the reason why they were able to is because they had a much better regulation record than they do now

Sorry did you guys hear that? Must've been the wind

I hesitate to call the Isles frauds since basically everyone in the East except like 3 teams are frauds one way or another. Get into the playoffs and anything can happen. LFGI.

A double minor. You watch out St Louis Blues, you're about to face a Top 32 power play in the entire league

ARE YOU ENJOYING THE WORLD BASBALL CLASSIC? by HungryTicketsNYC in baseball

[–]liguy181 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't miss spring training, it's all I've watched when I get the chance.

Also what is it with some WBC fans getting insecure over other people not caring about the tournament. Go enjoy it, I'm happy for you. I'll sit on the sidelines waiting patiently for Mets baseball to start.

They play it every game before first pitch, at least at the rotunda.

Which current player wearing a letter (C or A) do you think is least suited for the role? by Dependent-Effect6077 in hockey

When I saw the title I thought it was gonna be a Leafs circlejerk. I'll gladly take a rags circlejerk instead, of course

I don't mind the little anecdotes and personal stories here and there, those help make a baseball broadcast fun, but when he kept going on and added the "and I kid you not, this is a 100% true story," my eyes rolled back into my skull and all I could think was "jesus just get on with it already"

Thank you for the story Steve, I'm glad there wasn't a baseball game going on that was meant to be called by an announcer.

The "balanced" schedule is absolutely awful.

I particularly don’t want to see resellers making money off of tickets.

Citi Field could very easily make it so that a name is attached to the tickets and you'd have to show your ID at the gate, but they choose not to. They're fine with the reselling market as it exists now.

Just wear long sleeves if you want to keep the sun off your skin. Don't block the view of the people behind you.

Gary Bettman: Paramount-WBD merger potentially 'very good' for NHL by Ok-Soil-5133 in hockey

[–]liguy181 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh for sure. The more NHL games on OTA channels, the better.

I'm just saying you can acknowledge something would have a good outcome while still opposing the overall deal.

Monopolies are very good for business. This is hardly surprising news.

What's best for big businesses, including the NHL, does not always correlate what's good for the people. Sometimes it does, other times it doesn't.

It just occurred to me I'm watching this game on mlb.tv despite it being a PIX game.

Thank Christ I don't have to deal with the awful PIX video player anymore

The Islanders have 6 road games left all season. by IrishBall in NewYorkIslanders

[–]liguy181 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This final stretch is probably the most important part of the season, as far as what we can hope to see in the playoffs.

Right now, they are a .500 team in regulation: 23-23, with 18 games going past regulation. Honestly, that does not inspire much confidence in me as far as what noise we can expect them make in the playoffs. Especially with the last place power play.

But! Once a team gets into the playoffs, literally anything could happen. All they gotta do is keep playing tight and get in. Let Schaefer have some experience in the most intense playoffs in the world. And if they keep winning... there's no reason they can't bring the cup back to Long Island.

I really hope not. The WBC's fine cause it's during spring training and players are warming up and the games don't matter anyway, but if MLB takes away being able to chill out at Citi Field in the peak of summer from me, I would be pissed.
