No interesting questions yet

Probably wont be

[robust grotto]

Nhl won the war

[rustic mountain]

WHA teams were absorbed into the NHL

[short flame]

[rustic mountain]

Same thing happened to ABA teams

[short flame]

Why did they let this die

[rustic mountain]

And the NBA

[short flame]

Any chance you can send the coyotes to Cincinnati

[rustic mountain]

Wouldn't be a west team anymore lmao

So Probably wont happen

[short flame]

Send that random team that’s in the east to the west

[rustic mountain]

No one would budge tbh

The only teams that would be able to would be like Detroit and they fought really hard to be in the east

[short flame]

Really wanted to be with the cool kids

Send them back

Or the blue jackets

Isn’t Cincinnati close to the predators?

[simple seal]

Didnt have enough money to survive

[robust grotto]

Nah I wouldn’t want a team in Cincy

Salt Lake pls

[simple seal]

Only merger on equal terms was NFL-AFL cause the AFL actually started becoming profitable

Never will there be a bigger fleecing than the New York Nets when they joined the NBA

[rustic mountain]

Houston please

Give nothing to Utah

[smoky fable]

A corner for the Colts

[rustic ore]

Casual fans are supposed to recognize someone with a generic ass name like Isaiah Rodgers?

[smoky fable]

I mean he did get that pick 6 against the Vikings

In the game they gave up that historic lead

Actually scratch that

He did not get that pick 6

[short flame]

But they don’t have halites

[simple seal]

Unlike the other three ABA teams entering the NBA, who played in cities without any NBA presence, the Nets were required by the NBA to pay an "encroachment fee" of $4.8 million (equivalent to $25 million in 2022) to the New York Knicks. The team financed that payment by selling Doctor J's contract to the Philadelphia 76ers; and the Nets went from winning the last ABA title in 1975–76 to having the worst record in the NBA in 1976–77. The team then moved back to New Jersey in 1977 and became the New Jersey Nets.

"NFL investigating colts player who may have gambled on his own games"
Player in question:

[rustic ore]

Fr

[smoky fable]

He is a starter for them

[short flame]

Apparently the league is against having 2 teams in the same region. So no to two teams in Texas

[smoky fable]

So he’s not some scrub

[rustic mountain]

He's a starter for the Colts

He is a scrub

[smoky fable]

Damn

[rustic mountain]

You'll have to explain the following then:
Islanders and Rangers (NY)
Kings and Ducks (Southern CA)
Penguins and Flyers (PA)
Sens and Leafs (Ontario)

Don't forget the Panthers and Bolts

And if we are expanding even further, the Devils could be thrown in with the Rangers and Islanders as well as the Sabres

[short flame]

I was told that Quebec couldn’t have a team because of the Montreal market so I thought it applied for any new team that wants to join

[rustic mountain]

It's not that they cant

It's that Montreal would be really hard on saying no as much as they could

The NHL can expand wherever it wants to

provided the city wants that

[short flame]

Provided it’s not in Canada

[short flame]

Bunch of losers

Why would you not want a derby

[rustic mountain]

Easy. Money

The less fans for Montreal the less money they make

[short flame]

Doesn’t rivalries bring in money?

[rustic mountain]

Not as much as having the whole pie to yourself

[short flame]

But they already don’t have those fans

[rustic mountain]

Not necessarily only in person fans

See Montreal also gets all the local tv rights

[short flame]

Don’t go to Quebec City with a Montreal jersey

[rustic mountain]

They get to put their merch and more of it in stores

[short flame]

It’s a death sentence

[rustic mountain]

Not disagreeing. Just if another team moves in that's less everything for Montreal

[robust grotto]

Houston and Dallas are far from each other too tbh

That’s like a 4/5 hour drive dude

[short flame]

But doesn’t the league share the tv revenue?

[short flame]

Quebec is 3 hours not that different

4 if you take a detour to go eat a poutine at Drummond

[celest zephyr]

Quebec City is fine

They’ll just never do it

[rustic mountain]

It does but idk all of the deals teams have. I am not an expert. Just on paper Montreal has very very little incentive to want Quebec City to come back

[celest zephyr]

Even though I’d much rather prefer it over Arizona

[short flame]

But honestly having a whole market to yourself sure brings more money but makes it so much boring for fans

[robust grotto]

Fuck game 2 hype

[celest zephyr]

They’ve had ideas of having Toronto have two teams

Which is lame af

[short flame]

[celest zephyr]

Leafs already big enough

Haven’

[rustic mountain]

The NHL gives no shits as long as it brings money

[robust grotto]

I know I said it last game but T-Mobile is def high on the list. Always feels like it’s pumping

[celest zephyr]

T seen many two team arrangements work

[rustic mountain]

Sane reason Hamilton won't get a team

[celest zephyr]

I’d be livid if they did

[rustic mountain]

Leafs would hella block that If possible

See

[short flame]

Montreal don’t have an incentive to bring anyone. They’re already bad enough as it is

[celest zephyr]

Montreal is a separate market from Quebec City

Don’t think Hamilton is

[short flame]

I don’t know how it works in nhl but watching the football team from Montreal in tv is impossible unless you have the local network because of French stupid laws

I paid 100$ to have dazn which had the whole mls except games from Montreal

Because the French channel had the rights to the team

[rustic mountain]

Gib Hamilton a team. Or Halifax I don't care lol

[short flame]

Just expand a bunch of teams

[rustic mountain]

Tbh I am team Quebec City as is. It wont happen but I wish it would

[short flame]

Hawaii, Cincinnati, Saskatoon, Quebec, Houston and Salt Lake City

[rustic mountain]

