Sweet, 4 on 3 in OT!
-
boo, lets get this game to OT and keep the streak going. That should have been goaltender interference
-
time to reassess michigan or just a terrible game against a great team on the road? I just don't know anymore. They will fatten up on the Penn States on the league coming up, but that doesnt exactly inspire confidence. Trying not to be down because they are still a very talented team but yeah...
-
I didnt see anything that suggested that the puck was conclusively over the goal line before the net got knocked out. It was starting to go over the line, was kinda kicked out, and then finally went over the line but it looked like the net was knocked off before. I'll definitely take it but I've seen better goals get disallowed in the past.

Yay for Craw and the PK!!
-
Well that sucks
-
And he was! That was a bit of a surprise
-
we suck
-
Awesome save, and even better PK especially by Kruger. This has been an entertaining game so far.
-
It's so weird that after tonight Michigan will have played each of the other "top 7" teams (MSU, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois) on the road but will have only played Ohio at home.

The 2012 Offseason Thread
UMFan83 replied to ctcf's topic in MLB Draft, International Signings, Amateur Baseball
Sweet Jesus, we'll be lucky if he's hitting .100 by August. But really, I'm really excited about the Indians' offseason. No huge names, and Swisher is essentially a wash with Choo (except for +Bauer), but I'll take Reynolds, Bourn, Capps, Aviles, Stubbs, and Brett Myers over some of the AA players I saw at the end of last year. And, if even one of the no risk flyers we took on Giambi, Dice-K, and Kazmir turns into big league production then that's just a bonus. We added a ton of depth and have a shot at winning a game or two against a left handed starting pitcher this year. It makes me wonder if Francona had any impact on these signings. This doesn't immediately make us Central competitors, but I'm much more hopeful. Funny I was actually thinking about the Indians possibly being a surprise team this year before I found out about Bourn. The lineup has quite a few good hitters in it (I think 6-7 had 3+ WARs last year). The pitching is the huge question mark but there is still upside with Bauer and Masterson, and maybe even Jimenez. Wouldnt call them contenders, but they've had a nice offseason and could surprise. -
TCU sure played like it tonight. How do you score 11 points in a half? Ask NIU
-
Just looking at their remaining schedule to see what is likely vs. Purdue @ Northwestern vs. Penn St @ Michigan vs. Nebraska @ Iowa @ Ohio State That's not bad at all, despite 4 road games. If they take care of business at home and take 1 of the 4 road games, they're in no matter who the wins are against.

Based on last year's WC 8th place team (Kings with 1.158 points per game), the 8th place team in the West would have approximately 56 points this year. The Blackhawks already have 22 after 12 games. If they went .500 the rest of the year, they would take an additional 36 points, putting them at 58 for the season. That's pretty awesome to be at a point where they only need to take half their remaining points to make the playoffs with 75% of the season remaining. I'm going to expect much better though

Top of the ESPN poll is quite different. Duke is #1 and more decisively than Indiana in the AP (18 first place votes). Indiana is #2 with 6 first place votes, follow by Gonzaga (1), Miami (5) and Michigan (1)
-
Gotta love Meyer's cocky ass trying to fix the entire Big Ten instead of just his Buckeyes.
-
Indiana retains #1 in a very split AP poll. They get 26 1st place votes, Duke gets 20, Miami 17, Michigan gets 0 but is 4th, followed by Gonzaga who got 2 votes. Michigan St. is 8th, Ohio State 13th, Wisconsin hits a fluke miracle half court 3 and jumps into the poll at 20 (sorry still bitter :)), Minnesota drops out of the top 25 to 26th, and Illinois gains votes but is only 35th overall. Florida somehow drops from 2nd to 7th and Kansas drops all the way to 14th.

Every question going into the season has been a yes Can Crawford play like he did 2 years ago? yes Can Hjammer and Oduya hold up as the 2nd pairing? yes Is Nick Leddy going to take the next step? yes Are Toews and Hossa fully recovered? yes While some people say Kane has been pretty lucky so far, Sharp has been very unlucky hitting the post seemingly once a game. Don't forget "Can the special teams not suck this year?" The PP has faded a bit and the sample size is still small but we've gone from 25th in PP and 26th in PK to 16th and 1st
-
Haha I figured if the Blackhawks were around .500 after the brutal 10 in 12 on the road start, I'd be satisfied. I certainly didn't expect the Hawks to be undefeated in regulation, 10-0-2 overall, have a 7 point lead in the division and 3 more points than any other team in the NHL after this stretch.
-
We did it!!!! A shutout! First shutout since April 2011

Ok Duke came back and won. Disregard that post. I still think Indiana will stay 1 despite the loss to Illinois. That was an extremely impressive road win today. Normally they wouldn't stay 1 but when the 2,3 and 5 teams all lost and Duke doesn't inspire confidence in anyone, they will probably get the nod.
-
lol Duke is losing to BC now if that holds (down 3 with 2 minutes left), I think its pretty much a reset and Indiana stays #1. Man if Indiana had lost today, Gonzaga could have had a slight shot to jump up to #1. Guessing Indiana and Florida will remain 1-2, Gonzaga and Arizona jump up to 3-4, Miami 5

They're doing that stupid [expletive] thing again this year? Only bad things can come of that, like Campana winning and the "fans" pointing to that as being a reason he should be starting over Soriano. Who cares....extra long spring training this year because of the WBC correct?
