QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 13, 2013 -> 08:46 PM) Damnit, I totally stopped watching that game. Even if you did, have to score check a game 7.

Holy f*** Bruins tie it with 2 goals in 30 seconds with under 1:30 left.

Road ownage in game 7's this round.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ May 13, 2013 -> 04:31 PM) So, I've seen Friedell and KC Johnson reporting Deng and Hinrich are out. But no word on Rose yet with 1.5 hours to game time. MAYBE HE'S COMING BACK?! To the Flapship mobile!

Hawks tix for the conference finals went on sale today at 12:00. There are singles floating around for every game...it said unavailable earlier except for a possible game 7, but some are showing back up if anyone wants to get in and grab some. Max of 4 per person total, not per game.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 13, 2013 -> 11:09 AM) It's official, game 1 on Wednesday at 7 PM. Rest of the schedule to be announced tonight. Wed/Sat wastes so much time, plus giving Detroit time to regroup only playing 2 games in the 6 days after ending a 7 game series. Really would have liked Tues/Thu but looks like the other 2 series took tomorrow.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2013 -> 11:45 PM) Not sure why Geico would choose Nicklas Backstrom as a spokesperson but whatever. Looks like it's Detroit in round 2. DETROIT SUCKS! I've thought the same thing every time. 3 different commercials, and only guys like me and you know who the hell he is. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 13, 2013 -> 06:55 AM) Detroit Red Wings ‏@DetroitRedWings Round Two will start in Chicago with games on Wed & Sat. Full schedule will be released tomorrow. Weird. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 13, 2013 -> 08:04 AM) Ugh, I really wanted it to get going on Tuesday. Agreed.

Haha. In years past they've had series start the day after other series' game 7's. Plus they don't exactly have time to waste in this post season, hence some of the back to backs, etc.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2013 -> 08:45 PM) Base hit. Back to hockey. +1

It'd be beyond fitting for him to go 9 perfect and have us scoreless. Better be prepared for extras, Chris.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ May 12, 2013 -> 07:11 PM) That's what I was thinking, unless they want an off day after the game 7(s) tomorrow, then I could see them going Wed./Sat.? I just hope they announce it right after the Ducks game, I need to schedule my life. Well there's already a break for the West, Monday.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 12, 2013 -> 09:15 AM) Will game 1 be Tuesday night? That would be choice. I'd assume so. Bulls are scheduled for Friday, so can't go Wed/Fri. Tues/Thu would make the most sense.

I realize a lot of people have trailed off on watching The Office, but still sad to see it coming to an end next week.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ May 10, 2013 -> 09:53 AM) Crosby missed like 15 games in a shortened season. Yes, he was a monster, but that matters. How Stamkos AND St. Louis miss the ballot is beyond me. I'm OK with Crosby finishing top 3, at least. Stamkos/St. Louis likely split a bunch of votes and the fact they missed the playoffs played into it too. Same goes for Brobrovsky.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 10, 2013 -> 07:40 AM) I am amazed how nothing has been said about the homer we had taken away from us. Because you couldn't see anything on any replay.

Game should have been 2-0 Wild about 10 minutes in. Crawford with a few huge ones. On the other hand, Wild goalies combined gave up softies last 2 games, took them out of those games pretty easily.

QUOTE (VAfan @ May 9, 2013 -> 08:02 PM) There used to be serious dialogue on Sox Talk. Let's just say I'm more disappointed in the response to this post than I am in the performance of the White Sox in 2013. Out of 79 replies, I counted about 5 that had anything substantive to say. It's pretty sad. I thought your post was fine, likely would have responded to it until the thread got derailed by a reply that was hard to ignore. As such, most people replied to that post for being ridiculous in "response" to yours. That's on one person.

QUOTE (farmteam @ May 9, 2013 -> 04:58 PM) Too bad they couldn't get the shot clock lowered. 35 is way too much. Doesn't need to be 24, but maybe 30 would work. Agreed, no reason not to move it to 30. 35 is way too long, so much standing around. If I wanted standing around, I'd go watch HS basketball.

Agreed, though I feel like that call will always be subjective...this just tilts it so more blocks are called in the future (in theory), which should be happening now anyway.

"Illinois rule" going into play, as well as verbage on block/charge changing: http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball...lock-violations

I guess this would go here. Teacher died at the game after choking on a hot dog. So sad. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-leag...-211543867.html

Um WTF

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ May 9, 2013 -> 11:03 AM) Wait 'til you're my age. Without a drop of grog, I have trouble making it to the end of the 8:30 starts. I hope like hell we don't play any West Coast teams further on. And yes, I am truly ashamed of myself. Well if Anaheim wins one of two games, Sharks are next.

"But it was a damn good post" and then 300+ more.

Overtime night! 3rd of the night starting soon. Best thing in the world. If you haven't seen the Boston/Toronto game winner go watch it first...then click. https://vine.co/v/b2PFre2auF5
