83' isn't that long ago. I remember that Series pretty vividly.

It's more a matter of not being competitive, never playing a game that matters (for them).

In their heyday they had plenty of good teams that didn't make the playoffs, but they were fun to follow because they were right in there every season.

Kinda like the Flyers with the exception of ... er ... a recent season.

Worst call in the history or Professional Sports imo.

Garcia admits he blew the call, but that Tarasco wouldn't have caught it -- it would have hit the wall.

The other day during a game, a rush by the opposition was ten feet offside but not called.

I asked the linesman if he was related to Leon Stickle.

Garcia's call was much easier.

Bang bang calls at first with a loud crowd are tough.

Stupid NHL.

He was retrieving a rebound of his own shot.

Was he supposed to step back out of the crease?

Has to be in the Jack Adams conversation this year. He's done an amazing job in St. Louis.

Just because pro wrestling is per-determined does not mean it is not punctuated by real moments.

One that happened 2 weeks ago on RAW was when Wade Barrett dislocated his elbow and you could see the ref give the crossed arm signal indicating a legit injury.

That or he was signaling for New Jack to come out with a trash can full of weapons!
