Yeah it's very confusing. Two great trades and then you sign a goalie to that price? If they would have taken the youth movement I believe they would still be a competive team with Claude and JVR but like you posted above, money is over most things for owners and I've seen it first hand.

Richards and Carter trade were terrific IMO. The finger pointing if they struggle should go to Nabby and Jagr and even if that doesn't pan out, they have a terrific young core to build around.

Why do they have to win for the Richards and Carter trade?

Watching my first game of the year, pumped!

Someone threw the bannana a few games too early.

Patch out soon so you can start franchises.

....now the Brooklyn Nets!

For real?

Great post.

Bills fans floating back down to earth. Hit the rebuild button for once Ralph.

That smirk he gives me is because he knows what she is capable of and that we are now... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWH0B-jK3zA

The stripper in a box should be arriving soon. I didn't poke any holes in the box so sorry if she's dead. HAPPY BDAY!

Never jammed it but got my finger stuck in a helmet during football and did the reverse of jamming. Just delightful.

Last night was a racist act but then TSN goes and interviews a bunch of black guys. It'll never stop with stupid shit like that.

Couple reporters are saying this is one of the best teams since '93 and we are predicted to be 8th. Shows what a mess management made this team for years.

Question is, what makes basketball that way? Less overall talent or because fewer guys are needed to be a winner?

Why couldn't have Boston just outplayed them? It's not like some of the Yankees on that team had never won a championship before or didn't win one after that. Boston Bruins blew a 3-0 lead to Philly which is rare in hockey and the next year they are champions. Did they choke or the better team won and they improved their roster and won it this year?

Outplayed in four games? Has no team in history had a four game win streak? Choking is a word that gives less credit to the actual winner.

I don't really see it as choking as more of the better team won that day. The undefeated Patriots lost the Superbowl but if it was a three game series, they could have easily been champion. It doesn't work like that though and years down the line, nobody remembers second place.

Of course. NFL comes to the top of my head just with the playoff format. In the end though, one team is still the champion.

Nope I'm pretty sure he said championship as in World Champions. But the problem is some teams just get lucky in the this current era and still grab a championship while not being the best team in the world. Should the Bruins Stanley Cup have a * beside it stating how they got it and who was injured on the other teams? Of course not. Winning is winning no matter the year. 50 years ago there were still trades, drafts and pretty much the same sport but the only difference is it was back then and that's what makes history.

..and they are located by schools in the US? Roadtrip tonight!

Drug free zone? Where is this zone you can smoke in?

People who love the history of sport. What's the point of a team winning this year? So you can forever be remembered in history as the greatest team of that one season. Doesn't take an idiot to know that.
