  1. I know....I keep telling myself to collect the best quotes from RealGM but I'm too lazy.
  2. It's gonna have to be another MJ Flu game because Nate has caught the mysterious bug that Deng and Taj have and is now questionable.
  3. It will be hard for Suter to keep logging that much TOI. A loss in OT has to be about the worst possible scenario for the Wild in game one. They don't have the depth to sustain success if their top lines and pairings are getting double shifted. He had 31 minutes in regulation. He did lead the NHL in average TOI in the regular season, something like 26-27 mins per game. It's a short season so I could see him logging that much, but over time he will probably be less effective.
  4. I [expletive] love it. It's been beautiful out and I've been able to go to the past two. Might make it 3 for 3 tonight (probably not, though - all the beer and hot dogs are going to take a toll). I love night games so much more. May not be traditional for Wrigley, but I love the way the stadium looks at night, plus I love having something to watch when I come home from work.
  5. I know this is just a mockup, but I hope they don't waste jumbotron space with the inning-by-inning linescore when the same thing is up on the actual scoreboard. Unless they take the Cubs off the original scoreboard so that they can fit another game on it, since I believe the scoreboard doesn't have enough space for a full slate of games.
  6. Haha I doubt that any team in the NHL cheers when the opponent is one of the 3 stars. Especially in a playoff game. Also, regarding the Wild fans, I'm going to guess they all think they can win the series now?
  7. This is what I fear EVERY TIME the goalie leaves the crease I was panicking when Craw lost his goalie stick yesterday and it ended up all the way in the corner and had to go retrieve it as play was going on.
  8. That was [expletive] beautiful
  9. [expletive]. Kill this
  10. Hope it goes as long as Game 1 vs. Calgary in 2009 with the same result. Was that Havlat? It was
  11. Hope it goes as long as Game 1 vs. Calgary in 2009 with the same result.
  12. They just said on the score that there are somehow still tickets available for this one.
  13. Yep. Says a lot about the franchise that 2 of my favorite Cubs playoff memories (Wood's HR and the Sosa game tying HR) came in losses. I was 1 in 84 and don't really remember anything about the 89 playoffs so I guess those 2 moments go on a list with Gaetti's WC playoff HR (technically regular season but whatever), Wood's double in game 1 vs. ATL, Sosa's HR off the camera well, ARam's Grand Slam and absolutely nothing from 07 and 08.
  14. It would be nice if it didn't matter and wasn't a big story. If he was the 778th player to come out that would be the case. But it does matter and it is a big story. And if other people don't like it they are entitled to their opinion but they are also entitled to know they are horrible human beings. I understand it would be newsworthy and a bigger deal if it were someone like a Steph Curry, a rising star and young player with a promising future in the league for years to come. Collins doesn't currently have a job and it wouldn't be shocking if he doesn't have one next season averaging 2 pts a game. I question his motives and timing. That is all. How does it benefit him at all to come out right before he becomes a FA?
  15. I had all of those 03 playoff games on DVR and I deleted them in disgust a few days after the NLCS. I really wish I hadn't. I have almost no evidence left that Mark Prior happened. I just found this on MLB.com's YouTube page...the full game 7 from '03. No Prior but we can relive Wood's HR and pretend it was a walkoff.
  16. Sounds like it will only be allowed to display content that the MLB allows though. Not like the NBA where anyone is allowed to post full games to YouTube. Still a step in the right direction though. I just hate how great moments in the 03 and 08 seasons are basically lost forever to me.
  17. Jason Collins is coming out. Good for him! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazine/news/20130429/jason-collins-gay-nba-player/?sct=hp_t11_a1&eref=sihp
  18. Also, my prediction is Hawks in 5. Chicago lets Minnesota take Game 4 to show their appreciation for beating the Stars 2 years ago to let the Hawks sneak into the playoffs.
  19. Doesn't mean anything at all but I hate the fact that the last time we won the President's Trophy we played a Minnesota team in the 1st round and bad things happened.
