Apr-07-26 Chessgames - Sports    WannaBe: In case I forgot, congrats to them Lady Bruins. =)) U. Mich (69-63) won, but the last spread I saw was -6.5, so if you took UConn w/ spread, you got very lucky, if you bet on them U. Mich, I feel bad; the O/U was 148.5      Apr-06-26 Fusilli chessforum   WannaBe: You too <Fusilli>      Apr-05-26 Chessgames - Odd Lie   WannaBe: Gotta double-triple check for typos in the future, what is "coving my neighbor's wife"?? Are we doves?      Apr-01-26 OhioChessFan chessforum   WannaBe: <OCF> I will now have be a wabbit and dig dipper into Camp Washington Chili. Never hoid of them, don't know if they are canned, fast food, grocery store, etc. Will keep you updated.      Mar-21-26 Chessgames - TV and Films    WannaBe: <CIO> LOL. I remember those mems... <chancho> North by Norwest, totally agree, the audiences know that the plane scene was filmed earlier and played on a screen behind. It was still drama. Same thing with the Mt. Rushmore chase scene.      Mar-18-26 Chessgames - Politics    WannaBe: <plang> Do you have a link to where you got that information/data from? I would love to read it for myself.      Mar-16-26 WannaBe chessforum    WannaBe: Future research project, how did Offenbach - Orpheus in the Underworld became "Can Can" and women kicking legs before the Radio City Hall Rocketts. An history that probably need some "Lookin Into"      Mar-13-26 chessgames.com chessforum    WannaBe: ¡Olé! ¡Olé! this is what I see for "¡Olé! ¡Olé!" (game of the day Mar-13-2026) I also know this issue have been around for a while, and it's not that important, in IT term, it is a level 'C', cosmetic fix. But I just wish to report it again. Can CG.com unify this ...      Mar-11-26 Sebastien Feller    WannaBe: <FSR> March 11 is his birthday, and usually PoD is chosen from the birth date of the player. So unless CG.com decides to change the algorithm on how PoD is decided. We will randomly get "undesired" player(s).      Mar-05-26 G Timoscenko vs Karpov, 1967   WannaBe: So, strictly out of "Morbid Curiosity", I requested an analysis of the position: 1) +12.62 (22 ply) 55...Ke6 56. Nc6 Bg2 57. Nxa7 Ba8 58. Nc6 Kd7 59. Ne5+ Ke6 60. Nxg6 Be4 61. b6 f4 62. Nxf4+ Kf5 63. g6 Kg4 64. b7 Kxg3 65. b8=Q Kf3 66. g7 Bh7 67. g8=Q Bxg8 68. Qxg8 Ke3 69. a7 Ke4 ...

< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 527 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-09-14    WannaBe: College Wolrd Series is right around the corner, guess I have to root for an UCI Anteaters. And hope Pepperdine wins to get into Omaha. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Holy crap, Kings actually are ahead!! Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Someone reminds to avoid getting hit in the face with stick... Unless we can actually convert on the ensuing PP. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Okay, take more stick to face... =)) Jun-09-14    Mating Net: I'm worried, I don't like having a 2 goal lead, so used to coming from behind. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Maybe you'd worry less if we have a 3 goals lead. Jun-09-14    Mating Net: Power play, let's make it three so I can stop worrying! Jun-09-14    Mating Net: Officially not worrying about this game, and by extension, the series. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Really would suck, if we overcome 0-3 and comeover 3-0 (If we win game 3, that is...) Jun-09-14    WannaBe: 3-0, when do you pull the goalie, 5 minute mark? Jun-09-14    Mating Net: I'm with you, they can't do it any later IMHO. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Cheapest Game 4 at MSG, $630 http://www.stubhub.com/new-york-ran... May drop like a rock in about 10 minutes. Jun-09-14    Mating Net: The only drama now is who gets the Conn Smythe trophy. Who do you like Bugsy? Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Wayne Gretzky for bringing hockey to LA. Jun-09-14    Mating Net: The Great One, a good choice. I'm going with Mr. Game 7, Justin Williams. