  1. That's not a trend so much as it's Nike's aversion to dazzle fabric.
  2. If the Bruins wanted to fulfil their G-d given right to represent the East in the SCF they could have finished off the Panthers when they were up 3-1. Or 3-2. Or when they had the lead with a minute to go in game seven. You're acting indignant because the hockey gods aren't giving you an EC#1 vs WC#1 matchup but... pssst... the hockey gods aren't real. That matchup not happening is on the Bruins not getting it done and no one else.
  3. The Bruins get eliminated The Avs get eliminated
  4. Ah so now we know @AustinFromBoston's Twitter
  5. Some people can't help themselves
  6. I'm a Toronto sports fan. Up until 2019 and the Raptors upsetting the Warriors our last "Big Four" title was the Blue Jays in 1993. Sometimes things just suck. Sometimes they suck for a long ass time. I'm celebrating my team winning their first playoff series in nineteen years. Politics has nothing to do with it. You'll be happier over all once you figure that out.
  7. It was funny because they kept the "LETS GO BOLTS" banners up downtown for like a month after they got swept.
  8. Look man I'm a left leaning guy but that's got zero to do with it. I hate the Bruins and they got eliminated by a team I always assumed was a money laundering operation. It ain't that deep.
  9. I think @JerseyJimmy is wrong to make this political (not everything is ffs) but he is a pretty dedicated Isles fan so you can't blame him for being upset his team lost.
  10. The Raptors have done a good job building a fanbase in the city but anyone who seriously thought basketball surpassed hockey, and anyone surpassed the Leafs, was talking out of their
  11. It's ok to admit you were wrong.
  12. THEY DID IT THEY ING DID IT!! GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!! I was in high school last time this happened. Now I teach it!
  13. My apologies. My personal opinion is that we're kind of at the limit for viable NHL markets regardless of where we're talking about. Arizona is a failure and should be replaced by Quebec City. Hartford's probably always going to be there and could be viable with a new arena, and Florida and Carolina are both on shaky ground, and Houston's a dream some people are insistent upon. But it's not like there's an six new markets the league could expand into tomorrow or anything.
  14. I've never once said it was. I've even mentioned the southern teams that have been successes. If you're going to get on my case for my response to another poster maybe actually read my takes on the subject before you start assuming what my positions are.
  15. My main point of contention is that his take "to ignore the Sunbelt would be shortsighted" is kinda tone deaf. The Sunbelt's been the focus for thirty years.
  16. Here's the problem. The league HAS been looking at the sunbelt, almost exclusively, since the mid 90s. This "if you don't look at the Sunbelt you're short sighted gotta grow the game!" mentality has been the SOP for thirty years now. So you gotta stop acting like a victim when the long term fans of the game say "enough is enough, how about you focus on the people who actually spend money on your product?" I know @spartacat_12 would have you believe that everyone here wants to move Dallas and Tampa to Saskatoon and Yellowknife, but we ing don't. We want to move the Coyotes, a team that's been an abject failure in their current market for thirty years, to Quebec City. A market that has a NHL caliber arena and a loyal fanbase. That's hardly spiting the sunbelt ffs. We had people here- former mods even- who mocked anyone who wanted the Jets back because "Winnipeg lost their team the market failed." Meanwhile Atlanta may get a third crack at it? that. Gary Bettman threatened to move the Jets 2.0 at their introductory press conference and won't even give Quebec City the time of day but sure. The Coyotes can play in a rec centre and Atlanta can get another try. And you wonder why northern hockey fans are fed up?
