Fire-exit sneak is so 1980s. It's all about the movie hopping sneak.

If everybody ran off to join the military, then there'd be no one left running to economy the fund said military.

Selanne? Selanne got the Masterton Trophy? What did he do to deserve it? <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> IIRC he did bounce back from some serious knee injuries and had a pretty solid year. If it was done after the playoffs, Rem Murray would have got it IMO.

I'm guessing Jagr didn't win the Hart Trophy.

In before close.

No...more like Sin: Emergence.

I actually think he's very strong on the puck. I didn't see him a whole lot either though....some feel he has a tendency to dive though. He certainly got a reputation for being a bit of a whiner too. All in all he has sick skills though.

Nah, you just misunderstood me. I wasn't being sarcastic, I was asking about which player won a championship without another Hall-of-Fame type player (the Hakeem Olajuwon answer).

Who do you think Pittsburgh goes for?

Isn't the HD-DVD drive for the XBOX 360 an addon peripheral?

I drafted Sanguinetti in my game of EHM.

Yeah, there was a questionable play regarding a Hersey Hawkins drive to the net that could have tied/won the game.

They lost to the Magic in 6. (with Horace Grant jumping and celebrating in the United Center, playing against his old team).

#1: Erik Johnson 2-5 are a tossup between Toews, Kessel, Backstrom, and Staal. After that, I'm not so sure. The initial prognosis is that this draft isn't particularly deep. Though drafts are a crapshoot anyways, so we won't really know for a few years.

Not really. He was checking to see if FSAA and HDR were both working from what I can tell.

Yes, Epiphany played us all.

I think that's the point.

He went away, and they proceeded to lose to the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference Semis in 7th and final game, after putting up an impressive 55 win season (2 less than the year before). The Knicks were the team that went to the finals that year, losing in the Finals in 7 games as well. The following year they struggled, but still won , but they also had to endure the loss of other key players on their team, namely All-Star Horace Grant. Bill Cartwright also retired, and while he wasn't looked upon to score like he was in the early 80s, he still (with Grant) provided the solid interior defense necessary. The second year Jordan was gone, they had to rely on players like Will Perdue and Toni Kukoc to defend the other team's big men. Not a pretty picture. The only remaining contributors from the 1993 that won the championship two years earlier were Scottie Pippen and BJ Armstrong. Unless you think a 55-win season, a first round sweep of Cleveland, and a 7th game loss to the eventual Eastern Conference champions that were one game away from winning the whole thing was "doing nothing," then I don't know what you're talking about. You said that one player can take you from last place to first place. I naturally assumed by first place you meant championship. If you actually meant first place in the season standings, you'd still be wrong.

THat's about the only excuse I'd accept.

Shouldn't you be ordering the mass retreat of the Red Army about now?

I hate it when people equate the "selling XBOX at a loss" as "Microsoft doesn't make any money whatsoever with the XBOX."

6 Titles actually. Thanks for coming though. And it wasn't until he had the better team. Before that, they used to get chewed up and spat out by Detroit Pistons. Notice how none of those high school kids won anything this year? The only time Kobe won was when he happened to also have the most dominating player in the game on his team. Not even Shaq can win on his own though. He had a solid team and Duane Wade this season.

Ah yes, the good ol' dream. Kenny Smith was clutch. He nailed that 3-pointer to send it into OT when Mr. Not-so-clutch Nick Anderson blew the 4 free throws :D In the span of two playoffs, Hakeem smacked around the three other dominant centers. I particularly loved how he schooled David Robinson the day he received the MVP award in '95. EDIT: @ Skynet, I know who Scottie Pippen is.

Michael Jordan took a (3rd) last place team to a team that barely made the playoffs and was subsequently crushed in the first round of the playoffs the first three years he played. Who's that Laozi? The only people I can think of are waaaaay old school people, like George Mikan.

I'm curious what your take is on digitial distribution possibly allowing for more niche games.
