QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 15, 2014 -> 10:46 AM) Ridiculous. Montador. Their entire board (almost) is all about how the handshake line is dumb (they loved it against Van) and how the Bruins are so competitive its ok to fight. Oh and the Habs are whiney little babies.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ May 15, 2014 -> 10:30 AM) Also, Lucic is a clown. There's zero defending his antics in line. This doesnt work for you?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:24 AM) I'm really hoping for an Original Six final, best of all would be Montreal and the Hawks. I've got the Rangers coming out of the east for some time now, it just feels like their year.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:20 AM) It's going to be a fun final four teams at this point. I hope you can find the last minute of the game somewhere so you can watch it. The last 20-30 seconds was INSANE.

QUOTE (bmags @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:07 AM) Woke up and went to ESPN to see who won Kings/Ducks, was not even in top ten latest news stories on right hand side. BTW, it was an AWESOME game. Love that series.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 15, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) I would have bet on a Canuck to f*** up the handshake line, but Bruin wouldn't have been a bad call. What about a Bruin FROM Vancouver.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 15, 2014 -> 08:49 AM) http://deadspin.com/milan-lucic-gets-heate...-gam-1576694532 The differences in opinion on each team's board is pretty incredible.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ May 15, 2014 -> 08:18 AM) Nothing like talking s*** to a team that just came into your stadium and beat your ass. s*** I missed that part.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 14, 2014 -> 10:07 PM) Yeah, yeah, whatever. That's too much thinking going on late at night. The rookie is gonna want that goal back, ouch. They do have confusing uniforms that take a second to differentiate.

Was that a banana on the ice?

QUOTE (zenryan @ May 14, 2014 -> 08:48 PM) Montreal sold their souls to the devil apparently. Also helps to have the refs/league in your back pocket. 5 power plays for Montreal, all pretty weak calls. 15 or so post jobs helps too. Every weird bounce of the puck went Montreal's way minus the Bergeron goal in game 2. The second and third Montreal goals tonight was lucky bounces. I'm not even mad. They are by far the least penalized team in the playoffs. Who knows why, could be satan.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 14, 2014 -> 08:44 PM) Hockey is so damn crazy, makes what the Hawks have accomplished these last 5 years even more exceptional. 4 conf finals and two cups in 6 years. Pretty damn good.

Later Boston.

Marchand and Chara have both been in the box twice. Shocking.

QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ May 14, 2014 -> 05:27 PM) Yea Johnson has way better stuff on paper than Rienzo, at least when his velocity is above 90. Hopefully his velocity comes back soon and he's back up. Carroll's pixie dust has ran out. His numbers in AAA right now look pretty good.

QUOTE (fathom @ May 14, 2014 -> 04:30 PM) No reason he can't be a 5th starter. I have more confidence in him being a MLB starter than Johnson. I like Johnson, I think he rounds out for us nicely.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 14, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) This has been consistently my biggest gripe with Ventura. He doesn't rest his regulars nearly enough. I mean, Abreu is in his first MLB-length season, he's been out there hobbling around like Kirk Gibson for days, and his plan is to give him 1 game off, some time in the future? Jeez, I'd be fine if Abreu got a day off a week, let him play 130 games this year to get broken in. No need to wear him into an injury. And he wonders why the team had a couple games they seemed "flat". Yeah but you also didnt like Ozzie's sunday lineups. He's basically forcing Jose to take an actual day off, the guy wants to play through it. It's nothing structural at the moment I believe but its painful as most ankle injuries are.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 14, 2014 -> 03:04 PM) Supposedly he will have the next two days off Not nearly enough. I'd place a decent wager he will do a 15 day stint this season.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 14, 2014 -> 02:41 PM) Abreu just seems out of it His ankle is really bad right now but he wont come out and wont sit.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ May 14, 2014 -> 01:04 PM) It is a little strange a DUI can get you suspended for a game or a half of a game, but do a bong in your dorm room, you may have to sit out a season. Sounds like it was a lot more than that.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 14, 2014 -> 12:23 PM) Could this be a precursor to a big trade? Is there any advantage to DFAing a s***ty player like this, letting him get claimed, and THEN completing a discussed trade with the claim team, instead of just straight up trading with said team? Like somebody mentioned, no team is gonna claim this guy in the real world. But in conniving Front Office world, is there any reason to plan a DFA-claim-trade instead of throwing him in like Teahen. Just seems like the risk of the trade team backing out would be too great to approach it this way. Big trade like what? Anything they are doing right now is for the future and player development. We arent "going for it" this year.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:52 AM) https://twitter.com/JKeppinger/status/466620010157596672 Yeah well there is literally no spot for him. He needs to go to a contender who wants a vet plug in.

QUOTE (winninguglyin83 @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:33 AM) The good news is that he gawn. The bad news is that it is unlikely they'll also eat Dunn's contract. Maybe Joe Madden will take him back. Fits Tampa's payroll to get him on the ultra cheap -- and he had his best year there. C U Later. They werent going to eat Dunn's contract.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 14, 2014 -> 11:26 AM) Not creepy at all. When they are your neighbors you notice it. Q goes into Crossroads after games as well. Lots of the front office eat at Palace grill.

And there it is, where was my post before the season started about him never playing a game with the Sox?
