Papayas

the whole situation is more complex than one aspect of the game.. It is a combination of a lot of things.... How is it fair to pin the problem to one coach? Even if AV is here, the same problem would probably happen again and we will be here discussing why AV needs to go and someone is a perfect fit for us as our new coach.... just because some idiots pin all the problems to AV last year, it doesn't mean we should do the same again this year with a new coach...

Funny you mentioned nba when u say the league I fixed. Apparently you never watch nba before

that is not a bass.. .it's a carp....

` errr that's call rigged. Using refs to manipulate the flow and result of the game is the same as rigging. The only difference is that one doesn't have a script. I mean they don't even try to hide that anymore judging from last season's playoff...

and here comes the fire our gm thread... The same group who yapped about normal season win doesn't matter wants our gm to be fire now cos of reg season losses... the irony...

Thanks Refs. 67 ???? penalty mins and 3 misconduct...

what did chara get when he sandwich someone's head from the bench? What did Boychuk get when he rotate a puckless Raymond and smash his back against the wall?

it has more to do with the timing of the league trying to bounce back from the lock out and really push for the USA market rather than some special relationship between Rocky and the league. The league needed to push the hockey market in the USA in the mid 2000s because of the drop in market during that time. Teams were overly defensive and hockey was still deemed a canadian sport in the USA. That was the time when Bettman and the league started to shove the cups into the sport cities' ass. The players' development happened largely because the league allowed those players on the team to play with more freedom. All it takes is a few missed call here and there and send a message to the players that they can play recklessly without punishment,and you will get a talented player who can play with an "edge". I mean players like Lucic or Keith is the poster boy of this kind of treatment. Do you really think Kassian will be suspend so many times if he plays for the Boston?

Can you actually show the evidence about rocky has a good relationship with the league that got him the cup? No? That's what we call speculation. Rocky's Chicago is already a pretty loade Tean when he inherit the team from his daddy. It would have more to do with the league giving it a little help in the playoff because they want to promote hockey in ine of the biggest sport city in the USA than being BFF with the owner.

but this is just speculations.... not facts.. I do think the league had been manipulating the playoffs via referee for years and try to push the major sport cities in the USA to win the cup... However, I got to that conclusion because I watch the way the officals handle their calls in the playoffs, not because I speculate the whole thing base on my feelings. saying the playoff is rig because the owner of the hawks won the cup when his father didn't is a pretty weak point.

interesting. Now this would be a good reason to get a ps4. Hopefully the library will not be too limited

the difference is that Bitcoin doesn't have the restriction and rules that is applied to real world cash by the governments. But yes, I just can't understand why would some people invest so much money into the bitcoin market unless you are the one who's controlling it.... it's just foolish

I hope you didn't mean Baggins when you talk about adding him to the ignore list .....

am i imagining things or are there people in this thread that actually supports investing into bitcoins? Bitcoin is one of the dumbest thing anyone can make any serious investment into. The difference between Bitcoin and money in the bank is that the latter one is a permanent feature that any society needs. The value of bitcoin is so easily manipulate that it's even more risky than the stock market.

didn't the bitcoin market crash when the government shutdown the website that sells drugs? I recall that website was responsible on the rapid inflation of the value of bitcoins since it's an easier way to laundry the money.. Its bubble was burst when the owner of the website got caught and all his money were seized,

looks like someone is being too serious.....

1. I am not saying getting ps4 is a bad thing. My original post was referring to people who owns a ps3 but tried to break their fingernails to get an over priced ps4. If you want a ps4 with those functions because you don't have a ps3, an you actually managed to get one, the good for you. 2. It still doesn't change the fact that what you can do on a ps4 is almost exactly the same as the ps3 minus the tiny upgrade in the graphic department. There is no point to go crazy to find one currently, and I have seen a lot of ps3 owners on CDC trying to sell their body for a ps4

Because it's hard to get one now and that you will be wasting your warranty for nothing more than a pissingly poor game library in 2014

You mean your ps4 is allowing you to do the same thing as what a ps3 or 360 can do? All the games you listed are avaiible in the so call last gen, and their game play or graphic is basically the same between the ps3 and ps4 version unless you think a slightly clearer background in FIFA would make a difference. This seriously shows my point that there is no point to rush for a ps4 currently unless you just want a ps4 for the sake of owning a ps4.

did Kass own you money or steal your girlfriend? I get it, you don't buy in the hype of Kassian being a future superstar. I can assure you that not many sensible people would do that. What he is tho, is a pretty good PF prototype who is steady improving at such a young age. your obsession about Kassian is getting to a pretty disturbing level now... Hell you are sounding like Canuckslion on Bieksa right now... Not only you are exaggerating Kassian's short coming, you refuse to give him ANY credit in most of your posts about him. You should stop for your own sake... Can't imagine what kind of person you are in real life if you can be that negative towards someone you didn't even talk to before....

Really don't see a point if buying a ps 4 at this time of the year... The game library is limited (same as Xbox 360), and you can't play ps3 games with it. Hell, even psn plus doesn't have anything meaningful to offer current. Just don't see why ppl want one now other than just to have a ps4 or xbox 1 sitting in your living room collecting dust.... PS3 has some great and mature game library and its graphic aren't that bad. Psn plus have some pretty interesting game coming up this month like bioshock inf and dmc too... I will probably get my ps4 when the game library matures a bit

doesn't change the fact that 3 of the original 6 had won the cup in the last 6 seasons... Those 3 cities also represent the biggest sport market in the USA. Now take this fact, and look at how the refs treat those teams in the playoffs. It's just downright disgusting.

ya, suddenly all the major sport cities in the USA such as NBA championship regulars like LA, Boston, and Chicago started to out-skill other teams in the last decade. like I said before, anyone who isn't blind can easily see that the refs had been managing the outcome of the game via calls and non calls for a really long time. In the last 6 seasons alone, 3 of the major sport cities had won the cup when the league had been trying to push the usa hockey market. maybe the PED accusation is a bit far fetch, but it's not outrageous that someone actually see something wrong with the NHL playoff

Biased reffing at MANY times and the league did nothing about it. So no the problem is way beyond just the ref level. The league had been using phantom calls and non calls to effect the outcome of the game in the playoff for ages. All it takes is to watch the playoffs.

probably somewhat random, but wtf would you hate TSN over networks like CBC or sportsnet?
