my favourite sport is either baseball or hockey:

baseball, Blue Jays



hockey, Bruins



football, Dolphins



basketball, Thunder



and boxing......but not that ufc garbage.

[The Thompsons]

Sure do:








How about the NHL playoffs? A few upsets with both Van. losing and New York on the ropes. Pit was also a bit of an upset but I expected Philly to win in 7 not 6.

I'm also a golf fan and was into boxing until the Tyson/Holyfield incident...

[zach]

sweet, a fellow fan of the jays. tied for tops in division! nice game this afternoon.

nhl playoffs have been pretty great so far. i was happy with philly winning cause i hate crosby. nice to see VAN ousted tonight, can't stand them either. ooo must of sucked seeing detroit get kicked by nashville. the bruins are going to game 7, can't wait for wednesday.

[Mozy]

Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Red Wings, and Chicago Bulls are my favorite teams!

[The Thompsons]

Yeah, but Nashville has arguably the best goalie in the league, Howard's still on the way up. I was also cheering for Philly and LA as I am also not a Crosby backer and my opinion of Van dropped even further after last year's shenanigans. The Bruins/Washington series has been back and forth, should be a good game seven.

I'm a Jays fan by default, gotta support Canada's team. I'm also a closet Mets fan but they've been horrible for quite sometime now so I don't like to admit it.

[Mozy]

BRING BACK THE MIKE VERNON/PATRICK ROY DAYS!

[The Thompsons]

My all time favourite image from the rivalry. It sums it up quite nicely:

[Mozy]

MCCARTY WAS SUCH A SCRAPPER! Man, do I ever miss those days. All I have to say about the Wings right now is, Pavel Datsyuk is the man!

that bruins/canucks finals last year was so fantastic. after Vancouver diving and all that, now they're the most widely hated team by fans and players.

yeah today's bruins game had me on the edge of my seat. i would've hated to see them go in OT.

ha, mets. blue jays unloaded some awful pitchers to them. Frank Francisco and Jon Rauch. but i did love when Jon Rauch went nuts last year.



i do really like David Wright and Jason Bay on the mets though.

[Mozy]

I would agree with you both, Vancouver has gone down quite a bit in my book because of the unnecessary rioting.

On a side note, we should make this thread a "favorite sports fights" thread!

[The Thompsons]

The Mets do have some bats but Santana will have to put the rotation on his shoulders. I agree their pitching is quite shaky.

[zach]

man i hate patrick roy so much.....and his son.

[The Thompsons]

That's all for now...

[zach]

i prefer newer brawls. i guess cause i've lived through them and watched them live.

one of the greatest games i've seen.

[leprechaun_dan]

My country's rugby team. Rugby is similar to American football by the way

[zach]

i don't get rugby, the rules and stuff.

[The Thompsons]

Alright then...





Love Rick Jeanneret's commentary.

[zach]

yeah that's more like it! i love Rick Jeanneret.

[The Thompsons]

Going back to the oldies, this got Canada kicked out of the World Junior's:

[zach]

huh i always thought that was the brawl where they shut off the lights in the arena to make everyone stop fighting, i guess i thought wrong.

[The Thompsons]

Watch @ 3:19...

[zach]

Watch @ 3:19...

haha oh it is. i just skipped to the end at first.

[zach]

Matt Kemp with 9 bucko dingers already.

[The Thompsons]

He's definetly a favourite for the NL MVP this year. I think Magic Johnson and co. should do good things for the Dodgers in the future.

Well I'm out, back to the old grind tomorrow....

that's for sure.
see ya.

[leprechaun_dan]

Yeah, rugby's not all that hard to understand. It's similar to American football

[Oh, that's raspberry!]

I'm a baseball fan first, football fan second, and hockey fan only around the playoffs and mainly because my brother is so passionate about the Flyers. Hope they win it all this year, for him, but it is fun taunting him since they seem to blow it in the playoffs every year lately, just like the Eagles back when they made the playoffs seemingly every year with Donovan as QB.

So yeah I'm a Philly sports fan(don't care about the Sixers at all though) but my main team has to be the Phillies. I was a fan since around 2001 so I was there when they were pretty bad, but we've had a very good run since 07 or so. I remember that magic playoff run in 08 like it was yesterday. Sadly watching them this season has been an effort in self-mutilation. I really don't see them making the playoffs this year, their offense really is that horrible. I guess we had a good run, but it is a shame how they're wasting such good pitching. Couldn't even beat the Padres...
