Are you playing me? :-)) I have all three of those guys. Have Forte too. Would like to see him get it going.

So it's lose then.

EDIT: Picks are fine too. :yahoo:

Remember when our D used to get sacks?

Wow. SJax is a MONSTER today. Another long TD just now. 31-7 Rams. Just wow.

That's how I felt about the Eagles game this year. So frustrating.

But my Bears D is getting credit for a fumble recovery TD. For the third one today. :good: That should change. I don't know how yours is scored, but I've had stuff like that happen to me in the past and it was later rescinded. Yahoo and Fanball are both counting it right now. But you're probably right. I have A-Pete too. Sometimes I have fantasy football.

Romo warming up on the sideline as second half starts.

Whew. Man online radio feed is so far behind. I need to stay out of this thread and stattracker.

was he down?

Missed the game last night. Terrible, but at least they got a point. But what's going on with the Blues? 4-1, young guys playing well. I'm sure they will come back to earth a bit, but they might end up a playoff contender after all.

What a half! Now let's get another TD.

Dave Toub for President!

0-2-1 start notwithstanding, I went ahead and ordered Center Ice today. It's the last day for the "early bird" price. With so many of the games in HD and getting the Hawks feed for most games, it's a no-brainer. Now let's start winning so I don't regret this!

That's unbelievably terrible.

](*,) ](*,) ](*,) ](*,) Why the hell did we sign Huet then? I assume you are referring to the rotation. I can only assume they are trying to showcase Khabi to get teams interested. If he plays in 15 of the first 30 games he could get traded and leave Huet as the undisputed starter. I was. And I did have that thought as well, and I hope that's what is going on. I should know not to get frustrated after just two games, but I can't help it. Lots of expectations on this team, and a loss tonight would leave them in an early hole. If you think that's not important, just look at the final standings last year. 4 more points in Oct/Nov last year and the Hawks would have been in the playoffs.

I haven't bothered to sign up, and from what I'm hearing it's probably not worth my time.

And the Blues pulled it out today, 5-4 in a shootout. Sounded on the radio like a very entertaining game. Berglund got his first and Oshie was a madman. The young guys just might make it a very interesting season here.

Blues went down quickly 3-0 today in Toronto on Canadian Thanksgiving, only to come right back with three in the first six minutes of the 2nd period. Sure, a 5-minute major on Hollweg helped. Boyes already has three goals on the season and Tkachuk has four. Wow.

You're ripping him off if you took it with Holmes. You're not saying you'd rather have Holmes than Coles, are you? I'm saying you'd be ripping him off with a wet sack of dog poop in that 3rd spot. That's what I thought you meant. I think I'll still make that deal if offered, but I play that guy this week. I am up by 15. Opponent has Jacobs and I have Eli/Plax. I'm comfortable.

And we really need a bye, because my wedding is on Wild Card Saturday. I have about an equal split of Bears and Packers fans coming to the wedding. Both are whining. Naturally, I didn't pick the date. I would have been cognizant of such things.

Yeah he recovered that fumble and then randomly fumbled the ball again while trying to get up. I don't mean to rehash this, but I will. I didn't actually hear an explanation. He tried to down himself, or thought he did, but nobody blew the whistle? Is that the explanation? Just a tough break. He said he tried to get up to run with the ball and the ball just wedged between him and the ground and sorta popped out. Got it. It looked like he threw it aside. Either way, like I said, just a tough break in a game full of them. Game was full of crappy secondary play too though.

The defenseman is the one who starts the charge up the ice, as you put it. He needs to know where his forwards are going to be. Of course their roles are different. But I don't think it's a stretch at all to describe the relationship of all five players as having something to do with "chemistry." breakouts are largely set plays, it's something you practice everday, and it's usually a system created by the coaching staff. the "chemistry" between a dman and a forward is almost non-existent. there are set plays in the offensive zone, but it's mostly a free-flow between the forwards (because you can't predict how a defense will react when things actually start happening in the offensive zone, whereas if you watch enough tape, you can see how a defense protects against a breakout). brian campbell is an offensive dman, but he's still a dman. he's going to pinch more often than most, but that doesn't make him any less of a dman. it should also be noted that he's not going to be on the ice with toews and kane on every shift at even strength. bleh, tried to find shift charts for this year but they're not available. i hate that nhl.com took them off their website. Breakouts are often set plays, but much of the time they aren't and you have to adapt to where the puck is when you're trying to clear it.
