  1. somebody needs to start a thread to highlight Marmol's completely ridiculous 18.56 (!) k/9
  2. it'd be really nice if we could get Byrd out of the lineup for a little while, he just hasn't looked the same of late, makes you wonder if he's somehow hurt
  3. Wings probably would have also won the cup last year if Datsyuk was healthy for the finals, imo
  4. the favorites don't always prevail on a side note, this could be both Lidstrom's and Joe Louis Arena's last ever hockey game, which would be sad
  5. all three games have been 4-3; they're not exactly getting slaughtered. just some bad breaks, like Lidstrom's stick (literally), and the 5 on 3 coming from Setoguchi's dive, and Howard letting in some softies. it very easily could be something like 2-1 in the Wings favor right now, just part of the unpredictability of a short series can you honestly say that the Sharks have carried the play in any of the three games?
  6. /series welp, i was wrong about Howard, he's been a total disappointment most of the postseason
  7. .195 babip right now vs. .315 career he's still a good bet to hit near .300 the rest of the way
  8. probably a penalty shot if it's the reg. season
  9. well there isn't much disputing it, Setoguchi started flailing like six seconds after a stick got near him
  10. my god that whole sequence was an embarrassment for officiating
  11. hey that's weird, Franzen has a big gash in his face i wonder what could have caused that, refs...
  12. ha ha, hey what do you think of Paul Sullivan, MGL, and the Reds' young talent?
  13. to be fair, they were hot after Manny and his $20m salary before Sox took the Dodgers/Pirates offer
  14. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_22WFsGSxBI8/SFcqFq58HJI/AAAAAAAABfg/lKj5HZXiUL0/s400/High_Fidelity.jpg VERY [expletive]
  15. i'd pay to see Bobby Lou's reaction
  16. i'm calling it STL – Pujols DET – Prince CHC – AGonz Yankees put in perfunctory bids to these guys and settle on the Jesus for DH same with Sox & Lars Anderson, but i guess the wild card is if these guys get traded in a deadline deal and re-up like Holliday Marlins are going to spend big on a guy to open their new stadium with (we call this Juan Gonzalezing), but i'm not sure who i think that'll be yet
  17. firstinning has him at 52.5% GB / 15.3% LD / 30.5% FB / 7.4% IBB, for whatever you care to glean from that info
  18. Canuck players' reaction to Chelsea Dagger, pretty amusing – esp Sedin & Kesler
  19. How do you pick a team a year and a half ago and not take the Blackhawks? Or were the most popular team in the law school class at the time? you'll hate me, i'm not telling you nhl 10, has to be
  20. no, my argument is that you're wrong about the wings being the best team left in the playoffs. also you're a wings fan so that might be hurting your ability to see this objectively. howard's stats are good because the wings always play a really good defensive system. osgood always had good stats and he was never that great. in 13 years with the Wings, Osgood never even approached the SV% Howard had this year. irrespective of that, whichever you give credit to (great team defense or great goalie), it helps my point that they're the favorites right now
  21. Please explain how you come to the conclusion that the 5th place team in the conference is the favorite over the 3 teams above them that made it to the 2nd round? Not to mention whatever team makes it to the the Finals from the east. their depth was pretty decimated by injuries for much of the year, and it took 1/3 the season to move away from Osgood, and Filpulla's emergence has made them a completely different team i definitely wouldn't have made that statement earlier in the year. nonetheless, it's foolish to bet against Zetterberg, Lidstrom and Datsyuk in the playoffs. wait, your argument is that i somehow don't have enough exposure to the Wings to evaluate them? Howard was top 5 in the NHL for SV% and GAA, fwiw
  22. wow, just about everybody in this thread is seriously selling the Wings short. they have to be the favorites in any series from here on out, barring injury to any of the big three.
