Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

For some reason, the IIHF double-counts Olympic medals from 1920 through 1968 as World Championship medals. The only "true" World Championship gold for the US came in 1933. They haven't even reached...

That name brings me back. Your one-stop shop for LPGA content.

We should really set him up with the Kayla bot; what an OS power couple they'd make!

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

The reason I don't like Hive as a team name is because it's a structure. It's like calling a team the Nests. If Utah chooses Swarm for the team, then the Hive is a logical (nick)name for their arena.

Mammoth(s), Mountaineers, Yeti(s), Black Diamonds, Blizzard, Swarm are acceptable.

Caribou is okay but is apparently the only member of the North American deer family that's not native to Utah, so...

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

I'm not trying to deny how awful being a Lions fan must be and how bad that loss to the 49ers must have felt. My brother-in-law is a 60-year-old lifelong Lions fan, God help him.

The specific...

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

99%, eh? Hey, I wanted the Lions to win, and I know your pain is still fresh, but... you do realize that the Bills are 3-0 at Arrowhead over the last 3 seasons (while every other team has a combined...

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

I mean, if they immediately return to the Matt Millen era, then sure. I think you're underestimating the brutal nature of the losses I'm talking about. (And they would've been significant underdogs...

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

No 1st round loss qualifies (no matter how embarrassing), and the Leafs' status hasn't fundamentally changed since. I'm talking about golden opportunities for championships that are unlikely to ever...

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

Absolutely zero teams would ever choose an opponent other than the one they'd be facing anyway.

Let's say the Panthers choose the Wings over the Bolts. 100% of the story (in the media, on message...

Yeah, that would be bonkers. Seems more and more like Lindholm was acquired at least partially as Pettersson insurance, and since Petey's now signed and Lindholm hasn't really fit in on the Canucks...

Re: NHL Off-Topic thread

Stags design and colour scheme are drop-dead gorgeous.

Yeti design is okay, but I'd rather it used a late 90s Jazz colour scheme (purple & blue) than the Memphis Grizzlies colours pictured.
