Man, that was awesome. Great TV.

Urine Sane was warned previously about posting spam like this (and was supsended for a few weeks for it, too) so now he's gone. Stallone was another one of US' account.

Shit, that would probably be worse.

They must have hurt his feelings.

I'm siding with neither. It's unbelievable that neither side could get together and fix this mess since they've been talking about this for almost 2 years now. The owners are stupid for letting player salaries get out of hand and the players union really pisses me off some times. Although, the graphic TSN made for the lockout is pretty bad-ass.

I got a 'nice' dose of season 10 and 11 today. CBC @ 5 PM - Strong Arm of the Ma (Season 14) Omni1 @ 6 PM - Mom and Pop Art (Season 10) Fox @ 6 - Faith Off (Season 11) Fox @ 7 - I'm With Cupid (Season 10) Comedy @ 9 - E-I-E-I-(ANNOYED GRUNT) (Season 11) Omni1 @ 10 - Make Room for Lisa (Season 10)

Unfortunately for the Rangers, they can't play the rest of their games this year against the Blue Jays.

Which is why I said it backfired a little. I think the Coyotes are going to be a lot better off now, too, with their new arena. Also, I don't think it was solely a case of Bettman wanting less Canadian and more American teams as it was wanting to expand the game to new, untapped markets. Doesn't really matter. The Avs have been a success on and off the ice and have a shiny new arena, which you know Bettman loves. There you go, the Oilers (and the Flames) had their arena renovated (presumably with more luxury boxes), giving them an added boost. All 6 Canadian teams have had either a new arena built or their existing one renovated in the last 10 or so years. Quebec and Winnipeg (and Hartford, too) couldn't get this so the NHL put them in places where they could. Again, I'm not happy that these teams moved, I'm just pointing out that there were reasons other than to just piss off Canada (and Hartford).

Look, I'm no fan of Canadian franchises (and Hartford) leaving for southern markets, but the fact is that Winnipeg and Hartford really weren't supporting their team by buying tickets to the games. Going by this site, the Jets averaged about 13,000/game in their last 4 seasons and NEVER averaged over 14,000 in their time in Winnipeg in an arena that I'm pretty sure had a capacity of about 15,000 (15,500 according to this place). They couldn't fill their relatively small building on a consistant basis, like Hartford. According to that same site, Hartford's high-water mark was just above 14,000 (14,716) and in Raleigh's it consistently been a little bit better and they've got a state-of-the-art rink to boot. The Nords seem to have had the same problem, although they were closer to their 15,400 capacity. I'm definitely not happy that there aren't teams in Winnipeg and Quebec City anymore, but I don't think this was completely a case of Bettman wanting to move teams to southern climates as it was him trying to make more teams finacially viable. It's probably backfired a little bit, but it's hard to argue with the success of the Avalanche and all 3 relocated WHA teams have new arenas now, something they couldn't get in their old cities.

Haters.

The ones on 5 at CBC seem to be on to the newer ones (the one today was from last season, I think). It's on Omni1 and my Fox affiliate at 6 and they seem to be on older episodes. The same Fox affiliate shows it again at 7, and I think they're still on some older ones. It's on at 9 on Comedy and I think the episodes on them are pretty recent. It's on Omni1 again at either 10 or 11, but I'm not sure where those ones are at. I like watching the ones that Global shows on the weekend, since they aren't cut like the syndicated ones.

So, a Pat Quinn coached team, with a maple leaf as their logo, wins the Cup in Toronto. I can die happy now, I guess.

Aki Berg's going to do something big, whether it's good or bad.

Au revoir, shithead.

Yeah, I just know what I'm told from highlight shows. I hear that Michael Shumacher guy is pretty good.

http://www.detnews.com/2002/motorsports/02...orts-506086.htm It happened to Tracy in the 2002 Indy.

There aren't really any other places (besides Hamilton, I guess, but the Sabres would have to be bought off). It'd be nice to have a team in the Martimes, I guess, but there isn't one city big enough to support a team.

The game today wasn't at Wrigley.

Yeah, you're nuts. With Mr. Ock being the nutty one.

Yeah, you're nuts.

There was a motocross show at the Big O this weekend (and I guess into Monday and Tuesday, too), so that's why they couldn't hold the games there, even if they wanted to.

I'm sure he's just HATING all the attention, too.

He went 5-for-5 in that Grey Cup game in Hamilton against Edmonton where the field was covered in snow, too.
