    Yeah. That’s the way I’ve always heard it. Think it’s possibly on the HBO documentary. I’m going to watch that later after the Stars game.

    Leafs fan do you watch this guy? I ran into him when he was poking Boston with a stick for letting Seguin go. He's been on a tear lately. 

     

    Holy shit -- that's hysterical. DIdn't even realize that happened tonight. I don't follow them that closely these days, mainly because they've been mostly pathetic for the last decade. I was a much bigger fan during the Mats Sundin era there.

    Hagbard is posting about a one-hour Jeremy Schaap interview special on ABC. Who knows if he even realizes it’s not the game. It’s titled SportsCenter Special on the DTV guide. 

    Gotcha. It is odd that ABC/ESPN are not showing the actual game broadcast. I watched Miracle this afternoon on NHL Network. In some commercial breaks, Bob Costas interviewed Al Michaels about the game. Heard some of the clips on the Musers on Friday. It was pretty cool. I hadn't watched Miracle in quite some time -- forgot that they didn't even film a scene for the Finland game and Herb Brooks' infamous quip during the second intermission with them behind 2-1. "If you lose this game you'll take it to your fucking graves!" I had it in my mind the quote had been Disney-fied and changed to "freaking graves" or something.

    Also, I did not realize the format wasn't a straight knock-out tournament in the medal round and that the game against FInland wasn't a true "Gold Medal Game." You played each team from the other division and then the points earned were used to determine gold, silver and bronze. You carried forward your result with the other team from your division so the Americans and Swedes had one point from their tie and the Soviets started with two points because they beat Finland. The Russians would've won gold if Finland had beaten the Americans. We would've fallen to bronze.

    That game was broadcast “tape delay” around midnight. We hosted a “blackout party” .. with plenty of food and drink, but no radio or TV until game time.

    Agree that it was one of the great sports events of a lifetime.  Certainly, a “remember where you were” moment ..

    Yeah, I was pretty sure it was only "tape delayed" for a few hours. IIRC, there were some American TV sportscasts that knew the result and warned people to change the channel if they didn't want to know the result before watching later. (That might be on HBO's wonderful documentary, which I will watch this weekend).

    you absolutely can equate the two.  you're saying that if the baserunner relays the signs its okay, but if someone in the dugout does it, its not.  I call bullshit on that.  there is nothing illegal about sign stealing, or even relaying signs.  what the rule says is no technology.  I call bullshit on that too.  in this day and age of technology - cell phones, ai, smartwatches, etc it will be more and more commonplace.  the result of this controversy wont be to end sign stealing or relaying, but to initiate the advent of better signals.   its not stealing if they give it to you, and the signals are clear for everyone to see.  come with a better system.

    And yet seemingly the entirety of MLB's other teams are livid with the Astros over their advanced sign-stealing system -- I find that very telling. It was that egregious.
