Sometimes The Constellations Line Up

My fav Iranian....
Mika Zibanejad

As an Islander fan I can't really root for the Rangers....but I hope they at least get one series win for you.

BTW.....
Hubby played RightWing on a hockey team where the Islanders used to practice....I think it was Farmingdale

I don't remember ever playing hockey on ice, not even as a kid. I remember the occasional game of street hockey, but that's it. I became an Islander fan seeing my parents cheering for them when they won their cups in the early 80s.

It's been almost 30 years since I lived on Long Island, and maybe 10 years since I was last there to visit.

I can forgive you for being a Rangers fan, but I don't know about being both a baseball and Yankees fan.

I appreciate both the forgiveness and the indictment!


But I'm too far up in my NY sports high right now!

Wadda Day!!!

Just wondering,if the Yanks get eliminated in the first round in the playoffs and the Mets advance,do the Mets become your team to root for the rest of the way? I assume you were cheering them on a couple years ago against the Royals?

If the Mets were playing in the World Series, ....against any team except the Yanks....yup, I'd watch the series and root of the Mets.

Know the old saying "The only time I'd play a crooked roulette wheel is when it's the only wheel in town."

Of course they do!

But.....if the only NY team is available....I'm down wit' it.

Television Thesis


Sometimes it feels like the best way to catch those golden moments in televised sports is to actually sit down and enjoy numerous games (e.g., college football in autumn) and simply wait for those golden moments.

In the meantime, you get some nice camera shots of great school spirit and student-culture atmospherics for various respected American schools such as Penn State (football), Duke (basketball), Notre Dame (football), Stanford (basketball), Georgetown (basketball), and Johns Hopkins (lacrosse).

I credit this type of 'bazaar fanfare' to the creative sports narration of Howard Cosell and John Madden who really revolutionized sports media.

For example, when the Lightning beat the Islanders (my favorite team that year) in the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2016, I was disappointed until the Lightning were beaten by the Penguins (and I saw the whole thing on TV and said to myself, "Wow! Just because I waited for something good to come out of this , I saw the Penguins win the Stanley Cup!").

yeah thats how I am with the Cubs.Have always loved them but had they faced off against my Royals a couple years ago in the world series like I was hoping for since they are my two favorite teams and one would be assured of winning,I would hate to do it but would have to root against the lovable Cubs. as it turned out,it was even better than what I hoped for with the Cubs winning the series one year later after my Royals did.

Yeah when they face each other during the regular season,the new yorkers hate the other team with a passion but as long as the Mets dont play the Yanks in the playoffs,she is a fan of them which is what i was wondering about.

 

[Montrovant]

Ouch! I just watched highlights of game 5 against the Sens. The Rangers were so close.......but just not quite there. A few inches lower on that OT goal hit with a high stick and they'd be up 3-2 instead of down. And how many Rangers did the goal in the third hit that the Sens tied it up on? Sheesh, nail-biter stuff.

This is a very difficult time for me.....thank goodness for the Yankee heroics!

Come from behind wins, last inning HRs, swept the Cubbies......


Now.....the Ragnars.......uh oh

 

[PoliticalChic]

OK.....so what if I'm a front-runner.

I hate the Rangers and love the Yankees.....

...unless the Broadway Blues win Tuesday......

That was WHY I wondering.

I thought that maybe since yankee and mets fans hate each other that the yankee fans would be rooting against the mets when they were in the world series a couple years ago against the royals.some do,some dont and go ahead and root for the mets.not everyone is the same.


Here is MY favorite moment in Yankees history.

as I was saying,here is MY favorite moment in Yankees history. The crowd got soooo silent,you could here a pin drop.



amazingly yankee fans are STILL sore about that to this day EVEN though they had beaten them in the playoffs three times before that.. I was at a yankee/red sox game at fenway park once with my royals stuff on and a yankee fan there said-I heard george brett is a homo.If thats not butthurt i dont know what is.lol

that moment was bittersweet back then for me cause they swept them back then after winning that game where the times the yankees played them before,they always went to five games twice and four games once.they never got swept.

The Sega Satyricon

I was a big fan of World Championship Soccer on the Sega Genesis (1990s), because I would always play with the 2nd best team in the international pool (Italy) and take down the heavyweight team (Brazil).

Sports constellations then were just...purer.

Someone take this 'free-agency' thorn out of my soul.

"Thanks, Neo!"

====

NEO: World Championship Soccer was a Sega classic, and who didn't love the Italy team?
MR. SMITH: Yes, Neo, that was the predecessor to things like Mortal Kombat and Madden Football.
NEO: So how did you go from Italy-Sega to Brady-Orwell?
MR. SMITH: Well, people just don't appreciate the artistry of cyber-design, so we're 'compelling' them.
NEO: You mean with graphic violence in video games?
MR. SMITH: Did you know, Neo, that you can use Leatherface as a combat-character in MKX?
NEO: Well, maybe SimCity will save humanity.
MR. SMITH: How about Olympics video games?
NEO: Steroids controversy has drawn popularity away from high-stakes sports in the media...
MR. SMITH: Maybe ESPN can restore journalistic systems...
NEO: Geez, you sound like Citizen Kane.
MR. SMITH: I'm sure video game 'collectors' prize their copies of Bulls vs. Blazers.
NEO: Well, now you can get ESPN streamed on your iPhone, so who cares, eh?
MR. SMITH: I'm starting to miss The Babe...
