    i saw him in a quiet sports bar after a rays game several years ago, and he was air drumming at the bar by himself. it was awesome.

    maddon is in popovich mode. there's a little bit of hype around this series, so he's just trolling everyone. then we'll probably win anyways.

    they made it essentially impossible to enter into a contract like that going forward and used this rule to specifically punish the 6 or 7 contracts that were already signed with cap circumvention in mind. http://www.secondcityhockey.com/2016/3/9/11185632/marian-hossa-nhl-salary-cap-recapture-penalty-blackhawks-retirement-ltir This has a good look at the penalty the Hawks would get if he retired early. If he doesn't retire, he has a cap hit of 5.275m until 2020-2021. If he retires after next year or any of the remaining years of his contract, the Hawks will have a 4.275m cap hit each year for the remainder of the contract he signed. So basically as long as Hossa is worth $1m a year, it is worth having him. My opinion is that even though he is no longer a dynamic scoring forward, he would still contribute in others ways enough for at least the next 2-3 years. i really hope he plays as long as possible, just because he's been my favorite hawk. no matter what happens with the recapture penalty, the acquisition of hossa was a masterstroke.

    heartbreaking, but at least they showed fight and gave us a little magic. as for st. louis, horsefeathers them. it's time for sharpie and oduya to ease our pain a little.
