  1. While soccer is intensely physical at times, hockey has that component on every shift so the ?potential? for injury is greater, I think. I?m troubled when my soccer players go play international games when we?re in the middle of playoffs. Disparage MLS all you want but it?s something I pay into as a fan to support and I want my guys winning here, now. I agree that the NHL does look far past USA/Canada borders to grow the game and they should model the NBA and NFL to a greater degree. They?ve been heading there but not enough.
  2. NYR taking a huge beating on Twitter right now. I'd like to see him play as much as the next guy, but pandemic got me thinking - "Stay home bud and stay well."
  3. Come back to earth indeed. He?s been posting on Twitter that he?s ?ready to debut in Bahrain if needed.? Seems a bit too eager. I get the excitement for next year but you?re right, ?Keep your head down son.?
  4. Good little chat with Gunther and about half way through he talks about GRO possibly racing this year.
  5. BREAKING: Mick Schumacher to race in F1 in 2021! The 21-year-old signs with @HaasF1Team
  6. A brief look at the 'outer' circuit at the end of this Ferrari promo: https://www.ferrari.com/en-EN/formula1/articles/2020-sakhir-grand-prix-preview
  7. Thx for the support but there are plenty who will disagree. I wasn't in the Garden in '94 but have attended some playoff games in recent years and distinctly remember the loud craziness v. CAPs. Yeah, when we're in the thick of it, the fans get loud. Regular season? Not so much I'm afraid to say. We don't have the consistency of 'loudness' that we once had from the Blue Seat Brigade. Loyalty? Yes, hands-down the best fans. Look at us at BSBH, after all the years of disappointment and getting kicked in the balls, we still support the boys no matter what.
  8. Imagine qualifying for a moment if it turns out RUS P1 and BOT P2... :eek:
  9. 50G - Amazing. Mercedes will be without Lewis Hamilton for this coming weekend?s Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain after the seven-time world champion tested positive for Covid-19. Hamilton needs a negative test before being allowed to return to the paddock, and therefore remains a doubt for the final race of the season in Abu Dhabi. https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-hamilton-ruled-out-of-sakhir-grand-prix-after-testing-positive-for.43GvWfdyvajkyisofT26LX.html
  10. LMAO - yeah that was great. We met Dan after a game at MSG for autographs and I was struck by his lack of height and slight build. Not a big guy by any means but his attitude made up for it...and those fists.
  11. I watched late last night...oof! Glad GRO survived. The STR roll-over shows that the HALO may need a bit more height because he could barely climb out. ARMCO has some 'splaining to do IMO. How is it that the barrier design allowed a car to pierce it the way it did? Reminiscent of the Kubica crash even though that one happened at a different angle. ALB was lucky too, not only from his crash but with a podium result due to good driving and Perez's motor expiration. Back at the same track next week, right? Slightly new configuration or will it be the same?
  12. Tarmo Reunanen looking like a starter for New York Rangers defense https://wp.me/p4jclE-1FwF
  13. Back at you Oz...and to the rest of the gang here. Always fun and good times talking NYR. Enjoy!
  14. My uncle had a library full of horror movies - he loved them and the occult, tarrot cards and anything with black magic. Naturally, when I'd sleep over his house as a youngster of 7-9 years old, he'd ask if I want to watch "Chiller Theater" or one of his Beta tape movies always prefacing it with, "But you won't get scared, right?" Creature from the Black Lagoon was my weak spot! At the end of the movie I had to walk alone to the other end of the house and my grandmothers room where I slept and I flew down that hall -- I mean like at 100 M.P.H. LOL
  15. 3 years of 'no interest' money amounts to a lot of money. The larger issue is guaranteed monies for 2020-21 at 72 percent of face-value pay versus now seeking 55.5 percent. THAT'S a lot of money to give up. An earlier post lead to an article stating that it is estimated that teams lose $1.5M per game in lost gate ticket sales, food concession, etc., so you can begin to understand the shortfall all around. The question becomes; Who is better able to weather this financial storm? Please figure this out amicably so we can have a season to look forward to.
  16. *thumbs* I want my team to beat the best on their way to a Cup. Not looking for an easier path so it can be thrown back in our face when we win. Win like our '94 team either decisively or with formidable come-back ability...you just knew that team was in a position to win any game - they had heart and skills.
  17. Super dumb post by the podcast guy. Could he be more insensitive to reality? I have the coffee on my shopping list. Looking forward to trying it out.

  19. Understanding that a good portion of NHL revenue comes from seat sales I understand why they?re asking. A ?mixed? in-person season v. TV-only would certainly hurt season ticket holders. I have season tix to Red Bulls soccer and this past year they allowed us to roll-forward our subscription in the event there were no in-person games allowed. (There was a pre-pandemic game we went to in early March that took one game off our yearly subscription.) They rolled the game credits forward as each home game date came and went without being able to attend. It would have been a cluster if they were able to limit attendance while not offering the credit because we didn?t go...but that issue never became a reality.
