re: NHL 2023-2024 Thread

Bruins have gone really, really cold at the wrong time. 1 goal in the last two games. A loss is a loss but it would have been preferable to lose 4-2 as opposed to 2-0. They did not look good tonight. Montgomery will be coaching for his job in game 7. He will almost certainly be fired if he loses con...

First goal that got disallowed was basically correct I think, but Tampa got hosed on that second one. That looked like a good goal to me. Cerelli was fighting for position with the defender and barely skirted the blue paint. It was just a screen more than outright interference. Bad call, FLA very lu...

Toronto outplayed again. Boston just the better team, with a better goalie and vastly superior pp. Toronto got nothing going in that game until the 3rd period when they were already down 3 goals. Bissonette (one of the anchors on the TBS intermission coverage) was seriously pissed after that gam...
Illinois will get run out of the gym this half. You can’t shoot this poorly and hang with UCONN. UCONN by 15+ ...
Tennessee is getting killed on the transition game. Every time Texas gets a rebound they are getting the ball out to a guard and running the floor for a layup. ...
Seems like St. Mary’s shooting went pretty cold in this game, and GCU is faster and more athletic. GCU also has like 9 blocks ...

re: HOW DID FAU NOT TAKE A TIME OUT

Posted by wertheimer on 3/22/24 at 1:58 pm
I agree that this was a real head scratcher. They got the ball out quickly and got across half court and had around 5 seconds left — I thought they would take a timeout to set something up but instead the guy slowed down and ended up taking a forced, contested 3. Not the best way to approach that si...

Man KC is making some plays but the refs have missed a number of holds by their o line. It’s actually crazy. ...

Pluto TV with the best commercial so far lol. Alright now we can get back to the action. Gotta wonder if the Greenlaw injury becomes more significant in this half. If SF d line keeps controlling the LOS, I think they will win it. ...

What’s the story on the Lions kicker?? Is he not any good or something — I thought he was a passable nfl kicker Campbell is a bonehead. ...

Regardless of the calls at the end of the half (linemen did not need to do all that for the play to work btw — it’s a screen, don’t drag the guy down at all) Baltimore is in some trouble due to their offense. They got nothing going after that one td — all punts and a turnover ...

Wth happened in this final lol?? How did Medvedev collapse in this fashion? And, lastly, what’s up with pro players blowing 2 sets to love leads in this tournament? I didn’t watch last nigh — I will try to catch some replay coverage today. Congrats to Sinner — he deserves a major win with how he...

Damn, Alcaraz just doesn’t have it today. About to go out in straight sets. Zverev has been really solid though — very few unforced errors and making a lot of 1st serves. ...

They are probably on here b/c the big ten boards suck and, despite all of its insufficiencies, tRant is better and more fun to keep up with. We give them a hard time b/c it’s fun to jab on message boards, but it’s sometimes not bad to have fanbases from other conference teams. ...
I have wondered this same thing. Without divisions, how are you supposed to select the two best teams from the conference ? I suppose you defer to ‘ranking’ — and that’s the current plan, correct? But what happens when you have 3 11-1 sec teams, with no head to head matchups, or 1 11-1 and 2 10-2...

I guess he wants to go up there and get beat by Mich and/or in the post season when it matters most, as opposed to coming to UGA and winning a title. His loss — UGA will be fine. Would have been a nice pickup though — not gonna deny that. Everyone knows Ryan Day is all hat no cattle. His footbal...
