what joke of a fuck

[alta]

its starting to look like the Daytona 500 might only have 30-35 cars, there's not enough nextgen chassis being built at a high enough pace for anything more


since F1 has screwed the pooch, the only race left on my must attend list is at Circuit de la Sarthe

[alta]

John Madden has left the building after 85 years

[Mickstix]

-Yes, agree.. Complete fuckshow.

-And they're going to tear a few of them up at The LA Coliseum before the season even starts.

-Le Mans would be fun!

-RIP John Madden!! Legend!!


-Where's the hillbilly and the foreigner been? 

[alta]

I swear, I dont understand why Caps management still runs the team website, they provide almost no team information

I think Rich is still on vacation, and Lil is mad at us for seeing the wuhan flu and the governments response to it for what it is

because....

  “The change is motivated by science demonstrating that the majority of SARS-CoV-2 transmission occurs early in the course of illness, generally in the 1-2 days prior to onset of symptoms and the 2-3 days after,” reads the CDC’s statement. “Therefore, people who test positive should isolate for 5 days and, if asymptomatic at that time, they may leave isolation if they can continue to mask for 5 days to minimize the risk of infecting others.”

but the NHL is still relying on the PCR test....

I'm back!!!


And it appears this is now "the dedicated Covid thread..." 


So is there actually a game tonight?  Like a real NHL Capitals game?  Woot!


I left town Dec 20 and returned Dec 28.  The Caps postponed three of the four games while I was gone.  No wonder I couldn't find them on TV in Florida or NC.

Sgarbossa cleared waivers, is on the taxi squad

took a while with the extended Christmas break, but Bruce is now 7-0 ....

His NHL career winning percentage is .637 which is damn good.


Also...on a "lighter" note....they have him listed at 5'-9", 170lbs 


I think he might have had only one foot on that scale.  He and I appear to have a similar physique right now, and 170 aint getting there.

[alta]

Bruce is now 7-0-1
Caps at 7:30 in detroit

Betty White has left the building after almost 100 years...

Schedule's about to get retarded.. Off 4 days, 3 games in 4 nights, off 4 days, 3 games in 4 nights..

I’ve been saying it for years, the nhl schedulers suck ass

boredom thread...


Dale Hunter is the only player in history with 1000 pts and 3000 PIM.  Dale was my favorite player at the time (and for a very long time).  Named a dog after him. 


Career stats of 1020 pts and 3565 PIM...which lands him second all time for the most PIM behind Tiger Williams with 3971.


Dale had 270 career fights.  Although, I don't remember him as a real heavyweight fighter...mostly a VERY pesky player who was always stirring the pot.  Great competitor.


When they demolished the old Cap Center....the Capitals gave Hunter the penalty box from there 

[alta]

technically, management pulled the home penalty box from the old arena and gave it to Huntsy at his sweater retirement ceremony, which was before the old Cap Center was demolished

as I recall, as I was at that game, they also gave him an suv and a horse trailer

 



I can’t find that ceremony on the youtube