QC is a perfect hockey town

YES SASKATOON

LET ME GO TO GAMES EASILY

[short flame]

The game against Seattle was amazing in the memorial cup

When we won it

[short flame]

If Gary wasn’t a moron he’d expand

[rustic mountain]

Gary wants teams in America

[short flame]

Oh that reminds me

[rustic mountain]

His Arizona Obsession is proof enough

[short flame]

Mexico City

[rustic mountain]

Shit lmao

[short flame]

And we need a last one to reach 40

[rustic mountain]

I would be more likely to say Quebec City than Mexico City

The day the NHL expands to Mexico is the day I walk on water

[short flame]

We need 8 more teams

To hit perfect 40

You need ambition

[rustic mountain]

Uhm. Fuck it put one in Portland

[short flame]

Put the last one in Halifax

[short flame]

Oh my bad dude

[rustic mountain]

Portland loves hockey man

[short flame]

You were a second too late

[rustic mountain]

Lol it's fine

[short flame]

We had just reached 40

[rustic mountain]

It's fun to think of imaginary franchises in general

Just not Salt Lake.

[short flame]

I’ll call Henrick

[rustic mountain]

[short flame]

He’ll bring it to life

[short flame]

Fuck salt lake let’s do Portland

[rustic mountain]

[short flame]

I love the Timbers

[rustic mountain]

Portland Pines or something

Portland rn has the whl team the Winterhawks

[short flame]

My boy chara

My favourite FIFA player

[short flame]

Portland pine Woods

[robust grotto]

40 teams hurts to read lol

I don’t want them to go past 32 either really

[short flame]

So we have the nordiques, the pines, the vulcanos, stingers, the hockey club de mexico, a team in Halifax Houston and Saskatoon

[short flame]

Lacking ambition

[rustic mountain]

I dont think 40 would be that bad tbh

[dim ledge]

40 teams

https://tenor.com/view/dying-monkey-dying-gif-13123180

[sweet tree]

loooool

36

[rustic mountain]

Not saying to do it but if the talent pool was there

Which it never would be

[sweet tree]

40 would work in Europe

[short flame]

The continent is big enough

[rustic mountain]

Why Europe but not NA lol

[short flame]

Go big or go home

[celest zephyr]

40????? Dang y’all going crazy

32 is good

[calm mulch]

Neymar in shape for next season 💀

[sweet tree]

how big is the roster for hockey

he always looks like that

not a problem

[short flame]

It’s not enough. We need more to adapt to everyone. Not enough teams for every market. Think about the poor Hawaiian fans

[short flame]

Why is the kid in better shape

[sweet tree]

he hasn't trained in months+ it's probably just bloating

ah slightly bigger than the nba

[short flame]

Buffalo had 26 players last season

[rustic mountain]

Hawaiian Hockey

Now we have gone too far

[sweet tree]

[robust grotto]

Gary when he sees the travel bills

[short flame]

Don’t disrespect my vulcanos

[rustic mountain]

I have a good friend who is a native to Hawaii. I am pretty sure she would laugh her ass off at the idea lmao

[short flame]

Don’t worry he’ll be long gone by that time

Who doesn’t want an ice surrounded by lava

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-gif-25960792

[robust grotto]

ITS GAME 2 TIME ( in twelve minutes )

[sweet tree]

36 teams is probably ideal in the future

[short flame]

Vulcanos are coming to take over the sport

[short flame]

40

Obviously long term

[robust grotto]

36 in nba, nfl, and mlb too ?

[sweet tree]

nfl franchises could likely succeed anywhere no?

[rustic mountain]

The NFL is 100000% expanding in the next decade

[sweet tree]

idk about the others

[robust grotto]

10000%

[short flame]

So is the nhl

[rustic mountain]

The NBA will eventually too. Gotta get that Vegas money

[robust grotto]

NFL team would be able to play in a muddy field in Alabama and kill it

[rustic mountain]

In Alabama?? Mmmmmm idk

It depends

[weak gull]

Do not fucking send my guys back

At fucking all

[rustic mountain]

Because they would have to deal with the popularity of

Roll Tide

It could work but like Bama fans like Bama

And idk if I see much else succeeding personally

[weak gull]

They’d support an nfl team too. Plenty are falcons fans

[rustic mountain]

Maybe maybe

It's got me on the fence

[weak gull]

Would be shit to have a team in bama tho imo

Better spots fr

[rustic mountain]

It wouldn't be the first place I see the nfl expand to

The NFL wants Europe so bad

[sweet tree]

just get one in Canada

europe doesn't make much sense

[weak gull]

If anything to get to 36

Somewhere in Canada, St. Louis, and then the other 2 are up for grabs

[rustic mountain]

They stalk Europe, throw rocks at Europe's house, hope to get invited to Europe's house parties

[short flame]

Lucky for you we’ve expanded to 40

[rustic mountain]

Why else would they havw games in fucking Munich, Germany

No offense to Germany

But like

Bro

[celest zephyr]

I think its going to 36 for nfl 32 nba and nhl

For now

Nfl biggest

[weak gull]

They won’t go to Europe

[celest zephyr]

Nba only at 30 and they haven’t seemed like they have a real expansion team coming

[short flame]

40 for nhl

[celest zephyr]

Nhl just expanded

[weak gull]

Too much backlash in my eyes and too much with the travel issues imo

[rustic mountain]

If they can make it work, I am putting my money on London getting a team

[celest zephyr]

So like unless Bettman got a fat wad of cash right now

Hé ain’t expanding in the near future

[short flame]

