    Hockey needs a 3pt shot.

    They used to show the Portland Buckaroos on KPTV when I was a kid. Of course, KPTV also used to show local pro wraslin' every Friday night, so take it for what it's worth. ;)

    Agree! Hockey is a great sport. Especially when it's the NHL. Nothing beats the NHL playoffs.

    I am a Penguins fan, so I have a deep love/hate relationship with Lemieux. Love him because he is the greatest player to play for my team, but he also put together the last minute bid together to keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

    No he didn't. Not even a bit. Paul Allen agreed to buy the team. It was done. At the 11th hour, Mario LeMieux came in on his fucking white horse and saved the franchise

    Ive just gotten to the point with the anti-baseball crowd where I make fun of their whole premise. The media detractors and critics obviously are doing it for ratings. It's hip to hate the sport because they've portrayed it that way. But I can at least point fingers at the mob.

    It was beautiful the way you wrote it.

    The only thing the media gets right is that they are wrong.

    Bottom line is, If Paul really wanted NHL in Portland we would already have one.

    Any knowledge as to how it's supposed to work financially? Have you broken down how much it would cost him, the taxpayers, etc? Did you see if the interest of the sport here would be realistic to the financial undertaking he would have to do? Did he think it was viable?

    Wanting and needing are two vastly different things.

    Bottom line is, you have no idea what he wants. So stop trying to speak for him. Your posts tell me you suck at it.

    It's a completely separate discussion. Paul Allen WANTED the Penguins and years later WANTED the Coyotes. Paul Allen wants to buy an existing team, not get an expansion team because that would cost millions and millions of dollars more. He also does not want to buy a healthy team and move it.

    Haha. I just remember watching it with my grandpa. That was the one show he stayed up "late" to watch, and he never missed it.

    Does anyone know of a Pittsburgh backer bar in the PDX area? Would be fun to actually watch a game with other fans.

    If not, anyone know of a Hockey bar in general?

    Isn't that Arizona team that PA tried to buy like a year or two ago still on shaky ground? I also think there were supposed to be some expansion teams this summer, although they sounded to expensive for what he wanted to pay.

    Maybe it's my Swedish ancestry talking, but I'd totally get into hockey if we had a team.
