So McQueary won't be at the game on Saturday, but do they really think he can attend the next two games, which are on the road? Why the hell don't they just fire him? I'm nearly convinced that they're keeping him because of the fact that they don't want him to open up about the incident in 2002 if he's fired.

A 20 minute press conference featured zero questions about Sandusky. That was the most embarrassing press conference I've ever seen. And now all of the idiots are organizing a pep rally on campus.

Sorry the NFC North is not east coast enough to be a strong division. That's the right answer.

Okay, can we at least rename the divisions in the Big Ten?

Might be time to call up the player who was the best forward in the Vancouver series.

Basically had four straight minutes of power play time there and we had one decent shot in four minutes. Brutal.

Sounds like Mike Leach is interested in the Ole Miss job. That could be interesting. No, damn it. I want Illinois to hire Leach.

Quenneville mentioned something about seeing how Scott responds to playing an actual full shift. I'm thinking that if he can't capitalize on this opportunity, we might see the last of him. That's probably wishful thinking, though.

so if you run practice and coach the kids all week but don't call the plays you're not coaching? When's the last time JoePa legitimately ran a practice?

Yeah, I'd rather take our defense from last year than whatever happened to this group this year. Maybe that's just me, though.

Not what I said at all. Our defense sucks ass this year, period. The way our defense was reacting on the sideline after the Raji pick 6 would lead me to believe that they thought the game was over. That's all.

Losing your all world safety certainly doesn't help. Matthews is not at 100 percent and I think they miss Cullen Jenkins more then they thought. I also believe they really take their foot off the gas at times. They did it last year against the Bears in the NFC Title game. They did it against the Saints. They did it against the Vikings 2 weeks ago and they did it today. They were up 45-24 with 10 min left. Is this defense as good as last year? No, not even close. But when your QB is playing at another level your defense doesn't have to be elite like it was last year. Also, Capers has always had more success in the 2nd half of the season compared to the 1st half. Am I worried about it? Yes. Am I panicking yet? No. i think it's kind of [expletive] to say something like they "took their foot off the gas" in NFC title game. by that token i could say that the bears defense simply didn't come to play in the first quarter, but dominated rodgers and the offense the rest of the game. I should of rephrased that. I am saying when BJ Raji had his pick 6, I think everyone thought the game was over including the defense. And the Bears did have it's way with the Packers offense the rest of the game. It was not an insult to the Bears at all. I knew what you meant and you're right. The whole defense thought the game was over after the Raji pick 6 and didn't bother playing on the next drive. We definitely have a tendency of backing off more than the average team does in situations like those.

If Alabama gets into the title game over an undefeated BCS team, all hell will break loose. At this point, I'm kind of rooting for that to happen.

lol at Alabama being #3 in the BCS. Time for a playoff, you assholes.

I think the Canucks have more PP goals tonight than we've had all season.

We're playing like a bunch of idiots tonight.

I'm pretty sure that the period was extended by an extra two minutes or so. The clock went back to 5 minutes on Kruger's goal when it was under 3 after the media timeout.

We need to trade for a point man on the PP.

Hopefully getting Mike Neal back in a few weeks improves our pass rush somewhat.

This has to be the worst defense an 8-0 team has ever had. I'll happily take the win, but I have no idea what happened to our defense from last year.

Alabama had their chance and blew it. No rematch necessary.

a good amount of male students including our stupid new mascot http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/1926/newsbearcontrib.jpg I've also seen it a good deal at Auburn and BAMA. That mascot kicks ass.

It wasn't at all, I'm just saying, he's slow on his reactions and has been throughout the times that I've seen him. Well yeah, he's not very good. There's a reason why he wasn't in the league until the very end of the season last year.

That wasn't on Emery. Stamkos was wide open in front of the net for about 5 seconds.

Kane to Hossa again. That's almost unfair.
