QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 01:38 PM) Mark LazerusVerified account ‏@MarkLazerus A former #Blackhawks player I won't name once told me players do try to time their kids' births: "Lot of f***ing in November in the NHL." I'll bet my money on Versteeg saying that.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 09:56 AM) I think he is focusing on adding size against a team whose philosophy is to be physical first and worry about everything else later. Panik is a pretty physical player though. I'd rather have Bickell's lazy ass out there if that's the case than Mashinter.

Mashinter is actually playing tonight.. this is almost as bad as last year when Q benched Teravainen and Vermette for "fresh legs" bad. I'm not the type to doubt a coach whose won 3 in 6, but even I am baffled by this decision. It's not like Mashinter is some tough enforcer either.

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:44 AM) Going to a bar is ideal for days like today haha I'm sure I'll be at the bar a lot over the next couple weeks/months with friends watching the Hawks and our preference of baseball team sox and cubs. Works perfect with lots of tvs. Yep. I'll probably drive to a bar in Bridgeport tonight in either case.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 13, 2016 -> 07:01 AM) Wish it was an afternoon game because the Penguins playoff game is tonight. Time for some multitasking. Same with the Hawks game. I'm sure alot of people in the Chicago land area are going to be flipping back and forth. (Sox/Cubs fans, the real diehard Bulls fans.. , Kobe fans, people who do/don't wanna see Golden State break the Bulls 72-10 record, etc. Busy sports day tonight)

Ishikawa is awful. The fact he's even being mentioned is laughable.

He's one of my favorite prospects in the system. I've always had high school girl crushes on toolsy guys (or guys with raw stuff as far as pitchers) so I hope he succeeds.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 12:41 PM) Panik? No Weise/Teuvo/Fleisch line? You complain about Panik yet see no issue with Brandon freaking Mashinter on the 3rd line? Mashinter better not see a minute of playoff ice unless injuries hit the fan. Panik has earned playing time.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Apr 11, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Would be nice to know what's going on. Maybe baby issues? They did just have a baby not too long ago. I don't know just something I thought of. Definitely crossed my mind and I'm seriously hoping there's no complications there.

I still gotta get use to us having David Holmberg back.

Pavel Datsyuk is retiring after the playoffs and heading back to Russia to be with his family. Walking away from 7.5 million next season. Great career.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 10, 2016 -> 07:00 AM) why does it matter, the person it was intended to, answered and it is a dead issue. Just the whole "pick on Greg" narrotive gets tiresome on this board. He does say alot of crap that makes you shake your head, but he is a good poster and fan of the sox.

QUOTE (LDF @ Apr 9, 2016 -> 04:12 PM) and with out a full explanation. this sounds as a personal attack. How the hell was that a personal attack?

Former Saints DE Will Smith shot to death. Crazy.. over a fender bender at that.

Nice start for Zach Thompson.

Fitting it was the guy who screwed over the Orioles who took him out. The baseball gods were not happy. Feel for Schwarber. Hope he's back stronger than ever next year. If he wasn't a DH, he certainly is now.

Salazar has absolutely no control. If this team had better discipline hitters, we'd be right back in this game.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 06:24 PM) Starlin Castro's 7 RBI in first 2 games of the season is most by a Yankee ever in season's first 2 games. That is actually pretty incredible considering the hall of fame players and the longevity of that franchise.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) 3rd place b****es!!! Rest whoever you can on Saturday so we limit any more injuries. And bonuses. As bad as Dallas kicked their ass all year, I still think the Hawks smoke them in the playoffs for some reason. And the Blues are due, but who knows. It will be decided this weekend. Yep. Hawks get to rest and should see plenty of the Rockford Icehogs the last game. Blues and Stars both have to play their guys the last game to see who gets to play the Wild and us. It'll be interesting if Dallas chokes on the last game.

QUOTE (RaySox @ Apr 7, 2016 -> 05:29 PM) Isn't he a great contact guy? Would he be an option for the #2 spot? He gets on base too Ideal #2 hitter in my opinion.

So.. who had Mat Latos being our best pitcher in the Oakland series. This team looks very good so far.

I'm sure Robin will now let Putnam or Jennings finish this off.

I wonder how many people called this during the draft thread.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 6, 2016 -> 12:01 PM) Michigan F Tyler Motte forgoing his senior season and signing with the Blackhawks. Love it. He is eligible for the playoffs as well. Nice. Now Stan needs to sign the real prize in our system (Schmaltz) and then get Vesey and we're in business.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Apr 5, 2016 -> 01:17 PM) I know he grills Leming constantly. Gabriel thinks he knows it all. He hates Leming. Might be still pissed Leming has called a couple of Bears moved before it was official. He's an asshole.
