  1. New commish Silver, what a way to make a statement and set the tone. Tons of respect for the decision.
  2. Press conference just finished. Here's a quick summary: - Adam Silver (NBA owner) says he's sure/confident owners will support him to get 3/4 vote to get the sale of the Clippers and out of the hands of Sterling - Donald Sterling is banned strictly and does not apply to his family (wife, kids..) - Clippers are worth $575 mill and reports are lots of bids are already being made one supposedly worth $1 billion. - only this incident was taken into account with the result of the ban and not the previous ones - $2.5 mill fine is league max which will be donated to organizations against discrimination.
  3. The owners and league should push to have him sell the team by this offseason and for the time being the league owns it. A buyer will surely take it being a LA located team and one of the more exciting, young promising teams out there.
  4. Seattle extends Earl Thomas 4 years $40 mill with $27 or so guaranteed. Highest paid safety, deserves it. Stud player.
  5. Nathan Mackinnon will be better at the NHL level than Connor McDavid will be. What do you guys think?

      Mackinnon seems like the real deal. Only young player I see capable of playing up to Crosby's standards and possibly even more. His stats this year were ridiculous.

      I guess we will see how MacD turns out when we draft him next year

      We should have tanked last year and fired mg... Where's a time machine when you need one.

  6. Benning is undoubtedly the front runner at this moment in time. http://prohockeytalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/24/linden-meets-with-neely-to-talk-about-stuff/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter ...now, I wonder what Linden could have met Neely about?
  7. Lol, it's completely the other way around. Ladies get the jerks/millionaires...they just take as much money as they can and make the user feel he has the ladies : p
  8. Down 0-2 series? Grab your junk, showcase it to the refs, and abracadabra, you're up 3-2 series! ...oh, I almost forgot to mention it has to be against the Blues.

      He did it during game 1 though

      Yeah there's no real point here tbh

  9. Raptors not giving up. Blue Jackets of the NBA. Win or lose, they've stolen many hearts.

  10. Kronwall, Datsyuk, Zetterberg...the beauties!

  11. ^i would. With Gronks uncertainty health wise, can never assume he will ever be 100% healthy again. He goes down in week 4, we're back to square one and the same scenario...that's why I'd trade up for him to ensure we have a TE.
  12. Said it in February, we get a top 10 pick, best hope we get Virtanen plus he's a hometown boy. Won't be able to land the top 5 so if they go accordingly, Virtanen is who we should take without a doubt imo so it doesn't kick us in the butt if we don't in a few years.
  13. If Pittsburgh loses 1st round or even 2nd which it's looking likely, they'll be so desperate for Kesler. Funny thing, Linden and new GM might not want to trade him. Pens will have to offer a whole lot more and it'll be interesting seeing if management is willing to trade him. Back-fire Pens lol

      Rather have players from Philly or Columbus to be honest....

      It honestly could happen were we see Maatta and Pouliot coming our way

      Linden likes Kesler, but if he can rebuild through him, the new GM, would be foolish not to. Pittsburg loses, Bylsma is gone as well.

  14. That's odd the guy files for it. Knowing Russell being a real good guy, must have been something to do with the wife.
  15. Jackets are a magical team to watch. So much energy from the young guys, no quit.

    1. Brad Marchand

      Don't understand anyone who says this series has been boring.

      It could have easily been 3-0 lead for columbus if they didnt melt down in game 1 and 3

      Holy crap what a move by Calvert. Wow, that close to a high light reel game tier.

  16. Patriots schedule released along with all other teams. Another easy schedule. I don't mind, people always complain, but I honestly don't like it...we get screwed in the playoffs due to it with the weaker competition. If I was part of management and knowing how good the Pats are, I'd want the toughest opponent possible tbh. Week 1- at Miami [W] Week 2- at Minnesota [W] Week 3- vs Raiders [W] Week 4- at Kansas City [W] Week 5- vs Cincinnati [W/L ...Bengals always seems to give a tough fight so this is a tossup] Week 6- at Buffalo [W] Week 7- vs New York [W] Week 8- vs Chicago [W/L] Week 9- vs Denver [W/L] Week 10- Bye Week 11- at Indianapolis [W] Week 12- vs Detroit [W] Week 13- at Green Bay [W/L] Week 14- at San Diego [W] Week 15- vs Miami [W] Week 16- at New York [W] Week 17- vs. Buffalo [W] Pats basically have a realistic shot at beating every team (perfect season? []) but likely will go 12-4 / 13-3, in that range.
  17. Canadian with the sweep, what do you guys think? I hope they finish it today

      I hate the habs but they will probably win tonight.

      ^likewise. let a real team eliminate them

  18. PK Subban with just a dirty dangle and pass, woooo. That was PG rated, defender goes head over heels!!

    1. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      Beauty play. Also saved a sure goal just before the disallowed one.

  19. Tarasenko > Yakupov. Vladimir is just so much better than Nail IMHO. If anything Yak is overrated and Tarasenko is underrated.

      Fail for Nail! Seriously he needs to get out of the Coilers before they ruin him..

      tarasenko is 2 years older might want to factor that into your thinking.

    4. DollarAndADream

      DollarAndADream

      Right now? Yeah, Tarasenko is miles better than Yakupov as of right now. Give Yak some more time and he'll get better. Maybe not as an Oiler though.

  20. https://twitter.com/chrisgetzlaf/status/456944171501105152 - hockey players are just a different bread.
