  1. my dad has been bitching about that for years and i don't blame him. worst part about baskettall, hands down
  2. i can't stand the way the nashville announcer says "predators"
  3. cant believe they got out of that
  4. i like bolland, but he shouldn't be on the roster right now.
  5. yea, we just handed them a goal. "here, have a goal"
  6. Every manager is going to have "blemishes." It's not like Lou has some amazing history that blows them or all other candidates out of the water. I just want a manager that isn't going to over-manage and lose games, because that's what a manager has far more impact over than teams actually winning. Very fair opinion. In my Cubbie Dreams, the Ricketts setup a sound and definate philosophy of how to win, then hire great baseball people to put the philosophy to work at every level of the franchise. Over time the Cubs have mostly homegrown talent who already play the game within the franchise's philosophy. With this accomplished the manager could be far less manipulating. And I realize the vast majority on this board probably agree with this. But our current situation is far from that dream scenario and I do think Lou's "crazy" decisions are warranted. Crazy decisions are never warranted
  7. Lou has become a terrible manager, period.
  8. i love it. i want this trainwreck to get uglier and uglier. i want 95 losses
  9. we WERE better than the preds. right now, i'm not so sure. nothing we're seeing from the hawks so far is really anything different than we saw for most of the second half of the regular season
  10. id actually prefer the penalty shot
  11. I'm putting this on Bowman. Because you are blaming him for not getting someone to play in net! Which means you are blaming Niemi! Otherwise, what the sam [expletive] are you talking about???? he obviously isn't watching the game I am watching the game. Niemi is average and a great goalie picks up the defense when they fail. I am not going to blame Niemi for being what he is - an average goalie at best. just not sure why you're talking about niemi when he has literally been the least of our concerns in these 3 games. he has been like the only guy to actually show up. if not for him, we may not even have a win.
  12. We won 6 of our last 7. not sure what that has to do with it. i never said the olympics made them a bad team
  13. What teams did Buff, Sopel, Sharp and Hendry play for? they just suck balls
  14. FAIL. Putting this on Neimi is wrong. I'm putting this on Bowman. Because you are blaming him for not getting someone to play in net! Which means you are blaming Niemi! Otherwise, what the sam [expletive] are you talking about???? he obviously isn't watching the game
  15. is it reasonable to question if the olympics are a big reason for our struggles? our key guys just don't have the same intensity they had before the break. even toews. with all the hype and pressure surrounding team canada, you gotta wonder if that was their stanley cup and they're kind of burned out at this point. obviously just speculation and there's no way to tell, but it's possible. the sharks also had a ton of guys in the olympics and it's been the same thing with them.... although they always choke.
  16. we should be thrilled if this series gets to game 7
  17. Impossible. We were hot going into the series, and streaks always carry over into the postseason. i love how you twist the argument into whatever you want it to be YOU were the one that made the "it's just a streak argument" all season. the ones who argued otherwise were worried about the actual issues on the ice, which are the same issues that are showing up in the postseason. nobody who argued against you ever made an argument based on streaks. you did. Do you really want me to make you look stupid by going back and digging up every single post you made where you said their record in the poor streak was a reason we should be worried? i KNOW you have better reading comprehension than that. yes, i brought up the record, but only as an illustration of how we had been mediocre for an extended period of time.... which was to help make my actual argument...... that this team has very real problems and are not the team they were in the first half.
  18. "number 26 on nashville. 2 minutes for being a jerk" "number 25 on chicago. 2 minutes for pushing that guy"