Bettman out Henrick comes and saves the sport

[rustic mountain]

But if there is no avenue, I think somewhere in Texas or the South in general

[weak gull]

I don’t think they expand soon like people anticipate

[short flame]

You gotta strive for top of the world

Hockey is too low

[celest zephyr]

I think they will at some point but yeh maybe like closer to 5-10 years from now

[rustic mountain]

I think in the next 5 years the NBA expands

[short flame]

You gotta be the top sport in North America

[celest zephyr]

They will at some point this decade

[rustic mountain]

Or at least announces the plans to

[celest zephyr]

Like 30 is just weird

[rustic mountain]

There's no way in hell Silver looks at the money and Vegas and goes "no I am good"

[celest zephyr]

Vegas and Seattle easy

Move minny to the east

[weak gull]

I can see the nfl going south again tbh…maybe okc but that’s not south to me

That’s Great Plains type shit

[celest zephyr]

Come to Canada if they expand

[rustic mountain]

Oklahoma is south to me

But I am also

[celest zephyr]

I swear if the nfl expands further and doesn’t come up north

[rustic mountain]

In fucking Washington

[short flame]

Canada have their own sport

[weak gull]

I don’t think they’d have an option

[rustic mountain]

One of the furthest North states tbere is

There

[celest zephyr]

CFL? Come on its trash

[rustic mountain]

They won't go into Canada

The only option would be Toronto

[weak gull]

NFL would definitely go to Canada imo

[celest zephyr]

They for sure will if they go beyond 32

[short flame]

I could see them going Toronto but no further

[weak gull]

Have to if they do

[celest zephyr]

Yeh Toronto or Vancouver for me

[rustic mountain]

If they go into Canada, that's my team

Saying it rn

Just like if the Sonics come back

[celest zephyr]

Maybe Montreal but that’d be bold

[rustic mountain]

They would be my basketball team

[weak gull]

After St. Louis, anything is possible for the nfl in my eyes

[celest zephyr]

Just move the chargers to Edmonton

[weak gull]

But st Louis should def have a spot

[celest zephyr]

Might actually work out better there

[rustic mountain]

Alberta would kill for an American football team

At least Calgary would

Think about it, cowboy shit, bull riding, pure blooded farm life

Add in American football??

[weak gull]

NFL for sure would go Toronto default

[rustic mountain]

Fuck you're basically American besides the fact your government's flag has a leaf on it

not that it's that different now in a lot of the Praries

[dim kettle]

Leaked Sab photo:

[rustic mountain]

Damn there is even a god damn music clef right there

I've been outed

[short flame]

That’s really you

Who else would put that on their arm

[rustic mountain]

I guess I haven't ragged on the Leafs hard enough

People think I beleaf still

[celest zephyr]

Bruh is this real? Danggg

Better manifest the leafs

[short flame]

I know you don’t

Which is unfortunate

[celest zephyr]

Also you were right siren lol

[rustic mountain]

My anger at the leafs is very high

They've done a lot of things

To piss me off

[celest zephyr]

Magic won the first overall pick and then the leafs won a round

Hahhhaaha

[short flame]

I thought you had done good from an outsider perspective

[rustic mountain]

Tbh the playoff shit hurt but like

That isn't why I am angry

It's the fact Leafs players were throwing each other under the bus, it's Shanahan FIRING DUBAS.?? It's hiring Treliving, it's saying no core 4 will move, it's extending Sheldon Keefe

This is the shit that makes me angry

Imo the Leafs got worse by a lot by doing what They've done

[dim kettle]

Reminder, Brad Treliving is your GM now. with superstars asking for extensions. I can tell you right now. I dealt with the drama of Johnny Hockey and Matthew Tkachuk. You better hope Brad learnt from that mess last season.

Although, I still would love to have William Nylander

[rustic mountain]

And he won't have. Shanahan will tell him what to do

And we will be good enough to get to the playoffs but fucking outta no where Columbus or Montreal will come up and smack us in the mouth

Or we get a 3 -1 lead on someone like Boston and we shit our pants

Then everyone will hum and hah and Matthews fucks off to Chicago to play with Bedard while Marner gets a big deal from us to save face

It's like you said Siren, the Canadian teams are stuck in old hockey ways

But god damn I aint leaving the Leafs or the Oilers lmao

[short flame]

I didn’t get the Dubas thing either. I think the team needs to keep what’s good and reinforce. There’s potential right there, this team is as good as it’s been in decades

[dim kettle]

In the Flames and Jets case. It's "we're allergic to the word 'rebuild'."

[short flame]

What about my canucks?

[dim kettle]

Canucks are a tire fire

[short flame]

Is that a good thing?

[dim kettle]

It means shitshow

[weak gull]

You sure know how to pick teams San Juan

[rustic mountain]

Hey at least the Sabres might do something this year

Idk what that something is

But it'll be something

[dim kettle]

Sabres likely will.

Will it win cups? We'll see.

[rustic mountain]

You know what that is the Leafs down fall

The Sabres get in as like a 5 or something right

They play the Leafs in round 2

[weak gull]

Being the leafs

[rustic mountain]

4-0 sweep Sabres

[dim kettle]

BTW 1-0 Knights

[rustic mountain]

GO KNIGHTS BABY YEAH

[weak gull]

Ew

[rustic mountain]

I hate the Knights but I hate Matthew Tkachuk so much more

My Matthew Tkachuk hate is reach Peyton Manning levels of salt man

And I loathed Peyton Manning

[dim kettle]

Fine. I'll get you that Tkachuk jersey.

