  2. Gone, But Not Forgotten

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    Haha anything we did before the coaching change shall henceforth be stricken from the record. I'm coming to Philly for the game tonight. Even have an extra ticket. Anybody interested? Only $30

    If I wasn't sick I'd probably take you up on the offer.

    The only Pens - Flyers game I went to at the Wachovia Center, the dude in front of me was wearing a Crosby jersey and was very animated when the Penguins scored. This was my first experience with Philadelphia sports fans... as the treatment they gave that guy was probably one step below how Jack Bauer would treat Osama Bin Laden. Lucky for that guy, the Penguins won like 8-1 or something crazy like that, and most of the Flyers fans were gone in the 3rd period. At one point the fans even resorted to quacking like the Mighty Ducks!

  4. NHL Refs Getting worse?

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    I think this post is a good example of the shortsightedness of today's media and those that follow sports. With 24 hours sports news and dozens of cameras at every professional sporting event, referees are just under a larger microscope than before.

    I am wondering if people can conjure up some memories of bad calls prior to the modern era to off-set this argument? Though not a specific example, I can remember watching the Steelers in the mid 90s where it seemed pass-interference calls were the cheapest way for offenses to advance the ball late in the game. I do remember "the coin-toss" Thanksgiving 1999 when the Lions and Steelers went to overtime, Jerome Bettis called tails and the referee misheard him and put his call in as heads. Lions get ball, win game. Classic.

    Just found this website: http://espn.go.com/page2/s/list/worstcalls/010730.html

  10. Not ONE NHLPA 93 hack with a crease or center ice logo. WHY?

    in General Questions & Discussion

    Posted

    But you insulted me first!

    Anyway working with TLP is not easy for the average guy like me but a lot of the super-geeks with thick glasses on this forum seem to think it is. Then they put down people who don't have a clue how to use it or don't have the time and ask for help. I work for a living I don't have time to go to TLP school. If a mechanic told you to "grow a brain and fix your own car" would you like it very much? Nope.

    I just want to see a crease hack for NHLPA 93 before I die. Not too much to ask is it?

    What we really need is a good graphics editor for all 3 games. After WBOY came out with NOSE it really looked like a great graphics editor was going to be just a matter of short time...then NOTHING. For years. Big letdown. Thins are just not progressing the way I had hoped. We're still fiddling with that primitive garbage TLP for graphics. Can't someone come up with something better by now? Many games have their own personal editors and they are much more complex than NHL 92, NHLPA 93 and NHL 94. This sucks.

    don't mechanics get paid to fix cars? How much are you offering for someone to fix your creases?

  12. Who Will Win the Cup?

    Matthuray... You failed to mention the pens loss of one of the most under rated dmen in the league

    Scuderi... That was a huge lose and may help bring LA a playoff spot

    Alas, you are right. But Scuderi's value is in the playoffs, not in the regular season when he isn't as willing to block 10 shots a game. So if the Kings think they found a savior... they might be a bit disappointed.

    Ah yeah, that terrible Hal Gill, with his terrible +9 in the playoffs.

    What a sucker.

    You'd be +9 if you were on a Stanley Cup winning team. Chump.

    Anyone worth their weight in nickels knows Hal Gill is a 175 pound D man playing in a 225 pound D man body.... something you wouldn't find out by scouting his hockey card

  14. Who Will Win the Cup?

    Posted · Edited by matthurray

    Fact: Ray Emery and his criminal record are a perfect fit for the town of Philadelphia

    Fact: The loss of Hal Gill to any defensive core is addition by subtraction

    Fact: The Penguins got one year better... AND added a whole roster full of Stanley Cup winners. Boston, Washington, Philadelphia.... they cannot say the same.

    Any questions?

    Thank you to everyone who has either met or surpassed the 15 games played mark. The following players are 3 or more games away from 15: xdeathsbloodx (12), shaftman (8). The following are 2 or less away from 15: Sebe (14), nationals1 (13), Icestorm (14). If you have 12 games or less played by tomorrow at 11:59 EST, you will be replaced. If you have less than 15, but more than 12, you will receive strikes toward replacement.

    what is nationals1 AIM name? i don't know if i have him on my list

  18. Adam Gretz: NHL's Top 50 Players

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    I definitely disagree with this list.

    and I think a proper list would have to be a top 100.

    A lot of vets and young talent that deserve mention that arent on this list.

    So you are disagreeing with the list being 50 players in length?

    I personally think that #1 isn't high enough for Malkin. But otherwise, I find no value in these lists as hockey is not a 1 on 1 game, therefore making it very difficult and highly subjective to accurately rank the talent of players. But really... what I'm trying to say is that the entire Pittsburgh Penguin roster should be ranked ahead of the entire Philadelphia Flyers roster. Ok that's all.

  21. Koivu now gets chance to disappoint fans in Anaheim

    in NHL Discussion

    Posted

    *Sigh* Why does Wags always think it really matters , if you come from the USA or Canada... geez, it might be true, that you tend to be more stupid if your american, since the education is less spread for the average american than the average canadian... but outside that, therms of hockey knowledge, doesn't make a damn difference...

    I guess it's a good thing Koivu wasn't a Canadian citizen when he had cancer, because he would never have been treated.....

    Anyways in terms of great players during the 90s and 2000s... Koivu's name was kind of talked about.. but he never ranked up with Forsberg or Sakic or anyone that was actually great. Sure he had a good career... but not great.

    And I think that when the media stacks up the careers of pros, they always look for a Stanley Cup or Super Bowl Ring or etc... but that is such a terrible argument given they play team sports. Michael Jordan couldn't win any NBA Championships without Scottie Pippen, Toni Kukoc, Dennis Rodman, Horrace Grant, etc. From my perspective, it is just something more for the media to talk about, and it has trickled down to the common sports fan.

  24. Regular season coming to a close - Season 1

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I will be around only today and tomorrow morning. If we can't get it in then, I will forfeit so playoffs can begin.

    I will also offer Freydey grammatical lessons at half my usual price.

    update - my car broke down, and I will not be getting back to my home computer until the end of the week. I will forfeit this game in interest of getting the playoffs started.
