TFoA

I wasn't a fan of these when they came out initially, and I'm still not a fan of all of the crazy alts that they have (including the navy alt), but I've warmed up to them now and they've become one of my favorite looks in the entire NBA. Granted, the rest of the NBA is in a horrid state when it comes to uniforms, but this one is a shining light of doing something right when it comes to the uniforms.

To be fair, that wasn't an NHL decision. I actually got a copy with Heatley on the cover for my birthday when it came out. Needless to say, it was pretty damn awkward.

It was during the 1-2 year period where the Thrashers were actually a somewhat competent team on the ice.

Agreed. Never really got why the majority of CCSLCers seem to hate this logo. It's not as good as the leaping Bengal, but it's not a bad logo by any means.

Agreed 8000%. When they went from stirrups to solid socks/long pants, I didn't shed a tear.

He looks odd in this uniform too: YES. I do not associate A.I. with this uniform at all. Hell, I barely associate him with the Red-White-&-Blue color scheme at all since he only wore it for a year or two in his early days. The logo identity that the Sixers used before this one could truly be defined as the Iverson Era.

Yes, nine posts above yours. A tentative deal? Haven't we been to this dance before? Yeah, like 50 times. If the past is any indicator, this means two things: 1) The deal WILL fall through, but not in enough time to get the team moved. 2) As a result of the Coyotes staying in the desert for yet another season, another team is gonna get sacrificed to Canada. It's been my gut feeling for months that this was gonna be the most likely scenario. Looks like it's gonna happen, again.

What the... That only makes sense if You made your fatal mistake when you tried to make some sort of sense out of this.

Holy crap, this is gonna go on another year, isn't it?!

Wait, wasn't it the whole "counting your chickens before they hatch" thing that got Ol' Sillie Balls thrown out of the Owner's Club before he even got a chance to join?

Tickets for the Islanders-Devils exhibition game went on sale today - here's the seating map on the ticket page: Sorry to interrupt the latest Coyotes news, but the Barclays Center website has a different seating chart with no available seating at one end of the arena. (My apologies for the large image size, they don't have a smaller one on the site.) Holy , the Islanders are SCREWED.

I believe that banner was only hung for the final Expos home game. I'm not so sure it was the last game at Stade Olympique. Look at the Brewers logo right next to the banner, it's the mid-90s "Motre Bame" logo. The Brewers switched to their current identity in 2000. You'd think that by 2004, they'd have changed it. Found the box score from the Tigers-White Sox game on the scoreboard. It was indeed from September 29, 2004.

And that, in a nutshell, is the real problem. They're not the only one with that problem. I was in Anaheim last night and the crowd was very evenly split between Sharks and Ducks fans despite neither team being out of the playoff hunt yet, and it was nowhere near a sell out. I was shocked based on how popular the Ducks were just a few years ago. Well, I mean, the two teams are from the same state and the Ducks are in a down year. Of course there's gonna be a good chunk of Sharks fans in there. The Coyotes' problem is that they probably could win the Stanley Cup this season and still have trouble selling out games next season, should they somehow still be there next season.

It's better not to try to make sense of it. Instead, just say this: OITGDNHL.
