But I'm not a Caps fan. :huh:

Fine <_<

:huh:

At this point I'm more emotionally invested in a Blue Bombers victory than I could ever be invested in the Washington Capitals.

After I cheered for Calgary during the 2004 finals to...

my blessing had nothing to do with them losing by the way.

Harsh toke for the Devils. :face:

They were up 3-2. did they grasp defeat from the jaws of victory?

Turns out Brodeur is human. who knew?

It's the curse of Ron Francis!

The last time the Hurricanes lost a play-off series to the Devils it ended badly for Carolina. Stevens gave Francis and Willis concussions (basically ended the career of Willis) and pretty much disrespected the Hurrricanes at home.

Since than we have eliminated the Devils from the play-offs the last three times the teams have met!!! We just have Brodeur's number especially in Raleigh. We treat him like he was Josie Theodore.

Pfft it's because the Devils let Scotty go, haven't won a series last two seasons. :contract:

Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

Cheer on my Caps BB they have never won anything and are due. :contract:

Anyways the CFL season starts in two months...

Once your team is eliminated you cheer thru Hate, for failure of the hated teams.

I can NOT believe the NHL is making me cheer for the Carolina Hurricanes.

I just realized:  Every single decent team lost their series.  Now, all that's left is Washington and Chicago.

Well, Boston would be decent if Tim wasn't such a faggot.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

nucks/hawks and pens/caps will both be excellent series.

I don't like the lag between rounds or the saturday afternoon games (... its summertime)

Stupid NBC.

exactly. the other networks pay NHL $ for broadcast rights, while NBC doesn't; they have some sort of revenue sharing understanding, with no money up front.

If I ran CBC, TSN or Versus, I would be pissed.

If I was the NHL, I'd be glad an American broadcast network was showing my games.

They are, they shouldn't be.

The NHL doesn't need NBC.

I hate TSN2. :ultra:

The NHL needs everything it can get if it wants to be in the American market outside the North.

Sure, I'd love it to be back on ESPN and Fox(without the stupid robots), but it isn't 1995 anymore.
