Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Open Playoff Chatter, Day Two

The cup of rum was an offering for you, baseball gods, yet the Dodgers still won.

You have to love the empty seats behind home plate at Dodger Stadium, too. There's no excuse. Traffic? Leave earlier. It's the playoffs. And if that doesn't mean anything to you, give those tickets to someone who gives a damn. I don't think that Dodger fans are the worst fans in baseball; I'm pretty sure that the Dodgers have the lamest collection of high-roller fans in any sport, though.

Here's to a better day. Go Cardinals. Go, uh, markers of an economic uptick as measured by hot dog sales in the Angels/Red Sox game. And go, uh, asteroid hurtling down toward Philadelphia.

Man, this collection of playoff teams is a drag.

This good for a laugh...

Postseason tickets are cheaper this year than last. Well duh! But I like this part the best!

The most drastic example is in Los Angeles, where the average price for the Dodgers’ home playoff games in the first round are selling for $74, about half the $149 they fetched last year, according to market leader StubHub, a unit of eBay Inc. In fact, fans can even buy playoff tickets there for as low as $13.

13 fucking dollars to a post season game! And they have a market size of ~16 M million people!

This is the worst collection of playoff teams I can recall. Maybe there will be an unexpected strike and they will cancel the post-season again. Alternatively, DirectTV is offering free access to the NHL Center Ice for October. I have found myself oddly drawn to it.

Afterwards, leaving the stadium, some Phillies fans were mouthing off – just the type WE WON WORLD SERIES YOU DIDN’T kind of stuff. When the score was pointed out to them, they were like, “Oooh, two sac flies, you’re so great!” I’m sorry, geniuses, how many sac flies did the Phillies get, hmm?

Mariners are the worst.

They just don’t care is all. The whole story up here all year has just been Griffey. They have a great stadium, great beat writer (Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times has probably the best newspaper blog of all the beat writers I’ve seen) but unless the team wins 100 games then they can’t be bothered to care. Even the ones who go just sit in the stadium and talk like they are at a bar. It’s annoying. I miss living close enough to go to AT&T.

Of course, there are some teams who have great seasons and nobody still cares, so it could be worse.

Also, I once knew a Mariners fan who was convinced that the Mariners were shoe-ins to win the World Series because of the Richie Sexson signing. Of course, he also once said that Barry Bonds wasn’t a great player because all he does is hit home runs. LOL him.

I went to Safeco in 07 and took the tour. I thought the stadium was actually fairly ugly, though I’ve found myself saying that about any new (semi-)enclosed stadium.

What really annoyed me was that halfway through the tour, they brought us to their equivalent of the Field Club bar and sat us down and went on this 30 minute spiel basically trying to sell us season tickets. It was the middle of December, and we were all obviously tourists. I thought that was really obnoxious.

I believe the Cardinals and the Giants had some sort of rip-roaring rivalry back in aught-nine or something.

The ‘70s? No… it was the ’80s. I think. I don’t remember stuff from when I was younger than 4.

In the 80’s the Cards had this very annoying habit off getting in the Giants way … and succeeding. And not to pick on the " youths" around here but you don’t know suck tell not only your team sucks but the teams beating you are doing with the farm kids your team developed. In the 80’s Cards case it was The Ripper.

All that said I am a Giants fan. My 2 favorite teams are the Giants and whoever is play the Dodgers. Because every Dodger win is a victory for the terrorists.

Well, they were something like 15 hours removed from a 12 inning game, with a flight in between. It was smart of the Yankees to force the Twins to play them dog-tired like that, but it was kind of lousy at the same time.

The Twins had basically no chance of winning that game. They were probably taking naps in the dugout.

It seems kind of weird to me that Willie McCovey was walked intentionally so much – he was a great hitter, for sure, but he’s at the bottom end of the top 50 hitters of all time, it seems weird that he’d be third all time in IBB.

Though, I guess his OPS+ during his peak (when he accumulated most of those IBBs) was in the 170s, which would be good for top 10 all time, so well.

