As the 2009-2010 regular season neared its end, some teams began looking forward to the 2010-2011 season a little sooner than others. Not even getting a chance to vie for the holy grail of hockey, the Stanley Cup, those teams that missed the postseason already turned their attention to evaluating their teams and making plans for the summer where they hope to bolster their ranks to make a run once more. Here we will take a look at the Western Conference’s non playoff teams, their free agents and what they should do to make themselves better.

 

 
ESPN infliltrates XBOX - Hockey still okay. E-mail

Terrible news coming live from MY XBOX. Yes, the world wide leader in douchebaggery, asshatary and NFL/MLB NBA/Nascar- related sports is set to deliver their above-average, cliched, sports entertainment segments now to the XBOX.

As if camping noobs weren't annoying enough to deal, we'll know have to deal with the great Trey Wingo, Booyah Scott and Neil Everitt scoff and snark their ways through sports highlights is going to be just as nauseating over Rock Band 2 as ever. Kotaku says:

Microsoft and ESPN have struck a deal delivering exclusive sports programming to Xbox Live. The partnership will deliver more than 3,500 sports events, most of which will be in high definition.

ESPN anchors Trey Wingo and Josh Elliot took the stage to demonstrate the service, which will be free to Xbox Live Gold subscribers. Highlights from last year's USC-Ohio State college football game and game two of this year's NBA Finals were shown, indicating that the service should offer top sporting events also being broadcast on the main network. The service will also offer polls, trivia and other content inline with the broadcasts.

For those of us who use the XBOX as our few outlets for NOT listening to the World Wide Leader, well sorry. You are out of luck. Of course, this would also be one of the few free content pieces available too.

Thankfully, this doesn't set a procedent were Trey Wingo filled content will not infest by various sports games. On the bright side though, hockey should still be ESPN free. Wooohoo hockey!

Skynet Apple released info on the new iPhone today. Check out this handy video for some of the improvements.

 

 

Ok fine. That's a damn fine piece of equipment. And I want one. But then I realize I have a blackberry. I just wish the shitheads like me that parade around their blackberry would have something similar to look forward to. But no. Can't I get an APP store?!

 

So enjoy your day in the sun, Apple Lemmings and may you all enjoy the iPhone 4 features, blogs, twats and videos as your latest spank bank material. Sickos.

Anyone see this? Da Post reports:

Forget courtside! The hottest ticket at the revamped Madison Square Garden will be straight above Spike Lee's head.

Up to a thousand fans will get to sit in premium nosebleed seats on the two sky bridges that will be built five stories above the playing floor as part of the $850 million inside-out reconstruction of the "World's Most Famous Arena."

6) How can anyone be against the Subway Series?-I just don't understand this. I suppose if you grew up around all Yankee fans, are yourself a Yankee fan, and harbor no ill-will towards the Mets, then and only then would this series have no meaning or interest to you (Devo). However, I grew up around almost all Met fans and hate the Mets so it carries weight for me. If WFAN is any indication, Mets fans almost unanimously hate the Yankees.  Yes, these games don't mean that much in the standings and it can be argued that six games and two series waters things down a bit; however, some of my favorite regular season baseball memories are from Yankees Mets games.  Anyone who argues that the season is somehow less legitimate because the Yankees don't get to play extra games against the Tigers and the Mets don't get to do the same against the Astros obviously isnt a fan of one of the local teams. These people, rather, are the aptly named "seam-heads" (thanks Wally Matthews of espnny.com) who are so obsessed with the "purity" of the sport they forget that it is supposed to be fun!

 
2009 - 2010 Penguins Season Post Mortem E-mail

Is this the year? Uh, Nope. 3 years in the finals? Nope. God, what the hell. It seems now we're back to reality. Back to the level of the rest of the league. Back to the harsh reality that it takes a lot to get to the Stanley Cup Finals. Alas, our flightless birds are now on the golf course, practicing their drives with Alex Ovechkin, Martin Brodeur and Sean Avery.

After a season so full of promise and a playoff that was destined to watch the Penguins come out of the East, the hockey gods sent one last karmic shockwave throughout the golden triangle.

Last Thursday morning all that was left was downtown Pittsburgh were crushed hopes, towels and t-shirts.

So what happened. How did this team lose to the 16th seed in the playoffs. How did guys like Cammalieri, Gionta, Pyatt, Lapierre and Gill do what a Detroit team last year couldn't do.

How did a second string goalie until February shut down the 3 of the most gifted offensive players in the league in back to back rounds?

How did the Civic / Mellon Arena go out like this?

How did our two superstars crumble like that?

How did this team choke?

Yinzers are already ready to dump Stanley Cup winning Marc Andre Fleury and Conne Smythe winning Evgeni Malkin and much of the core that took this team to back to back finals. Why not trade Crosby while we are at it?

Many ingredients went into this recipe of disaster. Basically, to put it bluntly everyone on this team collapsed at being the hunted. They didn't get into the dirty areas. Didn't pay the price. Didn't get in front of Halak. It seemed as though they felt by just showing up they'd win. Moreover, the same issues that plagued this team all season were exposed finally for the world to see. Random thoughts after the jump.
