nyrangers commented on the worst thing to ever happen to hockey

Well, that's why I would hope it would become at least the #4 sport, in the top-four where it belongs with the NBA, NFL and MLB. To answer your question, they should have NBA playoffs on ESPN and the NHL playoffs on ESPN2. Also, aren't NBA games usually on TNT or ABC anyway? As mentioned before, having NHL games on another major network would help, or even a channel like SPIKE. I think the two leagues could work out something between the six or seven major networks, and also the timing for the playoffs aren't right in alignment, I think NHL playoffs start earlier (although they may be more equal because of the Olympics). As long as ESPN covered the playoffs, not nessesarily meaning airing games, they are doing something. Even if it's gradual and takes five years before it's recognized, I'll take it.Well, that's why I would hope it would become at least the #4 sport, in the top-four where it belongs with the NBA, NFL and MLB.

nyrangers commented on What happened to Riley James ????

Hmm I didn't know my opinion could be wrong. Thanks for creating a thread that doesn't allow me respectfully post my thoughts on the subject just because it contradicts your views. I also appreciate the time you took to at least consider what I wrote as a possible thought on the matter, as I respectfully did for you, despite my disagreement. And to be fair, this thread doesn't really have a subject to post thoughts on anyway, so meh. I enjoyed the personal attack as well, despite me being as respectful as possible. Those are always nice.Hmm I didn't know my opinion could be wrong.

nyrangers commented on Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward has his leg cut by a skate in game vs Blue Jackets. Yikes.

On NHL.com they mentioned that blood was dripping for him and that it appeared a skate cut neared his groin area. I was just like "oh s**t"

nyrangers commented on the worst thing to ever happen to hockey

To be honest I was very young and had no idea what was going on when hockey was acknowledged on ESPN. I still feel that ESPN has such a grasp on the common sports fans that they would be compelled to at least consider hockey and the NHL. However I feel as if we agree on some of the same points -- that the NHL needs more exposure, and the whole catch-22 thing you mentioned. The main point of my original post was that not nearly enough games are on the air on major networks for everyone to see...ABC, NBC, FOX, etc. And as you said they won't put games on the air until ratings improve but ratings won't improve until games are on major networks. So in a way that's why I believe ESPN is the kicker for this, because people will watch whatever they put up there and if they gradually talk more and more about hockey people will become more and more interested.To be honest I was very young and had no idea what was going on when hockey was acknowledged on ESPN.

"I did not ask a question that was something to agree or disagree with, just a question asking for information" Exactly. This thread singles out 98% of the Q population by limiting people who can answer to moderators or someone who knew what happened. Which is why I said this thread was not nessesary and went on to explain why you should have PMed someone of power rather than create a question that is open to everyone, full knowing that only a select few could actually answer. Like I said before, I'm not being negative, I'm trying to make this site better and cleaner, and one way to clean the site up is to rid of polls that single out specific members and/or do not pose a question that leaves for any sort of discussion. Again, not an attack on you but this poll does not leave anything open for any kind of discussion other than if the deletion of the profile was warranted or if the rules are valid, etc, which should not be done publicly"I did not ask a question that was something to agree or disagree with, just a question asking for information" Exactly.

I didn't bother to read your rant past the first sentence because, contrary to what you believe, you have no idea what my intetions were, and never at any point in my life have I had any animosity towards you, nor have I ever intended to be "nasty" towards you. I still don't. My one point in this thread was to tell you that this entire thing should not be created because it stirs more to the pot that shouldn't be there, which is what I feel is correct. If you're going to create a thread, prepare to deal with people that both agree and disagree with you.I didn't bother to read your rant past the first sentence because, contrary to what you believe, you have no idea what my intetions were, and never at any point in my life have I had any animosity towards you, nor have I ever intended to be...( more)

A) I wasn't being nasty, I was simply saying that this was not nessesary, as I'm sure many would agree with. If you really want to get something done, ask someone DIRECTLY who knows and can efficiently answer your question, rather than making a scene, if you will. B) I hate EVERY poll that singles out a single member, whether it's wondering where the went, congratulating them, trying to make a funny comment about them, or any poll that comments about ONE member. Don't think I singled you out EDIT: hmm, intended for Bigbasin, wasn't replying to myself, I'm not actually crazyA) I wasn't being nasty, I was simply saying that this was not nessesary, as I'm sure many would agree with.

nyrangers commented on Tom Brady might be as delusional as Joey Porter... just in a different way.

"For starters... if you can't influence a call, then why even try? Don't give the appearance that you're trying to influence the refs." To be fair, he never said that he couldn't influence a call, rather that he is "unsure if he's ever influenced a call." Still, we all know he knows that he has a moderate amount of power over the officiating and that he does get the benefit of the calls, just like most of the QBs who aren't built like linebackers in the league."For starters... if you can't influence a call, then why even try?

I love Photoshop. It's so much fun just to screw around with random pictures and to see what you can come up with. A good waste of time

nyrangers commented on How many goals will Alex Ovechkin score this season?

Hahahahahaha. Learn hockey. Why in the hell would Ovechkin fight, putting himself in the box for five minutes when he could score 26 goals in those five minutes instead? Plus, who says he is a good fighter? He would be a dumbass if he fought often, even though I have confidence that he would rip his oponent apart.Hahahahahaha. Learn hockey.

nyrangers commented on the worst thing to ever happen to hockey

I'll throw a third opinion in here (geez, 30-something comments between two people, that has to be a record). The NHL can be saved and become one of the top-four sports again, as it should be, if ESPN does their job and acknowledges it. This means covering it on shows such as SportsCenter, playing games every once and a while (even if it's on ESPN2) and possibly creating a time slot dedicated to hockey (NHL Live or something like that). Having games on VERSUS doesn't really accomplish anything, since only half the nation (US) gets the station and few people have NHL Center Ice, so they only get TV of their local team(s) and a few surrounding teams like division rivals. But if ESPN starts to talk about hockey for a reasonable amount of time and shows highlights from every game like the other three major sports get and analyzes aspects of the game, then the NHL will become a respectable sport in the eyes of the general nationI'll throw a third opinion in here (geez, 30-something comments between two people, that has to be a record).

nyrangers commented on Going for Broke - Fan IQ

This is all kind of absurd. You bash the site and claim that the only reason you're sticking around is because you have yet to find one better, or similar. That in itself is a bold contradiction. I know you know that everything can't be perfect. You really think that everyone who runs the site or has some authority on this site doesn't care about what the members think? Really? Tell that to everyone, like Ty and Jess, who spends HOURS trying to improve the site and make it friendly for everyone. Who's fault is it if members join and create unintelligent polls? Anyone can join, comment, and participate in the activities, which is one of the site's best features; you can't stop these things from happening. You're being a bit self-centered and looking at the site as some godly being that should be perfect in every way and cater to your desires. Also, this poll really doesn't help anything. Nothing at all. If anything it's an attempt, intentional or not, to sabatoge the site's being and possibly deter members from joining and participating.This is all kind of absurd.

It is the best trade by default, because have the Kings even made any trades since trading for Gretzky other than sending Sean Avery to New York for a few scrubs?

Not a fan of any of them...I'd go with Sportsnet or *gasp* ESPN. I don't know what TSN is thinking...Buffalo first and Phoenix third? They're both flukes. At least Phoenix is.
