Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
I think they should go to the shoot out after one OT in the playoffs.
Not really

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
This. Nothing wrong with a tie. I think they should make it 3 points for a regulation win and 2 for an OT win. It would encourage teams to go for it.Originally posted by FadeToBlack&Gold View PostNHL considering making the spin-o-rama illegal in the shootout
Just eliminate the *ing shootout if you're going to start limiting creative moves, JFC.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
And yet, look at what COULD have been in the past years but wasn't.Originally posted by jen View Postand yet... enough Boston fans still think nothing ever goes their way and complain incessantly. I really wonder if those people actually enjoy sports, or if they just enjoy complaining.
Pats blowing leads against the Colts, and Giants (twice, once with a perfect freaking season on the line). Celtics choking against LA. Bruins ****ing away the #1 seed in 2009, and underachieving last year when had they gotten past Washington, they would've had something like a 13-1 record against the rest of the field. Red Sox almost pulling the comeback against TB in 2008, and imploding in 2011.
Throw out the Sox and B's failings there, because there was no guarantee, but the Pats could've won another 3 Rings, and the Celts with an additional one.
Echoing what others have said though, I'm not complaining. It's been a hell of a ride. I've seen all of my teams win Titles in the past decade. Anything else is gravy. Will I be sad if the Bruins lose? Yep. You don't get many chances at multiple Cups...but they've won once. That's all I really needed. I don't hate Chicago and actually really like the Hawks.UNH Wildcat HockeyComment

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
I've thought for a long time they should be playing five point games.Originally posted by MountieBoyOz View Post
5-0 for a regulation win.
4-1 for an OT win.
3-2 for shootout win.
I'm rarely at Wild games, but when I am, I root for a shootout. Even if afterwards I think it was stupid.

A SO is still OT. Just in different form.
The expanded points are already *ing with team points records. Why screw it up more?Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
Why even play OT? Plus, a shootout at the end of each period where the team that wins gets an extra goal.Originally posted by Bomber View PostComment

Re: My Stanley Cup Runneth Over
No hockey team from a place where it never snows should ever win a championship, except perhaps UAH (they get a special exemption in my book). There is something almost sacriligeous when you can never once play ice hockey outdoors during the winter because it never gets cold enough for water to freeze in the first place!Originally posted by Scarlet View Post"Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."

Reminds me of an old joke, a proper New England lady is vacationing in Central or South America several decades ago, and sees a big crowd going to the local stadium. She asks, "what's going on?" "That's the bullfight" she is told. "it is our favorite sport."
"Ugh, isn't that revolting?" she asks. "No, that's our second-favorite sport" comes the reply."Hope is a good thing; maybe the best of things."
