excuse me sir. I'm probably more Philly located/bred than 90 percent on here.

And i cannot attest to what mr bettman would in fact do.

All I care about is systematically eliminating the condoning of how the rangers play in the spring as "playoff hawkey"

I thought that was how Boston played in the spring. Or is that , "playaff hackey?"

What is a penalty?
- jmatchett383

good question.

its a mythical being that evaporates in the mid may sun.

I can't hear

What??

Jeff (Dan, according to Ek) Petry is not exactly "selling high."
- jmatchett383

At least he didn't call him 'Rob'.

boston plays that way as well. however, im not naive enough to think that boston would cease to be a good team with proper officiating. theyre just damn good, especially that year.

the rangers on the other hand? (frank) them.

Pot and kettle.
I think.
Or something.

I'm a Steelers fan, because I like football teams that enjoy winning more than money and public image.

Am I also 0% Philly?

Time is irrelevant in baseball. You could theoretically have a 5-hour half-inning in baseball.
In football, the refs just spin the wheel of every play and throw a flag when the wheel commands it.
Basketball, I can't even understand what a foul is any more.

In hockey, the reason a penalty isn't called late in a game the same way as it is earlier is because oh how important each goal is in a game, and because, if a game has gone 50+ minutes evenly, you'd hate for one team to lose based on a potentially minor infraction.

That said, I agree with you 100%.
- jmatchett383

allow me to clarify. time was applied to in baseball in reference to your respective place on the continuum of the game. yes, the conventional, temporal meaning of time ultimately does fail to describe it properly in that sport, so allow me to instead substitute "inning".

a pitch that is a strike on the first pitch of the third inning, should be a strike on the last pitch of the ninth.

And that QB is a real great guy, too

i enjoy going back and forth with you, so dont take this too personally (or do i guess?) but,

you say A LOT of really incomprehensible things.

and that one right there manages to somehow reign supreme, a veritable overlord of the slum of irrationality.

Well, we can't all have team that were more than happy to employ convicted dog murderers.

I don't see how the 2 are related, but okay.

a real person from philly wouldn't root for the penguins you can't argue that any way

at least he didn't rape women

Why not? Why does being from an area mean you have to root for that area-specific team? I've never understood this.

at least he didn't rape women
- 2Real

Which he was never convicted of in a criminal court.

Petry for Lecav ?

Is this a joke?

No, I like the Steelers. Much like I liked the Flyers. Doesn't mean I like all of their players.

Have the Sharks collapsed yet?

- 2Real

i most certainly can.

first off, for as much as i love hockey. I fail to see how one's hockey allegiance has somehow been anointed as the barometer through which we measure one's percentage of somehow being a particular city.

in its plainest terms, being "from a city" is nothing more than a mere geographic coincidence or choice, depending on your respective circumstance.

by this logic, does a vegetarian fail to qualify as a real philly person because they dont scarf down the famous cheesesteaks?

do i up my philly quotient because im currently on North broad street eating a soft pretzel?

excuse me sir. I'm probably more Philly located/bred than 90 percent on here.

All you care about is yourself and your parents lack of hometown hockey education has led you to be a front running Penguins fan?

Is that what you're saying sir?

(says the Chicago Bears fan with bad parenting)

Is this a joke?
- PhillySportsGuy

I can still see a PHL-EDM trade going down this season.

Schenn+Akeson for Perron ?

Lecav+Akeson for Arcobello+Petry ?