[weak gull]

I loved Peyton manning too lol

[rustic mountain]

Fucking why

[celest zephyr]

Trev hasn’t committed to anything tbf

[weak gull]

I respected everything he did as a QB

[celest zephyr]

So we don’t know if he’ll make any moves or not

Going to have to see what he does

[rustic mountain]

Ah I shouldnt ask that. Everyone that wasnt a pats fan loved Manning

[weak gull]

Dominant calling his own plays damn near

[celest zephyr]

I don’t like manning

[dim kettle]

I didn't like Peyton for how the media would excuse every choke he had in the playoffs.

[celest zephyr]

Ngl i like Brady more

Brees cool also

[rustic mountain]

The media was obsessed with Manning I swear

[dim kettle]

They were.

[celest zephyr]

Same with Rodgers

But both guys can’t get it done in the playoffs

[rustic mountain]

Growing up with Brady v Manning and every year the media riding Manning so hard it was no wonder every team he played for had a horse mascot

[short flame]

I only pick peak. No but really I want to witness history being made so I already start by refusing teams that have already won a cup

[dim kettle]

They'd say Peyton was this master general. But the media would blame the OCs if Peyton choked. But Peyton is suppose to be the general of the offense, right?

[celest zephyr]

Every year people riding mahomes so hard rn

[weak gull]

Manning choked a lot yes but his defense was so butt in Indy

[short flame]

Score a bunch of goals then collapse?

[weak gull]

Peyton was a master general in the sense of the term. Nobody could call plays like him

Not perfect of course but he got busy with the calls

[short flame]

That would be funny

[celest zephyr]

They will

I believe

Over the isles

[rustic mountain]

Oh absolutely

Too bad it lead to his own downfall 85% of the time

[weak gull]

And that’s why I loved him

Eh, his defense did more against him than anything

Jeraud Powers was the number one corner

[dim kettle]

My favorite and I've said it countless times. It was right after Peyton choked against his former team in the 2014 playoffs. And you have Adam saying a day after the game that Peyton was playing with a torn rectus femoris. Like BS like that is why I was glad when Peyton retired. If the injury was such a problem then why wasn't it mentioned before the game and the weeks before the season ended? just excuses.

[short flame]

I don’t know if we’re ready, we still need defenders and hullebuyck

[rustic mountain]

my favorite non pats sb wins were the Saints in 09. Peyton Manning losing a sb in 2013 to the Seahawks was also muah

[weak gull]

I try not to let the media influence my liking of a qb because we will likely not see someone play the game like Peyton for a while

And it was a great thing to see

[dim kettle]

Peyton was a problem in that game too. That ball doesn't go over his head if Peyton wasn't trying to be such a perfectionist trying to change the play.

[rustic mountain]

The media was not the main reason I hated Peyton Manning

I was a pats fan in the height of Brady v Manning

[weak gull]

Was addressing shadow and the media coverage I know why you hate him lol

[rustic mountain]

Oh lol

I was gonna say trust me the media just feuled a fire that was stoked the moment that asshat walked into Foxborough

[weak gull]

Wait? We blaming the qb for a bad snap? Cmon now

[dim kettle]

The bad snap happened because Peyton kept trying to change the play with so little time left on the snap clock

[weak gull]

Doesn’t matter, a center should snap the ball correctly. Line change or not

[dim kettle]

The snap happened because he got confused. And you know why that is.

[weak gull]

Lol, that does not excuse snapping the ball over a head

My center and any o line coach ever would never have blamed me for a bad snap

[dim kettle]

It was lack of communication which, yes, a lot of the blame also goes on Peyton.

[weak gull]

No, communication should not diminish your ability to deliver an accurate snap unless you went from under center to gun

And even then it’s a stretch

If anything it goes low

Not high

[dim kettle]

The snap was early. Clearly he thought Peyton was gonna hike the ball. You can see it.

[weak gull]

HE THOUGHT, that’s on him. There is a sign to give your qb if you are confused as a center

The accuracy of your snap in that manner is on the center

[dim kettle]

Vinny, Peyton clearly looked like he was gonna hike the ball and then quickly tried to the change the play and it was too late. Both guys are to blame. Period

[weak gull]

No, lol

[rustic mountain]

HELL YEAH VEGAS GOAL

BOB HAS BEEN SOLVED

https://tenor.com/view/wedding-crasher-hro-gif-25636997

[dim kettle]

Watch Peyton's hand before he moves forward.

[weak gull]

You want to blame Peyton for it and now saying both. Neither is the case to me. As a center your job is to snap the ball according to your qb. Period

If Peyton didn’t go forward that ball still flies over his head. Peyton stepped with his right leg, did not raise. The center misread the movement

[smoky fable]

The noise the seattle fans brought did not help

[weak gull]

Manny Ramirez is an idiot for sayin that was Peyton’s fault too, and he got pegged on twitter for that

[dim kettle]

Peyton doing all the hand signals with also that crowd noise. Manny Ramirez should get some fault put the bottom line is Peyton shouldn't have been doing that shit on the first play at all.

[weak gull]

One can say Peyton shouldn’t have gone for the audible, but Peyton wasn’t catching that ball even at normal distance

Maybe wemby would have

[dim kettle]

But besides that play. I'm always gonna look at Peyton. As chokes and excuses.

[weak gull]

To me, you follow your qb. Period. Yes, tough spot for manny to be in. Peyton could do better, but nothing there signals snap unless there is a silent count, but I’m not registering that at all.

And yes, Peyton’s a choker. I never disagreed

The saints bowl 100% said that to me

[dim kettle]

Oh i'm not saying that part directly at you. I was saying in general.

