It was way too high you racist [expletive] /bradley

It would certainly lock in his reputation as the Nick Saban of college basketball.

It's weird. They did say that, but those player banners are still there. They did however take down the long horizontal banner that went above the marquee, as well as all "Opening Day" signs.

Can't he do something about it? I'm sure someone out there is willing to pay him money to pitch a product. I mean it sucks that he grew up in the wrong time period, but he also didn't play in a time period where football was 24/7/365. He probably used training camp to get in shape, when nowadays players show off how buff they got during their offseason training programs. I'm sure Sayers would have been happy to work year round to make the big bucks, but I'm just stating what a different game it is today. Walking around moping isn't going to help him.

fixed to take out the presence of doubt. -
Not even close for me and three words explain it all: FIVE OUTS AWAY See the biggest reason why 2008 stung more is because by Memorial Day we were almost on playoff cruise control (with some bumps in the way). Everyone was just kinda waiting for the postseason, and expecting great things because that was a terrific team. In 2003, the playoff race was half the battle. Remember at that point, the Cubs had made the playoffs just 1 time in the last 14 years. So making the playoffs with a team that lost 90 games the year before was a significant accomplishment. I don't think many would have hung their heads if the Cubs lost game 5 in Atlanta. It was of course very painful because we all believed we were going to do it. In 2008, we had made the postseason the year before, making the playoffs wasn't a big accomplishment for us. We all just waited several months for the playoffs to start, and when they did, the team basically flatlined and in the blink of an eye it was over.

Not just Howard, some of things we've seen happen never happened to past Wings teams. But, you've got to consider they're not those great Wings anymore, pretty close to average team now. Its not like they are being dominated. They have had some huge bad breaks and yet have come real close to winning all three games. If Pavelski, Clowe and Thorton keep playing at the level they are SJ will win the Stanley Cup Honestly, I don't think it will happen but the way every game in the series has been anyone's game, it wouldn't be crazy if Detroit at least makes things interesting. It will depend on their mental state going into game 4 I guess. Some teams have a "nothing to lose" attitude when these things happen, others fall apart.

Not just Howard, some of things we've seen happen never happened to past Wings teams. But, you've got to consider they're not those great Wings anymore, pretty close to average team now. i actually think they're the 2nd best team in the west. i also think the sharks really are THAT good, especially if that first line is actually going well. have i posted about my pool team? this is pretty funny i think. here's my roster: Ilya Kovalchuk Zach Parise Brooks Laich Tomas Fleischmann Anze Kopitar Shane Doan Brian Rafalski Nick Lidstrom Nik Kronwall Jack Johnson Jimmy Howard Martin Brodeur i was a kiss of death. sorry to fans of these teams, including myself. Thank you for not picking any Blackhawks.

If the Big Ten adding teams is going to cause a radical realignment of BCS conferences I don't know if I like it as much as I thought. Plus no one has figured out how we are going to put Purdue and Indiana in separate divisions for fairness sake.
-
He is right near the top of my list. The problem people might have with him is that he is a my way or the highway kind of coach. Similar to Skiles. Preaches defense. He style of coaching can wear people down though. I was reading on RealGM that he apparently has a reputation of not being the hardest worker if that means anything.
-
Definitely the preferred matchup. We definitely don't have a mental barrier against Detroit. That said, enough talking about WCF opponents. We are still in a dogfight that is completely up in the air right now. I do hope that Detroit can take 1-2 games before bowing out. Don't want to give a team a 7-10 days off in the middle of a long playoff grind.
-
Don't worry, after losing a few more, by the weekend we'll be hitting everything in sight and will win a couple 12-2 games.
-
And both teams grab a point! I mean go to sudden death OT.
-
I don't know why I feel this way, but if the Sharks win this series, and the Blackhawks somehow advance, I feel like the Hawks would destroy SJ even without home ice. 5-6 games at most.
-
Sounds like they are taking after their hockey half name sake.
-
It's not a series until a home team loses.
-
What the hell are we going to do with Aramis? I still think he could snap out of this tomorrow, but this is really going on for awhile.
-
It's not always a bad idea if you are seeing the ball particularly well.
-
This is one of those games where we probably should have won that we didn't (or might not). The pitching as usual was solid, we just can't hit worth a lick.
-
Dempster completely dominated Jones in that AB too...he got him way behind in the count, got him to swing at a pitchers pitch, and got weak contact and a grounder. If we had a real SS, we'd still be winning. God just doesn't want us to get over .500
-
I knew that little 30 hopper that Theriots limited range couldn't get was going to come back to haunt us.
-
Not good enough to justify his ridiculous contract.
-
Another legendary voice silenced. :( Yeah lots of old time announcers dying. Well just him and Kalas off the top of my head but still. Reaper, if you touch Scully, you will regret it.

Damn that sucks...but you knew it was coming. RIP.

GEO!
