Congrats Kontiki. At least my showing wasn't embarrassing this year. (unlike others)
I thought no one would catch Snoop after his first round.

Congrats Kontiki.

Pretty decent showing for not paying attention to the regular season!

ACK!

[Sava]

The Hawks signed Brad Richards for $2 million?

I guess he wants to win a cup next year.

also, toews and kane get new deals

[Sava]

Ugh. No. Just No.

I hate expansion.

Are they due for another lockout yet? I keep trying to like hockey but they keep having labor disputes and aren't on tv anymore (except a weekly sunday game after football season and a channel I don't get because I see no reason to pay any amount for hockey).

Also ESPN says the NHL says expansion is not imminent.

[snoopy369]

To be fair, NBC Sports Network will probably be in mainstream cable packages soon; it is in Comcast where I live for example (if you get ESPN you get it).

[ColdWizard]

Two tiers higher on Dish, currently.

[snoopy369]

Right; it's one of those things that they renegotiate on a timed basis, so maybe Comcast has it the same while Dish will when they next renegotiate their deals. But NBC is trying to get it promoted to be somewhat of a competitor to ESPN (nobody's ever thought of doing that before, right?).
