i'm convinced that hendry is never going to get fired.
-
polanco makes the all-star team with a .681 ops. hilarious. chipper's is .761. there is no argument to be made that either guy deserves it over aramis. it isn't even close. oh well, good thing it's meaningless.
-
i quickly looked at his part articles and saw one with this title- i like this guy
-
this is kinda late, but CBC's year end playoff montages are always a must watch.
-
Can you please tell me everyone you follow on twitter for rumors? I don't know who to follow.

kobe is still well above average, isn't 33 yet, and is one ring away from tying jordan. he's not going anywhere.
-
Wow, cursing at the TV at your gf's parents house over fantasy football? You sound like a real catch. yea he sounds like a real square
-
how would you guys feel about bringing madden back for one year? i wish we could get burish back

Let me rephrase that: I think Hjalmarsson is a better bet than Campbell going forward. NH was a completely different player last year than he was the season before. I think/hope he's more 2009-2010 Hjalmarsson than 2010-2011. He was just too good in 09-10 (at such a young age) for me to believe he's as bad as he was last year. I think he's more capable of being the rock on the second line than Campbell. I feel like Campbell would need somebody better than Leddy with him to play good enough defense. Also, Campbell is 8 years younger than Hjalmarsson. Don't forget, Niklas just turned 24. he's on the rise, and Campbell figures to be on the decline soon. I just think Hjalmarsson can/will provide more to the team than Campbell will. Campbell doesn't play on the first PP line, doesn't play on the PK, and his offensive numbers aren't as good as you'd expect from the type of D-man he is. He's a fantastic puck mover, but that's about all he brings to the table really.

considering the way things looked when the Kane/Toews bonuses showed up after the cup, Bowman has done an amazing job. we were supposed to be in all kind of trouble, and now (just a year later) how are the hawks looking? - we didn't lose any of our top 4 forwards (i thought for sure we'd have had to dump Sharp by now) - we didn't lose one of our top 3 d-men (even though Hjlamarsson was shaky this season, i still like him better than Campbell... even without considering contracts) - we came out at least even on the goaltending situation (probably). Crawford and Niemi seem to be comparable going forward, and we got Crawford at about 1.5m a year cheaper than Niemi. Meanwhile, we were able to extend Seabrook/Hjalmarsson, and somehow got rid of Campbell's contract. Every move he's made his been right. Byfuglian/Ladd/Versteeg was the expendable ones and he wasn't afraid to trade any of them just because they were heroes in the Cup run and suddenly fan favorites (Byfuglian). Blackhawks are looking good long-term.

i was wondering why people thought we'd trade away a 7+ mil a year contract for another one. im dumb. i usually think of brad first too because of him winning the conn smythe down here
-
wait, has there been speculation that LA is going to flip richards? where is the richards talk coming from? i haven't heard anything. is LA in a bad cap situation or something?
-
oh man, this is huge. this franchise is looking gooood. hossa's contract is the only one that looks even slightly bad now, and it's still not that bad. so we've got 3 elite forwards, 2 elite young defensemen, and a young promising goalie all locked up for the future and we now have very good cap maneuverability to fill in the rest with quality pieces.
-
i'm most impressed by his k-rate. 312 AB and only 34 k's. at his age, that is phenomenal
-
considering his low walk rate AND his low strike out rate, he's going to get a crazy amount of hits. combine that with the fact that he's getting this head start on his coutning stats (by playing so young) and he's going to have an excellent chance at 3,000 if he doesnt become injury prone.
-
if they get what we'll think they'll get, i don't know if i want either of these guys. we're finally starting to get rid of these bad contracts. giving one of these guys 200 million seems like a bad idea and the type of thing that keeps killing the organization. if we were talking about somebody like adrian gonzalez i'd be all for it... but both of those guys scare the [expletive] out of me on a big/long contract.

daniel sedin lost out on the mvp to corey perry. ouch

Moneyball starring Brad Pitt as Billy Beane

tell me more about this money ball -

5 points total in the entire series for both sisters combined (4 for daniel, 1 for henrik) the twins and luongo are the most predictable trio in sports when it comes to the postseason. the sedins will be diving, luongo will be flopping around, and none of them will produce.

daniel sedin (thelma?) says the canucks are going to win
-
David Stern? Winner. Hilarious that the same people who cried about Rose not getting any calls don't care to notice when it happens WAY WORSE to someone they hate. lebron didn't get calls because he didn't even give the officials the opportunity. it's hard to get to the free throw line when you only have 2 moves in your Finals arsenal: 1) pass the ball immediately or 2) dribble the ball around the perimeter for 20 seconds and then launch a fadeaway 3

if the canucks win by any score, it wil.l be pretty weird. to be honest, they probably didn't even deserve to win that san jose series. san jose carried play most of the time. then again, the hawks didn't really deserve to sweep SJ last year. luongo has just been so bad that its amazing he's 1 win away from a cup. it would be hard to watch luongo celebrate a title when he really doesn't deserve to. not to mention, canucks fans will always be able to say "luongo is a stanley cup winning goaltender) even though it won't mean anything at all. its funny... before the playoffs started i didn't really feel that dislike for vancouver that i had in recent years. maybe it's because the blackhawks won the cup last year or maybe it was because i felt kind of sorry for them. now, i hate them more than i ever did. they did a good job of making me feel that way over the past month. seeing the sedins, burrows, luongo etc hoist the cup in front of their fans will be disgusting if it happens.
-
seeing the heat and canucks both get eliminated within a 4 day stretch would be the perfect ending to the nhl/nba seasons.

and just in case you needed MORE reason to hate vancouver..... aaron rome says he wouldn't change his decision if he had a chance to take that hit back. he also is upset that he's suspended
