dbadefense1990 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Further, the Blackhawks were a team that was built legitimately. The Miami Heat were a collusion disaster that embodies everything that is wrong with the NBA. God that league sucks.Nonsense. Collusion? How were the Heat not built "legitimately?"Let's take this argument to the NBA boards, shall we...Update, 1:10pm PST: Argument made on NBA boards.

HedleyLamarr Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 The Coyotes' website is an absolute nightmare. Don't know the technical term for it, but they've got two different backgrounds/skins under what's finally displayed, which triples the loading time.Speaking of the Coyotes' website, this is never a good sign.

The Giant Pacific Octopus Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 and so the Hawks can be said to be 16-0-6 with the game clock running.The number in the middle is the key point here. The Catch of the Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmic Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Apologies if this was already on the thread, but I heard it on the Puck Podcast this morning and I figured if it had been brought up, it would've drawn a lot of comment.Because Ryan O'Reilly played in the KHL after the CBA was signed, he would've had to clear waivers if he played for any team other than the Avalanche this season. So... if the Avalanche did not match the offer sheet, Calgary would've given the Avs a 1st and 3rd pick while likely getting nothing in return, because O'Reilly would've probably been claimed off of waivers. Craziness. The Flames say they wouldn't have had to put him on waivers, but admit that their interpretation differs from that of the league.http://sports.yahoo....38820--nhl.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Bunky Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Well, the joke misfired."If the win the Cup this year I hope they do it at home...I already have the red jersey!"I'm certain you meant white, since they clinched the Cup in Philadelphia.I hope they win the Cup at home because I already have the red jersey and it will only cost a few bucks to put the patch on it as opposed to buying a new white one if they win on the road again.Do you buy Wings jerseys when they win the Cup?

Sport Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Going back to the Stephen A Smith thing, I think it's bigger than just him. This happened on Sportscenter, ESPN's "flagship" news show. It wasn't the scourge of sports journalism that is First Take. His debate opponent Skip Bayless wasn't out there to dump on hockey with him (Bayless may hate hockey more than SAS by the way). It was the show that's supposed to about reporting though we all know that ship sailed a long time ago.ESPN can't just talk about the historical implications of the Blackhawks streak and educate viewers on what this means. It has to be compared to something completely different in a completely different sport. If this was happening during November they probably would've found a way to work Tim Tebow into the story. SAS was sent out by ESPN troll and here I am talking about it. Sarah Walsh used to work for an NHL team. She knows there's no ties anymore. So why doesn't she correct him? Because it wasn't in the script.Stephen A. Smith trolled the NHL, but what really happened was the worldwide leader trolled the NHL. I gave up on the network three years ago and haven't missed it. I have even more reason to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still MIGHTY Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Two straight 5-4 shoot out losses in Glendale for Anaheim.

The_Admiral Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 but the NBA's regular season is a joke, because nothing really matters until the postseasonYes, as we talk about a league where 8 seeds beat 1 seeds with regularity and teams can leapfrog five or six positions in the standings by taking a long time to lose. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
