row_33

my formative years watched the Broad Street Bullies, Lafleur Habs, Bossy Isles and Gretzky Oil win 2-4 straight cups, so that's what I would call candidates way far more accomplished than the LIghtning. and Chicago and the Pens and Detroit have put up some impressive results over the last 20 years, it's probably never going to give us 4 in a row, so that's way more accomplished than a Tampa Team overdosing on winning regular season games. and the Devils....

as a Jays fan in the 80s-90s, Yankees/Red Sox Baylor just turned his back a tad and took it off the numbers what seemed liked 25 times in late innings during division races...

He seems more human than before, but the wall he had to build the first time was never required for the others. Times change. his interviews were open, I liked the question on what irons he used to each green and he easily stated them, probably can recall every shot he has taken in his career.

Before all the media prance around declaring TB the greatest ever, they might wait until the team has won three Stanley Cups in a reasonable time frame, not even asking 4 or 5 in a row.

When is Trump doing that perp walk through the Rose Garden? It was guaranteed any minute now inJanuary 2016.

Hunt got hit by Bill Bonham 3 of 4 plate appearances one year, a killer OBP without hitting the ball once baylor was a great player who didn’t mind getting hit in the back, many times against the Jays Hunt’s purpose up there was to get on base by being hit.

Nobody ever did that in Buffalo.....

Hunt took it 50 times one season, a main reason he was in the game. Baylor was a wannabeeee Ron Hunt,. Hunt’s left arm dangling over the plate was often the biggest offensive threat of the early 70s Expos

Ron Hunt was the greatest ever at hitting hit by a pitch

If you venture into the internet you probably will find someone with a different opinion.

Thanks, good memories.

We got 2 and 4 and 7 and PBS from Buffalo for a great cross-cultural experience And then a cable box that provide channel 28, that was living!!

Better to think of of inspiring winners like Trump and Tiger

I wouldn’t trade my Toronto fan years for continued success

Hockey’s the longest grind to take the title takes a a lot of talent and health and luck along the way finishing tops in the regular season doesn’t help you, I think 8th place won it all a few years ago? Good use of the Beastie Boys in celebration

Yeah.... McD is just another member of the subspecies of trash America, the worst waste of human skin on the planet

I didn’t expect them to crater THiS early and it’s fine for a team to go full out in the regular season, Tampa fans can’t be that spoiled by success, not sure they rally have any in baseball either... the Raptors are on their way to six straight regular season glories and quick dismal playoff exits. So maybe Toronto Iran’s can wake up next year....

Dodgers till the Jays got good in 1983, hard to like the Jays since 1993?

Yup

They have have a big ceremony to unfurl the banner in October.

That was better than Jack in 86, one of the greatest personal achievements, both men, in sports never give up!! Understood most women in my life still despise him...

He isn’t a Canadian he is barely a human

Mr Tortorella (sp?) never goes down without a fight, he and Mike Keenan were great game tacticians, despised by everyone all the while Who cares about the regular season if the team is going to the playoffs already?

For a few years we kept Gretzky off the NHL playoff pool because it was assumed everyone would take him, I thought by his 6th major everyone would pick Tiger for their top ten, but nope.... I’d open the selections in shock and laughter as they refused to take him.

It was ice pellets outside when the Masters came on today at 9 Teams making the playoffs do not have to care at all about the regular season. Sometimes they can’t avoid going on a mission for a great season, but why bother?
