was low effort as hell but. , at least they looked like the Islanders. I didn't mind those for that reason. I get it, those RR's were literally "swap the orange and white stripes from the mid-2000s", an untrained eye might not even notice the difference between those and the sweaters that Mark Parrish and Mariusz Czerkawski wore, but maybe that's the point...some of the RR's involved color swaps that simply didn't fit with the ethos of the original designs, they didn't make sense in that arrangement. The Lightning taking the OG storm jersey and giving it a white background was nonsensical because you don't picture storms occurring in bright surroundings. In this case, "less is more" and all that crap...it's obviously not lost on me that Lou Lamoriello has been in the Isles organization throughout these years.

So another year with the off-center wordmarks in the endzone?

I was more puzzled laying up for the field goal going into the half. 4th & 2.5 yards to the endzone...that screams "go for it" in Campbell-ese. "It was just a little too far"...bull . Having said that, there's making a decision and then there's the way the play works out...the first 4th down attempt that backfired - the first Reynolds drop - was a perfectly called and executed play, the receiver ing dropped it. Backbreaker. They never recovered from that.

Lions doing whatever they want to the Niners wasn't on my bingo card.

Sorry for being late guys, just kinda forgot about this the last couple days. @infrared41 still running the table with his postseason picks. @Dynasty is the champion-elect with three games to spare. Kansas City vs. Baltimore Detroit vs. San Francisco

On that field goal, I was fearful for Buffalo as soon as I realized it was a right hash kick with the wind blowing to the right. Terrible combination. Of course the kick itself ended up not even being close.
