I'll stand by my original prediction four posts up ...

TT+ is the best $25 I spend all year (I always use a coupon code).

This sure looks like the Month of Michael on the Mountain. Dunlop is flying!

Who do you think will win the cup? I agree with Ray Ferraro: Vegas in five. But three of those games could be OT. Vegas is too big and too deep for Florida. Plus Bobrovsky was razor sharp because he was playing every other night. That edge could be gone with 10 days off. I see a lot of similarities...

Florida vs. Vegas or Dallas in the SCF. Let's just say Bettman, Daly and their sales and marketing team are hitting the bottle hard in NHL headquarters for the next two weeks. Same with TNT execs. It's a series for hockey fans. No casuals will tune in to see two Sunbelt teams with no crossover stars...

I'm not in the Pagoda, man! I'm on the top floor of the four-story building north of it, steam pouring from my f*cking ears and fingertips.

The similarities between the Florida Panthers and Miami Heat in these playoffs -- especially this round -- are eerie. Two teams exceeding expectations. Two teams with arguably the best head coaches in their respective leagues. Two teams that won the first two games of their respective conference fin...

I mean it’s something that should have been done a decade+ ago but Bettman kept wanting to be near his summer residence. By far his biggest and most stubborn fail as commish. Time to finally let go of his albatross. Of course he won’t expand in Canada while everyone tells him that he should because...

There's no bigger or longer-time Oilers' fan on this board than me, I would guess, so here's my forensic breakdown of a gutting, disappointing loss to VGK in six: -- The Oilers fell in love with their incredible power play and relied on it far too much, especially in the postseason. Vegas was VASTLY...

Again, McDavid has been far more physical this season than in past years. He had no intention to fight Pietrangelo. I'm sure another Oilers' player will take care of that in Game 6 at Rogers.

So Nurse, gets his 1 game suspension while Pietrangelo is waiting for his hearing. An absolute joke if he doesn’t get 1 or 2 for his action. And since Nurse won’t be playing in game 5, I fully expect guys like Kane or Desharnais to step up physically because to have only McDavid trying to defend Dr...

The fact that two of the Oilers' four goals came on bombs from defensemen proves that Woodcroft already has found a solution to Vegas' high pinch on the Oilers' D in its defensive zone. It's Cassidy's turn to respond. Pietrangelo should get a game. But Parros and his clown car wheel of justice can't...

James is correct about cap space with the Oilers. Not too many teams carry dual superstars like McDavid and Draisaitl and their requisite pay stubs. Edmonton also is paying some dumb deals like $3.1 million per season for Yamamoto. I like Kailer, but he's a forechecker -- that's about it. Not worth ...

And if anyone had noticed the likes of Marner, Tavares, Matthews, Nylander, wake me up…

Well, I'm saying the same thing about Nugent-Hopkins, but we Oilers' fans are happy residents of Planet Leon right now.

Toronto? Looking bleak.

It's over. Add another year to the running total from 1967.

Downloaded NHL 23 on EA Play after trying it last fall on EA Play 10-hour trial. Sad to say post-release patches have done nothing to fix this title as a single-player game. It SUCKS, just like it has for at least the last 10 years. The AI plays nothing like real hockey. Guess I'm spoiled by The Show.

Double post. Sorry.

This game is Series X/S only, correct? I tried to download the trial the other night and was denied.

Oh, well: Back to the 2K golf series!

This game is Series X/S only, correct? I tried to download the trial the other night for my OG Xbox One and was denied.

I get the "stale" thing, Piggy and DB. But I'm still enamored as hell with The Show since, as an Xbox-only owner, my first exposure to this terrific franchise came just two years ago.

It's a remarkable team sports game. The best.

I played a quick game as the Tigers on my Xbox One S. Feels similar to last year's game but still fun. I wish I had the time/video game stamina of years past to dive in ;) Don't you mean it feels the same as the last 5 years? The game is boring - yet I continue to play it because I love baseball. T...

Double post. Sorry.

I absolutely detest Max and have little interest in following along to him romping to a third title. Same. As much as he tries to be likeable, something always emerges that shows Max for what he is -- an incredibly talented driver who has been told he is special and better than everyone else in any...

Southern California is really a whole different world than the rest of the United States.

Not to mention car fires. I saw more blazing cars on the freeway roadside in the six months I lived in SoCal in 1993-94 than I've seen combined for the rest of my 57+ years on this planet.

The big question/story about the looming tedium of the F1 season will be its impact on the global F1 boom. Americans are in love with F1 like never before in 2023. Americans also detest extended dominance in any sport. It's why our leagues have salary caps, revenue sharing, free agency, player draft...

I'm OK with the Barrie trade. He's having a super year and is the backline QB of the power play. But the Oilers' PP doesn't depend on him. Maybe this will spur Bouchard to develop into what some people think he can be. The Oilers' biggest problem is defense. That's the weakest area of Barrie's game ...
