Re: The NHL Thread
 

have you been spying on me?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Well, I've been spying on The Phil, so yeah, that kinda includes you by association. I admire your diligence. Always ready with a dawg, always watching The Phil's mouth, just waiting for it to open in invitation.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol

Phil is now spoiled because he will only eat hot dogs boiled in the Stanley Cup.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yea the organization actually made a SC ring for me as i was an integral part of keeping the Phil fat and happy

and instead of mustard he uses Ovechkin tears...delicious

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Did you guys see Hjalmarsson schooling Erik Karlsson?

I wasn't planning on being all boned-up at work today, but here we are.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

They did just win a cup man! :lol

Can hot dogs be given via an IV?

Wow, that looked like Crosby or Kane skating past someone wearing air jordan's instead of skated!

Re: The NHL Thread
 

yea that's kinda my point

they just played 106 games in a season that ended <3 months ago

now playing in a meaningless tournament with a new season 34 days away

don't like it

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Would you prefer the debates dominated TV? :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

there are pennant chases in baseball, college football and NFL football in the meantime

that's plenty of entertainment until NHL starts for me

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Sorry your pens took too long to win the cup! :lol

As for the other sports - I am excited to see how the Raiders do this season, first time in a while for that too. Yankees will likely let me down but it should be interesting to watch anyhow. As for college football, was never really a fan.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

NFL for me is just Sunday, don't watch much outside of that. College football I keep tabs on but don't watch it anymore. My alma mater is terrible and I don't give a shit about anyone else. I'll probably watch the UM vs MSU and UM vs OSU and that's about it.

Wings if they make the playoffs probably won't go deep so a few extra weeks of meaningful hockey is great for me. Not sure how much I'll watch but I'll try.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Tim - MSU/ND game and then MSU/Wisco game the next week will be good.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol :lol pennant chases :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Good point, those will probably be on as well. In-laws went to State so I have a pulling towards them BUT my sister and brother in-law did and I hate him so it's fun to watch him squirm when they lose but then I feel bad for my in-laws. It's really tough emotionally on me. lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:confused

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol Fair.

But always - fuck Notre Dame.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Big weekend for the Tigers. 1 game back of the Orioles for the WC and they play each other this weekend.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That is true. And I fucking hate Brian Kelly. Most people don't know, the little bastard accepted the job at EMU back in 2003 and then withdrew the next day. Many of us who worked in the athletic department at EMU pretty sure there was a deal done behind the scenes. So he can fuck himself.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I was implying that baseball sucks, obviously. Just a joke though. I mean I can't stand the sport but I know most of y'all love it.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol fair enough

thought you'd be all over the Nats this year

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Fuck no. If anything I'm an Orioles guy. I at least thought I kind of liked baseball when I was a kid. The Nats didn't exist then. The O's were my team. Honestly I'm so out of touch with MLB, I don't even know if the Nats were good this year. Or the O's for that matter, but Tim just informed us they're apparently in the wild card race.

And that's the most I've talked about baseball in probably a decade.

Flyers people. Enjoy. This is as close as y'all will come to a Cup this season.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

:lol Red Wings, Caps and Preds.

That's so bad. They should run the sim 100 times or something and take the averages.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

Just flipped to the US Canada exhibition game. If I was an NHL owner/GM I'd be getting ulcers. These guys are playing with pointless intensity.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

would you rather it be a stupid all-star game?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

At least no one takes that seriously, and it's only one game. This is a month long tournament, and guys are going all out, even in these meaningless prelims. Did you see that hit Kesler laid on Weber? Busch League.

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That was a bad hit, but it was great to see the physical play USA brought against Canada. Maybe Torts isn't so bad after all :lol :lol :lol

Re: The NHL Thread
 

If we were the Caps we would be printing the banners already

Re: The NHL Thread
 

I just realized this. Can someone help me with why theres a NA, Canada and USA team?

Re: The NHL Thread
 

That's the best part about Caps fandom. No matter what, we always earn at least one banner every season. No one else gets that. Why root for anyone else?
