    I was about to cry tears of sadness and now I'm crying tears of joy. Or relief.
  2. UMFan83
    All our opponents that bitch about us having amazing puck luck are loving that.
  3. UMFan83
    Hate to admit this but TB defense has been really really good
  4. UMFan83
    Lmao 2 SOG
  5. UMFan83
    Well terrible period so I guess it's good were tied
  6. UMFan83

  7. UMFan83

    Q is literally changing lines every shift
  9. UMFan83
    Not a very good start.
  10. UMFan83
    Sweet. Strand a lead off triple with the heart of the order batting lol

    I don't think the Cubs understand the meaning of a "Designated Hitter". The person added to the lineup doesn't have to have the hitting ability of a pitcher.

    I mean I know they are friendlies against disinterested teams (well at least Germany), but winning back to back in Holland and Germany is pretty sweet

    I can't read the accompanying article. I'm asssuming below that picture it says: "No."

    Space on the cup is filling up, Timonen is in as well. Not sure for who, but I'm assuming Cumiskey unless Oduya is too injured to play, which I desperately hope not. Edit: if i just kept reading....looks like its Cumiskey and Runblad sitting, Oduya appears to be in

    I hope the Hawks come out tonight like they did in Game 5 of the 2010 Final against Philly. I remember it being pretty much the most dominant period of hockey I've seen from this team in an important game. This is all on memory, but I feel like the entire period was spent in the Flyers zone, peppering shots at Leighton (or whoever was in goal at that point in the series). At first it was frustrating because I think we went 12 minutes without a goal before finally scoring 3 the rest of the period.

    He's an RFA right, so I guess they could "pursue" him. But those big offer sheets happen so rarely for a reason. Pittsburgh can't even extend an offer sheet to him because they lost their 1st round pick when they traded for David Perron. The only way they could get him is if the Blackhawks will willing to trade him. Actually, I'm pretty sure that's not true. I believe the it's the 2016 first rounder that would be at risk. Yeah I'm an idiot and trusted LeBrun's info

    That has to be the worst draft haul in baseball history
  20. UMFan83
    Maybe the contract is bothering Lester again.
  21. UMFan83
    I think the Tigers are like 9-1 against the Cubs since 2001.
  22. UMFan83
    Is this the game where the meatballs start foaming at the mouth with hate for Lester?
  23. UMFan83
    This is misleading. When judging possession stats, most people use a "close" score situation. That's when the game is within a goal through the first two periods or tied in the third. Adjusting for that criteria has Tampa with more Corsi events in two of the three games. It's not a surprise Chicago has more total shot attempts, they've been trailing for the majority of the series. Score effects are very real and pronounced. There hasn't been a 2 goal lead the entire series, so the entire first 2 periods of each game count. In the third periods, the Hawks have been tied for around 24 minutes (just going from my head...about 2 minutes in game 1, 5 minutes in game 2 and 17 minutes in gmae 3) so we're looking at just over 7/9 periods within the close score situation, or just about exactly 80% of the series. But I haven't found situational Corsi stats so if you are saying that's correct then it is. That said, I would be willing to bet that its close to 50-50 in the 2 games Tampa had the advantage.
  24. UMFan83
    So the Hawks have won the Corsi battle in all 3 games so far, suggesting that they have actually been the better team this series. Now's the time for that to work in our favor... Game 1: Corsi For (CF): 53.6% Corsi Against (CA): 46.4% Game 2: CF: 50.5% CA: 49.5% Game 3: CF: 56.8% CA: 43.2%
