  1. Same. It feels a little like the '04 Red Sox sans the 86-year drought.
  2. You speak this, but it ain't over until it's over in the Heat-Celtics series. The Celtics have a long road ahead of them, but these past two games have proved we may see AT LEAST a Game 7.
  3. The Nuggets' blue and red are still too dark. They just need to match the state flag like the mid to late '70s. And, while we're at just have the Avs adopt the old Rockies colors and logos.
  4. The schedule is still not updated on LockerVision. But, it looks like we might not even need a schedule for Games 5-7 for either Conference. Proof the NBA is rigged?
  5. Huh. I completely missed that part about the Power District project.
  6. Which is why I think what will happen is the Coyotes will be bought by the league (again), they'll play at Mullet Arena for a couple more years with no rush to move while the NHL will put the team on the market with a price tag upwards to an expansion fee. That would allow cities (outside of Houston, KC, Quebec City, Portland, etc) to pitch the league for the team that aren't move-in ready (like SLC, San Diego, Austin, etc.) and drive up the sale price.
  7. Honestly, the NHL shouldn't have expanded to 32 until the Arizona situation was solved. It would have been much easier to sell/move the Coyotes to Vegas or Seattle and then expand. Now if the Coyotes leave for Quebec, Houston, SLC, etc., etc. the situation is more hasty than if the NHL opened up an expansion bid process. MLB is smart in waiting to expand until Tampa and Oakland are figured out.
  8. Yeah, the Delta Center is not a long term solution. And, the Maverik Center location works for minor league hockey even with a renovation. However the west side of the valley is growing rapidly that it COULD work, but I am of the belief that if hockey is going to work long term here in SLC it will have to be owned by Ryan Smith, or whoever owns the Jazz, with a shared arena.
  9. Yeah, I don't get that impression either. In fact, I get a great impression that they're doing a black version of the script based off the tease. Odds are it'll be on the Statement jerseys and we probably won't see a change (or much of one) on the Icon and Association jerseys. However, I could see them use the script at some point for their City Edition jerseys with a light blue or whatever, but the Kings are entrenched into being a purple and black team now.
  10. I feel like one of the reasons why Ryan Smith would be interested in an expansion team is because of the arena situation. It'd give him more time to determine an arena situation and would probably be dependent on getting the Olympics again. There'd have to be a new arena and that could give him the resources for a place for a team along with the Jazz (if needed). Also, I've HEARD that the Maverik Center is expandable if needed, but I haven't seen or read anything that would suggest that.
  11. That's the setup from the Olympics, not that the hockey setup is any better, but I think it'd work temporarily better than Phoenix or Brooklyn.
  12. Yeah, the Delta Center isn't suited well for hockey. But, I think the only way it happens is if Ryan Smith buys them and eventually builds a new arena for both teams. I feel like the teams would cannibalize each other with two separate owners and arenas. I want a hockey team here in SLC, but it feels like a longer shot than MLB.
  13. I don't think Houston is necessarily a shoe-in either. I think it depends on what Meruelo does now. If he sells the team -- is it just to the highest bidder? I feel like Bettman will have his hands over it all so who knows?
  14. I'm digging the wordmark. I wonder if this will be on all jerseys? Just a black one? Also ... they better have NUTNs!
  15. Okay, the league only has the first four games of each series (weird), the Lakers and Nuggets definitely didn't get the memo from the Heat and Celtics. Eastern Conference Finals G1 - MIA (Red) @ BOS (White) G2 - MIA (Red) @ BOS (White) G3 - BOS (Black) @ MIA (White) G4 - BOS (Green) @ MIA (White) G5 - G6 G7 Western Conference Finals G1 - LAL (Gold) @ DEN (Blue - Statement) G2 - LAL (Gold) @ DEN (Navy Blue) G3 - DEN (Blue - Statement) @ LAL (White) G4 - DEN (White - City) @ LAL (Gold) G5 G6 G7
  16. Per Locker Vision ... (Just waiting for the rest of the schedule including the Lakers-Nuggets series.) Eastern Conference Finals G1 - MIA (Red) @ BOS (White) G2 - MIA (Red) @ BOS (White) G3 - BOS (Black) @ MIA (White) G4 - BOS (Green) @ MIA (White) G5 G6 G7 Western Conference Finals G1 G2 G3 G4 G5 G6 G7
  17. I hate this thread. I hate that this is something we are talking about.
  18. I wonder how many BINDING agreements one can have? Is this a record?
  19. Hugo looks like he's lost a lot of weight. He doing okay?
  20. The sad reality is that's not even technically considered their "HOME" jersey since the gold jersey is considered their Icon Edition. Thanks Nike.
  21. This would only work if the Rays were the team that moved to Orlando.
  22. No ... the numbers originate from the 2013 change, but when the current set was introduced in 2017 the numbers were un-italicized. They're similar in the sense they're sad attempts at modernization, but they're not similar in any regard past that.
