I actually forgot the Star have won a SC! Short term memory loss or selective memory?

So if the POs started today we would play PIT. Without Crosby who likes our chances? With Crosby who likes our chances?

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!

New Jack was easily my fave from the ecw hayday

Agreed. Second or last, no difference in my book.

Yes. The linesman's vision was about as poor as the quality of that photo.

I disagree. A lot of people held the 1993 Phillies in high regard in this city until 2008.

Oh, Seravalli. We should have sold at the deadline in order to tank and get better picks in this summer's draft since we know we're not winning the Cup this year.

Tan, I think the first guy who mentioned it (in the Panoch thread) was serious (and stupid) and was roundly criticized for his doltishness, but the rest of the mentioners were just suffering the lack of the sarcasm emoticon.
- bodiva88


WOW all due respect I know I am answering this late, but that guy was me that rose up a bit off a fuss in the panoch thread. AND I only was raising the question of trading him while he has a higher value. I think you are referring to me, other guys started claiming he was faking the injury to being prevented from traded. I would never accuse somebody of actually doing that because I know how much players go through seeing it on a first hand basis and myself. I personally love how jvr players…. When he plays how he should. More often than not he is highly inconsistent. What I stated in that thread was if he is playing injured and that is what is effecting his game he should sit out half the season or whatever it takes to get him to play at that higher level again.

not the worst call ever perhaps but the video evidence is conclusive here. would have made the score 4-3 flyers in the 2nd period. didn't matter b/c gagne scored the winner in the 3rd anyway, but at the time i was flipping the (frank) out.
