  1. That all sounds fantastic. Of course there are going to be meatballs that oppose things like a Jumbotron, but to me it doesn't make sense that you show have a less enjoyable game experience because we want Wrigley to feel the same as 70 years ago. You know what else they had 70 years ago? Radio as a primary form of entertainment. I don't see people clamporing for their favorite shows to be broadcast on the radio because that's how they were enjoyed in the 1940's
  2. Brilliant analysis. I bet most people thought we should block Jacksons arrival with a significantly less productive player like Neifi Perez.
  3. I would say a 5 minute major which directly led to a goal when he should have been given a 2 minute minor is sufficient punishment when Shaw obviously didn't mean to hurt him.
  4. If LeBron guards Rose he could absolutely go 1-13 again, but the Heat lack so much depth that I can't see any way they can beat the Bulls unless LBJ/Wade/Bosh just go bonkers. With Chicago's defense, I don't see any way that happens. The Heat is extremely vulnerable to Chicago, and I'm not sure they could take Boston or New York. IMO that LeBron guarding Rose thing is way overblown from an extremely small sample size of possessions.
  5. Is that the consensus that it's playing like a pitchers park? Or just to LF?
  6. I was at the Royals game today in KC for business and on the scoreboard it said Carpenter hit a 2 run HR and I thought to myself that it figured Chris Carpenter comes off the DL to hit a HR against the Cubs.
  7. So the only series that are at 2-0 are ones in which the road team won the first 2 games (Kings-Canucks, Flyers-Pens)
  8. Gotta be a little demoralizing to give up the game tying goal with less than 15 seconds 2 games in a row and have to leave home tied despite playing pretty well.
  9. It's nice to benefit from a defensive zone turnover for once :)
  10. BICKELLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1-1 bitches What a win! Played terribly at times, but clutch when they needed to be. Thank God. Win 2 at home and take control of the series please!
  11. Phoenix has pretty much been in control since the first 3 minutes or so. Very disappointing that the Hawks cannot outplay Phoenix for any sort of sustained period. Win or lose its obvious the Hawks don't have an extra playoff gear.
  12. Wow, that was extremely fortunate. 9 times out of 10 that is converted into a goal
  13. omg I thought that was over for a second. Great chance
  14. starting like last OT with the Hawks peppering shots at Smith, although I'd say they looked better to start the OT in game 1. The shots certainly were better in game 1.
  15. At least we'd be the only 0-2 team with home games coming up
  16. Still don't feel all that great about this one, but at least there's a chance for some Ben Smith-like magic
  17. Last game was with 14 secs left, tonight with 5. Unreal
  18. Holy [expletive] they did it again. Different result please
  19. This [expletive] terrible boring hockey. What happened to puck possession? When did we stop emphasizing that?
  20. we really are not getting any good offensive chances at all going back into last period. No prolonged periods in our own zone, its get in there and turn it over or throw up a contested shot that doesnt have much of a chance. You figure with a team that is known for its great neutral zone play, the Hawks would suck it up and do some dump and chase to get in the zone but no very little of that to be seen
  21. Sweet a Delay of Game penalty on the Hawks. What the [expletive] [expletive] Bickell
  22. First goal of this game was a PP goal. shut up
  23. Hawks are now 0 for their last 17 power plays and 3 for their last 52....
  24. Here's another chance to underwhelm. Honestly, there is no advantage at all when the Hawks play with an extra man. I would guess if you took the Hawks PP conversion rate, and extrapolated over a full season, they would score less goals than the team actually did this season What I don't get is..... Toews, Hossa, Kane, Sharp, Seabrook...these 5 guys were on the team 2 years ago when the PP was pretty good. What happened
  25. The worst thing is, losing this series might help keep the Coyotes in this horrible hockey market.
