except that apple has 150 billion in cash on hand, so $3bil on a bet isn't really that big a bet. Compare it to the way facebook has been setting money on fire.

I can't imagine bettman's nhl making anything the penguins want illegal.

The motion carries.

we don't do that, sorry.

No problem. Someone had to.

Especially when you fall on them

That's for a century ride, tho.

I don't get why people give Patrick attention. He's been on this joke for almost a decade now.

sorry for your loss

and importantly, you cheapshot my star, I cheapshot yours, and maybe more than 1.

it's a pretty niche product.

no, that's a vehicle appropriate for commuting in houston

or you know, 10 years ago.

Yah, I just see the solution is on ice retribution, rather than what's going on, which is random punishment from toronto. Back when there were immediate repercussions for bad actions (and not necessarily on the player who committed the infraction), people thought before they acted.

Have to be careful arguing in favor of removing players from the game tho. It's a slippery slope that could have Lucic, Chara, and Thornton out of the game just as easily.

Yah, but I look at it like once the pens and rangers have been eliminated, 2 of my favorite teams have won the stanley cup in the same year. That's almost as good as the caps doing it. And since the caps will never get it together enough to overcome their shoddy ownership, that's the best I can hope for...

Toronto doesn't make the playoffs because their fans will sell out the arena no matter what. Montreal is generally really tough. In general the NHL is divided into haves and have nots, like most other sports. If you can afford to skirt the salary cap rules, have good management and coaching, you can put together a perenial team. That's about 8 teams in the NHL. Then there are another 16 teams on the bubble every year. who compete for the other 8 spots into the playoffs. Then there are the 6 teams that for a number of reasons just can't compete. The islanders, jets, panthers, jets/thrashers, bills, and lately the oilers fit this category.

damn, oh well. I'm not doing so well this year int he playoffs, much like the regular season. So far, just the notPenguins, Ducks, and notRangers left in the mix.

go notrangers
