Devil Dan 56 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Once, many years ago, some friends and I were pregaming at a hotel before a concert and we ended up watching a Rock Paper Scissors tournament on ESPN 2 or 3. It was fascinating 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunninWithTheDevil Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Watching the leafs/rags game and this thought crossed my mind: Why is Hava Nagila played on the organ of almost every sporting event? Never really had a second thought about it til today, but now it just seems SO ODD to me! Edit: site note, now The Final Countdown is playing and I will FOREVER picture Job from Arrested Development dancing and doing magic every time I hear that damn song 🤣 Edited October 19, 2021 by RunninWithTheDevil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did some googling and a bunch of different articles speculated that it was a way to get players of Jewish background more comfortable being part of the game, but no concrete history behind it. I think when you boil it down, it's just a damn catchy tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Not sure if this has been discussed but been watching All or Nothing with the Leafs. Really been enjoying it. Hoping it becomes a regular feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagknife Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I was yesterday years old when I realized that I was at Marty’s first ever shutout: the 4-0 win over Anaheim the first time the Devils ever played them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know the at the end it will be "nothing" I mean that made it better. All the optimism from the group knowing how it ended. It's like watching a car crash unfold. It has been nice to see the characters at play. Having watched some of the football (soccer) ones in the UK this was quite reserved in terms of content.

Would love to find that pin someday (one day I'll have to see if I still have it). That Ducks team was actually not half-bad for an expansion team (71 points in 84 GP). They even beat the Rangers in both of their meetings that season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I need a new TV show to binge on Netflix. My criteria are drama, made in America, in English. Nothing foreign, nothing comedic. All of the famous HBO shows and Netflix products I have already seen. Ideally, I like to find something with a ton of seasons that I just happen to have overlooked. Tell me about a show I may have missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
