Re: NHL (Blackhawks included) offseason thread
Wilson A2000 replied to Prizefight's topic in Other Sports
stupid? you know, i could have easily called the stuff you said stupid, but i didn't. HUET IS BEING SENT DOWN AND WONT BE OUR GOALIE NEXT YEAR. seriously, go on capgeek and take 2 minutes to look at the roster and it's completely obvious he's being sent down. this is njot an issue. oh, and Niemi didn't have the 4th best save percentage in the NHL. he wasn't even close. he was tied for 19th, right behind MARTY TURCO http://espn.go.com/nhl/statistics/player/_/stat/goaltending/sort/savePct/year/2010/seasontype/2 edit: and btw, hjalmarsson is not our 4th best d-man. he's third, and would be second on most teams. I meant goals against average. So if you don't care for Niemi, who is the Hawks goalie next year? Any way you cut it, getting rid of Niemi because of your fourth best defenseman is hockey stupid when you don't have a better option. The Hawks had one player in the top 10 in the NHL in points (8th with Kane) last year. He is a star, not a superstar. So is Toews. Very good players, not superstars. But there is a very good chance that I am hockey stupid too. -

Yes I genuinely do wonder if they will send Huet down. It's a fair question that the administration hasn't answered yet. The way Bowman has been handing the offseason, nothing would surprise me. Niemi is not an average goalie. He was fourth in the NHL in save percentage last year and was stellar in the playoffs. You are hockey stupid if you think arguably the most important position in professional sports is less important than your fourth-best defenseman. Have fun with Huet as your full-time goalie next year. You don't compete without your fourth-best defender? Hahahahhaha. Not saying he isn't important, but he sure as heck isn't more important than Niemi. Toews and Kane are stars, not superstars. -
Then they would be charging them with murder when they line it right back to their pitching coach, but it would be entertaining He said let them use aluminum bats, not "get rid of the L screen." Also, I've never seen anybody hit a ball back into the screen. Why would they do it with an aluminum bat? I was waiting for Nick Swisher to crush one into those cameras sitting right next to home plate.

Re: Five best and worst MLB broadcasting teams

Are there any good national teams you guys like? -
Never knew there were 2 All-Star games in the late 50s and early 60s. How come?
-
Jiminez with a 90 MPH changeup. Must be nice.

No not really. Pat is good but not that good. -
So it looks like the NL is only wearing the super helmets.
-
What kind of helmets are they wearing? The super helmets that you wear if you get plunked in the head and want to keep from getting injured again?
-
The NL is winning this one. The AL is soft at the end of the pen. That is where the game will be won.

Living in Atlanta I get to hear.... Ernie Johnson and John Smoltz. They have to be quickly climbing that ladder, even though this is Smoltz's first season. Thankfully, Chip only does a few games. -

Can the Hawks afford Niemi now that they signed Hjalmarson? If they don't sign Niemi due to Hjalmarson, Bowman should be fired. The Hawks don't have a superstar on offense. The won with depth, and now that depth has been seriously depleted. Any word on whether the Hawks will send Huet down to the minors? Would Rocky eat 5 million to save Niemi? -
Bosh is not very photogenic is he? I have yet to see LeBron at the center of any pictures. This has to hurt his brand. "The chosen one" - ha! He isn't even the chosen one on his won team.
-
I wonder if a player would ever take a risk at trying to negotiate a highly incentive-laden contract that would give them the chance of doubling their salary if they performed up to expectations.
-
I really can't think of one move that ever turned out well for MJ as an owner/GM. He just isn't very good at working the front office in basketball. Concerning Reddick, why sign him when you have a very similar player in Korver? Get Barnes who is a little more athletic and guards the 2's significantly better? I am tired of the Bulls trotting out their 6'3" 2 guards.
-
Haslem, Chalmers, and Miller are not also rans. They are putting together a solid team. They just need a center. Shaq? That is until David Stern steps in and voids LeBron's contract due to collusion. He has burned too many bridges with Cleveland and will go to the Bulls.
-
Every time Jesse Jackson opens his mouth, he sets back racial equality. African Americans deserve a much better pubic representative.
-
Is Fisher even going to be a starter in LA now that Blake was brought in?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-bears-biggs-0709,0,352900.story Green Bay will be around there, the Bears will be around there. But Minnesota is winning more than that and Detroit is too. Detroit is shaping up to be quite a team. They have too much talent to win 3 games.
-
Wait the Bulls might get Korver and Reddick? That is exceeding the maximum of one white shooting guard that is allowable. Reisndorf thinks the Bulls are better than the Heat. And that was before Reddick! http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-spt-0710-bulls-jerry-reinsdorf-chi20100709,0,4251493.story

He's about as good as Ben Gordon. Both try hard, but they both just don't have the size or athleticism to do it well.
-
They are using Obama's federal budget theory: buy now, figure out how to pay later.
-
LeBron will make more in Miami due to not having to pay state taxes and Cleveland's excessive 2% city tax. Of course LeBron could get a sixth year in Cleveland, but he will obviously won't stop playing after this contract. He really isn't leaving much money on the table. http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/07/lebron-could-make-more-money-in-miami-than-cleveland---thank-you-state-taxes.php
-
The reason the Jazz aren't contending for a championship is because the Lakers have Kobe. The paint is a factor, but it doesn't come close to Kobe.
-
I don't buy that. I don't think that would keep LeBron from signing a deal of this magnitude if he thought Chicago was the best place for him to go. From everything I heard, LeBron made his decision by himself. Reinsdorf was interviewed today and he said the only thing LeBron demanded was his own personal trainer and Reinsdorf agreed to it.