[weak gull]

All good

Peyton got lucky to play fucking Rex Grossman of all QBs for a bowl

[dim kettle]

He got lucky that NE blew a lead and that the Chargers blew a game before that.

[weak gull]

Peyton would be a better OC than QB imo, but he’d need to put his perfectionist attitude aside

[proud coyote]

they really lost to the chargers in the playoffs two years in a row

[dim kettle]

Peyton worst enemy next to Brady was Rivers and LT

[proud coyote]

so you're saying he'd be that good of an OC? damn

[weak gull]

He was 10-4 vs the chargers tho

[dim kettle]

In the regular season.

[weak gull]

I genuinely do if he didn’t have that perfectionist attitude

Eh, 1-2

[dim kettle]

Same Colts team that didn't lose a game in November or December and lost to a 8-8 Bolts team in the playoffs

[weak gull]

Not great but I don’t think they were an enemy fr

Peyton was his own worst enemy if anything

[dim kettle]

He was.

Every time he'd panic just throws the ball deep to be knocked down or picked.

[weak gull]

https://youtu.be/GQrZKveWgOk

My favorite vid of all time

Favorite play of all time

This was so fucking elite I couldn’t even describe it right

[dim kettle]

That 2012 playoff game against the Ravens. People love talking about Flacco bombing it away to victory. Fucking Peyton tries it and get's picked every time.

[weak gull]

2012? That would be luck

[dim kettle]

I'm talking about the Bronco game

[rustic mountain]

The biggest disappointment ever was Bill never having Ed Reed.-.

[weak gull]

Oh yeah my bad

Fucking losing it

[weak gull]

Not a disappointment

At all

One bit

[rustic mountain]

Not for you no

[dim kettle]

Ed Reed former Hurricane legend.

[rustic mountain]

But Ed Reed in your system at that time woulda been like putting a badass engine in a rusted out truck

But in ours it woulda super charged our defense

[dim kettle]

This play still amazes me over 15 years later
https://youtu.be/Ha_a3zL0Hes

[weak gull]

I get Peyton made mistakes, but he won them that game….

Rahim Moore SOLD

[rustic mountain]

I also say this full well knowing we are fucking garbage now

[weak gull]

Deeper than the deepest man. Number 1 fucking rule in that position

[smoky fable]

He really did

Were the Ravens an underdog against the Patriots in the championship game?

Don’t remember

[weak gull]

In our system? I ain’t even say nothing bout the lions. He was an elite raven and should’ve played his whole career there

[rustic mountain]

3-0 VEGASSSSS

[weak gull]

In 2011 or 12?

[rustic mountain]

Yeh sorry I misread then was petty. I admit that

My bad

Trying to work on that

[weak gull]

Pats favored in 11 and 12 @smoky fable

AG Sab

[rustic mountain]

We were lucky in 11

Billy Cundiff never has to buy a beer in Boston

[weak gull]

Lee Evans too

[rustic mountain]

So that makes 8 goals in 2 games against Bob. Life is good for Florida Downfall enjoyers

[dim kettle]

I didn't look at the Ravens being underdogs those playoffs personally. Esspecially NE. The Ravens were a TD catch away from facing the Giants in the SB the year before.

[weak gull]

Completely agree

[rustic mountain]

The Ravens weren't really ever underdogs against us

Just not the favored team if that makes sense

[weak gull]

Pats favored in both but Flacco had the greatest playoffs I’ve ever seen in 2012

[rustic mountain]

Then fell off the face of the earth

But a ring is a ring

[weak gull]

Was mid after. He was always elite in playoffs and mid in reg

[dim kettle]

The ACL tear happened, with the fact the game changed at the QB position since 2012. He was just the right QB at the right time I guess

[weak gull]

Playoff Flacco > Playoff Peyton

[rustic mountain]

I remember in 2013 the next year. The Ravens played Denver and Denver shredded them it was nuts

Vinny

I agree

Entirely

[dim kettle]

That was the 7 TD game. I really felt bad for Raider and Charger fans during that Manning era in Denver. Seemed like Peyton would take his anger out on Oakland most years.

[rustic mountain]

4!!!!!

Also, 100% wanted to say, @dim kettle you were arguing with a biased entity on the center thing. Just letting that be known as I played QB/CB but no hard feelings

[weak gull]

Can’t believe you doing this rn😭

[rustic mountain]

Vinny, the Matthew Tkachuk downfall arc is what I was waiting for

[dim kettle]

Completely fine with me, man. I don't take these discussions too seriously to effect me. Just usual sports talk to me.

[rustic mountain]

This is the best arc in the NHL manga

[weak gull]

This arc fucking sucks

[dim kettle]

The ending is the best part. Sanjuan seeing his guy win the cup.

[short flame]

[rustic mountain]

Jack Eichel looking real close to that cup

[celest zephyr]

Wooooooooooo tkachuk done for

Lovely days

[short flame]

Like I promised if that happens I’ll gift my sabres jersey

[rustic mountain]

Seeing Florida fail is like vitamins for my body

And now Florida showing their true colors

[dim kettle]

On a side note, if Tkachuk doesn't win the cup, I don't have to hear Sportsnet shit on the Flames much because of the trade.

