OT Pittsburgh Penguins vs. San Jose Sharks Stanley Cup Finals Series Thread

[Mediocre Man]

How so? Link with definitive proof? I'm honestly curious.

It didn't happen

 

[BigGameDamian]

No he didn't. Not even a bit. Paul Allen agreed to buy the team. It was done. At the 11th hour, Mario LeMieux came in on his fucking white horse and saved the franchise

Bottom line is, If Paul really wanted NHL in Portland we would already have one.

Any knowledge as to how it's supposed to work financially? Have you broken down how much it would cost him, the taxpayers, etc? Did you see if the interest of the sport here would be realistic to the financial undertaking he would have to do? Did he think it was viable?

Wanting and needing are two vastly different things.

Bottom line is, you have no idea what he wants. So stop trying to speak for him. Your posts tell me you suck at it.

It's a completely separate discussion. Paul Allen WANTED the Penguins and years later WANTED the Coyotes. Paul Allen wants to buy an existing team, not get an expansion team because that would cost millions and millions of dollars more. He also does not want to buy a healthy team and move it.

It was Saturday night with Frank Bonnema. Learn the fake sport, then post

Haha. I just remember watching it with my grandpa. That was the one show he stayed up "late" to watch, and he never missed it.

Bro who DAFUK cares?!?

 

[Daweez04]

Does anyone know of a Pittsburgh backer bar in the PDX area? Would be fun to actually watch a game with other fans.

If not, anyone know of a Hockey bar in general?

 

[santeesioux]

Isn't that Arizona team that PA tried to buy like a year or two ago still on shaky ground? I also think there were supposed to be some expansion teams this summer, although they sounded to expensive for what he wanted to pay.

Maybe it's my Swedish ancestry talking, but I'd totally get into hockey if we had a team.

Hockey's been shit since Chex LeMeneux retired.

Sandy Barr.

My first date was to Portland wrestling in the 2nd grade. I ended up dating that girl in high school. Dutch Savage helped get me laid

I was born in San Jose and my aunt used to work public relations for the Sharks so everytime we would come down to visit family when I was a kid we would get tickets to go watch a couple of games.

Awesome. My uncle was the team chaplain for the Raiders back in the 70's. That's how I became a fan of them. He used to send me all this memorabilia and I could go to games and back in the locker room a couple times when we would visit. Funny how you become fans of certain teams, I think

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sharks need to win this game!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Aright ladies, this games going in to overtime!

 

[BigGameDamian]

No pussy ticky tack bull shit calls in the NHL like you see in the NBA.

 

[Daweez04]

Pens up 2-0! boom!

No, it's a big boy sport. No flopping or bitching about it either

You actually get a penalty for flopping. It's great.

Go fake Portland !!!!!!!

Yep. Also can't a play off or you end up looking out of your ear hole

You can literally pummel a guy with a club and get 2 minutes in the penalty box! What's not to like? I grew up playing pond hockey, 3 on 3, rough ice, homemade sticks and frozen cow pies for pucks....always thought Oregon would be a great place for a hockey franchise. If you like hockey...check out rugby 7 nations cup play sometime....80 minutes of pure sport...no timeouts unless someone is injured...you get knocked down in rugby you can get up and keep running..my relatives in New Zealand got me hooked on it and I like it way better than American football..

I love rugby. I played it out in West Lynn several years ago. My son plays it now in club sport here in Texas

 

[BigGameDamian]

I'm pissed because I will miss the game tonight! Wish I could say the same when I miss a game in this NBA series.

I love that anybody on the team can kick it through the uprights for 3 points anytime on the run, whatever...rugby rocks!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Go Sharks!!

 

[BigGameDamian]

NHL post season beats NBA post season every season.

 

[BigGameDamian]

What a save!

 

[BigGameDamian]

Sharks win!! The series goes on. Witch mean a few more bumps.
