    It would have been funny if he said that he didnt find anti-vaxers attractive.

    As amazing as it sounds, Kirk Hinrich is actually getting worse as the season goes on. I don't know if his confidence is shot, or he's hurt or if he's tanking so Thibs doesn't play him because he knows he's hurting the team, but I haven't seen a player affect the game as much as Hinrich since Michael Jordan.

    Not 1, not 2 but 3 miracle 3s for Northwestern. That plus some dumb decisions by Michigan and 3-4 terrible calls down the stretch in favor of NW is all it took to keep NW in the game. Either way this is one of the craziest games I've seen this year.

    I'd be nearly impossible to slip past the 6 seed, so just ignore the Bulls for 4-5 weeks and hope they are healthy and can do their best in the playoffs.

    Looks like the Blues are loading up too. Traded for Jokinen

    Should we take the fact that the Hawks are going "all in" during a season where their best player won't return until the WCF as a sign the Hawks are going to be gutted in the offseason? Or just being creative with the extra $5 mil from Kane?

    Interesting. Farwell Ben Smith, I will always remember you for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rTKAMCmiBc

    Is it bad that I'm putting together WCF lines in my head with Vermette and Kane both included?
  10. UMFan83
    Hawks pull the trigger on the Vermette trade @TSNBobMcKenzie: Klas Dahlbeck and 1st round pick for Vermette. That is ARI-CHI trade, pending call.
  11. UMFan83
    That is like job jeopardizingly brutal.

    Ha

    No doubt, although in terms of 6 straight exciting games, last year's Blues series is close. In the Preds series Games 2-4 were relatively one sided.

    Thank you for sending me down that Blackhawks 2010 Cup black hole. Words cannot describe how awesome those Kane and Hossa goals were. Edit: Hmm maybe words can describe it.... viewtopic.php?f=44&t=57157&start=750

    My least favorite Cub maybe ever. Neifi Perez? Aaron Miles aka Neifi Perez redux Bob Howry LaTroy Hawkins Milton Bradley

    I love the trend of players officially retiring after they can't find a job for 2+ seasons. Dude's been retired for awhile, he just didn't know it.
  17. UMFan83
    Gar pretty much made it be known that there would be disappointment if Rose does not return this year.
  18. UMFan83
    Yeah Aramis was the best. I was sad to see him leave, especially to a division rival, but I understood it had to be done. He will always be one of my favorites...I sucks that its fairly unlikely he will hit 400 HRs for his career (31 short).

    Apparently Quenneville was pretty down on Rozsival with the media yesterday, finally. Took him 3/4 of the year

    Becoming more mainstream news with Puck Daddy running with it: http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/blackhawks-divided-over-locker-room-fight--personal-issues--reports-195228660.html Of course this could still just be the same rumor as last year.
  21. UMFan83
    Don't know who this guy is but his Twitter account is verified. Certainly seems like he's referencing the Sharp/Keith rumors with his last line.
  22. UMFan83
    Supposedly tomorrow (Friday)

    It will be tough, but the Blues become mental midgets every time the chips are on the line. Bowman needs to get off his ass and get a d man quick, cut down on the shots against. LA got stronger with their trade, and once again Stan is twiddling his thumbs, like last year and cost the Hawks a cup. I really hope they aren't gonna punt this season now that Kane is injured. They won't punt, especially if they can use the newly opened cap space to add someone. And yes everything has run through Kane and he's been on another level this year but at least they have 20 some games to figure it out. They still have a lot of scoring punch and if Teuvo can get some real playing time, Bickell can round into his usual playoff form, Shaw can stop acting like a skill player and crash the net, and some of Toews, Saad, Hossa and Sharp (if he is still here) step up, we can still be a formidable offensive team. The question is the defense IMO. I hope TVR can come back and show the potential he showed earlier in the year, and maybe we can pick up a 2nd or 3rd liner for depth. Anyways, this is definitely a blow that hurts our cup chances, but I don't think it eliminates them...I think we have too much talent and have the time to readjust ourselves to play w/o Kane. Since its not like we're in danger of missing the playoffs at this point, there is time to take some lumps and figure it out.

    Right..and Rose is a stubborn dude with people that he trusts telling him to be cautious. But being cautious has caused him to play 1 game in 3 postseasons and now he's hurt and in jeopardy is missing a 4th. If there was ever a point where he changed his injury recovery mindset, it would be now. On the other hand, if there is any shot of Rose privately balking at coming back, the Bulls could easily leak his expected timetable for a return to the press to put more pressure on him. It didn't work 2 years ago but the pressure should be even higher now considering the time he's missed, the examples of his peers having a very similar surgery and coming back quick, and the fact that his star is not as bright as it was back then.
  25. UMFan83
    Lot of optimism on Twitter led by KC Johnson that Rose could play again this year. KC has been very careful not to say that but he keeps saying the injury isnt as bad as last years and compared the surgery to Doug McDermott's earlier this year.