[rustic mountain]

They start losing, they start throwing tantrums

[celest zephyr]

Hey just like Boston

[rustic mountain]

They act like rats so it fits

[celest zephyr]

Come on Sabres knock these salty fucks out of the playoffs next time eh

[short flame]

Oh yeah but when eichel throws a tantrum he’s viewed like a hero

[rustic mountain]

I wouldn't say that

[weak gull]

Fuck both these teams

[rustic mountain]

I just don't see him doing it

[celest zephyr]

Nah i think he’s a fool also

I don’t like Eichel

[rustic mountain]

I see Florida do bullshit every game

[dim kettle]

The Rats did the same thing to the Bolts the last few years. Tampa took control of the series and the Panthers started cheapshoting star players.

[short flame]

I don’t give a shit for next season if that guy wins a cup

[rustic mountain]

That's what the Panthers have done nearly every game this playoffs that anyone gives them a challenge

[short flame]

Can they cheap shot eichel

[rustic mountain]

Just turns out no one is giving them a challenge

After a Reaves headshot on Tyler Motte, the #VegasBorn bench:

"What?"
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
"Completely clean hit!"
"Way to put your head back!"

To Virtanen: "Fucking Patrick Maroon, you're so fucking fat."

Very Golden Knights-y performance as Motte is helped off.

Former Ranger players winning a cup. A tale as old as time itself.

Didn’t happen in 2018 🥲

One year of salvation

[dim kettle]

Funny though, Howden was drafted by Tampa

[proud coyote]

He has Tommy John so it should be alright there

It’s not like a normal injury

[robust grotto]

Yes he was on the Mac deal

Tommy John they switch a ligament around and it’s like as strong as it was

[dim ledge]

There’s winning clubs and development clubs. Those star players have to develop somewhere

Rangers are indeed best farm system for the Lightning.

Say it with me everyone: Matthew Tkachuk is a rat bastard!

giannis im sure could have been a killer goalie if he had the reaction time

we've never had like, a gigantic athletic goalie like that have we?

[sweet tree]

tibo

is

wsll

Every big hit isn't a dirty hit. An example is the one Matthew Tkachuk put on Jack Eichel. Eichel had the puck and lost his footing right before. You might not like it (or you love it), but it was legal.

Twitter · Jun 6, 2023, 2:06 AM

tibo has a 203 cm wingspan, giannis has a 225 cm one

there's a 6'11 goalie in like level 7 english football apparently lol

He got penalized

He got penalized. But clearly rn it's mixed thoughts around.

Not penalized

He ain’t a great guy by any means but it wasn’t insane to me

[rustic mountain]

It's Matthew Tkachuk. He would make purely fallen snow dirty

[short flame]

We don’t need no diva who thinks they’re more important than the rest of the team

I don't think Eichel did think that

[short flame]

We have right now

[dim kettle]

Talking pre this era

[dim ledge]

"Hey Buffalo I think this is the surgery I need, I want it fully fixed rather than temporarily"
"Nah"

[rustic mountain]

I think Eichel and Reinhardt got pissed at the way Buffalo handled their medical stuff

[dim ledge]

But yea he was full of himself

[short flame]

He did. He acted like he was better than everyone else and the management allowed it. They treated him like a god and he thanked us by making us look bad

[dim kettle]

I remember Ryan Miller. Was a top 5 goaltender for many years.

[dim ledge]

I remember when Jack Eichel said "I'm gonna Eichel all over this team" and then proceeded to Eichel everywhere. Truly a moment in sabres history

[rustic mountain]

From the articles I've read and stuff it just didn't look like that was what was happening

I wasn't watching the Sabres sure

But it didn't look like that was the case

[dim ledge]

Because it wasn't lol

Tldr

Eichel was the #1 player there and the surgery he wanted would've had him out for a significant chunk of time. We're talking, full season time. Sabres didn't want their star player and #1 producer out that long so they kept pushing the temporary fix surgery rather than the full fix/replacement. Basically Sab, imagine if Purdy was 10x the star he is in terms of status, he gets injured, and SF wants to do the temporary surgery rather than full on Tommy Johns.

[short flame]

The doctor didn’t approve the surgery because it was viewed as dangerous. We didn’t want to risk his life. He still wanted it so we allowed him to move away for way less than he was worth and he thanked us by making us look like we were bad guys and celebrating goals to our face. That for me is unacceptable, you don’t celebrate against your old team, have some shame

[dim ledge]

risk his life

It's not his heart. The team doctors found excuses as told to them by the organisation so they could prevent him for going for the full surgery

If it was so dangerous, the second opinion wouldn't have recommended it.

[short flame]

It was an experimental surgery. You really want us to go around the back of our medical expert and risk getting into a tragedy and legal issue?

[dim ledge]

An experimental surgery would imply its never been done

That isn't the case

[rustic mountain]

That's closer to what I've read

Reinhardt of the Panthers was really pissed at how Buffalo doctors treated him as well

[dim ledge]

When a player is telling your team physios "hey I am in full mental capacity and I want this surgery, not what you're recommending" , legality goes into the bin. He's asking for it, he knows what he wants, he's an adult

You're acting as if they're implanting a new brain into him

[celest zephyr]

Purdy starting eh?

Well who wants lance then

Might as well trade him

[dim ledge]

Lance stays

[short flame]

I fully support our medical staff, they’re professionals and have done wonders. Maybe they made mistakes but it’s not a reason to treat the club as if we’re monsters and insult the fans who had nothing to do with the decision of the club. He’s a smug prick

[dim kettle]

Gotta understand the context of the situation. The Sabres were and quite frankly still are a poorly run mess at the top. Only getting lucky to run into a GM that can draft good. Pretty much in spite of the Pegulas as owners. Eichel was gonna leave one way or another when he did.

