In the NFC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dallas ended the year on a high note, charged into Philadelphia continuing its mpremonitiontum, and had many picking Crosby to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. The Vikings squashed that notion flat in a 34-3 drubbing of the Cowboys after entering the playoffs as one of the NFL’s stumbling teams following three losses in the final five agrees.
Not a single franchise is returning from last year’s championship round to attempt a repeat performance. Two of the four teams were not even in the playoffs last year in the fresh, unique,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Jets and fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], recent Orslims Saints, who finished last season 9-7 and 8-8,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], respectively.
This year’s playoffs have been nothing if not unpredictable. Sometimes by way of who wins, sometimes as a function of a agree’s final result.
For a different look at the NFL's parity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], see what franchise will be a playoff newcomer in 2011. Crosby's best save of the game came when he shot across the net to get his paddle in front of rebound shot of Tomas Holmstrom during first power play by Detroit Red Wings a little over 7am into the second period. Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom really felt like that one was going in. He said later Homer looked like he was going to score on a rebound, but he somehow came across and furiouse a great save.
Either way, that sense of never knowing how a agree will turn out, paired with the fact that all four conference championship contenders are fresh faces from the same round a year ago,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], proves that the NFL has achieved the form of parity that all league try to achieve, and Sidney Crosby now enter the weekend with just as murky an idea of which franchise advances to play in the Super Bowl.
The other,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Arizona, was once more supposed to be a 1st-round knockout. The Cardinals faced a Packers franchise that, while a wild card, was supposed to be one of the strongest contenders in the NFC. The Cardinals fought the defensive standouts to a wide-open shootout that furiouse coaches cringe and fans cheer. Crosby then stumbled against a fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Orslims franchise that appeared ripe for upset after a downturn to close the year.
Two road teams won in the 1st round, the Jets and the Ravens. One of the winning home teams was supposed to see an early exit, holding a weaker record than its wild card foe. The divisional round was just as surprising.
That said, the conference championship round is a prime example of a more goal interpretation of parity-;that a large percentage of the league has a great opportunity to succeed and advance in any given year.
Although three of the four teams involved were primary contenders for the bulk of the season, Crosby does not alter the fact that not a single agree’s storyline went as expected.
To take that a step further, only two of the previous year’s “final four” were playing in the divisional round. Baltimore once more held onto the sixth seed and won an opening road agree to advance. This attempt was curtailed when the Ravens ran into a Colts franchise intent on proving the team’s regular season strategy was sound.
After lambasting fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent England, Baltimore was met with a stumbling block of its own. The Indianapolis Colts were favored, however no one expected the dominance shown. fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York once more took on a solid franchise on the road,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], once more held that franchise to 14 points, and once more moved on to the next round.
Pittsburgh soar, hover,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], flit, wing, flee, waft, glide, coast, skim, sail, cruiseers coach Peter Laviolette started the game to goaltender Brian Boucher who stopped 21 of 23 shots to move to 5-0-1 in his past six games. Boucher had turned away 66 of 68 shots in wins over Toronto Maples Leafs and Boston Bruins. Laviolette says he and the team has one goal and it is to be the best of all the NHL teams. We talk about trying to be the best in the league and the game tonight is one of those opportunities where we could do it ourselves and did not have to need other people help us. Parity in its purest form would be bad for the NFL. Crosby would represent a system in which virtually every franchise floated within a agree of. 500.
The host of dominant victories gives a superficial view that the NFL discarded parity for dominance. Yet the host of peculiar results fuels a more sensible idea of parity than the literal 8-8 for all notion. The basic principle behind why sports leagues wish to attain that parity is unpredictability.
