Off Topic · Hockey - it's on strike, and does Jimmy crack corn? (page 1)

It's not around, and there's no stupid scores being reported before my beloved Knicks.

It still suhucks as a sport. Say no more.

Yes, it's sarcasm. Put your sticks and gloves down.

Doesn't anyone care, but me?

Seriously, how does a sport possibly cancel two entire seasons in the same decade and survive?

Hockey, what's that? Is that when you pretend your sick in bed, so you don't have to go to school, take your Dad's prized car, and go out on the town with your 2 best friends?

well, I miss the shit out of hockey... I love it. And hockey has more hot female fans than any other sport. So it's also a great ticket for may reasons...

anyway, if they lost ANOTHER season, I'm out. It's unbelievable. Since the Rangers won the Cup, there's been 3 lockouts and 1 strike. It's unfuckingbelievable

I live in this weird cable abyss. If hockey is on about 1/5 of the Knick games are blacked out for Sabre games. Sabres have a dedicated hd channel but also get all 4 msg feeds. I have friends 2 miles away that get all of the Knick games. I like puck but I love basketball and the Knicks. It ruins my night if I can't get the game on twc. I still watch it streaming but the Sabres on 5 channels while the Knicks aren't broadcast is just dumb. I call every time it happens and each time the guy I speak with is like Frosty the Snowman when they first put the magic hat on. Would switch to Direct Tv but my wife loves cable.

This. The new UK argument ender.

I'm actually thinking about spending $120 on an antenna so I can pick up stupid 98.7FM on my home stereo system. My wife has a problem with my reaction to NBA cheerleaders/dance teams/softcore hos, so I am not getting cable or DTV any time in this millenium.

Back on topic.

Hockey sucks still.
And it's still gone. Yeah, I like to gloat. Sue me.

We beat the Sac tonight and go 2-1 on the road trip.

If it weren't for the stupid Jests, we would be all the sports news there is.

Hockey is all but dead for yet another season. It is to cry. Not.

The Stupid Bowls are over.
Baseball is sleeping peacefully.
It's almost over two months until March Madness.
There's no NFL playoff soup for you, NYC.
The N*yets are back to being irrelevant.

I love it when there's absolutely nothing else to talk about but the Knicks.

this does not suck and here's an example of why hockey won't ever completely die off

how much worse was last season in NBA? The NFL started off rough and ultimately got better. That was the Rangers third game and I got to see a masterpiece

It still su[b]cks. Why couldn't it stay dead?

Move to Canada.

You get cut by a hockey team as a kid?

Get a puck in the mouth watching a game?

fear 5 ugly and angry white guys with sticks, foreign accents and blades on their feet?

Few yrs ago I had a problem with the sabres killing Knicks games I called MSG in NYC and complained they told me it's my local cable problem. So I called the local TWC then they awitched the knicks games on a local cable station and the image wasn't as good.

Now when the sabres play they they moved the knicks to MSG+ . I still don't understand how Madison Square Garden based out of NYC allows the local teams here upstate over ride the beloved Knicks who play in MSG.

the Sabres wouldn't sign a deal with MSG Network if their content wasn't guaranteed to air in their home market

Played street hockey as a kid. Fast and wiry. Was not too bad, too, as I recall.
Got a fastball in the mouth once off a foul tip. Pucks don't get that high off the ground.

I fear only 9 ugly and angry multicolored guys with shorts, kicks and true athleticism.
Blades and girdles and sticks and gloves, I no fear them.

I hate anything that deters sports reporting from my beloved blue and orange.
But you knew that already, didn't you?
Stop the reverse stalking. You're freaking me out.