[celest zephyr]

Nah if he can’t start he’s gone and I’m finally freed of hearing about him

Kinda wish he’d get traded already

So we can just focus on the guys we know can ball

[dim kettle]

Honestly, I still can't be on the side of getting angry at Eichel. Sabres got return back from him leaving. While the Isles got nothing for Tavares walking. My Flames got nothing for Johnny Hockey walking.

[celest zephyr]

Purdy can throw the ball well just stick with it

[short flame]

As a professional athlete your health is the concern of the club and if your doctor tells you to follow a surgery and it backfires which thankfully it didn’t, you’re going to blame them

[celest zephyr]

Get some bench warmer behind him and darnold

[dim ledge]

As a human my health is the concern of myself and no matter what organisation I work for I am looking out for myself

Eichel knows what he needed better than the team does, sorry.

[short flame]

Then why do the players love the pegulas and what they’ve done for the community. Terry may not be the most competent owner but he cares about our club

[dim kettle]

As he puts Sabre legends in cheap chinese knock off jerseys and has his wife in charge of hockey operations.

[dim ledge]

Because any club can host events and do community outreach. That doesn't mean they're not run like shit.

Fucking

[short flame]

We’re mad because he treated us like trash while we praised him for years. If he had gone quietly there wouldn’t have been a problem

[dim ledge]

Pablo Escobar was loved by his home community and did community outreach, built homes etc (which to be fair I commend him for). Does that suddenly mean he wasn't a drug lord?

Having supporters and yes men doesn't mean you aren't running something poorly

[robust grotto]

6-1

[rustic mountain]

Knowing the context of Eichel's situation, I would be pissed at Buffalo too

[dim ledge]

Told tall. Vegas has too much

[rustic mountain]

We love to see it

[dim ledge]

It's the physicality

You literally see this in every east west matchup

[short flame]

I’m not saying he shouldn’t do the surgery. He should if he believes it’s the right thing despite the recommendations of the club. Just not as a sabres player

[dim ledge]

Panthers faced almost no physicality throughout the playoffs

[rustic mountain]

Nope. They didn't

Fucking Leafs.

[dim ledge]

Yea that's what he did so now I'm failing to see your issue at all

You don't get to say "he can do the surgery but not as a sabres player" then get mad at him for leaving the sabres who wouldn't pay for his procedure

Like?

[robust grotto]

No one is biting back on them more than Vegas , for sure

[dim ledge]

Bro

This investment in Eichel for Vegas rn

[robust grotto]

[short flame]

Why are you comparing a hockey club owner to a tyrant that ruined the lives of thousands of people from my country. He’s a scumbag that I hope rots in hell for eternity, don’t compare him to Terry

Even then, I think a lot of Sabres fans understood Jack's predicament

[celest zephyr]

Hahhahahahaahhaaha

[robust grotto]

Yeah honestly the Eichel deal has become the rare win-win

Lopsided to VGK ofc

[celest zephyr]

1 cup in the last 20 years

[dim ledge]

What I mean is, just because people support him, doesn't mean that he's suddenly the best owner in the league or that he's free of criticisms

[celest zephyr]

Man give up

[robust grotto]

But Buffalo did win in the deal

[dim ledge]

The Audi cup

[celest zephyr]

Omg Snyder did something for the community!!!! Clearly he’s a good owner

[dim kettle]

Like I said, the Sabres got return back for Eichel. Flames didn't get any for Johnny Hockey leaving for Ohio

[robust grotto]

That’s it

[dim ledge]

Yeah flames are fucked

[robust grotto]

At least that’s the one saving grace

Flames though I felt did the right thing last year

[dim ledge]

Flames are fucked so bad I'm reading it in bubbles' voice

[robust grotto]

And they did the right thing traded Tkachuk even if they’ll always lose that deal lol

[celest zephyr]

Im not mad that he left. I was happy for him when he did. I’m mad that after he left all he did was act like we were bad guys when we did what’s best in the situation

[dim ledge]

But you didn't

You did what was best for the organisation

If an organisation wants to succeed they need to care about their players

What they did was completely anti player

[dim kettle]

In many ways, the Sabres are the bad guys.

[robust grotto]

Yeah ultimately the Buffalo organization wasn’t comfortable with the surgery

[dim ledge]

Imagine if a company had a star secretary who was asking for her maternity leave and they only gave her a month rather than the full because of how important she was to the company. Is she suddenly the bad guy for wanting her full time off?

[short flame]

I get what you meant but it’s just very poorly chosen words. I have been personally affected by the atrocities of the Medellin cartel

[dim ledge]

Yeah I'll cop to that

Bad example

Apologies

[robust grotto]

I’m having a hard time for analogies myself but

[dim kettle]

Let's face it, that Sabres rant around that 2019-2021 period didn't just come out of thin air. Like that was the state of the organization at that point. And you know, we're talking about how good they've been, so much talent. Let me just ask one thing. What's the odds the Eichel situation happens again?

[dim ledge]

Unlikely imo

[robust grotto]

Yeah basically no current athlete playing an impact sport had gotten that replacement surgery prior to Eichel

[celest zephyr]

A guy leaving? Yeah

Something like that or kawhi Leonard? Almost zero

[dim kettle]

Doesn't even have to be as extreme as Eichel's case. But something that would cause a player to ask for a trade.

Just looking at the Commanders. They found many ways through their terrible doctors, and front office for players and coaches to not want to be there. Now the Sabres owners aren't close to the terrible people as Dan Snyder is, but they have a person who doesn't know hockey running the hockey operations.

