I like how in Japanese and Korean baseball games there is a dedicated section for visiting supporters (In NPB it's left field, in KBO it's the 3rd base line).

I guess baseball is a bit different in that teams take turns cheering so they're not trying to drown each other out. But anyway, rival fans make things more fun.

I'm constantly jealous of english football where opposing fan teams have their own sections and can take trains from city to city to watch their teams.

Jealous? You know why they're in their own sections right? And why there's no alcohol served in the venues. English football fan are the absolute worst.

Drinking in english football stadiums is just banned in the stands which makes it worse as people chug pints in the concourse in a rush to return to their seats.

I think I've seen enough to say the Oilers are going to win. most everyone in the media is counting them out. i think McDavid will go off this series. i think they're a very dangerous team with no expectations

This smelled suspicious to me (these pictures of two posing and smiling fans were taken by the sister after they fled and as they tried to take away her phone?), but it appears the woman pictured did try and take away someone's phone:

I really haven't been very impressed by anybody in the east. Kinda makes the Pens loss sting even that much more because everyone looks very beatable. Carolina looks like the best of the bunch but they have warts too so far at least with special teams. And not so sure how their goaltending would hold up if they play a team that pushes them more. I thought Tampa and Florida both looked kinda lovely last night and if I didn't know any better I would have called that a regular season game. The pace of play was bad.

Colorado has that vibe about them and I dunno how they're gonna get stopped

I think you were spoiled by the gong-show Pens-Rags series. The Caps demonstrated how effective clogging up the neutral zone can be at neutralizing the Panthers' rush game. The Bolts are executing that strategy, albeit more effectively.

So unless the Cats break the game wide open somehow, you're not going to see a lot of sustained pressure or rush chances or terribly exciting hockey basically.

So what you're saying is we got a version of the Dallas Stars in the 2nd round anyway.

Girard had a great game last night. He gets a lot of flack because he's made some bigger mistakes of the Avs defensemen and he gets pushed around a lot if the other team plays more physically. Replacing Girard's partner from Nemeth to Manson since last year's playoffs is much better. Apparently he had to get x-rays due to a blocked shot near the end of the game but Bednar said he'll be good tomorrow. On the third pairing D, Timmins being replaced by Byram is also an upgrade from last year.

I forgot that Manson scored a really similar goal in the last regular season game between Colorado and St Louis.

The East bracket rules because you could point to every single team and make a decent case the them being able to make the finals. You could also point out how fraudulent everyone is and make cases as to why they would get bounced.
