  1. Yep. Cheap shot on Kane drew a ton of attention. Maybe the guys like him more now or something...
  2. This is where things get murky. We'll soon have some major PEDs that are almost unequivocally good for you.
  3. Huet, who sucks, barely saved a breakaway just now, suckily.
  4. Feed on with 10:30 to play, and it's FSSW welcoming fans from the other game, so that must have been the problem. We're wearing the awful black uniforms, so I almost wish it wasn't on.
  5. Okay, even worse, FSSW is showing Texas vs. Texas A&M women's basketball. I'd rather poke my eyes out. 2:00 left, and I think they are actually going to preempt the start of the game for this rubbish. That must be why my usual reliable feed hookup isn't working.
  6. I bet you'd be hard pressed to find an actual example of someone saying Huet sucks in this thread. There are probably a few, but they aren't plentiful.
  7. Are we going to have WBC game threads?
  8. I'm still not convinced Maddux will be all that great as a pitching coach. "Now, what you want to do on a 1-1 count to this hitter is throw a four-seamer exactly 1.72 inches off the outside corner. He'll foul it off, but now you've got him set up to throw the next one 1.78 inches off the outside corner and he'll ground it to second."
  9. "Huet was facing five fewer shots per game than Khabibulin." At least half of those are rebounds being hacked back at him.
  10. In the last five minutes of games or in OT and the game within five points either way, James leads the league with the equivalent of 55.5 points per game http://www.82games.com/0809/CSORT11.HTM
  11. I think the sad fact is that as long as LeBron is in the East and the management that has him is remotely competent, the Bulls will never be favorites.
  12. Damn. The more options in the market (on either lines) the better for the Bears. Maybe the Bears are one of the unnamed teams he's interested in being traded to. Only if they're swapping over to a 3-4 defense. :D I would be so down with that.
  13. Lee hit significantly better with men on base last year.
  14. "How does a goalie become a bad fit for a team? Is this some sort of groundball pitcher on a team with bad defenders thing, or a slinging QB on a team that only runs? I don't get it." Huet's style is to give up big rebounds but stop anything he can see. In the playoffs, he'll need a big, strong defense to keep the front of the net clear. The Blackhawks have a smaller, less physical defense based on positioning and clearing the puck efficiently, but not so good at clearing the front of the net. Bad fit.
  15. Can the NHL just award us the fourth seed now and let us rest up some guys?
  16. There is a pretty big difference between "I'd rather see Khabi out there than Huet" and "Oh god, we have to watch Huet flopping around out there tonight...great". Look through the thread. It's even been admitted by a poster that he irrationally hates Huet. Two, at least. I hate Huet and I accept that he's an above average goalie. He's also a bad fit for this team and has a huge mistake of a contract that we will regret very soon. Sounds like a great game tonight, though. Got in the car just in time to hear the radio highlights.
  17. Right back atcha. Young cores develop into 55-win teams that go out in the second round every year and draft in the late teens, never getting anywhere. It's NBA purgatory, and the Bulls would still be there if they hadn't lucked into Rose.
  18. A 40-win team with Garnett is a good offseason away from contention. A 50-win team with the young talent the Bulls had is ... well, still trying to find a big man like Garnett to put them in contention.
  19. Worth it, worth it, worth it. This will always be a sport where you do whatever you can to get elite players and worry about the dross later.
  20. I think you are underestimating how quickly and sharply defensive linemen can age in this league.
  21. the 1996-98 away jersey was by far the best of the bunch. but all in all, it's a pretty sad bunch.
  22. Gotta thank you for putting this link up. My new home jersey just came today and I love it. They're still on sale, but for $56 now. Glad I got on that when I did. Damn, I have been thinking about getting one but wanted to wait. I was thinking about getting one but they are hideous. For all intents and purposes, you're Canadian, so you'll forgive us Americans if we don't value your opinion too highly on this issue. :wink: I may have a Canadian flag in my living room, but I have a Sam's Army card in my wallet.
