I'd favor Detroit in the 4th sicne they are the defensive team and this is a defensive game. However, I then remember that it's LA who has all the big times players who *know* how to win win it counts... It's anyone's ball game..

No. They won't have a next season because the owners overspend their money on things they can't afford.

Not if you listen to Gary bettman. He is very admamant about a ahrd cap. You know the best way for the owners to settle this? Next time a high priced players is a free agent pay them what they honestly feel he is worth not as much money as possible just to outbid the other teams. Just is the way it is in basically every business. You go for what is the best deal for you. The owners need to learn self control. If the players go elsehwere to play that's their chocie. of course, they probably won't be paid as much so if it wa sjust about the moeny they'd stay with the NHL anyways. The way i see it if a team can't afford to compete then perhaps the team doesn't deserve to be a team.

Don't worry, Visc is autom pissed off half the time. the other half he is cool or at least tolerable. Don't take his looney tunes personally. :D

For a game you have 'no interest in'; you sure pay a lot of attention to, Visc. You probably already have it preordered. As for the article; nothing special there. :ph34r:

LOL No youa re not. Why do you lie? Anyways, as for your example, comapring food which is needed to LIVE to the need of a sports team owner needing players is so ridiculous it flies in the sense of common sense. Bottom line, it's the owners fault for CHOOSING to pay $10 mil for hockey players if they truly cannot afford it. And, as my team the Rangers prove beyond a shadow of doubt, spending 10s of millions of dolalrs guarantees NOTHING so why spend that much? Simple. the owners are stupid and ahve no self control.

Hah. nah, you should be polite. RL isn't the MB. B)

Did you tell him his powerhouse team sucked for choking this year?

mkreku: read your posta agin. It's there in black and white. ender: That's the point. It's the owner's fault. Also, you say the players are just playing for moeny? I disagree, and Calgary, Tampa Bay, and all the other 14 play-off teams would disagree with you as all of them universally played for the leagacy of winning the cup. The real problem isn't the tv revneues. that's a symptom of the owners being too stupid to realize they cna't afford $10 mil contracts. What does a business person (or anyone for that matter) do when they can't afford something. Simple, they don't poay for it. Unfortinately it seems those who own professional sports teams tend to forget that. As for your college sport thing, it's the players being taken advantage of. They get a dgree that costs what? $50? Menahwile the colleges make millions of dollars. Yeah, talk about fairness. Not to mention, if a player is even hinted at taking 'bribes' to play ata certain colege he is in a heck of a lot of trouble. If the players walk I blame the owner for not having any self control.

Mkreku posted the following: "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Someone else has more money than me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" Please try aagin as you obviously failed. P.S. It's funny hwo often you call me a flamer and troll yet you do the same exact thing but 100% of the time as if you noticed my post involved 0 flames for any board members. gof igure. Keep up the good work entertaining me. P.S.S. Did you happen to notice that it was Calgary and Tampa Bay in the Finals this year or did you happen to conviently forget that? LMAO

Blame the owners. If the onwers can't control themselves; that's their problme not the players. Why should the players say no to big contracts? that's ludicrous. Every single owner is a friggin' rich businessman so they aren't stupid business wise (you would think so, anyways) so why do they offer money they supposedly can't aoffrd? It's bullocks. Now, the wobrs are whining like crybabies because of THEIR stupid decisions.

As much as Malone sucks on the court; the fan deserved what he got. No mercy for the fool. I wish more players would do that when fans 'heckle' them.

K, we're ragging on malone as he is pathetic. A pathetic old man who should be retired not dragging down his teammates for selfish reasons.

Hehe. :D

Quiq: Are ya drunk? KOTOR was very much a homage to the original SW. It was its very goal from the characetrs to the story to everything that occured. Geez.. You think you know this stuff; but you don't. In fact, the devs who made KOTOR have said that was their goal. Silly newbies calling people who disagree with them newbies. Gunslinger: Hope you like those pom poms! As for the Rakata, I like them. theyw ere mostde finitely one of the more inetretsing races in KOTOR. Bring 'em on.

Huh? It's been basiclaly the same people posting. LOL Define "this many".

malone and payton should be fired; they are hurting not helping the team good job all around by detroit espicialy in limting that young dude's play once again, if the lakers lose it's malone and paton's fault; if the lakers win they'll win in spite of those two dips***s That is all. :angry: Detroit leads 2-1, and they better not win anymore as I said Lakers would win in 5, or 6. :D

Malone should not be playing. What a selfish moron.

No. The lakers won last night in spite of Malone. theyw on because of Shaq, Kobe, and the young dude who played pretty well.

Rules are meant to be broken.

I laugh at Vancouver. Everyone was worried about NYers throwing a tantrum if they lost and celbrating too aggreisvely if they won. Yet it was Vancouver fans who acted pathetic. LOL What's even funnier, my fave team won that year!

No. They made a judgement call which they are allowed to. Replay si there if the ref has doubt. He didn't. Of course, I don't trust NHL refs anyways as theya re often morons but c'est la vie. I agree, though, the series could have gone eiher way. Calagry earned their way through. However, Tampa earned the Cup.

Please. No one can defend against Shaq. Not even Wallace. If the Lakers do lose; it's gonna be because of morons like Payton and Malone. The idiots. Heck, those twoa re a waste of space for the Lakers as they bring the entire team down. Bottom line is Detroit's chances of winning it all are very, very low. Afterall, look at how they BLEW it tonight. they choke. If that was that the Lakers people would be all over them for selfishness and choking and everything else. But, Detroit does it, and "at least theyw ere close". LOL This is the NBA Finals. Detroit has no exuse. Theya re one of the top 2 teams (LOL). The thing is people do this for one reason to put LA ina no win situation. If the Lakers win; it's ebcause they 'should' win. if they lose it's because they choke, and aren't 'team players". Lakers have proven for years now theya re very much a tam - a damn good team. It's up to Detroit to prove they can hang with them for the long haul.

I nominate myself. As the pwner (whatever that is supposed to mean) I can overrule your rule. As for evidence, threads get off tracked and full of flames usually centered around me even when I'm not even really involved. WOWSERS! That's pwnage. The fact that the baord is about equally divided between which gender I am (not to mention those who think i'ma bot) is even more eviudence. The fact that this thread will basiclaly come down to flaming me is more proof.

Calgary deserved to lose. theyw eren't the best team. 1. I didn't watch game so I can't say. 2. Even the Calgary coach stated the replay was inconclusive, and this guy has been bias against the officials from day 1 whining about somee mythical conspiracy. Bottom line is the better team won.
