But I may be wrong.

Yes, I miss it, and I'm still pissed
I think I will stick another pin in my Gary Bettman voodoo doll (yes, I really made one.)

11. Well so far it hasn't worked
my Patrick Roy voodoo doll worked like a charm. I stuck him full of pins and the last time he played the Red Wings, he gave up six goals in one period. Maybe I need to get those red pins back.

8. I'm usually the same way, but this year's NBA season has been good
All 4 teams left are fun to watch, and this might be one of the better overall playoff years too. There should also be a legitimate championship series for once. I'm glad to see teams like SA and Detroit who can play both offense and defense, and Phoenix is always fun to watch, despite their matador D.

12. I have to admit
that it was good to see the Bulls go as far as they did.

16. Yeah, I was a fan of them too
I loved them (huge Jordan fan) since the mid-80s (when they sucked, and then when they kept losing to the Piston thugs) through their last title, but was irate when they dismantled the entire team. I did not like the Chandler and Curry picks at the time, although Chandler has emerged as a pretty solid player and Curry may get there soon as well. I was very happy when they replaced Krause with Paxson, and he has done a good job as GM so far. If Arenas hadn't been unconscious, they would have probably beaten the Bullets, although the Heat would have been too much in round 2. They've got a great young nucleus, and should be able to do well in the playoffs, especially in the east

5. Miss it badly. At least here in Chicago
we've got the Wolves, of the AHL. And said Chicago Wolves have consistantly been better than our NHL franchise, so that's helped ease the pain.

9. Hockney, hockly.. something like that
I remember all of our family gathering around the modular entertainment system and watching those brave men skating around the brink (sp?) doing whatever it was they do.

Anyone else recall?

14. I saw highlights of the cow chip frisbee finals last week on CNN
or one of those "news" stations. You mean that was a rerun?