You can always manually install rebuilds of Android if you want, but if you don’t want to deal with that, you’ll just get the updates via T-Mo. No reason any of them need to be handset-specific, though it wouldn’t surprise me if, say, Verizon, has someone make a custom build.

Instead of a pre-game coin toss, XFL officials put the ball on the ground and let a player from each team scramble for it to determine who received the kickoff option, which led to the first XFL injury. This type of “coin toss” has since been referred to as the “injury zone.”

the original NES RBI Baseball game had that crazy Angels pitcher, Donnie Moore, who shot his wife then killed himself. Same guy who gave up the game winning home run to the Red Sox in 1985 and apparently never got over it.

they signed some dude over in Europe too.

I think Nabby was injured at the end of last season.

by Merope on Oct 8, 2009 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yea, that’s pretty much it, i really think that he’s almost done with the Sharks

by PiKAgiant on Oct 8, 2009 9:58 PM PDT up reply actions  

which is a shame 2 years ago he was “teh awesome”

by Merope on Oct 8, 2009 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

He’s 34 and in his contract year. If he doesn’t play well, he either won’t be resigned or will be signed at a significantly decreased rate. He’s had some injuries and hasn’t really been the same since the death of his goalie coach, the great Warren Strelow (the guy who was the goalie coach for the 1980 US Olympic team).

And in the wings the Sharks have Greiss (the current backup), Stalock, Sexsmith (best name ever), Sateri, Karlsson, and Heemskerk. Besides Greiss, Stalock and Sexsmith are the closest to the NHL. Sateri and Karlsson are both starting over in Europe and so will likely need a while to get use to the ice dimensions in the NHL, and Heemskerk was just signed after being invited to training camp and is still a few years off.

well there you go, with the death of his goalie coach, that’s a big deal personally.

So basically, there are people “ready” to back up Nabokov, next year? or possibly this year?

by PiKAgiant on Oct 8, 2009 10:08 PM PDT up reply actions  

Strelow actually died three years ago. That first year he was playing out of his mind, but since then he’s been seriously regressing.

And the goalie situation is all up in the air. Greiss, Stalock, and Sexsmith could all possibly earn the position, but there are the Euros in Karlsson and Sateri who could completely dominate and come over the NHL like Gustavsson with Toronto.

The Sharks are known for their incredible depth in goalie, I guess like the Giants with pitching. They haven’t had to use it since 2000 when Nabby came up and won the Calder (rookie of the year), but they’re definitely going to have to dip into it after this year.

I think then he was playing with the aggression and motivation of a death of someone you love or close friends with. But then after, that motivation dies off…

So the guys in the Euros won’t be over for how long then you think?

That’s incredible though they haven’t needed to bring up anyone since 2000 when Nabby came, i did not know that, sometime this year or next they’ll have to bring someone up, it’s time/

by PiKAgiant on Oct 8, 2009 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions  

The European guys might never come over – because they’re already playing in what is essentially a major league, they have no incentive to come over unless they have an NHL job. It really depends on how the other goalies in the system are doing.

And they technically have brought up other guys – Patzold was brought up as the backup for a year, and then there was Vesa Toskala who almost platooned with Nabby for a year, but other than that it has been all Nabokov.

Just think – because of Nabokov, the Sharks had to trade away Miika Kipprusoff and Vesa Toskala, two bona-fide starting goalies that would have been kept by pretty much any other team. That’s goalie depth.

AIght, well, in your mind do you think Kipprusoff is better than Nabby? because he pretty much dominated the sharks a few years ago

by PiKAgiant on Oct 8, 2009 10:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

Kipper has declined a lot since the trade and his Vezina year, much more-so than Nabby. Maybe a few years ago, but now Nabokov is the better goaltender.

by PiKAgiant on Oct 8, 2009 10:45 PM PDT up reply actions  

Next year depends on his play this year. Like I said, his contract is expiring, and as he’ll be over 35 when he signs another, even if he retires or gets injured his cap hit will stay with the team. So he’ll either get signed to a one or two year deal, or be let go in lieu of a younger, cheaper goalie.

I have this fantasy of having a Stalock/Sexsmith tandem, but that’s just because of my love for prospects.
