Re: NHL '12 - '13 Thread

Now that we have a season, I would like to give a shout out and good luck to one of my favorite coaches. Good luck to Bob Hartley and the Calgary Flames. You guys are getting one hell of a coach and I truly miss him here in Colorado.:tu

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

The B's will give you vouchers for three hot dogs and or some other crap they call food as a thank you for being a good lemming.

It must of been painful for Neely to make that announcement?

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Golf is not a sport. If you can play it on a date, or play it while smoking a cigar, it's not a sport. It's a game.

I have arguments with a guy at work....I call it a "pastime". :r

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

Wait a minute. I will preface this by saying I have gotten into heated arguments about hockey being the most difficult sport to play given speed, skill, toughness required.

I have seen people play hockey drunk as hell, you could do pickup smoking a stogie, and I have seen couples playing together. While golf is not as physically demanding it is a specialized skill sport. No I dont play, but I think it is a sport as most every scrub cant go out and play effectively.

I would argue of all the sports football basketball and soccer involve the most basic of human skills running, throwing, kicking and catching. Children can do these things easily. Thats why they are thr most popular in my view. Anybody can go outside with a ball and play. Baseball requires more skill as does hockey and golf.

The "can you play it on a date or while you're smoking a cigar" rule is a great way to divide sports from games.
Flag football is kinda like football. You could smoke a cigar and take a date. It's still not a sport, it's a fun game. You can smoke a cigar with a date playing Yahtzee. It sure isn't a sport. You can't win unless you're good, or have "specialized skills". I know that cause Weeze whips my ass on a regular basis. It still ain't a sport. :)

When we apply the rule, it's applied in the purest sense. I wouldn't take a date to play men's softball. She'd get killed. I wouldn't smoke a cigar because I wouldn't be able to play. Sport.
At picnics we have pick up games of softball. Girls and kids play. Cigar smoking is not only present, it's encouraged. Game.

Ya gotta argue apples to apples, man. If ya jump all over the place I could make an argument for cake baking and putting on a robe being a sport. :lr

Right. I struggle and curse and flail around and check my balls every morning when I get out of bed. I don't call that "Golf". :lr :lr :lr

DirecTV is offering the service for four payments of $14.99 compared to the normal rate of four payments of $42.95 for the full season. The prorated discount is nearly 40 percent off the normal price, with DirecTV offering many of the same perks of Center Ice as iN DEMAND.

Apparently due to contractual issues with cable and satellite, the NHL offering it free for this season was never going to happen. At $59.96 for the season, I willl likely keep it.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

They're handing out championship rings in LA right now. Then they get spanked by the Hawks. :tu
I'd like to go in and watch the Pens, I'm gonna have to catch it after the first period.

Re: NHL 2013 Thread

So far, so good for Game 1. :)
