You're probably right. I have no doubt about where the interests of the relevant parties lie: the league, the owners, the players and most of the...
Why did they ever allow them to play? I don't think the only reason was to increase ratings, revenues, etc... in the U.S. market. There is also...
It really does create dilemmas for a lot of NHL fans. I was pulling for Team USA but I was also pulling for Russia, Sweden and the Czech Rep....
NHL contracts or not, there are certainly players that will probably ignore the NHL's decision, which hasn't actually been made yet. There is...
I wouldn't say that. I actually like that they go to shootouts in the regular season in the NHL. They don't do that in the playoffs when it...
You mean Olympic hockey. There is plenty of hockey between now and then. Even on an international stage with the World Championships....
Mixed emotions for an American Pens fan. I can't stand Crosby, mostly because he's a great player.
Crosby is the guy you love to hate if he's not on your team. He's an outstanding player. Sigh...

Also, people need to realize that you don't just look at what position an opposing player plays and say he burned our player at the same position....
All I was getting at with this thread is that it's not just our backcourt that should be of concern, particularly if Yao can't come back strong....
Rafer and McGrady were a defensive juggernaut though. Especially the McGrady of the last few years where he put in a solid effort once every 10...
Maybe the warriors frontcourt is worse, but I can't think of too many other teams. How long can we play them together? It doesn't matter how...
We might also have the worst defensive frontcourt in the league.
Well, I think he would have made a difference of maybe a few points, defensively, particualry if he played nearly a full game the night before....
Right, so he goes from bad defensively to worse, as you saw tonight. Both teams were awful defensively. We were just worse. Yes, Lowry and...
