  1. 6 days off should be ideal for the Hawks. I guess I'm rooting for the Flyers to win tonight, oddly enough. I don't like the idea of sitting around doing nothing for over a week.
  2. Does Philly play the trap well? That is what I heard about the Preds coming into the opening round, and it seemed to stagnate the Hawks for a little while. I believe the Sharks tried it a bit last night, but after about 15 minutes the Hawks seemed to have adjusted.
  3. Is that just your negative Chicago fan side coming out, or are you basing it on something? Though I don't watch all that much hockey, my sense is that the Sharks are a better team than the Flyers. I don't think Buff will be able to be nearly the force he was in the past two series. I think Vancouver and San Jose both tried to out-Blackhawk the Blackhawks, and failed. Philly won't play like them. Definitely going to be a challenge. And if Montreal does come back, that's going to be a huge layoff between games, and the whole team of destiny impossible to eliminate thing is going to be the key for them. If Philly wins, what does it look like for game 1? Thursday? I think it is yet to be decided (at least that is what I thought I heard this morning). I can't figure out if I would rather just play Philly sooner (we've got a lot of momentum after dismantling the Sharks), or if I want Montreal to make it tougher.

  6. Pretty pathetic if it was something intentional. But who knows.
  7. Yes, I'm sure the Blackhawks are shaking in their boots over what Philly fans might do to them if they get excited over a goal.
  8. :-)) Sorry. RIP buddy.
  9. Yesterday was my first WGN Cub game in HD, and it was gorgeous. But......I only watched it during Hawks commercials and intermissions.
  10. I still believe ARam and Lee will start hitting. It's a long slump for ARam, and a typical slow start for Lee, IMO.
  11. I think it's expected that as the Hawks go further in the playoffs, it becomes tougher to conceive of breaking them up. Let's just win the damn cup now, and worry about it later 8-)
  12. Pretty amazing how the Hawks took absolutely everything the Sharks could dish out all series, and still didn't lose a single game. Bring on the CUP FINALS!!!!!
  13. This Hawks team is too young, too good, and too.......foreign......to fail like other Chicago teams have at the precipice. ......................................right? :mrgreen:
  14. To me the Hawks looked outplayed last night, especially in the 3rd period. That's an amazing win. They were definitely a different team in OT, controlling much more of the action and getting shots... Niemi just denied the Sharks when it looked like they would surely take the game. He denied them AGAIN. Also, don't know where this version of Buff came from but I like it.
  15. That's terrible. Do no admit this. Time to sell those Sunday tix on ebay, Old Style :) Seriously. I can't believe I'm missing tonight's game, but I will be planted in front of the TV on Sunday afternoon. Nightmare scenario is during the finals though -- we'll be in Florida for most of the first week of June. There better be bars around Sarasota with Versus. Finals end before June 10th, right? I'll be out of the country.
  16. That's terrible. Do no admit this. Time to sell those Sunday tix on ebay, Old Style :)
  17. I can't imagine the reffing would be more biased than it was in game 1, and we won that one. I'm not marking anything as a loss until the final horn sounds.
  18. I don't really think we need Calipari to bring Lebron here... Frankly, it's a positive for us if he doesn't leave, because at this point I'm worried that the Cavs hire him and that that is enough to get him to stay. I never thought about that, but yes that does seem like something the Cavs can do to try to get Lebron to stay.
  19. I smell a tag-team steel cage deathmatch. Winner takes all. Somebody call Vince McMahon.
  20. Sure, let's treat ARam the same way we would a guy who has never played with the Cubs before. Hell, why not? 6, 7 years of great production? To hell with you, you're crap now you bum!
  21. But Gameday says we haven't lost yet! There's still hope!
  22. Yeah, it's not really about whether Sayers should lie or not. It's about how you say it. Sayers doesn't seem to have much of a filter. He just blurts out all kinds of stuff, offensive or not. That's fine, but if you are going to do that then don't act all shocked when someone calls you on the carpet for it. And don't make it seem like it's a black and white, "I either lie or tell the truth" issue.
  23. Shawon had a cannon. yeah, he could throw it 100mph into the 1st base side stands He'd have gotten it there. Probably 10 feet over Lee's head, but it would have gotten there.
  24. It's always kind of fun to see the sports that are popular outside the US.
  25. Seriously, I don't understand how people can think otherwise. add sprinters to the list. there's absolutely no way usain bolt isn't on something, he went from average to greatest of all-time real quick. michael phelps, too. actually, all athletes in general are under suspicion as far as i'm concerned. Me too. Still though, to incorporate accusations about Armstrong into your grand confession is a slimeball thing to do.
