  1. Come on you Nets, I really want those free playoff tickets!!! I'm not even going to be greedy and pray for a 7 seed and a date with the Cav$.
  2. I'm sure the Leafs will bow their heads in shame and apologize for this season and then come back with a 15% increase since they need to make up the money they lost when the Canadian dollar went down in value Are MLSE the Dolans of Canada or are the Dolans the MLSE of America? Canadian dollar plummeting is fortuitous for me because I'll be there next week to see Steelheads play the Otters. Trout have game worns of several legit prospects for less than $120 US and I plan on getting one.
  3. Nets beat Dinosaurs in Toronto tonight. Did not see that coming. Also got an email "from the desk of Scott O'Neil" offering me a two year price freeze if I renew my Sixers tixs. He basically comes out and says they are going to be bad for the next few years which is why they are making the offer. Give the guy credit for honesty. I'm renewing but don't know how they can justify raising prices for those who are new STH's, but they own the godawful Devils and are raising prices there too.
  4. As a token of their appreciation for their STH the Devils raised the price of tickets for next season (goes up from $23 to $25 for me). I can understand why they had to do so, what with the dynamic and entertaining product they are putting on the ice. Seriously this is something you would expect from the Dolans or Wilponzis.
  5. Went to DC to see Wiz take on Dinosaurs. Game was tremendous with the first quarter being among the best and most fun quarters I've ever seen live. Dinos are for real and the bandwagon showed up in full force in the stands (I'll give them credit as they took over the arena several times). John Wall may be my favorite player to watch at this point because some of the stuff he does is mindblowing. Also they handed out Marcin Gortat action figures which has to be the most amazingly random promotion ever.
  6. I want them to play the Rangers first because those games are just about the craziest games imaginable, particularly at Nassau. It's as close as you'll get in this country to an Old Firm match if the fans weren't segregated.
  7. Got my Nets invoice for next season and not only will price stay the same, if I renew before April my first round playoff tickets are free (hey, why are all of you guys laughing? Oh...). I'm eagerly awaiting my Sixers playoff invoice as well after the big win tonight, just have to go on a 20 game winning streak. And in bigger news, the team apparently plans on bringing back the legendary BIG SHOT~!~!~! as mascot (I kinda miss Hip Hop because he gave small children nightmares, but that's just me).
  8. DJ at Rexal just played Warrior's entrance music during a fight, then followed it with Austin's after fight ended. WRESTLING~!
  9. Are the Laffs the Knicks of Canada or are the Knicks the Laffs of America?
  10. OK that's more like it.
  11. The Oiler lottery dynasty will not die without a fight #Battle4Connor #TylerMyersActuallyScoredaFuckingGoal
  12. Sometimes, no matter how bad you are playing you run into a team that knows how to dig down deap and reach that next level of awful. All you can really do is tip your cap to us.
  13. I think me and DFA will be the entire tv audience tonight (even the Latvians are skipping this one).
  14. Actualy, he did (think it was even in his Observer report on the special).
  15. Feel bad for Glens Falls losing another team. Heard they are getting ECHL though. Glad I got my Adirondack Flames one year wonder shirt when I was up there on Saturday. Also SJ is going to play in the shark tank so they'll share venue with the big club.
  16. My theory is that it's temporary and that he's sticking around just in case the team's goaltending situation goes to shit again. Next year I can't not see him in Newark.
  17. Shitfaced Ovie=GOLD!!! I'm still sad he didn't get his car.
  18. Made my first ever trip to Canada this weekend and it was awesome. Newspapers dedicate their sports sections to hockey, sports stations lead with hockey, Tim Hortons every 500 feet, poutine, real beer (not the watered down shit here), nice people, clean, I FUCKING LOVE CANADA!!! Went to a Sens game on Saturday and it was interesting. Canadian Tire Center is in the middle of nowhere, and I'm still trying to figure out who thought it was a good location. Arena is nice enough, reminded me of a better version of the soon-to-be-late Izod Center. My friend said it reminded him of the Palace of Auburn Hills. Best thing was the Tim Hortons stand because the prices were roughly the same as a Tim's on the street. I was shocked because every venue I've ever been to jacks up prices. The Tim's in the arena was actually cheaper than the ones on the streets of NY. Weirdest thing was the team store, which actually featured gear from opposing teams. In fact, they actually had Carolina jerseys prominently displayed. I haven't seen that at a stadium or arena since the early 90's when visiting team items were a hard to get novelty (re: before the internet). My friend explained to me that Ottawa is basically a place where visiting fans come (particularly when the Leafs or Habs are in town) and that the fan base is small. Game was typical NHL: Shit first period, slightly better second, good third. Notable thing is that the atmosphere is real bad, even worse than Prudential Center or MSG (which went to shit when the real fans were replaced by suits). I was really shocked at how dead the crowd was. Still I had a good time there and I'm begging my friends to come back to Ottawa for CFL in the summer (want to do a tour that includes my beloved Ti-Cats. Will be going back to my new favourite country in February. My friend wants to go to a Brampton Beasts game, but I told him there is a Steelheads game at the same time and that even better is that they play Erie (they have this kid named Connor McDavid, perhaps you've heard of him). My friend said no, ECHL is better so we'll go there instead even though it costs $10 more. I pounded my head against the nearest wall.
  19. Live report from Philly: Flyer fans are PISSED, more on this story as it developes.
  20. 10,9,8,76ers! 1,2,3,4,5, Sixers! Game was sloppy as hell but a win is a win.
  21. Tavares went full beast mode in OT to beat the Devils. Seriously, it was like he said "Fuck it, I'm ending this" and scored through sheer willpower.
  22. Sorry for double post. My phone sucks.
  23. Apparently they're doing a town hall meeting at RBA next Friday with Curtis and Marsch. 300 person capacity. I won't be able to get down there from Wilkes-Barre, but I really hope they stream it on their website or something. It's going to be a DISASTER (for them, of course) if they can't weed out anyone who's not a plant that's there to ask safe PR questions.Also, this is a thing: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/billboard-against-the-firing-of-mike-petke Campaign reached its fundraising goal in less than half a day. My friend Goran is actually the guy who set this up so he deserves props (along with everyone who contributed). The guy behind the FireJohnIdzik billboard posted on the MF board offering his assistance. #redbullout

  25. Question for Ali: If you are so confident your grand plan is going to work then why are you refusing requests from fans for refunds? Surely you feel that you will be successful, and if so won't you be able to replace those who give up their tickets?
