QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 21, 2007 -> 09:49 PM) Kane! HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORN

It finally happened, a game thread that didn't reach page 2 while the game was in progress. Good stuff.

f***ing f***.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 18, 2007 -> 11:43 PM) I really think Brouwer is going to make this team -- there's certainly a spot open for one more rookie besides Toews and Kane. The key will be if he'll get enough minutes, and I'm fairly certain they can find him time on the third line with some combination of Sharp, Perrault, Williams or Bourque. Also, it looks like you can order NHL Centre Ice online now. That'll work out great for me in Milwaukee -- I don't think they can black me out from Hawk home games up here. Speaking of 3rd line, this is a big camp for Bourque and it appears he had a nice game tonight. I'm gonna say "think again" on the center ice blackout but that'd be sweet.

Well the good news is Klesla didn't take out Ruutu's knee, so we have that going.

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 17, 2007 -> 03:38 PM) I know i'm late but i was busy all weekend. I haven't seen an illinois team look that good since i've been here. The running game looked amazing and juice didn't make any dumb mistakes. We keep that up, we're going bowling. That's saying....well, nothing. I was more impressed with the loss to Mizzou than I am with the win this weekend, Syracuse blows. Juice still can't complete any medium to long passes, and that is going to be a huge problem when we face decent defenses. I still have zero confidence in the passing game. If they didn't blow out Syracuse I would have been extremely concerned.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 08:44 PM) Sounds like Koci was really worked on his skating this off-season, which is a big plus. Maybe Jansen is paying off?? I really like Koci some where in this lineup, just for the other team to know not to f*** around with Havlat-Kane-Toews, especially Kane with his size. Oh, and good call on Sharp. Totally slipped. Put him in the lineup for Bourque. Koci IMO is on a game by game basis depending on the opponent. There were certain teams last year especially out west where you knew you wanted him in the lineup. Other games, you don't necessarily need him.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 12:47 PM) Tickets went on sale today -- I'll be at the opener against Detroit. Let the countdown begin -- less than three weeks away from the opener vs the Wild and exactly three weeks till Detroit. I'll be there too. Tickets were on sale yesterday for Hawks fans. QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 15, 2007 -> 05:39 PM) Reading some of posts about the 1st scrimmage at the UC, it sounds like the top 2 lines were putting on a show. No surprise, but it looks to be.. Samsonov-Lang - Havlat, Kane - Toews - Ruutu. The depth could be a bit of an issue, but you get one of the young kids to step up(Skille-Brouwer-Bolland) as well as Perreault on the 3rd line, you could 3 quality lines, which is something the Hawks haven't had in a while. Samsonov-Lang - Havlat Ruutu - Toews - Kane. Brouwer-Perreault-Borque? Koci-Adams-Lapointe I really am not a Borque fan, and really don't like Williams either. Um, Sharp...

UCLA, wow

There's still 55 minutes left in this s***tastic ND game? Yikes.

Now the real fun begins.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 11, 2007 -> 12:13 AM) Yay for having both Lee Evans and Larry Fitz on my fantasy squad, and losing by 6 points this week Underf***ingachievers. I had Harrison, Smith, and Burress going this week

The mics are turned way up, you can hear the crack of the bat and the pop of the mitt like never before.

This is f***ing retarded.

You can distinctly hear each individual fan clapping/cheering

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 10:46 PM) If you're looking to add OBP and defense to the top of the order then David Dejesus and his career .360 OBP and 90 ISOd for the 2007 season would look awful good in a Sox uni in '08 What's his contract situation? I've always thought he was a bit underrated just because he's stuck in KC.

Does anyone actually lick a tootsie roll pop? No.

QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Sep 10, 2007 -> 02:37 AM) BG team by chance? He definitely used to coach some little league teams in BG Long Grove

Totally forgot it was on last night, going to watch it tonight. Very underrated TV show.

I umped a fall ball HS game today with a team coached by Stacey King.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 06:52 PM) Goes along with my OU LSU National Championship game. Those two teams are ridiculously good. I think college football may turn out like this, in no particular order: USC LSU Okla l l l l l l l l Everyone else

QUOTE(SnB @ Sep 9, 2007 -> 11:20 AM) Illinois didn't look impressive last night. Defense looked solid, but the offense had a ton of trouble with western. Juice looked a little better with his decisions, but nothing spectacular. Not all that confident. Juice still can't pass worth a s***, I'd be giving McGee some PT this week.
