Carolina/New Jersey in the playoffs
Go coitus yourself.
I never left. I just sit here quietly lurking, waiting for a chance to pounce.

I have to admit that even I didn't know how much Sims did for snowboarding. I'm surprised that I'm hearing of this first on Sportsfilter and not from any of my old school skater friends.
.
also, it may not seem impressive now, but Jeff Philips was awesome in his day.

I love live hockey, especially playoff hockey. Prices are the problem. Five years ago I could have afforded to go to ten regular season games and a couple of playoff games in Nashville but not anymore. Now I just save my money for really good seats to one regular season and one playoff game. I will give Nashville credit though, getting in and out of the city and finding decent parking has never been a problem for me, at least for hockey.
I have never been to a live NFL game so I have nothing for comparison. I just imagine that huge field and needing binoculars to see all the action. I'm going to a charity auction this Saturday though and I here one of the items for bid is two tickets for Jets @ Titans, so maybe that will change. A coworker has already informed me that traffic is a pain for football games but tipped me off to mall outside of the city where you can park for free and take a bus downtown.

Ever since the Jim Balsillie incident, I regard any article by the G&M about Nashville as tabloid fodder/borderline propaganda. But threre's one line I agree with:
When he[Weber] agreed to the Flyers' offer sheet, even though it was set up to maximize the chances the Predators would not match it, Weber had to know there was a good chance they would.
and from south of the border:
He's the team captain. He'll be welcomed back in Smashville like it were any other year, maybe even moreso now.
I don't see the front loaded deal hurting Nashville owners as much as some predict, because front row seats are now even more than I am willing to pay yet they still managed to sell them. (I'll spare you my rant on why I'm siding with players this CBA, at least for now...)

I've read a lot online from Devils fans that they are so happy just to see New Jersey in the Finals while defeating their two most hated division rivals on the way. I'm not one of them, I'm getting greedy:
New Jersey in 6

New Jersey in 7 (I'm going to need prescription medication to make it through this series.)
Los Angeles in 6 (I don't feel comfortable betting against a team that's 8-1 after two rounds.)
posted by MrFrisby at 05:26 PM on May 13
Yes! Yes! Fuck you too!
Washington in 7 (I said last round, I would pick the upset if the Rangers played the Caps)
New Jersey in 6 (This isn't what I first typed, but the homer part of my brain took over)
St.Louis in 5 (...rolling like thunder, under the covers...)
Nashville in 6 (What am I, made of money? I can't afford playoff tickets this round. Make it to the next round, and we'll talk)

I forced myself to watch the whole thing but wanted to turn it off halfway through. Makes me wonder if Paul Kariya should have been allowed back out on the ice.

NY Rangers in 5 (I would have picked the upset if they were playing the Caps)
Boston in 4 (I have to pick a sweep in here somewhere. This looks like the best chance for one to me)
New Jersey in 7 (That damn Clemmensen is going to make this last longer than it should)
Philadelphia in 6 (It's not that I want the Flyers to win so much as I want the Penguins to lose)
Los Angeles in 6 (I have to pick an upset somewhere, my American bias tells me to do it here)
St. Louis in 5 (Sharks should be able to win one home game)
Phoenix in 7 (Smith carried me to victory third place in a fantasy league this year)
Nashville in 5 (I hope, as game 5 is the only game I can make it to)

Great link because...
"Felix did play 33 games for the Isles in 1999 -- in goal -- but if anything, you'd think his 3.35 GAA and .893 save percentage would be something Ranger fans would cheer not jeer."
...I said pretty much the same thing. A fellow spofite informed me it was Denis, not Felix.
Also, I wish my fellow Devils fans would come up with something more original than, "Rangers suck"

I knew for sure that I'd lost this week in the SpoFi League. I was behind by like 30 points with only Matt Ryan left to to play and the team I was up against had Sproles. I was shocked this morning to see Ryan had 49 fantasy points to give us the tie and that I actually won the tiebreaker. Awesome.

After watching the Jets defense look less effective than a wet paper bag, I was really hoping the Patriots would get Tebowed.
Gosh darn, I hate football.

I don't agree that the NHL is better having him back, at least not with the current NHL marketing department. While he's been away (and Ovechkin slumping) the NHL has been marketing the best players on other teams (Stamkos, Ryan, Carter, Read). I'd think that if you're trying to grow the brand that you would want potential fans to know that there are more than two teams in the NHL. Heck, this morning the Puck Daddy blog had seven out of ten of it's front page posts about Crosby. Sure, you need to market your best player to draw them in, but unless you market players like Nash, Rinne, or even Backes, why would a person in Kentucky (who wasn't already a diehard hockey fan) spend money on Center Ice or the money to go to a game that didn't feature Sid or Ovie?

Considering how hard the NHL worked to keep the Preds in Nashville and Yotes in Pheonix (for now), it must have been pretty dire in Atlanta. Either that or it's because Mr.Blackberry wasn't involved.

My line of work has ruined me. As I watch the video I keep looking at the handrails on the drop in ramp and see the posts sticking up higher than the top rail and the first thing I think is, "That's not OSHA compliant."

With no Sid (or hopeful return) to market now, #8 is going to be the MSM's focal point, so I'll be rooting for the Bolts but I'm picking Washington in 6
What's the over/under for PIMS in this series? Philadelphia in 7
My head says Vancouver but my heart says Nashville in 5
At the beginning of every season some "experts" say it's the Sharks year to go far and it's the year the Devils miss the playoffs...so...San Jose in 7

The only reason I don't like this is because my cable company doesn't carry VS or any Center Ice channels in HD. I do however get two ESPN's and NBC in HD. It didn't affect me much during the regular season because I've been getting NHL Gamecenter on my PS3 for over four months now. Almost every game in HD and my choice of home or away feed. So as long as the Devils and Predators aren't the big markets or have the Crosbys/Ovechkins I rarely have to care. But yes, this sucks come conference finals time.
And yeah screw ESPN. I have a long commute and I can't remember what exactly it was they were talking about on ESPN radio but it was two different stories and when it was over SVP said, "I'm sorry, I just realized that we did two hockey segments in a row, I promise it will never happen again." That was back in November, I've been listening to PBR ever since.

Just to get my hopes up and kick me in the groin. They turned that first overall pick into an eighth. Loved watching that Tedenby kid though.
