QUOTE (shysocks @ Apr 21, 2016 -> 09:33 AM) Sox were 12-18 in Danks starts last year. Stop selling the guy short, it was actually 13-17.

Panthers have rescinded the franchise tag from Josh Norman. He us an UFA.

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 03:42 PM) I would say all things considered, about an 80% chance that was the final game of Shaw's Blackhawks career. It would be a fitting ending for him. He scored a big goal doing the dirty work in the goalie's face, but then had a stupid penalty that crippled their comeback chances.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:21 AM) I think Crawford has been fine. Kane, Toews, Anisimov, and Panarin have 1 goal total. That's why they are down 3-1. QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:42 AM) Crawford has been fine, you're right. But Elliot has been better. All year we have talked about how the team is completely dependent on the 2nd line scoring and Crawford standing on his head. Well, Crawford has been outplayed, and Tarasenko is outscoring the 2nd line 3-1. Case closed.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 20, 2016 -> 08:37 AM) Anyone have a rationale for this? Seems stupid and a nice way to draw terribly. It's also vs a team who has a history on screwing us with times I believe. They drew under 27,000 combined the last two nights. How much worse can the day attendance be? Maybe they are appealing to the 4/20 crowd?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:37 PM) No, but Saad and Sharp would have helped offensively and Oduya did kill penalties. I'm not saying those 3 were main cogs. My point is that if this past offseason symbolizes the end, it was a great run. Finding Oduya's replacement along with better depth will be tough with Panarin's extension and a lack of draft picks. Trading a solid, cheap, young Danault for the 2 idiots they got in return was a mistake too. f*** man, I was so excited for Teuvo to play with those 2 idiots. Oops

LOL. I love offside review. If they somehow tie this...

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:19 PM) Very. You just expect them to say "Ok, time to win this thing" and actually do it. Not sure the magic is there. I wonder if Toews is just worn down from playing so much hockey the last 3 years, something just seems a tad bit off.

Puck luck!

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 11:03 PM) That literally has nothing to do with their performance. This team is still very good. They haven't really shown up and they are playing a team that clearly wants it more. The finished with a lot of points in the best division, but they also didn't beat a Western playoff team for two months, so I think it's more than which team wants it more.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:19 PM) Dumb f***ing penalty. I would expect that from Shaw, not from Ladd.

If the season ended today, would Mat Latos win the Cy Young?

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 10:11 PM) St. Louis has completely lost focus. Officiating is going to be super tight now St Louis losing focus in a playoff series??? Never...

Pretty awesome that Crawford s fight somehow led to the Blues top 2 D men in the penalty box at once during that goal.

No idea how the Hawks got a power play after Corey started a fight but I will take it

QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:21 PM) Now they are rolling 19-88-16 Shaw is on with 72-15 Teuvo-Kruger-Hossa

I have zero faith in the 1st, 3rd, or 4th lines scoring a goal. And the Blues have kind of quieted Kaner.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 19, 2016 -> 09:12 AM) I went last night. There were like 15,000 in the house to see a 1st place team with nice weather. And then the people that were there booed Rodon on his way off the field. This f***ing terrible fan base deserves everything it gets. It was a joke. I told everyone around me that was booing that they were clowns. They didn't like it very much. It's one thing to boo an underperforming vet making big money (Dunn/LaRoche). It's another to boo a 23-year old kid who has 150 career innings under his belt. That's pretty ridiculous in my book, especially given how lights out he was the first two starts.

Wow, this stat: It was Chicago's first regulation loss when leading after two periods since Game 2 of the 2014 Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Kings. The Blackhawks had been 70-0-4 since the start of last season when they had the lead at the beginning of the third, according to STATS.

I don't know why Thome is getting bad mouthed but you might want to check your old baseball cards. He crushed it for the Sox.

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ Apr 17, 2016 -> 07:27 PM) I just wonder if the role Teuvo is built to play and the role Q wants him to fill are incompatible. He seems to always be on the "checking " line but that just doesn't fit him. He needs to play with more skilled guys but there is no room on the second KGB line. Maybe he could switch with Hossa?

So the refereeing in that Leicester game, wow, what a s*** show. Of course in the end Leicester still managed to get a point out of it
