I hope he's not concussed.......

[expletive]
-
Little would get through to the net if that were to happen....PKs are set up for position players to block shooting lanes
-
I love me some Hossa
-
That was some pretty power play action and a rocket from Hoss
-
lol Hawks probably should have been tagged for too many men, but no call....seconds later the Hawks score!

Yes, that's what's driving this. A UNC alum wanting to destroy the ACC I fail to understand any other motivation for adding mediocre (in football) filler, small-TV-market programs like UNC and Virginia. UVA, I am not sure about. It's a very good academic school though IIRC, and I'm sure they have alum all over VA, including Richmond to Norfolk to the suburbs of DC. Sportswise, UVA is certainly better than Rutgers and I think they have a loyal following, but overall meh. UNC is also an excellent academic school I believe. They are located in that Greensboro/Raleigh/Durham area which is quite populated, but obviously not really a major market (Raleigh-Durham is 47th largest metro). But again its a state school and I'm sure has pull across NC, including Charlotte. Sportswise, UNC basketball would be a huge get, and UNC football can be good. I wonder if having members in VA and NC would do anything to help recruiting in the SE for the rest of the conference.

I know you are talking about everyday starting OFs, but the Cubs could have rocked one down the stretch in 07 with Floyd, Jock, Monroe, EPatt and Ward all playing the OF at one point or another. Edit: possibly in 06 too with Jones, Pierre and Fast Freddie Bynum

I was going to make fun of the fact that Campana in 1800 major and minor league PAs has never hit a ball fair over the fence but I just noticed had a HR in AAA last year. Was this a legit home run or an inside the park variety like his ML homer? -
Wow....I definitely didn't expect that to happen.
-
I guess Schneider is starting then If not, forecast calls for Chelsea Dagger early and often tomorrow.
-
Anyone care to rank the B1G at this point in the season? Not just how they are playing right now, just overall rankings of how good you feel the teams are.
-
I don't even mind that Paul drained that shot over him. That was badass.
-
I forgot that the Hawks finished last season (pre-playoffs) really strong. Apparently, the Hawks are 24-2-7 in the regular season since trading for Johnny Oduya on Feb 27th last year. Even if you include the playoffs thats 26-3-10. Thats amazing. In their last 39 games (9 days short of a full calendar year, aided by a lengthy lockout of course), the Hawks have lost in regulation only 3 times. 3/6 @ STL (1-5), 3/26 vs. NAS (1-6), 4/23 vs. PHX (playoffs, 0-4).
-
Minnesota is 6-7 in the Big Ten with @ OSU and vs. Ind as their next 2. Could be veering into bubble range after those 2. Their last 3 are quite winnable though so 9-9 is still looking like a possibility.
-
Better odds of making the playoffs than: Royals (12.1%) Padres (9.5%) Orioles (4.8%) Rockies (4.8%) Marlins (1.7%) Twins (1.5%) Astros (0.4%)

Great MJ article on espn.com today. I thought it would be another "he's 50" fluff piece and in many ways it is but I found it engaging as the writer spent a lot of time with him recently and it's very much an insider account of MJ and his inner circle and what drives him these days.
-
I know the jokes have all been made before, but Jackson trying to adjust his swing in order to strike out less by working with, among others, Rob Deer just seems odd.
-
Celtics scored 11 points in the 2nd and 8 in the 3rd. Geez. After 3 this game is on pace to be a 65-57 Bulls win.
-
Dammit Cubs, show some interest in a plot of land in Lombard already. Everyone knows the cubs will be bluffing, but hopefully enough bar and rooftop owners would [expletive] themselves so that Tunney can stop this charade.
-
I didn't mind Saad getting a chance, but I agree with you. Maybe because Hoss is more of a shooter than a deker. This was a question brought up on CSN's postgame show. I think they said Hoss was 14-42 in his career which is 33%, well below Kane and Toews, but still not a terrible number for a 3rd shooter (I think....shootout statistics are hard to find). I honestly have no idea if there is a skillset for shootouts, or if there is if it differs from overall skillset. I'm sure there's some sort of link, otherwise you'd find more 4th line players who randomly have a skill for shootouts. (there's a few I think)
-
Should have went with paper....oh well
-
Tazer
-
time to rock paper scissors for the 2nd point
-
13 games with at least a point, 3 off the Ducks record. Let's get the 2nd point though please.