[dim ledge]

Trust sanjuan

Diaz isn't going anywhere

That LW spot is his

[short flame]

Then why are you saying he’d not untouchable

[short flame]

Our doctors aren’t terrible. They are conservative and made a mistake but they’re not being corrupted by the owner or whatever conspiracy people want to believe

[dim ledge]

Diaz is great but unlike Klopp he isn't top 3 in the world at what he does. That's also why I mention Alisson, for my money he's either the best in the world or second best

And even then I think Alisson would be "touchable"

What Klopp has done for LFC and frankly Liverpool as a city

Nobody can replace that

You’re learning French

[dim kettle]

Excuse your french

[short flame]

Well done sab

[celest zephyr]

Dang astros pummeled the jays today

[rustic mountain]

As expected

[rustic mountain]

Merci beaucoup (my French is very rudimentary)

[celest zephyr]

Sab going to become a true Canadian

[dim kettle]

He used Google Translate

[dim ledge]

Quebecois
French

[rustic mountain]

No I actually knew those ones lmao

Hey now

[celest zephyr]

Sab using Google to find the most common French phrases

[rustic mountain]

I am offended on my girlfriend's grandfather's behalf

[celest zephyr]

[dim ledge]

Are you? I thought you hated the French and would prefer Québécois to be stratified from them

But okay, if you wish...

Magic

[rustic mountain]

Tbh I hate the French language police shit

That annoys me to no end

[celest zephyr]

How does someone give up 6 runs in one third of an inning

Manoah is an absolute bum

[rustic mountain]

If it was Alek

Yep

[dim kettle]

Baseball is weird. Anything can happen in baseball

[rustic mountain]

The Jays are just fine with taking automatic L's

[dim ledge]

Eh, as elitist as it is, there's a degree of validity to it. So it goes when you're a colonial power and spread your language while also offering shit education

Dialects be dialects

[celest zephyr]

Okay but that’s some pathetic ass performance

[dim ledge]

I can't understand Pontic Greek for shit

[celest zephyr]

Gave up 5 runs in the last 8 2/3 innings

[dim ledge]

Cypriot Greek, I can

[short flame]

Not bad

[celest zephyr]

Manoah gave up more runs in 1/3 than the rest of the team

[dim kettle]

Baseball is a long season. Its all about how well a pitcher does in a month to month bases.

[celest zephyr]

Manoah has been trash all season long

Dude needs to learn how to pitch

[dim kettle]

Well, most Jay pitchers are mid tier

[celest zephyr]

I’d be happy if Manoah was mid

[rustic mountain]

Gaus and Bassit are good

[celest zephyr]

And not a dumpster fire

[short flame]

What do you mean by that?

[rustic mountain]

Kikuchi is serviceable

[dim kettle]

I have high standards for pitchers since the Rays are masters of pitching. So even Gaus looks off for me sometimes

[rustic mountain]

The cars that go around and fine businesses for not being french enough

He literally is the AL strikeout leader

Or was a day or so ago

[dim kettle]

You know Phillies games are broadcast here. And OMG, they probably have some of the worst starting pitching/bullpen arms in the NL at least.

[weak gull]

False, that would be me

[short flame]

Oh yeah those are wrong. But there’s a reason for that because foreigners come and don’t even try to talk the language. We just want a minimal effort

[robust grotto]

There’s no Canada like French Canada???

[rustic mountain]

Holy shit vinny is Kevin Gausman

[short flame]

The best Canada there is

[dim kettle]

I would argue that, but then a ball hits a ump and that's a lost for the Tigers.

[dim ledge]

Bring back da expos

[robust grotto]

I do wanna visit during the warm months

[weak gull]

Will be me*

Tigers flying me back home rn

[rustic mountain]

I mean I get it but at the same time it feels awful and elitist and it is so different than the rest of Canada

[weak gull]

I am going to save my franchise

You all should do the same

[dim kettle]

Just too bad Gaus only has 4 wins so far.

[weak gull]

The rangers I’m sure could use you @robust grotto

[rustic mountain]

My hair is long enough. I'll be the long hair brother of Gaus

It's so hilarious and Flamingos are a top 2 favorite animal for me

[weak gull]

What’s 1

[short flame]

Think about it. We go to Toronto and ask for something in French and they will be confused. People come here and expect us to speak English when a big part of the population can’t. We don’t ask you to learn French just don’t come acting like people will all magically know English perfectly

[rustic mountain]

I mean again. I get it.

But Quebec is part of Canada yet acts like it isn't at all

And fining businesses for signs not being French enough is asinine

[rustic mountain]

https://tenor.com/view/tiger-king-gif-26417729

[short flame]

Yeah I agree with that part

[short flame]

And Canada acts like we’re not part of it a lot of time. They signed the constitution without telling us

BTW. The Cats are now 0-6 in the Finals

[robust grotto]

Not great

4-6 would be a story though

[dim kettle]

Reverse Sweep in the Finals. Now that would be a storyline the NHL will never STFU about.

[celest zephyr]

No 0-8 is better

[robust grotto]

Reverse finals sweep, game 6 in Florida… overtime and he who shall not be named buries it

[celest zephyr]

Reverse would be going down 0-3

Then winning 4 in a row

[robust grotto]

[sweet tree]

I don't really expect much from spurs so who knows, probably gets sacked near the end of the season

if they're doing really bad than maybe December lol but yeah not sure

don't got a clue who the guy is, apparently managed celtics but that doesn't mean anything to me

wonder why spurs signed him

[short flame]

It’s spurs

They saw a guy win a trophy at Celtic

[sweet tree]

just get poch back honestly

[short flame]

And they thought to sign him

[short flame]

Isn’t he at Chelsea?

[sweet tree]
