Is it tacky for an Avs fan to wear Nordiques gear? Cause I've totally seen people do this. I never really thought much about it before, but I just realized it doesn't really make sense. Most Colorado fans don't have any connection to the franchise in Quebec. Like I imagine that OKC Thunder fans don't go around in Sonics gear

North Stars gear is fairly common here, though it's not the same situation

which bullpen is worse:

1. Minnesota Twins:
B. Kintzler
T. Rogers
M. Belisle
C. Breslow
T. Duffey
B. Boshers
R. Rosario
A. Wimmers
C. Heston

2. PotD Sports Topic:

word on the street is that Matt Dumba is gonna get traded

Scooter is a great name. I had a friend in high school whose dad's name was Skip. Also a good name but not quite as good as scooter.

The Predators just tied the series

Source? Big if true


Bold predictions:
1 preds win the series in 6 (in smashville)
2 Taylor Swift sings the national anthem game 6

That actually makes me dislike him more. It's so #OnBrand for him to deflect praise like that even when everybody knows he's one of the best.

that's a good point. It was definitely a humble brag, and everyone already knew the list is a joke

Man that was one of the best saves in recent memory, partially due to the fact that it's the Finals

go back to playing eternal card game shoobie

I dislike JJ Watt just a little bit less now https://twitter.com/JJWatt/status/871903238483783680

the bitter Wild fan in me would like to point out that a very similar goal happened to the Wild in last year's playoffs, but the refs called it in favor of dallas

yeah I'm totally gonna check a journalist's/writer's/athlete's/friend's website or vlog before looking at twitter

Does anybody here plan on going to your ten-year reunion/did you go if it already happened? I think we're all around that age.

I was thinking about this recently since mine would be next year. Well, that's if there is one, but I don't know if people even do that anymore.

I don't want to go to mine. I am still in contact with anyone I still care to see.

Also, you can have my high school reunion every Saturday night at the Legion in town.

A friend of mine is a Blackhawks and penguins fan. I wouldn't be sad if he died

Haha yeah between them all they said it like 4 times. Old farts

The Twins become the first the in MLB history to get a triple play https://streamable.com/phi8y

Jeezus I turned it off when it was 1-1.

And the Twins suck again

What's even more amazing is they're doing this in spite of having all their secrets hacked by other organizations.

I saw Miracle in a pre screening way back when it came out. When the US scored people in the theater clapped and cheered like it was an actual live event. Sort of ruined it for me

Does Happy Gilmore count as a sports movie?

I've seen plenty of serious/non children's sports movies like Moneyball, and they can be good movies, but just aren't very memorable for me.

I used to watch stuff like mighty ducks and angels in the outfield. They're probably good only for nostalgia nowadays, unless you love 90s stuff like roller blading montages

I'm watching Cool Runnings. Very good sports movie.

so... a nike polo or something?

no it's not a joke and I just ordered one for my brother

Should I get a Bradford Vikings jersey? I think I'm gonna

nfl is rigged

I thought Pekka's glove was his strong side

and now it's 3-3. we comin

I hope the predators win

I think the twins should trade santana and maybe dozier at some point this season. Even if they do make the playoffs, they're still not good enough to make a run

Mauer is the goat again

when your favorite baseball team is playing, do you:
1. watch the game
2. have the game on but kinda do other stuff while it's on
3. other

Which grocery store

@Rockies was the most correct. He predicted the loss of the @Twins, and the correct inning. Well done @Rockies

Are you referring to Kennys? (no the s is not a type)

Mauer "Coverboy 2x" have been on base 7/7 times this game which I think is good

I am watching the Twins game and I told myself at the top of the 8th that when the game is over, I would actually start doing productive things like cleaning. Now it's the bottom of the 13th. Twins will lose, but how many innings will it take?

chewy you talk about not liking GameFAQs, and yet you make topics like this

Thank you Rockies for the fun historical sports facts and contemporary social commentary

I think all NHL and NFL coaches should wear full pads to show solidarity with the struggle of MLB managers

y tho? because you can't run onto that dusty field in a suit or anything else?

Agreed. With hockey/basketball, sure the coaches seemingly must wear suits, but you're a high profile person and a lot of times you just have to wear a suit.

Football, there's a lot of flexibility, as long as you're wearing something that looks like you're affiliated with the team.

Baseball is ridiculous.

I've always thought it's kinda interesting what coaches for pro teams have to wear:
Hockey: Suit
Basketball: Suit
Baseball: The actual team uniform
Football: Basically whatever the fuck they want as long as it has the logo somewhere

Watch your profanity guys.

I thought the Twins were gonna win then there was a (seemingly, to me) really bad top of the 9th and it's tied now or something.

I think it's safe to say most of us sports topic dudes care least about basketball, yes?

I'm the president of the football-man baseball haters club, and I like baseball a lot more than basketball.

I'm going to play a really long game of Civ 6, wait long enough for Roosevelt to build the city of Pittsburgh, and then nuke it.

It's deceptive yes, and if you watch it a few times it's obvious it's not a goal from that angle. But they showed that on the jumbotron at the game a while after the play actually happened, and it's understandable that fans at the game couldn't process it quickly enough and would understandably get jazzed up.

I'm just saying that the only point of showing deceptive footage of a dead play that's clearly not a goal is to incite a riot or something, which shouldn't be allowed.

Sort of in the same vein as Atlanta pumping crowd noise into their games.

here is the play: https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/867945355576434688

this is what they put on the jumbotron at the game: https://twitter.com/myregularface/status/867946189190082561

also noteworthy, this play wasn't called dead right then, which always happens when a goal was under review. The play was ended well after this moment, and then the jumbotron played the 2nd footage to the fans

When a questionable goal/not goal happens, jumbotrons at the game will always show favorable camera views that make the fans at the game think it's a goal and get them riled up, when a different angle would prove without a doubt that it wasn't a goal. This just happened towards the end of OT1. It's happened many many times in other games too. I think the league needs to regulate this is shown on the jumbotron in these situations.
In this game, it caused all the fans to boo for like 2 minutes nonstop (which doesn't matter) for what was a very obvious non goal, and they also threw shit on the ice.

In this situation, the Pens jumbotron showed all the fans the puck crossing the goal line (at the top of the net) and bouncing around, which looked like a goal from that particular angle. That footage looked like it could be a goal but if you watch one of many better angles, it is very clearly not a goal, but the top of the net angle was the only one shown to fans at the game.

just had the same thing happen to me. Really just ruins my day

Chewy I'm embarrassed for you that you know those statistics

penguins will win tomorrow against Ottawa and beat the predators 4-1 and win yet another stanley cup championship, because that's how the world works.

That being said, the preds' playoff run has been amazing and I have had tons of fun watching it
