Can you let the 'Hawks have this one? It's been so long that I've forgotten what it's like to see a Blackhawks playoff game...... :(
 
HAWKS?! MORE LIKE CAWKS!

I have a Belfour rookie card somewhere.

Oh yeah? Well, I've got autographed cards from Felix Potvin and Grant Fuhr!

:(

4-3 Devils now. Damn.

And what the heck is going on in the Philly/Leafs game? 8-5?!
 
fallout said:
Why are you sadfacing Grant Fuhr? He did win 5 cups.

True. I'm not sure why I did that. The cards are just sitting around in a box somewhere. Wonder if I'd get anything for them today. I remember when I got the Potvin autograph, the kid had acne like mad.
 
My brother paid $18 bucks for an unopened O-Pee-Chee pack back in the mid-90s and pulled a mint Stevie Y rookie.

No idea what it's worth.
 
Then, the entourage walked into the Cavs' dressing room and Ovechkin and LeBron met.

According to Steinberg, Ovechkin didn't say much. Leonsis did most of the talking, first introducing Backstrom and Ovechkin to the global basketball star.

LeBron reportedly called Ovechkin "Prime Time." Carter also told LeBron that Ovechkin "did the hottest celebration in hockey, the hot stick."

"Yeah," LeBron said. "He's a bad boy. God ... I don't know how you guys do that (stuff), sliding on the ice and still hit the (dang) puck? Whooo."

Steinberg writes that LeBron told Leonsis that he has never been to a hockey game, so the owner offered to take him to one.

"I heard they're amazing," LeBron said.

Ovechkin then embarrassed the basketball star by handing him a jersey and signing it. LeBron didn't have one for Ovechkin, but Leonsis said, "You can send him one."

"I like this," LeBron said. "Appreciate it."


WTF?! :lol

Don't worry Sef, I'm sure we'll be able to use this more.
ill never say another bad word about the sharks or marty chinn again if the sharks take these next two against the ducks in regulation.
 
Losing 4-0 sucks, but losing 4-0 *really* blows when you don't watch the game but catch a glimpse of the score on a ticker in the middle of the game and misread it causing you to think your team is actually up 2-0. Seeing the final was not only depressing, but surprising and upsetting. :lol
 
"Hicks Sports Group, which owns baseball’s Texas Rangers and hockey’s Dallas Stars, failed to make its interest payment on $525 million in syndicated bank loans on Monday. The group is now in talks with its lenders about a forbearance.

According to the source, who has seen documents relating to the loans, Hicks defaulted on a $350 million bank term loan, $100 million second-lien loan and a $75 million revolving credit facility."
 
Would be so weird if Modano played for the same team in 3 different locations.

Does Blackberry, Canada still want a team?
 
A third team for Modano? :lol Ol' gap teef will be put out to pasture as soon as the regular season ends and the Stars get put out of their collective misery.

He can graze with his big ol' molars on the open Texas plain, humping his aging blond filly and snuffling his oats.
 
How does one go about defaulting on a loan that big, I've always been curious. Is it like when I can't pay my cable bill?

Better then Linden, who was shipped off to the glue factory 3 years too late.
 
I'm sorry, I didn't hear you from this wonderful, playoff-spot-clinching height.

Perhaps you should yell louder.
 
BETTER THEN LINDEN, WHO WAS SHIPPED OFF TO THE GLUE FACTORY 3 YEARS TOO LATE.

You'll hear me better in a few weeks.

Wow, looking at nhl.com it's insane how close these guys are for points per game:

Malkin - 1.40
Ovechkin - 1.39
Crosby - 1.38
if it comes down to malkin v ovechkin, it has to go to ovechkin for his amount of goals.

And if Semin wasn't hurt this year he'd be right up there too. Pittsburgh vs. Washington is probably the most interesting rivalry the NHL has had in the last decade.

Very close in Points Per Minute as well:

Parise .063
Datsyuk .063
Malkin .062
Crosby .062
Ovechkin .060
 
I don't think there's a shot in hell that Ovie gets Hart again this year. All the dumbfuck writers are gonna be too busy saying there's no room in the game for HOTDOGGIN IT like he did.

And Florida better not fuck up the chance we're gonna give em.

:lol

Hopefully the Stars can pull one out tonight... I'm a little torn though because of this late season push by St. Louis. Oshie and Crombeen are cool. I even kinda like Mason. But fuck you Brad Winchester. Fuck you.
