  1. I couldn't live without ESPN in the 90'same. It seriously was on all the time. My GF and I had the most basic of cable through Time Warner. I only got it for CBC.

     

    Last month she called me at work and said Spectrum was offering a deal where you get 100+ channels and Internet for half the price. My only concern was CBC. After I installed the box I flipped around to see what I now had. No ESPN networks. She apologized and I told her there was no need to. Not only do I not need to watch it, I don't like watching it. Way too much irrelevant and obnoxious content.

  2. Kadri is that !@#$ everyone hates, but would love to have him on your team. He dished out a lot and he takes a lot.

     

    People who know the game say the hit should not even be a 2 minute penalty under today's rules, but also think those types of hits should be taken out of the game. Ron McLean said the ref was in a bad spot because it was on Ovi and he's rolling around on the ice so he had to call it to calm things down a little. Thing is, that's the type of hit Ovi likes to throw when he's running around like a maniac trying to kill people, so I say it couldn't happen to a nicer d-bag!

    Living in Buffalo I watch CBC in SD over NBCSN/NBC/USA. every time. OV has done that to others more times than I can count. Don Cherry was right clean hit. My Leafs fan buddy and I were texting during the game. I told him OV would be out for the 2nd. He was. Sabres fan here but I love how Toronto plays. Gotta get back to DC.

  3. Come on about the great service!

     

    Tell me again how many times have you been there. The locals hate this place!!!!! Meaning the folks from here.

    Barbill nothing but a tourist place. Right down the road there are places with wings just as frigging good without the long wait.

    Finally! Totally agree. Wings are overrated. Since the original owner sold it, it's staffed by major league aholes.

  4. It's funny. I like Sully when on Toronto's Fan590. Not over the top, interesting opinions, and somewhat informative.

     

    When he's on with Bucky on Sports Talk Sunday its like the crash of fing metal. Train wreck TV.

     

    I understand that he's had not much positive to write about over the last....say 1000 years but sometimes his shooting fish in a barrel approach gets old. I really miss Felser. Real sweetheart of a guy in person too.

  5. Nice job by the Leafs. They took a majority of the game to Washington. Up 2-0 and blowing it does show their youth. That being said, it took a seeing eyed to beat them. Caps know now it's going to be a battle. In a strange way, this could be the best thing to happen to them.

     

    Chicago better wake up. Nashville is for real. Preds played so well defending the transition. Well done.

     

    As for Calgary, too much too soon. They cant battle like Anaheim.

     

    Tonight should be fun!

  6. How about that Oilers-Sharks game?

     

    Sharks down 2-0 after the 1st, climb their way back into it. Tie it up in the 3rd to force overtime, then get the game winner.

     

    The players the Sharks needed to step up, did just that.

     

    The Orange Crush fans were rocking all night long, but the Sharks snuck out of there with the win.

    I watched a lot of the SJ game since the start time was staggered from the Blues game. Edmonton really showed their youth and inexperience. Way to many turnovers and panicked passing.

  7.  

    Pray the Sabres tank like the Leafs did.

    I'm a Sabres fan but I love watching this Leaf team play. They're fun. Playing with house money. All you need is a split and if Andersson stands on his head, doubt may creep in for the Caps.

     

    I know hockey has its detractors but the playoffs are amazing.

  8. The best playoffs in all of sports. Totally different game in the postseason.

     

    Not a reach by any means but I'll pick Chicago to win it all. This is the year the Caps win a few rounds but Toronto will give them a scare.

     

    1st round picks:

     

    Washington in 6. Interesting to see how the Caps handle any adversity. Leafs playing with house money.

     

    Montreal in 6. Even though Habs can't score, gotta go with Price.

     

    Pittsburgh in 7. This series will be nasty. They hate each other.

     

    Ottawa in 7. With both sides banged up on D, this is basically a pick'em.

     

    Chicago in 6. Will not be easy. May depend on which Renni shows up.

     

    Saint Louis in 5. Coaching change did wonders. Blues are a great dark horse.

     

    Anaheim in 6. This will be rough as well. Too much too soon for Calgary. Plus they haven't won in Anaheim in 11 years.

     

    Edmonton in 6. Oil need secondary scoring. McDavid will win two games by himself. Don't like SJ's game this year.

     

     

    Every year is awesome. Two months of fun!
