  1. I think they've surpassed last year's team already. Last year's team never laid claim to a series lead in the WCF.
  2. Heh...I thought the same thing reading that article this morning. David Haugh has spent too much time around the likes of Rick Morrisey (before he left) and Steve Rosenbloom. Rosenbloom is simply horrible. He's the king of meaningless banter packaged up to sound like knowledgeable debate. He never says anything of substance, ever. Admittedly I've only really heard him on his Saturday morning show on the Score, but he consistently throws stuff out there that is nothing more than voodoo opinion with nothing behind it. His trib articles are as bad or worse than his radio appearances. Yeah, and he packages it up in this lithium/post Hippy voice quality that just drives me crazy.
  3. I'm hoping the Cubs will be pretty big sellers come deadline time. Not sure who would bring the most value, but lots of teams should be looking for veteran help for their playoff runs. Lilly's been a good Cub; I guess as with everyone, it depends on what we'd be looking at in terms of return value.

  5. This is going to continue until when? End of July? LOL, this is going to be like Favre or something.
  6. According to this blog, the referee screwed up: http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/puck_daddy/post/Referee-mix-up-keeps-Bolland-on-ice-for-Chicago-?urn=nhl,241322 The refs sucked that game. It resulted in 5 Hawks penalties vs. 0 for the Sharks. Now, I didn't watch every bit of action, but nobody's going to convince me that the Sharks played completely penalty-free. So frankly, the Hawks were due to get *something* from these terrible refs. In fairness, I haven't heard a lot of complaining about it, but there definitely should not be.
  7. Seems like Lebron has been taking criticism from many people.
  8. Man, I am in awe of Niemi right now. That was so much fun to watch.
  9. I'll add Silva to that sentiment too. If someone had told me all 3 of those guys would be producing at a high level, I would have thought the Cubs would be having a hell of a hot start. Baseball is a strange game indeed.
  10. link? This is what was said this morning on ESPN.
  11. Sunday seems like it is so far away :( You mean I've got to watch the Cubs all this time, waiting for the Hawks? Oh my GOD.
  12. I actually can see the NJ thing. They can sign 2 max FAs, which means Lebron can team up with whoever he wants. It would be like plopping an instant title contender from absolutely nowhere into NJ -- ala Boston a few years ago. I can imagine that would be very attractive to Lebron, because he would get to choose more pieces. Hand-pick his surrounding cast.
  13. Yeah, it's pretty cool to take a step back and look at how far the Hawks have come from just a few years ago, when they weren't even worth watching. Back in those days it would have been a joke to think they could even hang on the same ice as a team like the Sharks. Now they are in a do-or-die series with the Western Conference's best, and with a legitimate shot, too. We've talked about it plenty here, but man -- what a turnaround the Hawks are as an organization. It's pretty unbelievable.
  14. I doubt it has anything to do with anything now.
  15. See, I block those out of my mind because they are painful. Then you bring them back up again. Thanks!
  16. Haha. It hurts so good, baby.
  17. Screw 'em. We don't even know the game and we're better than them at it. SHOOT THE PUCK! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? SHOOT IT! LOL. GET IT! HIT HIM! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING Q?!?
  18. Yeah, it usually isn't shown on TV.
  19. Tonight's CLE/BOS game is more interesting to me now.
  20. This is because for over a decade nobody cared about the Hawks, and now they do. They should probably keep their mouth shut until they learn more, but I welcome the non-core fans back. Heck, I'm one of them, unapologetically. I'm still learning about the game. Most of the time my game commentary consists of "OOh! Hit that guy! Um.......get the puck back! Stop sucking! Yes!" Pretty low-brow, un-knowlegeable stuff. I don't see a problem with fans who aren't knowledgeable deciding they want to get involved now that the Hawks are better. They just don't know much about hockey yet. That will improve over time. But again, I agree they should probably think before they yell out embarrassing stuff.
  21. I'll take whatever Silva can give, for now. Just have Marshall ready to step in if he reverts to his old self.
  22. Whoever thought it was a good idea to approve my account on NSBB is also a crazy bastard. 8-)
  23. The sad thing is, I actually enjoyed that song when I only had to hear it maybe once a year. Now? It makes me want to blow up the PA system. Even worse, one of my friends thinks it's the greatest thing in the world.
  24. I could have sworn there's a video of this happening out there somewhere. Maybe I dreamed it because of how awesome it sounds. He did it because he hates losing to the Steelers. What did he get for his trouble? BODY SLAMMED BY A STEELER. LMAO, classic.
  25. I saw that this morning. It was one of those things that put an extra pep in my step as I was getting ready for work :mrgreen:
