He's waiting on us slackers to bring the baby stuff for the shower. This poor kid's gonna be spoiled by the Dallas contigency...

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jul 14, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) You are missing my point. For some reason, he has started hitting the ball. Has he finally shortened his swing and learned to drive the ball where it's pitched? I don't know if this is the case, but you don't know that it's not. Hence, my reference to KW and the scouting staff. Last year, he sucked as a ML ballplayer, yes. I'll give you that. Will he suck the rest of this year? Neither of us knows that. Borchard sympathizer...

You're just too fast for me, I guess. Off to class. Have fun.

Meh... I'm in the who cares camp.

Qwerty and I, as well as a few others, know that these are not tolerated here at SoxTalk. And let's give the newbies the benefit of the doubt. All is well that ends well. MERCY!

Nah, dude, you got it. Just be careful. I didn't mean to make it sound like I was picking on YOU, I just wanted to know why you've started two threads asking negative things about hawk. Lesson learned, let's go on.

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 10:28 PM) I haven't bashed anybody..............quit getting your mommy to read the posts to you and read them yourself you illiterate bastard quit trying to start s*** I'm thinking you don't know the rules here... So let me very clear. I asked a question. You f***ed up with your answer. Would you like to try again? I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, without calling you any names. I simply made an observation and asked what the f*** was up with that? I didn't say, "what the f*** is up with YOU", did I? Would you like to try again, skippy?

QUOTE(the People's Champ @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 09:34 PM) and have always wondered why. Why exactly did Wimpy ever leave? Cause isnt he broadcasting for some other team now, if I aint mistaken. I miss that pudgy bastard. Not that I don't like DJ, just Tom was more funny in a non-goofy ass catch phrase sort of way. Was it cause him and Hawk didn't get along, cause I always kinda got that vibe from them. oh well This is the second thread in a week you've started bashing Hawk. What the f*** is up with that? You got a problem with him?

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 09:44 PM) The Hawks payroll will be somewhere between 30-35 mil, and a Top Defenseman and Top Scorer will be signed. Besides, Janssens wasnt signed to be a top liner, he was signed for a 3rd line faceoff man... Have faith in Tallon, he wants to succeed. I think you all will be surprised what Chicago does. The playing field will be much more level then ever before. Chicago will be right there for the playoffs this year. AND... the Florida Panthers WILL make the playoffs (barring injury, etc). Mr. Keenan has some crap up his sleeve. That's all I will say about that team.

He played there last year and he said if the terms can be met, he wants to come back over here for one more year.

LMAO I think everyone kinda missed the "2003" date, didn't they?

Let me put it this way. The guy who trained Forsberg as a kid, is training this kid. I saw it with my own eyes. This kid is no Ruutu, not even in the same league, he's 10 times better - at least on a sliding scale for that age. Trust me. You're not talking to someone who doesn't know anything about hockey. Edit: I don't mean to sound conceited, and I realize I probably just did. However, I have a connection or two in the industry. I'll leave it there.

And sure enough, everyone was here right on cue with that one.

I hope he continues to scortch down there... so he can be gotten for something more then a bag of moldy balls.

I was wondering when that would happen. I had #2.

Or, from NHL.com... http://www.nhl.com/news/2005/07/230330.html

The way that they are going to market this kid - frankly won't matter where he ends up. He's something special.

The only reason that WON'T happen is because he's already making boo-coo bucks from endorsements.

The NHLPA and their agents will be getting copies of the deal at the end of the week. I won't tell you how I know that.

You wanna know what's really scary? Whoever drafts him might not even see him play for their team, because of the new restrictions being placed on the entry level players. There's a solid rumor that says he will go over to Europe to cash in because of the cap. Personally I think that's bulls***, but that will now be life in the new NHL.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 04:07 PM) If he ends up someplace like Edmonton or Buffalo, then the draft was truly not rigged. I think the chips will fall where they may, and "where they may" will be Madison Square Garden. Sadly, I agree, Critic. But I still for Florida so I can talk with the dude.

for Florida. That way I can meet the dude a few times.

The NHL lockout will be over today - that is according to two sources I know of, one is a couple of websites but more importantly the player reps have been told that an announcement of a deal should be later this afternoon. This is all pending approval by the BOG and the NHLPA ratifying the new CBA. GAME ON!!!

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Jul 13, 2005 -> 03:17 PM) ANy rumors on how they will do the hockey draft? The earliest indication is each team would get an equal shot at Crosby. I think that is one of the things that they are still squabbling about.
