Weird story out of Denver...a 53 year old fan went missing during halftime of Thursday's game and has not been seen since then... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2809126/Colorado-man-mysteriously-vanishes-without-trace-halftime-Broncos-game.html

Dare to dream!

Yowza...all this time , I thought it was Jan Stenerud.

Nah. Mike Babcock was clearly out-coached by Craig Berube. Scotty Bowman woulda hung 15 up on the Flyers.

When fans stop showing up at Wrigley Field, ownership will spend some bucks on the team. As long as they're raking in money, why would they increase expenditures? It's kinda like the first 3-5 years of the Minnesota Wild...

Rumor out of Tampa is that the Rays' owner has had enough and is in discussions with the city of Montreal about moving his team north of the border...the Expos never should have left in the first place.

Those stupid scoop-tails on NHL jerseys (and basically any Reebok hockey jerseys, for that matter) annoy me to no end.

Not amused...but it's hockey, therefore, it must be watched.

Correct.

I enjoyed it while it lasted!

But that's a once or twice a year throwback, not a full-time jersey.

Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks, John Lynch, and the rest of the Super Bowl Buccaneer team must throw up in their respective mouths at this sad-sack Tampa Bay squad. Not only do they play awful, they LOOK awful in those ridiculous uniforms.

Wouldn't make a difference on a delay of game call, would it?

I listened for 4 of the 8 minutes and packed it in. At that point, no, it was still an NDSU coyote leg-humping fest.

Good grief. I almost expected to hear a deep voice at the end saying, "We're the North Dakota State Bison football team...and we approve this message."

My fingers need to go on a diet too.

Had it been an offensive hold or illegal use of hands, there would have been no do-over. Thank you, delay of game!

That game was still in doubt until the final seconds. Bemidji State is going to surprise a lot of teams this year.

I knew my negative vibes would inspire you in the 2nd half! Go Lions!

Was just gonna ask that myself!

NHL, sprig? Go have some tea and chips and head over to the NFL thread, LOL!

You're 5-2, Detroit, and Atlanta's been awful on defense all season. Your defense, on the other hand, has become one of the leagues's best. Down 21-0 at the half? Really?

My Blackheart sensor just went off so I got here as fast as I could...I watched last night's game courtesy of Dish's free NHL Center Ice package week-long free preview and can honestly say that Detroit absolutely worked over Philly for 97% of last night's game, yet was only ahead 1-0. Attempted shots at one point were like 50something to 15. The 4th Flyer goal was an empty netter. Good game. Philly got off to a slow start but has been playing well as of late. They defeated the hated Penguins a couple of nights earlier in Pittsburgh.

DISCLAIMER: My family has roots about 15 minutes away from Providence College so I've followed them over the years - devil's advocate rebuttal. Providence College, among many other schools like UNH, Maine, UMass-Lowell, etc., have long played second-fiddle to BC and BU out in Hockey East. I think Nate Leaman is working hard to change the culture where wins against top programs are EXPECTED, not hoped for. This was a "put-the-team-on-the-hockey-map" series for the Friars and it didn't go well for them. The squad was lucky to eke out a tie last night. I can understand his and the team's disappointment and think that that didn't exactly come across the way he wanted to in his comments. Of course, devil's devil's advocate might suggest he's just another hoity-toity east coast prick who believes anything west of Philadelphia should be mocked and ridiculed...

Apparently an LSU fan died of a heart attack at the end of last night's game with Ole Miss...very sad.
