  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. there isn't a team in the league that can beat them the way they played tonight
  4. he, Lewand, Mayhew and co. have (politely) mentioned it many times saying they're glad that happened so he could fall to the end of the first so yeah, he is kind of a bastard
  5. my new favorite Schwartz quote “Some people watch adult videos on their computer. I go to YouTube and watch Jahvid Best highlight clips. That’s what gets me going.”
  6. there's a much much much better Ribiero embellishment, let me see if i can find it edit: oh my god, the sound effects make it even that much better
  7. i'm kinda shocked slow, useless Donovan Warren hasn't done the same thing, upon seeing the Jets have the best corps of corners in all of the league and he'll never get a shot to display his lack of skills
  8. Yeah, that jumped out at me too. That slugging is all kinds of nice, though. he didn't walk much last year, but if he can make consistent hard contact (which seems to be his greatest asset at the plate) and keep the ball in play, he projects as a .300+ hitter in the big leagues and the lack of walks won't kill him. the biggest concern with guys who have a poor walk rate is that they can't make enough contact. he actually improved his patience considerably during the season last year (even as he was graduating levels), so he's at least shown he's not incapable of it Split PA BB% K% April 68 2.9% 11.8% May 91 2.2% 9.9% June 112 6.3% 9.8% July 85 5.9% 7.1%
  9. oh please keep us updated
  10. Castro's had an MLE on the season so far of .345/.361/.534 – i'll take that
  11. They need a LT. Watch out for this Lions teams. It pains me to say it, but they are freaking stacked now if they get a good LT. Backus actually is a good LT. their main problem in protection was fielding the worst LG rotation in the league, but the trade for Sims fixed that
  12. Best isn't a surprise, but we're really going to be so thin at DB
  13. i can't imagine how hard this must be for you
  14. !!! http://www.sportingnews.com/images/126822/article.jpeg
  15. the biggest stretch is Mathews to Seattle; it just doesn't make any sense. for all his talk about needing a full-time back, they don't – Forsett is really quite good already
  16. i tried thinking about an upshot to this and promptly suffered an aneurysm
  17. This. If you can't sell out a playoff game, you should have your team taken away. i don't even think the Wings sold out their game last night; it surely didn't look like it
  18. they've been ripping Howard pretty bad on The Ticket today
  19. i don't really get the Sims for Scheffler (for 5th rdr) deal, from the Lions perspective they can find a good backup TE in the 3rd or 4th (i'd have liked Graham or Hernandez) a lot easier than they could a starting LB. now they've backed into a corner where they have to focus at least a pick exclusively on both LB and CB. Sims' play would also have been set to improve vastly with block eating tackles like Williams, Hill and probably Suh up front.
  20. Sickels' all questions answered thread:
  21. let's find out, get rid of him before everybody else becomes keenly aware how destined for failure he is
  22. everybody here thinks a whole lot higher of Vitters than i do, that's for sure
  23. wow Buffalo, Mike Grier as your extra attacker??
