Sports - 5 April 2007

When a team is on a power play, they have the statistical possibilities of finishing 1 for 1 if they score or 0 for 1 if they don't. This statistical outcome is then put into their season record and is indicative of how well their special teams played. During a five minute major, however, the team can score as many goals as the other team will allow. How do the stats work in that situation? If a team scores three goals, they couldn't be 3 for 1, but it's just as illogical to say they were 3 for 3, since it was only one power play.

While I'm on this subject, does anyone remember in the 1970s that, on a delayed call, if a team was about to go on the power play but scored before the team to be penalized could touch the puck, that they were STILL granted the power play? Now the power play is negated, but I remember the other scenario being in the rules back then. Am I delusional? At least about this?

the much hyped world cup has been an overall failure except for ireland and bangladesh.

Only a handful of games have been close at this late in the tournament.

There are small crowds in the stands and the rain showers and the delays has really brought boredom to cricket.

Do you think the ICC should just take such a major event as this to a place where fans actually appreciate the sport and will do anything to get in such as England, Australia, Asian countries, etc and keep them there??? Yea i know about the ridiculous ticket prices and restrictions but this an almost once in a lifetime event happening in your backyard, wouldn't you want to do anything to catch some of the action?????

Just wondering because I was watching some soccer clips and one was David Beckham scoring from behind the half line because the goalie was out too far, and this made me wonder if it ever happened in hockey, but I'm guessing no since goalies don't really get tricked from that far out.

Who was more impressive:

7IP 8K 1ER vs Boston lineup
7IP 10K 1ER vs KC lineup

The kid is 23 yrs old and was highly touted until he pretty much took last year off. I'm am in no way a KC fan but geez can we get of Matsuzakas jock strap for a second and give him credit.

The tire keeps hitting one of the brake pads at one spot of the tire. I already adjusted the brakes as far as they can go but it's not enough. I need to adjust the tire. I've heard that you can just cut out some of the spokes, but is that really a good idea?

What do you guys think. I think Bradys luck has run out and where gonna start to see him for what he really is, a 6th rnd draft pick. I think stallworth is over rated and no better then Caldwell. Welker is the next troy brown, which means hes a 30 catch reciever who can return punts. And Adalius Thomas is a bust who was a one shot wonder in Baltimore who the Pats jumped on because bellicheck thinks he can coach defensive players to be better then they really are. The pats are not better then a year ago and maybe even worse as the team has aged a year from last year. I think the colts have gotten a lot better and the guys who will be replacing Harper Rhodes and June are up and coming stars just waiting for a chance to play. My prediction Pat 6-10 no playsoffs. Indy 15-1 with another superbowl. Tell me what you think.

He only wore a wig on the mask for that final match. He kept his long hair after the Diesel immitation character and throughout the Kane character. He DID NOT wrestle that many years with a wig on.

I hope Christianity's most sacred event, brings you closer to God.
And that you will have a meaningful day.

For those who aren't Christian, I hope you will continue to enjoy peace, goodwill, health and where possible, wealth, for yourself and your kin.

And Hopefully all of you will just for 1 single day, be civil and respectful to each other.

Regards

If you think it's no big deal, consider that people who are reading questions from this section to LEARN THE GAME are being misled.

And yes, I am going to stay with this, dwell on this, even "have PMS" until more of you "get it".
