  1. I was actually really impressed with how Vegas responded to that cheap shot. Typically, someone cheap shots your team captain, you come out swinging. Heck, in today's game, guys want to fight....er, wrestle....after clean hits. 

    But Vegas remained composed, played their game and watched Dallas completely implode. 

    Embarrassing night for the organization.

  2. Your Dallas Stars have just run into a very good team. I said from day one of the playoffs on this board that this Dallas squad isn't a Cup contender. Vegas is simply superior....and I hate saying that as I can't stand the Knights. 

    Having said that, I'd be embarrassed as hell by the display of the fans tonight. All those empty seats in the third period? Throwing crap on the ice?  Really? The sudden decrease in ticket prices on Ticketmaster in the last few hours? 

    A sad display by the entire organization today. Feel bad for Pavelski. Dude deserves a Cup. 

  3. What a disappointing development. Have always enjoyed Phoenix as an NHL city. Lots of frostbacks there during the summer. Truth be told, Phoenix is just a disappointing sports town when you look at Suns, Diamondbacks and Cardinals fanbases.

    And from a hockey players perspective, I think I'd much rather live in Phoenix than Quebec City, Houston or Kansas City.

  4. Count me in as looking forward to the off season and next year. What a fun team to follow this year. The Williams picks were great. 

    My major frustration this season was the lack of crowd support. Dead last in the league in attendance. Went to a lot of games this year and some you would have thought we were experiencing an ice storm outside. Oklahoma City is such a mediocre sports town. Drives me nuts.

    OKC fans booing Durant every time he touches the ball is one of the more embarassing things I've ever seen from a fanbase.

    It's been 7 years. Go back to your meth-ridden trailers and let the dude play basketball. 

    Agreed. Was at the game and the hillbilly behind us was literally spitting on us with his overly enthusiastic booing. But they sure love them some Chris Paul.

    Japan has started to creep its way up my wish list.  I need to find a travel buddy to go with me, though.

    No, you don't. Go solo and explore the country on your own. You'll meet lots of great folks. 

    As for the Google Map, I lived in Tokyo before the days of the keitai. Imagine trying to find addresses on your own when you have an appointment. Fun times.

    I have been finding myself more and more on Conan's channel (106).

    Sharp, witty, naturally funny dude.

    I recommend his podcast. It's the one thing that is at least one guaranteed belly laugh per episode. Dude is extremely witty.

    Clippers gave away the future for PG and Kawhi and they’re 21-21 halfway through the season.

    Here's a fun stat: 

    So far this year, Shai has amassed 1,140 total points. 

    Paul George and Kawhi have scored 1,057 COMBINED.

  9. Just curious if anyone else noticed that construction fiasco that occurred outside right before the Leafs game on Tuesday. A couple of cars and a few people got pummeled by wet cement and rocks. Lawyers have definitely been called. Why they were doing that while thousands of people were entering the arena was one of the dumbest things I've ever witnessed at a sporting event. 

  10. Pittsburgh is a good barn with decent fans. 

    If you hit NHL road games, I'd say - aside from the obvious Montreal's and Toronto's - two you have to put up there are Madison Square Garden and Staples Center with the Kings. 

    But most impressive arena to me is Edmonton. That thing is like the year 2071.

  11. First time I've been to a Stars game this year. Best game I've been to in a while. A few worthless observations.....

    1 - Watching Makar and MacKinnon on that 3 on 3 OT was a thing of beauty. Dallas looked like a huff and puff beer league team out there. 

    2 - Enjoyed Benn getting KO'd.....by Dave Manson's son, no less. 

    3 - Great crowd. I'm not a Stars fan but have to give it up to the fanbase. That place was rockin for a Monday night. 

    4 - Marchment doesn't impress me at all. Looked like he was hungover out there.

    5 - Still love Pavelski. Guy does everything. Great signing.  

    6 - Ticket prices have definitely increased this year. Bummer.
