I didn't know it was physiorogical, I arways just figuled that they could plonounce their Ls and Rs collectly just by being immelsed in collect plonunciation.

Bah. I liked the skate logo that the Canucks had when they were Cup contenders.

So apparently the league feels that because they've been doing it the right way for all these years since the advent of color television (except that 75th season deal), they need to throw off everybody by having the white sweaters away and the dark sweaters at home. First of all, this is going to be just visually disconcerting for people such as myself who associate the colored sweaters with being away. The red Blackhawks sweater won't look right in Chicago. Secondly, this makes things wacky for dual-logo teams, as now the Senators are wearing their alternate logo at home, and the Maple Leafs have their logo inverted and thus weird-looking at home. Apparently the reasoning behind this has something to do with that familiar plague of the NHL, the third jersey. I don't know exactly how, but apparently now these damned things will screw up tradition in addition to just being ugly. So, now add this to Gary Bettman's hit list, along with renaming the divisions to resemble the NBA, realigning the playoff structure, overexpanding the league, killing off the WHA teams, and so much more. Man, Dennis Miller really had it down back in 1994 when he pegged Bettman as "some sort of Napoleonic creep."

Agreed. It's a shame he's stuck in Dallas. If he was in Chicago, San Francisco, or New York, he'd be bigger than big. He's not going to get the MVP with the Rangers now matter how well he does because even though he's the standout player, he's on a team that's missing the playoffs, and By virtue of that there are more valuable players than he. So basically I guess what I'm trying to say is that A-Rod should play for the Cubs.

I want to say Dr. Tom Pritchard. He played some masked wrestler that had Mr. or Dr. or X or Wrestling. Mr. Wrestling, Dr. Wrestling, Mr. X, Dr. X?

After watching the new Teen Girl Squad, I think a Best Moment Ever would include Triple H and Randy Orton saying "we're so cool,"only to be smashed by a weight and a sack of potatoes, while a voice says "NO! YOU'RE NOT!"

I like the commercial for Schenectady Crispies better.

also, the sequel on the Labor Day Raw, quite possibly the best two hours of unintentional comedy. Any show where a big bald crazy guy tries to induce an orgasm of lethal proportions on his victim = gold.

Maybe his justification was "Damn sucka, you know how it's gots to be: a brotha just gots to carry that WHITE shit all day, yo, and I is sick of dat wack-ass shit." Fun fact for the day: only white people say "bling bling" or talk like that. My point exactly.

I think the Devils should wear not the Scouts nor Rockies sweaters, but the Christmas ones from the 80s. That way they could share some holiday spirit...God knows their gameplay needs all the spirit it can get.

Brush me up on HHHello. I go with the closet as #1, or Steinerline '03, with Steinerline '03 II: Electric Boogaloo in there as well.

Helms used to be the kid in the lunchroom that's always getting in fights with people but it never progresses past really wussy shoving. "Yeah we hooked up." "What? You touched her? That's it! You wanna fight?" "You want some bitch?" "No, YOU'RE the bitch!" "I'ma knock your ass out!" "Bring it bitch!" Like so. Then it gets broken up. I see this as a winning gimmick for Shane.

The reasoning that hometown fans should be exposed to the dark and alternate sweaters is flimsy at best. Actually, more often than not, the white sweaters look equal to or better than the dark sweaters in terms of aesthetic value. Cases in point: Calgary, Colorado, Toronto, Philadelphia, and Detroit. Their visitor counterparts either lack contrast, look bland, or just bad. I don't understand how this gives more exposure to the non-white sweaters. If I, a Blackhawks fan, decide to go to my local sporting-goods store to buy a hideously overpriced hockey sweater, I, as a fan, am aware of the three colors available: white, red, or black. If the colors are in fact inverted, I will not go "Hey! Wow! I didn't know they had red ones! I thought they just ahd those boring white ones. I'll pay $80 for that, no question!"No. Fans know what colors their team wear. They're not adding exposure. This isn't going to accomplish anything.

4-12! Get your facts straight!

They have one in NHL 2003. It's white with a red stripe. I tihnk they made it up.

How can you bet on a predetermined sport??

The red ones suck! The 3-D head is bad, and those weird white things look stupid. I do like the typeface on the names though.

No, Max: Use the top logo there on the third one here: So the alternate there would be an away and then change the black to white for home. Or away now that Bettman done fucked it all up. Then for a third one, now that you mention it, sure, slap the tower-leaf thing on there. I guess I'm a Sens fan, even if I pronounce the city wrong: I say "Aht-uh-wuh," like the city in Illinois, instead of "Awt-uh-wah" like the Canadian people say it.

Don't make things so com-play.

Senators need new sweaters I think. I don't like their current ones. My idea is to take the alternate one with the gold laurel-leaf stripes, and have a white one of that for home and a black one away, both with the regular 2-D logo.

Are you crossing your fingers for Cubs-Sox too? (Either Sox will amuse me BTW)
