  1. Don’t know how much longer I can handle listening to Mike Emrick sound like he’s getting a prostrate exam.
  2. Pavelski has got to be one of the best FA signings in team history. Face offs, goals, leadership....the total package.
  3. Jesus...the ghost of Gordie Howe just laughed at that call. A slash?
  4. No kidding. If you're referring to Northlands, great sheet. Speaking of great ice....believe it or not...the old Fair Park Coliseum in the mid-90's. Like glass. Worst ice? Waco Heart a Texas Barn. Jesus.
  5. Stamkos may not be 'back' but it's pretty impressive to pick up a geno in - what? - 2? 3 shifts? In comparison, Seguin had 21 minutes of ice time - more than Oettinger - and came away with a whopping 3 shots. That Tampa locker room is rocking having him back. I think Dallas is done. Tampa is the better team.
  6. Hockey players are idiots.
  7. Boy, has the NHL changed. That Maroon shot into the bench was bush league bull shit. Would have been a fun line brawl in the minors ten minutes into that next period. North Stars playing smart thus far.
  8. Any of you guys know the Palm Isle in this town?
  9. Bummer. Was kinda hoping for a Dallas Stars - Fort Worth Texans finals. Love those old school Isles uni's.
  10. So we lost Jimi Hendrix 50 years ago today......a tremendous loss for music. Imagine what he would have created had we had another four years of his career. What musician's death had the biggest impact on you personally?
  11. Dan Rosen - Tyler Seguin just said Anton Khudobin reminds him of Tim Thomas. That's pretty spot on, I think, in terms of how they play and what they've been through to get to the big moment.
  12. Does this team remind anyone else of the 2011 Bruins?
  13. Heck, if Tampa keeps playing 9 forwards, Dallas has a shot to win the whole shabang. Leave it to the Stars to do it during the one year we can’t attend games.
  14. Dagger. What a pass.
  15. Some actual chippiness and fisticuffs in this Islanders/Bolts game.......if you wanna call punching a guy in the helmet and face shield fighting.
  16. I think we're witnessing a legit Conn Smythe performance out of Lehner. Speaking of goaltending, it's been fun watching the youngsters in this year's tournament. Demko is an intriguing keeper moving forward.
  17. Impressed with how the Stars can win close ones. The seventh one goal win in 10 wins in the bubble. Must be nerve-wracking being a Dallas fan.
  18. Boy, is Dallas benefitting from adding some veteran leadership in that dressing room. Here's my prediction for the rest of the playoffs: The Canadians will continue to run a first-rate tournament with zero infections. Tampa will win the Cup over Vegas in six. The idiots in Florida will throw a massive championship parade with no masks or social distancing. Covid, be damned.
  19. Great series. Congrats to the Rockets. Hopefully Westbrook and Harden can finally get that ring. Beat LA!
  20. I should of said not getting past Tampa. You're right that they're peaking at the right time. They're really clicking and playing disciplined right now (exception being that tripping call in the OT). But Tampa seems like the team this year.....as much as I hate to say that. Would love to see an Isles/Canucks final
  21. As an OKC fan, I think Houston wins game 7. Too much talent. But I think the most surreal aspect of this series has been coming over and reading the criticisms of Westbrook and Harden. It was so frustrating watching Russ year after year. Have to say I enjoyed the end of that Game 6.
  22. The Isles are fun to watch. I don't think I've ever - in 40 years - met an Islanders fan outside of New York.....but I'm thinking they may have some fans this summer. Hopefully they can get past Philly and Tampa but I'm not expecting it.
  23. We're gonna get stuck with a stinkin Tampa-Vegas Cup final.....unfortunately. Fanbases in Ontario, Alberta, and Manitoba deserve a Cup much more than the fans in places like Florida, Nevada and - sorry - Texas. Damn shame.
  24. Personally, I find the idea of remaking PT&A completely ridiculous. Having said that, one thing I've learned from having a black partner for many years is this.......black folks aren't huge fans of white comedians. I'm not sure why this is. Kind of in the same way men aren't huge fans of female comedians. Go to a Dave Chappell, Cedric the Entertainer, Chris Rock live show and you'll find lots of white folks in the audience. Go to a Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Gaffigan, Brian Regan, Steve Martin show.....no black folks. (Don't get me started on Gary Owen) I think this carries over to black remakes of 'white' films. Doesn't seem like the payout would be worth it but it's made Tyler Perry a very rich man.
  25. Well, as a Thunder fan, I just wanna say you guys played of a hell of a series. I knew we weren't gonna get past you. See you next season.
