That is why all teams should make the playoffs.You should not be rewarded for not trying to win. We want competitive games. San Jose, Anaheim, Arizona have stopped even trying to win since mid March, it is bullshit.
that is not an argument I would make but the entire purpose of tanking would go away if all teams out of the post season had the same chance. I also read one view once, might have been here, where the better odds would go to the teams that barely missed that would force teams to try and win. I get that the entire raison d' etre of drafts is to bring all teams to the middle, parity is the goal of all commissioners, but by giving teams extra balls for losing, you actually hurt the product.That is why all teams should make the playoffs.
Fair priceI got tickets to Game 1 in Edmonton for $154 each this morning. I paid $135 to watch the Habs play a meaningless game against the Blues at the Bell Centre a couple of months ago. Can't imagine them being much cheaper than that.
Moot point now in any event since Sutter screwed the pooch last night.
that is true but he is also a bitch when hit, will got nuts, elbow you in the head etc. I know in 1993, 99 was near the end of the line but after game 1, we laid the body on him a bit more and took over the series. You will not get many looks at McNopersonality but even in a scrum, give him a facewash, a stick to the ankle, and when you have a shot, a hit.
btw do you remember this one from when you watched Leaf games?
I guess nobody saw this coming.
Wehave will say that four team tournament is meaningless as only one team will win and the other three will have had wasted seasons,,,So halfway through tonight's must-win game against possibly the worst team in the league, Pittsburgh just went down 1-0.
A four team tournament between Bawstun, Toronto, Tampa Bay & Carolina, please. Rest of the teams can go on vacation.
Love it. Comments Are stupid, she puts it in his face then resists the cuffs. Love it when Karen's get theirs.
Nightmare scenario for both teams.Pittsburgh ties it 5 minutes into the third, aaaaaand Chicago ties it halfway through------
And just as I type that, Chicago makes it 3-1.
laugh out loud
87 acting like a bitch on the empty net goalPittsburgh looks so bad, man. No confidence, bad passes, bad chemistry, just a bad team overall.
They aren't out yet. If the Habs get stupid and win tomorrow the Pens could sneak in.71 and 87 out of the playoffs will be awesome to see
Izlanders won't cough it up nowThey aren't out yet. If the Habs get stupid and win tomorrow the Pens could sneak in.
