He's been giving rebounds like that all series. Bruins could barely capitalize.
Poor Kave.
Things were bad for Wings fans up until they lost to the Devils, and then gained the rivalry with the Avalanche. Good times to be had. Before that, going to games was damn depressing. People were still chanting Dead Wings. Which was strange, since my family was so upbeat about the Wings. Although, most of that might've been my great-uncle nearly playing for the Wings even if he turned it down to be a Detroit cop. When things turned around for the Wings...well...a couple of my cousins are named for Wings.
Nowadays it certainly keeps my hopes up during any Lions season.

*hugs Kave* At least Cleveland doesn't have an NHL team to let you down too.

They should let the Leafs in the playoffs more often
God those games back in the late 90's were fucking awesome. Super Joe is the only hockey jersey I've ever bought, I miss that team. I had some good memories (and bad I guess!), of that time period. But the battles with the Wings were always awesome imo.

Leafs took their foot off the gas after the 4th goal. Carlisle coached a helluva series but playing to not lose is shit strategy no matter what sport.
Those were my favorite games to watch, without reservation.

Don't do it Cajunator.
Im not a baseball fan but I kind of like the Cubs.
Casually supporting the Leafs wouldnt hurt anything.
except im not a fan of Tdot.
Don't make the same mistakes Kave made picking his teams.
Pick an original six team and you should do fine. Although being a Leafs fan is akin to being a Lions fan, with less stomping.

Much more championships though.
Leafs finally seem to be coming out of their slump. Unfortunately they made another dumbass move by firing Brian Burke just as he managed to put together a playoff team.

Go Wild.
Only nine less! :jnc
I think I could follow hockey.
lafayette has a minor league team called the Ice Gators and they are fun to watch.
Im not sure how emotionally invested I would be in a team outside my state but I will research the teams.
It might come down to uniform design or playing style.
who knows.
The NHL regular season has an much meaning and value as the Patriots Superbowls.
If you want to get into it then start by seeing some games live. It is really fun to see a game live and much better than tv.

Remember when the Steelers beat the Patriots in the playoffs on their way to a Super Bowl?
You can root for the Islanders, then! The Ice Gators are apparently one of their minor league affiliates.
One of their coaches sounds awesome.

That's just my fantasy dude. Pats were never good enough to meet us in the playoffs when we were good. They always lost to juggernauts like the Plummer Broncos or teams based on buttfumble.

Maybe the Pats can get Vinateri again and he can put Brady on his back again for one more ring.
Gators can live forever and have very good memories.
He is probably the only one in the board who does remember though. Pretty sure even Tammy and Bill can't remember it as it was so long ago.

I remember beating the fuck out of the #1 seed 15-1 Steelers in Pittsburgh.
I bet bionic cried after that game.
I bet bionic cried after that game.
Yeah the former coach was a crazy fucker.
it was awesome.
Im not sure I wanna root for a team that Jets fans probably root for.
:jnc fair enough!
Not as bad as 2001.
2004 was not as big of a shock. Ben wore down at the end of the season. Hell we barely beat the Jets the week before. The Jets! But we stomped the fuck out of the Pats in the regular season before Ben hit the wall. I was not that surprised when we lost in 2004. I could see it coming.
I also knew he would go on to win at least one SB. From the first game I knew he was a winner. Just like I knew Brady was a dickless demon right from the start.

Leafs-GAF will only be tighter knit and stronger going into next season just like the actual Leafs team.
Until then I have to live with the laughing stock of the Jets until October.

Im sorry Kave. The Wild got stomped, it hurt.

That avatar is making me sad. Don't frown Kave. The Brown will make the playoffs this season. Please change your avatar back.He will be okay. At least the Leafs have won multiple championships. It may have been a long time ago, but it did happen legitimately.
Baby steps, man. Most teams that make it to playoffs for the first time in a while get bounced in the first round, in any sport. Teams need that experience to grow.

One day the Broncos might win the SB again.But not with Peyton.Tebow at least gave you a chance.

I remember this one time when that happened to the New England football Patriots, though.

Just got back from reading the comments on the pictures NFL posted on facebook of the new stadium. No disappointment, "No trophies lol", "Purple is gay", "GO PACK", "This roof gonna cost way more to fix!", "Who is AD? lol they mean AP", "Why make a stadium for a team that doesnt go to the playoffs", "MUH TAXES!".
