    good read ... totally agree ... it's a total disgrace that the Raptors are 3rd in the east right now ... although at least they are trying ... while some teams are in a playoff position when they don't even want to be ...

    the NHL has it right ... best league hands down ... any team that makes the playoffs of which like only like 5 or 6 don't have a chance ... can win the cup ...

    NHL loses points since you can't hit anyone or fight anymore. Still trying to figure out why lecavalier got tossed on wednesday night. Terrible

    The Sixers are really one of the worst NBA teams ever assembled. It's a shame they won as much as they did early in the season.

    pelicans have won 3 in a row and are now 4.5 games behind (ahead?) of the jazz for the 5th spot with 19 games left. i think we are looking good on that front at this point...

    i guess in reality - they have too much talent on that team to tank without it being obvious ... 2 picks in the top 10 plus cap room ... that should get you back soon ... especially in the eastern conference ..

    Might want to double check that. Just last year the pirates made the playoffs. MLB has most parity of all the major sports...especially if you're talking about championship winning franchises. It's really not close

    Sixers gotta take wiggins if they win the lottery (or if he's there whenever they end up picking). I know parker looks good, but we all remember what happened the last time they took a mormon with the second overall pick.

    Keep losing boys!! This is the best season the sixers have had since '83

    there are like 3 teams in the nhl that haven't been in the postseason in the past 5 years or longer ... that jumps to like 8 teams in mlb ... but forget about that ... only a third of the teams make the postseason and for 2 of those teams it's a 1 and done ...

    and there is no way you can compare parity when you look simply at wins and losses ... there are only a few teams out of the playoff race in the nhl ... by july - most of the teams are out of it in baseball ...

    While I agree the NHL has parity ... but you can't compare it to the other 3 major sports leagues, the NHL is the only one that awards a team a point for losing in OT or the ridiculous shootout. Something says that if baseball and the NBA awarded something for extra time losses things might look different ... however I think the NHL should award 2 points for win and 1 for a tie and 0 for losses and abandon those ridiculous shootouts ... without that extra point things would look different, very different.
