Goal, but the Hawks held on with a 3-2 win.

QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 09:00 PM) Hawks are looking flat. Blues are blocking a ton of shots. Bondra...Peter Bondra...ties it with a 5 on 3 PP goal!!! # 499! The Vrbata with another PP goal! 2 -1 Hawks! 2 goals within a minute of eachother. HAMILTON MAKES IT 3!

Either the Hawks are really bad on the Power Play or the Blues are really good at stopping it.

QUOTE(Hangar18 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 05:00 PM) man I love this place What are you smoking? Garland is quite a better pitcher than Jennings. He's right. Seeing how this is the exact same offer that they gave for JG, then Kenny is smart for backing down. Obviously, we wait until Zito is off the market, then we give up Vaz or Jon for a nice package.

Happy birthday Mike!!! I hope you and your family enjoy it.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 07:04 PM) Uh, why would he be? Ahhhh, got it. They're Indiana recruits. Me =

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 12:17 PM) I don't much care for the guy anymore, but hey, to each his own I suppose. Off topic, but why is Derrick Rose not in there?

Happy Birthday Goldy!!!

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Dec 11, 2006 -> 03:19 PM) a successful advertising campaign in my eyes must have "The King" from the burger king commercials in it. I couldn't agree more.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 10:32 PM) Yes, and he is an UFA after this year. Really a shame, as Zues was playing GREAT with Marty. The combo could have been really, really fun to watch all season. I really hope the Hawks find a way to keep him. I do remember the opening game of the season, he and Havlat played well together. His hair is also flippin awesome.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 10, 2006 -> 10:24 PM) Just stop yourself. Your going to be left shaking your head. No one can tell you for sure, but I have a hard time thinking he is going to just be a bump of a log. The guy has been putting pucks in the net his whole career, and was able to net 20+ just last season. He should be another weapon on the PP, and with the Hawks struggles on the PP, he will be a welcome addition. I don't think he is going to make a HUGE impact, and turn the club upside down, but he could be a solid 2nd line player for the club. It wouldn't be the 1st time they let me down. Anyway, Bondra was one of my favorite players back when he was with the Capitals. I remember the days where he was one of the best players in the NHL. It should be nice to hopefully see him score his 500th goal with the Hawks. 1 more question, Handzus is out for the season, right?

Don't kill me, but I'm really trying hard to get back into hockey. From what I've seen, the players seem to like Savard a lot more than Yawney and I'm really excited for the future of the Hawks. Anyways, my question, does Bondra have anything left to make a real contribution?

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 9, 2006 -> 10:36 PM) You should go all out for Guus Hiddink. Contract with Russia finishes up after the European Championships. But I think he actually wants to come back and coach Australia, and I think that's what's going to go down. Nope, I'm happy with Javier Clemente.

www.tigerdirect.com is great too.

El Duque's 6th inning against the Red Sox. Unbelievable. I'd put Freddy's game 4 WS victory in 2nd, and Bobby Jenks' celebration jump (all of 3 inches off the ground) in 3rd.

I believe he was at a World Series game wearing it to root for the Cardinals.

Jurgen Klinnsman wanted nothing to do with the US team. A tough European coach would have done the US team wonders.

Just for fairness, here are the rules: --First part with be the establishment of platforms (which will also show us who is running). THESE WILL CLOSE ON 11/22. --After that thread is filled with everyone's platforms, the next thread will be a shortened up version of the debates we tried here a while back - this will be much more brief and simple in this case. THESE WILL BE MODERATED AND DESIGNED BY SOXY AND SS2K5, AND WILL OCCUR THE WEEK OF 11/26 TO 12/1. --DURING THAT WEEK, AN ENDORSEMENTS-ONLY THREAD WILL BE OPENED UP. --STARTING ON 12/1, A THREAD WILL BE OPENED FOR EACH CANDIDATE TO MAKE ONE FINAL POST?ADVERTISEMENT. --Then we vote - I'll set it up as a poll.

IT RUNS THROUGH 12/7. --Everyone can vote, but, since its such a small crowd, you may NOT vote for yourself --AFTER THE PRIMARY ELECTION, THE TOP HALF (rounded up) OF VOTE-GETTERS WILL MOVE ON TO THE FINAL ELECTION. --IF 10 OR MORE CANDIDATES ENTER THE ELECTION, WE MAY ADD ANOTHER PRIMARY ROUND. --THE FINAL ELECTION IS ONE WEEK AFTER THE PRIMARY - 12/12 THRU 12/14. --The person with the most votes wins the Presidency, second most wins Vice President --THE NEW PREZ AND VP SHOULD CHOOSE THEIR CABINETS AT THIS POINT.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 12:11 AM) Can SF1 pass a confirmation hearing? Bastard.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Dec 8, 2006 -> 12:09 AM) Mmhmm, the kid pulled it out. Comeback victory! AGAINST ALL ODDS AND MODERATORS. And, for the record, I endorse PA as Vice President, if there's a runoff. If not, then, I'll be happy to have Rex as my insurance policy if someone assassinates me. I would then assassinate them in return.

Wow. A race to the end...

Happy birthday NSS. Hope you have a great one!

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 11:51 PM) The fact that I'm the calm one really makes me nervous about our fanbase as a whole and how much it's overreacting. I'm with you and Rowand44 on this one. I'm going to wait for this to pan out and then react. Nothing to get you're panties in a bunch for now. Sure, we all thought we could get more for Freddy, but we don't know the type of deals that were on the table or the real value that Freddy had. Relax, take a breath, and let's not throw away the next 3 seasons because we traded away 1 player.

QUOTE(sox4lifeinPA @ Dec 6, 2006 -> 04:46 PM) or you could sport a 60g Toshiba for the same price Or I can keep the one I paid zero dollars for.
