  1. Now you can just bring up his incredible streak of 10+ OPSes under a base-898 counting system.
  2. oh yeah they did I wasn't here, but that's just so hard to believe. Really? Guilty.
  3. Bulin's contract expires at the end of this season. We can live with it for now.
  4. Yeah, I really don't want Huet to be the guy for the playoffs. He's not good. Especially for this team.
  5. I don't mean to get too far into the inside baseball here, but it seems like the Hawks beat guys are in the bag for the team. I know there's only a few of them and they aren't as tenacious as the baseball and football guys, but this is ridiculous. There's no injury. We all know there is no injury. But this line gets thrown in there. There was finally an article in the Trib today about the penalties leading to benchings, which should have been asked of Q after Tuesday's game and put into the game article. Kyle, any thoughts? Particularly, with how obedient beat guys need to be in light of their ongoing relationship and travel with the team? It's always a tough line, but I'm disappointed in that one. If the team wants to call it an injury, report that the team is calling it an injury. But you can't completely ignore the trade rumors. Ask the coach about them, and if he denies or gives no comment, report that too.
  6. Three goals is no justice for Khabibulin, he was awesome tonight.
  7. Versteeg with another great move, this time he just gets a post.
  8. Did I say talent goal? Versteeg beat at least three defenders and made a sick move on Turco to get an empty net.
  9. I love talent goals. Toews keeps the puck away from the defense for several seconds with a couple guys on him, Eager makes the pass of his life and Kane puts a sniping wrister into the net. 1-1.
  10. Huet gives up huge rebounds. He's only good on a team that has the big defensive bodies to keep the front of the net clear. That's not the Hawks.
  11. I doubt he's really nonchalant; he's just a master of coachspeak. The Bears are learning a harsh lesson about the NFL: If you want to have a consistently elite defense, you must draft great defensive players *every single year*. The attrition rate is so high that you can't fall in love with the ones you have and sign them long-term.
  12. There will be plenty of time for that debate in the playoffs, which every team that had more losses than wins last season missed, regardless of how many of those losses were in overtime and shootouts.
  13. 16 games, but yes. This team is definitely exciting. The jury is still out on whether they are actually good. They are good, they just have to finish games off in OT. Losing games because of a 4 on 4 goal or a SO doesn't mean you are a bad team. If you do it consistently enough, yes it does.
  14. 16 games, but yes. This team is definitely exciting. The jury is still out on whether they are actually good.
  15. I'm still not convinced playoffs are a sure thing this year. Probable thing, but there's a lot of good teams in this conference.
  16. The flip side of the last game: This time it's the Blackhawks who clearly aren't the best team on the ice but are poised to steal one.
  17. If you aren't used to the "it's cool to be a jerk" ethos around here, I can see where he'd get sucked in.
  18. Yes, just like all signs were pointing to Roberts becoming a Cub last year. One heavily reported and discussed rumor was wrong so now they all must be! I've enjoyed Ivan Rodriguez's years with the Cubs.
  19. re: Cub Reporter If you feel the need to post something along the lines of "I'm not responsible for this information, it's just a rumor," please take the name "reporter" out of your title.
  20. :D 33,000 unique visitors and over 2.5M pageloads in October. Whatever, though. And to think all of that without the ability to put nifty little smileys into the posts. How else would one convey wit? If any wit ever occurs on a sports message board, let me know and we'll figure out how to convey it.
  21. Hohum, another wasted opportunity at home. Good job not giving up early, though.
  22. Five minutes to win this thing. If it goes to a shootout...
  23. Bulin with the check! That was too awesome for me to be mad at him for his horrible play.
  24. For the rest of his career, I will become excited when Toews carries the puck through the neutral zone every single time. I don't care if it's one on five.
