Avs in 7

vasawhatever is still the best goalie playing so it's up to the Avs find a way. hope they get Naz back and he can pick up where he left off.

I’m sure there is a lighting striking 3 times joke somewhere that I don’t care to make.

 

[chester]

of course, the lightning have an "extremley probable" chance that Point will be back so....and the avbs can't decide on who to start in net and neither are vasarussian so...yikes.

Bolts in 6. They win on talent and experience And from what we’ve seen in this series ruthlessness.

Is it possible this is the Lightning’s most impressive journey yet?

John Romano | They’ve come from behind. They’ve won without Brayden Point. And they’ve knocked off three 50-win teams.

Congrats on your Bolts doing it again, are you tempted to give up on SEC NCAAF and become an NHL fan even if the New Nordiques take your team?

I have plenty of bandwidth for sports outside SECF. For instance the Gators just won the NCAA (Mens and Womens) track and field championship. I have bandwidth for sailing , BB, cycling, even Soccer if it’s World Cup time. The only sport and have zero bandwidth for is Baseball a truly silly sport on the same level as cricket.

While I respect your opinion, I don't share it. Baseball is a profoundly beautiful sport. Incredibly difficult, mathematically balanced, and stunning to watch.

One thing about baseball that I have come to appreciate, is that it scales with age and ability so well. A youth league with 60 foot and even 50 foot baselines, and the correspondingly shorter hypotenuse for the pitching mound, allows children to play baseball with timing and ability that makes it as exciting as the major leagues with 90 foot baselines and longer hypotenuse for the pitching mound. Too many sports have too small of a variation in playing surface between amateur and professional.

I saw a non-Newtonian analysis of baseball pitching and throwing speeds with air friction between children and adults, and it is remarkable how well the field scales with arm strength and hitting strength.

Fucking Rangers.
That's all I have to say.

Go Av's PLEASE!!!!!

You've historically been pretty loose with physics terminology. Explain in layman's terms what the above says!

Last night was shit hockey. I agree with those who claim you only play up to your competition. Last night was embarrassing to the NYR and Gallant (the year he had 40 goals were mostly bank shots from Yzerman).

I'll ignore your dig at me being "loose" with physics terminology ...

Baseballs moving at high speed through the air don't obey Newtonian physics due to the air drag. While the toss of an 8 year old from shortstop to first base might be essentially Newtonian, a curveball from Dwight Gooden will be so highly nonlinear (non-Newtonian) that the the Newtonian calculation isn't really useful in any meaningful sense, so non-Newtonian corrections are needed.

The base distances (and thus pitching mound hypotenuse) were chosen somewhat arbitrarily through the years because they work. 90 feet works for an MLB team to ensure that a runner gets one base a decent portion of the time, but can be thrown out a decent portion too. The 60-foot and 50-foot baselines similarly work for the younger players ... in a Little League game with 60 foot baselines, the runners can be typically thrown out or make a base.

As it turns out, once the math is applied to typical Newtonian and non-Newtoniaan hitting speeds, throwing speeds, running speeds, etc., the 90-foot, 60-foot and 50-foot baselines scaled really well from MLB down to Little Leagues. There is a reason, it seems why kids can have so much fun playing baseball; the field scales well with their abilities. Basketball can do some of the same by lowering the baskets and using a slightly shorter court, and youth leagues in soccer, lacrosse, hockey and football have similar ways to adjust the difficulty of the game; using larger nets, shorter fields, etc..

You don't even try to get laid. You are so full of shit.

Maybe this is why you don't understand how nature works? The beauty and complexity of it threatens your Nesquik brain?

Two more days to make a pick for the Cup. Tampa and the Avs will play for that, in case you didn't notice.

 

[Cal20sailor]

I'll go with TB and a Lagrangian approach.

Mike, my dick is sore from fucking all weekend and doesn't smell like shit. You?

I might stop hating Colorado after Claude dies but don't count on it.

Not that it matters, but I don't like Claude OR his hand-biting son. And Kris Draper is an eternal hockey god, proof that the smaller players can run the ice. The Blood Feud is now dead with Detroit in the East. Fuck Lemieux.

You still gotta love Vernon kicking the shit out of Roy.

You know about as much about hockey as you do NCAAF (not very much). That was good hockey from a great team. The Rangers did not play badly they were just very tired and significantly down on talent to the Bolts other than their goalie. Here’s a good synopsis of the Rangers.

The Rangers will almost certainly learn all the wrong lessons

Introspection is not the strong suit of this franchise, nor of its owner, James Dolan
