  1. This helps stereotypes http://www.yosemite-sam.net/Sam/Sam-Side.jpg Sam is from California #-o
  2. I dont care for NFL football even though it is widely popular. Not all sports are for everyone. I would suggest going to a hockey game though
  3. Florida could probably bring in a versteeg level talent and a pick for Vokoun without taking on a bad contract. We'll see. I bet not. another factor is this, Versteeg doesnt have the best of contracts either. It isnt an albatross but it is not like the Hawks would be moving a young, productive and cheap forward. In this trade, Florida would be taking on bigger contracts and giving up the best player. The main upside would be a late 1st round pick. I think Florida could do much better if they are serious about moving Vokoun.
  4. the gauge is broke..Canada is a superior team. USA will need great goal tending and some other breaks to beat Canada.

  6. i think Huet is kind of a catch 22 for the hawks. it would net very little in return to move him plus some other asset. for huet to actually develop some trade value, he would have to do well in the playoffs. if that were to happen would the hawks want to trade him?
  7. you are probably still going to have to be more specific with an actual trade proposal. I am not sure how any of these situations you are suggesting is really helping the Hawks. Bad goalie with a bad contract and prospect is not going to net good goalie. not sure how giving up sharp without getting equal value forward in return is going to help the team either unless you are bringing back real good goalie.
  8. I have had my cable provider for 3 years and just realized tonight I dont have cnbc
  9. if USA forwards doesnt start back checking better, the better teams will put up 6 goals a game against them. Andy Kapp was amazing at curling
  10. I think you may to have to give me an example of what you are thinking. What asset would motivate a team to take on Huet's contract? For that team to take on 5mill plus in payroll for 2 more years, what would the Hawks have to take back? Big Hawk fan I workout with was saying the other day something about trading Huet. My response was what team in their right mind would take Huet. His response was, what team in their right mind would sign Huet for 5 million 2 yrs ago. Not exactly comparing apples to apples there, but there are some questionable GMs in the NHL
  11. A prevading culture of steroids in the A's system strikes again. Allegedly fixed. But I have no proof. But he went to the Cardinals
  12. I watched the 8th inning for the first time since 2003. It was still painful. My son who is now 10 watched it with me. He didnt realize how close the Cubs were to making he WS.
  13. He could have been a little better, but he could have been much, much worse. His major league OPS' have ranged from .761 to .656 (most recent). Soriano posted a .726 OPS last year. So Dubois' upside was probably around what Soriano did last year, maybe a little better. Soriano's upside, however, is 100-150 OPS points higher than that. Like I have said, I hope Soriano is healthy and productive. I just think if needed Dubois could catch lightning in a bottle for a couple of weeks if needed, anything longer than that would be scary.
  14. I would hope he wouldnt. My guess is Dubois would not even be called up. It just wouldnt bother me if he was.
  15. i've been on him for a while now. he's pretty bad yes he is
  16. I dont follow this thread all the time, but I was beginning to wonder when the Kopecky hate was going to start
  17. Well it sure as hell better bother the people in power. Junk like Dubois has no place on a team with playoff aspirations. I think a team with legit playoff aspirations need to hope that their everyday LFer doesnt have major injury issues. If Soriano would go on the 15 day dl, I would not be bothered by the hope that Dubois could put together a nice 2 week run. If Soriano would be hurt more long term I dont think the Cubs have much playoff hopes anyway
  18. I think Bagwell should be...is he eligible yet?
  19. how much worse would he have been instead of Soriano last year? I dont mind him playing left in Iowa and it really wouldnt bother me if he was called up if Soriano was put on the dl
  20. I had read that datsyuk was going to center Ovechkin and Semin, but that was several months ago. Olympic hockey does not start until next weekend...all nhlers will still play through tomorrow nah, olympic hockey for men starts tuesday oops, I knew it was not going to interfere with NHL games

  22. I think the Johnsson deal is a good deal for the Hawks. For the Hawks fans who think they need someone more physical I just shake my head. Being physical is a nice asset but is not the be all end all in being a good dman. I would much rather have them being good with the puck and in position defensively. If they are that and a strong physical presence that is great, but really not as many of those around the NHL as people think.
  23. Will he be eligible the same year as Maddux and Glavine? If so will the writers just vote in all 3 or behave like some sort of elitists?
  24. the fan base was pretty excited about the Campbell signing at the time. Even in here I think Cynosure ripped on me and called me a jealous Wings fan for questioning the deal and saying Campbells defensive game was not very good. Of course Cyno was never the voice of reason.
  25. very interesting read. I like his point of not adding a team to just add a team. The Big Ten could have done that years ago. I disagree with his assessment that missouri and syracuse will never be invited into the Big Ten.
