I'm an ND fan, but if you really slow that down, his arm is knocked down and contact is made with the ball before he starts his arm forward. At that time the ball looks like it's slightly out of his hand then his arm goes forward. The best angle was the one from the far end zone, and the one from the other end zone was good as well. I can see why they called that a fumble. Really tough to tell though.

Yeah, this is why the United Center is more Wrigley Field than Chicago Stadium: http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/blackhawks...khawks-fan.html

Fight On.

I like that they had (perhaps team issued) Tennessee gear on http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4647094

In other news, he changed his number to 55.

QUOTE (Controlled Chaos @ Nov 9, 2009 -> 12:54 PM) Anybody watching The League. Heard about it on the radio...so watched it last Thurs. Hilarious. Yeah, it's a decent watch.

Buff on a shootout attempt.

Remember two years ago when some people thought Buff should remain a defenseman?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 12:28 PM) Again, all I said was the UC gets rowdy. You're just looking for a fight which I'm not going to give you. There was nothing ignorant about saying the United Center gets rowdy. You responded to someone saying they miss the Chicago Stadium with "maybe." Pretty sure the conclusion drawn from that is obvious. QUOTE (SockMe @ Oct 26, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) Chicago Stadium might have just seemed more rowdy cause it was a smaller space? Thats just a guess, I wasn't really around when they played there I was, and the reason wasn't just because it had less square footage.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 23, 2009 -> 10:16 AM) Say it again. When someone makes as ignorant a comparison as you did, I will.

ISU could beat Illinois in Wii basketball, perhaps.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 03:26 PM) I'm worried about this weekend's game, Iowa hasn't won at Michigan State in 14 years (dating back to 1995). 14 years ago was what year?

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 12:12 AM) I was in Showtimes seats tonight, and the guy behind me kept saying "Come on Toes" every time 19 got the puck. I wanted to punch him in the face. And he would have deserved it. I would have said something for sure. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 22, 2009 -> 09:24 AM) Yeah, I'll take the Cubs crowd over no crowd. 300 level has always been the best. Because in general, that's where the hockey fans are. 200 and 100 levels are full of non-hockey fans. You can take the Cubs crowd over no crowd, but it doesn't put it on the same planet as the stadium.

Actually the worst part of the play wasn't the decision or the failed chip attempt by Kane...it was the cushion Campbell gave him after for pretty much no reason after he obtained the puck. The Canucks were in the midst of a change. Campbell pursued a bit then peeled off, an awful decision. Gave him a nice opportunity right from the dot.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 08:42 PM) I didn't say they were the same. That doesn't mean games aren't rowdy. You did say "maybe." He/we should miss it. Nothing compares. As far as UC, 300 level is pretty good. Everywhere else is a glorified Cubs crowd that will cheer when a horn blows.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 21, 2009 -> 09:22 AM) Maybe. Hit up a Hawks game in the UC now that the team is relevant again. It gets rowdy as s***. Not even a comparison. Don't go there.

Might want to read something before just assuming what something might say

Well, alrighty then.

Huet being pulled was as much about waking the team up as it was his performance. Any goalie anywhere is getting pulled if 3 goals go in within a minute. Goal 2, bad. Goals 1 and 3, turnovers/blown coverage. Niemi comes in, even worse. This blows, but it's one game. s*** happens. Huet hasn't looked great yet but we're likely stuck with him, so here's hoping for a turnaround. He's got the ability, but not the consistency.

QUOTE (The Critic @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) Don't let other fans' knowledge of the game intimidate you, Shipps. Everyone was a "newer fan" at some point, and you don't have to know who Lou Angotti or Jerry Korab were to be a "real" Hawks fan. Just go to the games and enjoy it, and don't worry whether anyone else respects your fandom. If you're into the Hawks, you're a fan. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 03:30 PM) And I will say this at the risk of pissing some people off, but hard core hockey fans tend to be the biggest snobs about other fans. I think because the fraternity of hockey fans is smaller, they are more sensitive to "bandwagon" fans than other sports. What pisses me off are the newbie fans that THINK they know everything, act like they are the biggest fan ever, and are loud about it, when in reality they don't know much at all and are just annoying since they've recently jumped on. If you're a newbie trying to learn stuff, I'll talk hockey with you all day long. The more people that know hockey and have an appreciation for the game, the better. The rest of you are just passing time until the next Cubs game. That, and wait for a f***ing whistle.

Some are missing the point, it's not about the game the Sox played in. That would be a dumb question with an obvious answer. Tonight's game was a far better baseball game to watch.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 23, 2009 -> 07:49 AM) Bringing Madden in takes up one of those spots already. Yeah, but that doesn't take away Burish's spot, so that's irrelevant.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 22, 2009 -> 12:21 PM) just found out it on espn, out six months with a torn ACL http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nhl/news/story?id=4494469 Jack Skille, your table is ready Maybe, or it could be Colin Fraser doing back flips.

Game over

Krush and SnB will be there for SnB's swan song
