me too that's why I stopped dropping acid

Fans wear jerseys so it's not out of this world to put your logo on it

Lol inb4 they wear the throwback against NY and the Jets go mono-black

The Cowboys in Super Bowl V had to wear their blue jerseys due to the rules at the time. This is the only one of their eight SB appearances where they wear blue

If the Avs win I hope it's a gentleman's sweep so they can clinch at home

The 2007 Ducks in these abominations

It's the NHL guys. It's not serious.

I asked because I'm interested in your realignment, not as criticism.

OITGDNHL Future Takes:

 

The NHL absurdly decides to expand to 36 teams with Kansas City, Houston, Portland & San Diego.

 

Still no team in Quebec City and yes the Coyotes still exist in Arizona. 

 

Vegas decides to add Las to it's name.

I'm having a hard time understanding the new "rules" or lackthereof. 

 

If the new helmets for this season have to be pre-existing in the style guide (like the patriots white, falcons black, etc) how are the Eagles getting a black helmet to use for one season only & Washington gets an alternate for their alternate. 

The rules will be relaxed within 3 years and completely gone soon after so don't worry about it too much

I think if the move happened in real life they'd go with Bay Area in order to appeal to the Oakland fans as well as the new fans in SF/Santa Clara

Major upgrade

But the Stanley Cup has been brought back to Canada literally every summer. When Ottawa lost to Anaheim in the Finals the Ducks had more Canadians on their roster than the Sens did.

I'm sure some 4th liner has brought the Cup to San Jose too but I doubt it's much of a consolation for Sharks fans

People talk about this "Canadian Cup drought" as if every Canadian player plays for one of the 7 teams. It's a completely arbitrary group of teams who just happen to all have home arenas north of the border.

 

Every single Stanley Cup winner has had several Canadians on their roster. The so-called "drought" is just a media fabrication.

It's pretty noteworthy that fans from the country that invented hockey have not been able to celebrate their team winning a Cup in 30 years.

Oh no. This would have to be the worst looking Stanley Cup Final ever, right? It's ten times worse than the last time they faced off.

The only one I can think of that would be comparable is Ducks-Sens. The only salvageable uni in that one was Ottawa's aways. Canes and Oilers both have good away uniforms

Avs look pretty good I'd say it was a lateral move

The Patriot head shoulder stripes are top tier design. I would love modern version of these

 

I love the numbers and faded stripes. Really unique

The biggest thing that the new rule stated is that, in order to get credit for a no-hitter, the pitcher has to pitch nine innings, and his team has to win the game. 

You don't have to win the game. Ken Johnson in 1964  and the Orioles' combined no-no in 1967 are both officially no-hitters despite those pitchers losing.

Ernie Shore relieved Ruth. The hitter who had walked was caught stealing, and then Shore retired the next 26 men. This remains a combined perfect game and a combined no-hitter

It's just a combined no-hitter, since a batter reached based.

18 hours ago, Ferdinand Cesarano said:

(Left unanswered is the question of how the rules would handle a no-hitter or a perfect game in a scheduled seven-inning game, as opposed to a rain-shortened seven-inning game.)

Bumgarner gave up no hits in a 7-inning clowngame last year and it isn't counted as an official no-hitter

I'm not ready to agree with the NHL Warriors comparison. I mean, adding Pat Maroon is not exactly the hockey equivalent of Kevin Durant.

Yeah, Pat has more rings

Another year of playoffs another year of people freaking out when teams restrict ticket sales to only home fans

Week 10 (November 13th) - Seahawks vs. Buccaneers in Munich

Glad they're expanding into more countries. Also Seattle having to travel to the opposite end of the globe is funny
