I'm sorry that I offended you by doubting your amazing psychic powers. You should be, just kidding. What do you think of the goalies and defense going into the playoffs? They've been average to bad for a month+, think they'll get back to their earlier good play? If I remember correctly, while seemingly, everyone else was going nuts about the Hawks trading for a goalie you've been saying it'll be alright with Huet/Niemi.

Never been more upset about a 2 goal lead. It appears the Hawks are out playing them having outshot them 28-19, we'll see. I think the Hawks were easily the better team tonight. 2-0 final think you're correct of course, we'll have to get the Kyle seal of approval before it can finalized.

what would a loss to William and Mary have been like, Katrina? I beieve he also said last season was his toughest, yeah real tough Roy. Had some early season injuries but, look a bench full of McDonald' All Americans to fill in, stayed afloat, got healthy and you ended up winning the NC, what a tool.
-
What a tool. tim, i'm not going to call for him to be fired, but i sure as hell am going to be critical of everything he does until he makes a deep tourney run. Deeper than 2005? So you're saying we have to win the championship to be happy. Gotcha. 1 tournament win in 5 years ain't cutting it. title game appearance aside, any other coach at a major program would be getting the same heat with those numbers. He'll have more talent to work with, I believe we'll see some deep tourney runs in the near future.
-
I agree, they gain nothing but dumb play - see Keller right before the half - with Cole, Keller and Jordan on the floor. What was the starting lineup?
-
3. plus there was the philly game they have had a lead in 7 of their last 8 losses What's disappointing is when the Hawks got up 4-2 in the third I knew Phoenix would at least tie the game. At the point I hoping to get out of Phoenix with a point, just pathetic.
-
I didn't think anything would make me laugh today, but you did it. Glad I could accomodate you, even had the Illini made the tournament they wouldn't have been around long. NIT whatever, I could give a rat's ass, what is important is the Illini getting more playing time setting up 2011-
-
Like you mentioned the defense sucked, I don't blame Niemi for tonight. The Hawks couldn't clear the zone and Phoenix got some fortunate bounces as a result.
-
That's fine and mark Phoenix down for an early round upset as well, I know I poised the question about whether they were an average team having a great season. I believe they are, their last two goals were all about very poor defense by the Hawks, Hawks play a little better on defense tonight and they win 4-1. yeah they arent doing anything in the playoffs, but who cares. the hawks have been playing awful defense for like 2 months now. it's past the point where you can expect it to turn around. god i just hope we dont get detroit. they'd beat us right now. I agree, it would be awfully nice tomorrow if they Hawks play defense like they're capable of, if so, Phoenix doesn't have a chance.

I wonder if the Coyotes are an example of a not-that-good team having a great season?

:lol: Yeah suck it. We were both No. 1 overall seeds but we are still alive ... err wait you were the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament instead of NIT. Damn. The way I look at it the Illini playing in the NIT is a plus, they're most likely going to play in at least two more games. Getting Paul, Richardson and Griffey more playing time buildng towards the future. Even had they made the NCAA they probably would have been bounced in the 2nd round - next few seasons are for the NCAA FF, etc. Sure it is a benefit to get those guys playing time. It's not that you are excited about the games in the NIT or even that you are happy Kansas lost. It's the comment about Self watching Illinois play since his team is done already that I found humorous. It's like a guy in fantasy football making fun of the regular season champ for being upset because your team won and will be playing in the consolation bracket championship. Yes, it petty on my part but, I don't mind in the least that Self fell on face this year.

I gotta admit, I enjoyed a good measure of schadenfreude at the outcome of UNI-KU game. Suck it Sherron Collins and Bill Self, watch the Illini on Monday and quite probably beyond, it's only the NIT. But, at least they're still playing.
-
Go Bucky. I might have picked Wofford against a lot of teams, but not sure they match up well with Wisconsin. We'll see. SI picked Wofford, which surprised me. I generally no longer bet against Bo Ryan or Tom Izzo to go out early under any circumstances. I picked the Badgers as a sweet 16 team unfortunately, Kentucky will be waiting for them. I'd really like to see Kentucky and Calipari go down at the hands of the Badgers and Big Ten but, I don't think it's going to happen.
-
huh? In consecutive games Seabrook and Campbell have gone down as a result of questionable hits - I was suggesting it's more than a coincidence perhaps, teams looking to injury a Hawk player. I know it's not true but, it's really starting to piss me off. no, not even a little bit Wiz probably did intend to injure Seabrook, but that was only as retribution for the earlier Perry hit, and Ovechkin just throws his body around at everyone like that Tonight' game will ne interesting, I gotta believe the Hawks are po'ed and frustrated, if LA comes close to a questionable hit they may goon it up.

Most likely the Chicago Sports paranoia coming out but, this taking a Hawk player out of the game with an injury is becoming way too "coincidental".

Boy, I sure missed the boat on the coach reference who's very good at coaching but, poor at recruiting, etc. Although, if one checks out Illini Scout and sometimes here, the situation did somewhat describe Weber at U of I. Why would Turner stay? Despite what he said about loving OSU, he's, at the very least, the no. 2 pick (behind Wall), maybe no. 1 on plenty of teams draft boards. By the way, why is that U of I, while quite probably being clean, is on the NCAA' watch dog list, yet programs that cheat their collective b*lls off are not? Say programs like Kentucky, OSU (football)...
-
If you're referring to Weber, I don't hold this view, with the talent he's going to have on hand next season, I firmly believe the Illini will be a top 16 seed. I do also believe he hasn't excuses should they miss the tournament again along with getting beat by the likes of Utah, Bradley and Georgia.
-
The Illini didn't get in, I can live with that however, the NIT still presents an opportunity. If I were Bruce I'd look upon this chance to set up next season by looking at a lineup of Davis, Tisdale, Paul, Richardson and McCamey with Griffey being the first off the bench.
-
The after -effects of the Gordon fiasco are over with the arrival of Richmond, Head and Leonard, couple that with the return of every significant player from this year' team and Weber has no excuses. No reason at all for the Illini not to be a top 10 team and a FF contender next season.
-
That may true but, Turner is gone after they flame out in the tournament, as good as the OSU starting 5 is, it's still all about Turner. The Illini having everyone back next year plus that recruiting class, I'd say there's a real good chance they'll be better than OSU.
-
I know this offers little comfort but, OSU is going down in NCAA flames. You can just sense it, they're getting every break, every half-assed, goofed up crap of shot is going in, that has a way turning around.