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Funny story, well, not funny as haha, but still... Musta been '90 maybe '91, Back at the ol' Forum, Calgary and LA, fighting for the final spot. (This is going back to the days of Wales and Campbell, Patrick and Norris, all that good stuff) And if I remember correctly, 4th place finisher in your division plays 1st, 2nd plays 3rd. Hockey have re-aligned many, many times since. Anyway, this is like 2nd to last game of season, and Flames comes to town, big game, Kings win, they are in, Flames have to win and get help. Back at the ol' Forum, ("Miracle on Manchester"), there was on a (plexi)glass that separated the visitors and the home team. There was no TV announcer in their own little spot that kept the 2 teams separate. (Plus you had to skate off the ice to the side openings, you didn't return to the bench and walk down the hall way) So anyway, things got chippy right off the drop of the puck (I bought a ticket for $50 bucks, nose bleed, face value was $19.99, funny how I remember that...) And both sides were poking and taking whacks at each others shin with their stick. (Back then, it was only 1 referee and 2 linesmen, before NHL changed and went to 2 and 2 officials) So, while the ref and linesmen were looking at the action, some activity would always happen out of their eye-sight. Sure enough (after a line change?) the Flames' bench and Kings' bench were all of a sudden pointin' and yellin' and probably talking about how good Yo MaMa look'd. That glass partition, I'll never forget this, on one side the Kings players took off their gloves and were palming the glass, the other side the Flames guys did the same. And the glass got pushed/hoisted <UP> and 2 benches were fighting. Referee called for a stop, sent both team to the locker room with about 3 minutes remaining in the 1st. After the premature period break, they all came back on ice, played the remainder of the 1st, took another short 30 seconds break, and 2nd period started. Probably one of the wildest hockey game I've ever seen. Live or on TV. Jun-09-14    WannaBe: Found the clip!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBRx... Jun-09-14    NakoSonorense: Quick had a great game, making stops that seemed almost impossible. The Kings have got this in the bag. Jun-10-14    WannaBe: I think everyone should watch that clip of Flames and Kings, just unbelievable, or as kids today would probably say 'Super Crazy'. Now, this is Miracle on Manchester: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bUrW... Now, this is the good ol' days, St. Patricks Day Massacre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZY4q... And of course, you have to include Patrick Roy vs Red Wings, by 2 different goalies. First time, Roy and Vernon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7LZ... Next Year, Roy and Osgood. Great reaction by referee at 0:58 to about 1:10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJlC... Ah, good ol' days... Don't make hockey players like they used to. Jun-10-14    WannaBe: At 3:35 of the Vernon video, you can see how close the two teams' bench are to each other, you can literally lean over and tell your opponent how pretty his Mama is. Ah, the good ol' days. Jun-10-14    Mating Net: I love old school hockey! That was a great brawl, using the glass,lol. The crowd must have been going nuts, you're lucky you got to see a classic brawl live. That was 50 bucks well spent. Thank goodness for YouTube because fighting will be gone from the game in a few more years. Jun-10-14    WannaBe: It is a necessary part of the game. I have no problem with that. Except when one coach puts in his 4 line goons (at home, last change) against the other teams' first line. And you know what is going to happen. (some columnists have even speculated why hockey players don't get into trouble off season is because they can 'fight' on ice... I somewhat believe it) Jun-10-14    Mating Net: I hear ya, it is necessary. However, all the concussion talk/ litigation and the Steve Moore, Todd Bertuzi trial means that fighting will become cost prohibitive and ripe for elimination. I hope not, but that's what I see. Jun-10-14    NakoSonorense: Speaking of goons, have you watched "Goon" with that Stifler guy from the American Pie movies? Jun-10-14    WannaBe: <Mating Net: I love old school hockey!...> All of a sudden I want to watch "Slap Shots" again, for the 9 gazillion-billion-trillionth time. "Old school hockey" "You mean Toe Blake?" Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 754) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 527 OF 754 ·  Later Kibitzing>
