Ladies and gentlemen, the scorer of the 1,000th goal in Metro history..... Mike Grella? He's no Gio but It was a game winner so I'll take it. By the way for those of you wondering what a soccer team owned by the Yankees would look like: they were selling cardboard boxes for $10, posters that were small giveaway quality for $10, programs for $10, player t's for $38 and scarves for $40. About 27,000 there to witness a pretty dull game in the freezing cold (was actually snowing lightly). City were shorthanded but could've snatched a draw vs the sporks. Kreis was the smartest signing they've made by far because he knows how to build a team. I honestly will be suprised if they don't become the 3rd expansion side to ever make the playoffs.

WWJD? Punch Phil Kessel, apparently. Can one of you post the Kids in the Hall skit with the guy who everybody Is compelled to hit in the face because that sums this up nicely?

The Islander board right now makes Chernobyl look like a wastpaper basket fire. Seriously, people are saying they are missing the playoffs and shit like that. I'm really fighting the urge to wind them up by saying they will win the lottery and give us McDavid.

Draft picks->?-> Profits!

I know, they are such a Boer at this point.

Between Yale and Quinnipiac this has been a real shitty day for Connecticut college hockey. Add the Danbury Whalers probably folding shortly and this week has fucking sucked.

Nyets get destroyed at home against the Celtics, then beat the Hornets in Charlotte and tonight beat LeBron and the Cavs. If they make playoffs my first round tickets are free, but they are going to torture and torment me before crushing my free basketball craving soul.

Dear hockey Gods: on this day 18 years ago my Whalers died. You fucking owe me, big time. Connor McDavid in a Sabres uniform would be a nice start. Thanks, Mike

Sabres scored and I swear everyone in the crowd just looked at each other and said "what the fuck are we supposed to do now?". The Yotes goal actually got cheered. And we just took the lead. Fuck.

No, because all he does is lose.Except in the Gold Cup, where we won.And the World Cup qualifying, where we went 11-2-3, finishing at the top of the hex. And the World Cup, where we advanced from a group we had no business advancing out of. So basically he just did what Bob Bradley did (except we had to get rid of him).Yes, winning the Gold Cup once out of three times and advancing out of an England-Slovenia-Algeria group is just like what Klinsmann's done. There can be no argument that there is any difference whatsoever, so clearly we need to look at friendly records, which is what really matters. We won the Gold Cup basically by default because Mexico went to shit. Klinsmann fluked his way through the WC (where we were totally outplayed in every game except possibly the Portugal one). But Klinsmann is a genius, because he was a great player who once took one of the 4 greatest football nations to a WC semifinal on home turf!

Don't mention that last year USMNT had a losing record for first time in forever. But yeah, Klinsmann has really bought us to new heights.

No, because all he does is lose. He talked this big game and doesn't deliver. Then when things go to shit he blames everyone else.

Re: Klinsmann: When does someone point out the emperor has no clothes? But as long as Sunil is a mark for the guy he's got the job for as long as he wants.

When Lou looks at his awful roster, then looks at an empty arena he may find it in his heart to forgive and forget (with a little nudge from ownership of course).

Anyone who watched MLS this week and thinks expansion is a good idea is insane. Quality is going down, so let's add a bunch more teams!!! And the morons in the Post and News questioning Petkie being called a legend for our club are clueless. Bondy of all people should know better That he's one of the most beloved players in team history, not just the most successful coach we ever had.

If you want to see how one player can make all the difference look at the Revs. Last year once they got Jones they caught fire. With him being out so far they have been total dogshit. The east is so horrible this year that it's entirety possible that one of the expansion teams could win it.

Bucks-Nets goes to triple OT. This is the second time this season they've done so. Anyone know the last time two teams played a pair of triple OT games in a season?

If anyone can direct me to an mp3 of the 10,9,8,76ers song from the 70's that they play at WFC it would be greatly appreciated (looking at Gregg or CM here).

Do you realize the people who paid to get into this Devils-Sabres game could've used that money to get at least 5 orders of wings at Duff's and had enough left over to get a beer and a fried baloney sandwich?

Am I the only one who wants to see Left Shark brought in as a celebrity and face the bunny?

They did it against a D League team so it doesn't count.Was at Nets-Sixers and it was basically two bad teams playing bad. Didn't help that the officials decided to take the broken windows theory and apply it to officiating a basketball game, resulting in a parade to the free throw line.

Would've said It was closer to 90% full. Atmosphere was insane, like a playoff game at the Nassau Colliseum level loud. My friend actually went down and stormed the court with the Harvard students.

Ron Wilson went on the air during TSN Trade Center and openly admitted he participated in matchfixing while in the NHL. I am not making this up. He literally sat there and said he was instructed by management to do everything in his power to ensure his team lost games, and that the challenge was figuring out ways to get his players to agree to do it without actually outright telling them to throw games. This is an established, respected hockey figure. Nobody in the media said a word and the only legal action to come out of the show was Joffrey Lupul threatening to sue some guy on twitter. The NHL doesn't care. They're not going to do anything. I have to admit I find the glee some people have about their team losing to be shit. I don't want to lose. I want to win. I want to win every game. If that means the Oilers never pick first overall ever again, fucking great. The only suggestion I can make is an absolute, straight lottery system between every team that misses the playoffs. But even then, it's capped at 20% now to get first overall. And look at this shit show. It's ridiculous. I want to see the Sabres win a Stanley Cup in my lifetime. We have a shot at a guy who would all but guarantee that happenig and a consolation prize of a guy who would be a pretty big step towards that goal. Tanking is really the only way things get better because even though Pegulia will spend $$$ it's next to impossible to get a franchise player via FA in the NHL because they almost never hit the open market. And then you end up giving stupid money to Ville Leino in desperation.

Oilers with at least a loser point so our lead is back up to 4 points.

Congrats grizz! Goal was one for the all time blooper reel.
