what the hell
-
maybe we'll get lucky and square face will get hurt to even things back out. speaking of that, derrick might need to get on that regimen pretty soon
-
now that the syringe is out of my forehead, i'm kind of excited to see what these guys can do. losing derrick doesn't affect the bulls two biggest strengths: rebounding and defense. we're basically going to be shooting a lot of contested jumpers now, so the defense will have no margin of error. assuming we take down philadelphia relatviely easily, i think this team would be favorites in the second round.
-
if rondo even gets 1 game, the celtics could be in big trouble. i kind of want them to win, just because i want the bulls to play them. i also think they have a better chance of beating the heat than the hawks do. not sure they'd get by the bulls though. i don't agree that boston would be favored.
-
I'm kind of feeling a 6 game loss to the Heat right now. i'd be proud of this team if they win 2 series and put up a fight against the heat
-
one thing i can say about this team: they'll play hard on tuesday
-
i hate that something as relatively insignificant as sports can make me feel so shitty
-
makes me sad that our window might be wasted by this. i'm so convinced this team would have beaten miami if healthy.
-
the season that ruined derrick rose's career
-
enjoy your title, miami. this cne hurts. the bulls were better than miami at full stength, and now they'll get no chance to prove it. completely devastating.
-
ben gordon is doing it again. 7-7 from 3, still first half.
-
it would be really, really hard for me to get excited about next season if the starting goalie ends up being crawford. that can't happen. we already punted one season because of him.
-
i said for a really good goalie. as crazy as it sounds, we'd have been way better off this season at least. when kane isn't involved in scores, he's close to worthless, and his point rate has dropped each of the last 2 seasons. i'm just saying, this year was basically punted because we didn't have a goalie. look at the western conference right now. are we the favorites if we had a good goalie and no kane? crawford didn't give us a chance, and i'd rather get a proven great goalie for kane than give up smaller parts and trade for a guy who might suck and kill another season for us. if somebody offered something like tuuka rask (i know the bruins wouldn't do that, just an example), you wouldn't at least consider it?

Is Strasburg Washington's Mark Prior?

what if you throw sutcliffe in there -
whatever, let them enjoy their series win and magic production from huet while they can. they'll realize after they lose to nashville how short lived and irrelevant their success against the blackhawks was.
-
@espnchijon: Quenneville choking up a bit as he talks about Hossa. "He hasn't felt very well at all."
-
remember a couple months ago when someone asked if we should trade kane for a good goalie? let's revisit that, and boy did we miss brian campbell this season
-
no, i'd rather have the enjoyment of seeing them get knocked out in the first round
-
bye bye canucks
-
brutal
-
i feel like byrd was like the most boring cub of all-time. not good enough to be exciting, but good enough to not disappoint or suck. relatively insignificant contract, and played on irrelevant teams. he kind of represents that "whatever" feeling i've felt about the cubs the last few years.
-
maybe stamkos See there might be players you could argue are better or have more value (like Giroux, Stamkos, Malkin, Crosby), but even if I were to agree, the difference in talent is not much and not enough to overcome the emotional attachment that Toews has built in Chicago. It's like LeBron is better than Rose, but most Bulls fans wouldnt trade Rose for LeBron. But the gap between Rose and LeBron is even bigger IMO than Toews and someone like Stamkos he's just the perfect combination of player and leader. he has no flaws in his game. he's young, he's already won almost everything, and guys just follow him because he always backs it up in the big moments. all that cliche stuff like leadership/grit etc etc actually matters in hockey. i'm not saying he's necessarily better than all those guys, but would i trade him for them? i couldn't do it. he's just too perfect.
-
the only 2 i think i'd really do would be crosby and maybe stamkos. malkin is a couple years older than toews so i think i'd take the overall game/leadership of toews. giroux would have to prove himself for another year or 2. i can't imagine giving up toews for him right now. toews just does too much.
-
is there anybody in the nhl you'd trade toews for straight up? the only guy i can think of is crosby, if he proves his head isn't broken
-
then why do you read him?
