I hope some folks caught the outdoor game on New Years Day (shown on NBC) between Pittsburgh and Buffalo...classic stuff.
Nope, I missed that but saw the highlights. That was pretty cool with the snow and everything. Looks like it was a pretty good game too. Only problem with hockey is that there's not enough scoring. They need to make the goal bigger or something. Then you have basketball which is the exact opposite. Way too much scoring in basketball. I always get a chuckle whenever they mention on ESPN how such and such a team won convincingly by 12 points. The score may be 112-100 and that's convincingly? That's 56 baskets to 50. That seems pretty close to me. One team scored almost 90% as much as the other team. That's like a baseball team beating another 4 to 3.57 or a hockey or soccer team winning 2 to 1.784! That's not convincingly. They need a goalie in basketball. They should let'em block the basket like the catcher blocks the plate in baseball too!
It would bring a whole new meaning to the term "Blocked Shot".
