    At the strike of midnight, it has been 17,951 days (roughly 1,077,060 hours or 64,623,600 seconds) since the Chicago Blackhawks have lifted the Stanley Cup in triumph. Will tomorrow bring that number back to 0? I really really hope so.
  2. UMFan83
    What's he going to do? Play dirty? Seriously...if you need something like this for extra motivation in the Stanley Cup Finals, you don't belong there.
  3. UMFan83
    lol, that was clearly a moving screen and the right call, but you had to think the officials were desperately looking for a makeup call there.

    http://www.chicagobreakingsports.com/2010/06/leighton-back-in-goal-for-flyers.html what an idiot. the only reason leighton has "the best numbers in the playoffs" is because he hasn't played much and has his numbers pumped up by 3 shutouts against a terrible montreal offense. i wonder what niemi's postseason numbers would look like if he got to play the bruins and canadiens instead of the canucks and sharks The most important point as to why we need to ask that question is because YOU PULLED LEIGHTON AFTER THE FIRST PERIOD OF TWO DIFFERENT FINALS GAMES. Idiot.

    i'm 100% against this for multiple reasons. so [expletive] stupid, and pretty embarrassing to the city Meh, why be so serious, it's sports and they were just having fun with it. They even said they would like Pronger if he was on the Hawks.

    I like tracking those "How Loud is it" articles after each game. For those wondering if the UC might have had a touch of nervousness in the crowd during the game, you might be right but overall there wasn't much difference. The highest reading was 119, while the highest reading in the first 2 games was 122 I believe. For the goals scored, in game 1, the reaction ranged from 110-118, in Game 5, 112-116 (not including the EN goal that was the 119). http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=531098

    seriously. Petition the NHL for a 21 game series plz. First to 11 wins.

    I did that in 2008 with bleachers. I like sitting in the bleachers once in awhile, but after the 4th or 5th game, I wish I had a different vantage point and could sit on the other side of the park. The people don't bother me though...you gotta expect a big contingent of "lets get drunk and have a good time" fans when the Cubs suck this badly.
  9. UMFan83
    Why? It's never a bad thing for guys to get extra time off, especially when they're one of the few useful players on the Cubs right now. You want Marmol rested for what exactly? 2011?
  10. UMFan83
    Meh, this is one of those games where Marmol gets burned for allowing those runners. Normally he doesn't. Shouldn't hurt his all star candidacy too much. That's all I'm really worried about. That and Ron Santo's health. How did he take that one?
  11. UMFan83
    We lose
  12. UMFan83
    It's so sad, the only person in the world that would live and die on a team that's 26-31 and barely has signs of life.
  13. UMFan83
    A base hit wins it most likely. Former Cub top prospect Casey McGehee due up. Not good.
  14. UMFan83
    It'd be nice if I could see this game. I went out of my way to put the 9th inning on and I get nothing for my troubles.
  15. UMFan83
    I don't think there are many teams that would put Theriot in there. How has his D been at 2B? I would think most teams in baseball have a 2B in their system that can hit as well as Theriot has this year with better D. Even if they don't, no one wants to pay $3 million for someone putting up Theriot's numbers. He's not a cheap young player anymore. But I haven't seen how Theriot has done since moving to 2B....I remember reading at some point that his numbers were really good defensively back in 06 when he was playing 2B primarily.
  16. UMFan83
    Dammit why did they take him out, he could have tied the single game strikeout record with 20 K's? He only had 94 pitches, so he could have gone like 30 more. /Dusty Baker.
  17. UMFan83
    I say that if our offense breaks out and we sweep the Brewers, we find some way to claim this ballpark as our own and play the rest of our home games there. The Brewers can play at Lambeau or something.

    Hahaha SIT DOWN Rnny Ceen

    http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/larrystone/2012041911_stone06.html Hey that's our Mike Harkey. The Cubs had the 4th pick that year, the Mariners 1. If they didn't take Junior, I'm sure the 2 or 3 team would have.
  20. UMFan83
    I hope the Nationals get good. They immediately seem like a much more interesting team with this kid on it. It really feels weird that the eyes of the MLB world are focused in Washington.
  21. UMFan83
    Seriously...I want a young super phenom pitcher that doesn't breakdown after 2 years.
  22. UMFan83
    He's had hot stretches before. Until he puts it together for an entire season, I think his contract will prevent the Sox from getting as much value as he provides to them.
  23. UMFan83
    I'm sure it will be difficult as all hell, but I'm sure there is a protocol for how to figure this out seeing as how the Big East and ACC just ran through this less than a decade ago.

    +200 would be dogs The Hawks are +105 for tomorrow the Flyers -115. Hawks for the series right now would be around -350 is my guess. They were -600 after game 2. -190 after game 4 I dont post here that much but I cant freakin wait til tomorrow. Something tells me a Hawks OT winner off the stick of Hossa in the 1st overtime 3-2 final Can you explain to me how the odds work? What does it mean to be -115? How is it calculated and what is the standard bet/payoff? I've never understood that. Might be a good thing because it keeps me away from the books in Vegas, but I'd like to know. It means the Flyers are favored, and that you have to bet $115 dollars, to win $100 back if the Flyers win. Conversely, the Hawks are very slight underdogs. If you bet $100 on the Hawks and they win, you win $105.

    I know it looked bad, but I don't think it was him not being sure where the puck was. I think he was "sure" it was under him. Instead, it kind of trickled down the outside of his leg. Still a bad mistake on his part, but I didn't think it was quite how you portrayed it. Maybe it just felt like it was in slow motion for me at the time, but I couldn't believe no one on the Hawks could properly communicate to Niemi, even with the language barrier, that the puck is sitting wide open in the crease and to fall on it. It felt like 5 seconds it was sitting there but it was probably more like 2.
