QUOTE (Marty34 @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 02:46 PM) The Sox turned Gavin Floyd, Jake Peavy, Alex Rios, Jessie Crain, and Matt Thornton into Leury and Avisail Garcia. That was a bad job of asset management. They can't afford to devalue their tradable players in order to save money. To whom would you have traded those players and for which prospects?

Catcher?

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 01:26 PM) Wow talk about the US screwing themselves by playing well. Play the winner of the two strongest second tier teams then Canada in the semis. Canada doesn't have it much easier. Like Krush said, Switzerland is no push over with Hiller in net, then the US is looming. Sweden took advantage of an easier group and combined with Slovakia's no show vs Slovenia, they are looking good into the semis.

Drew Doughty saves the day for Canada. US is the 2 seed, face the winner of the Czechoslovakian civil war, with Canada potentially lurking in the semifinals.

They have five starters without Dempster, so this doesn't change anything. Nothing to see here for White Sox fans. Classy move by Dempster to walk away from $13 million.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Feb 16, 2014 -> 09:50 AM) had they lost, that team probably would've made a quick exit from the tournament. Seems like a team not handling all the pressure well. Maybe this win will get them going now. True, but I'd still prefer to avoid playing them that early. If Canada/Finland ends in regulation, US gets Switzerland. If it goes to overtime, US faces winner of Czech Republic vs Slovakia.

Good thing Russia won that shootout. Had they lost, it was very likely they were facing the US in the quarterfinals.

39 points? Wow. And to think in late December I actually thought about driving down to Champaign for tonight's game. Instead I watched the Olympics at home, good call on my part. I give Groce a pass on this year, tourney bid or bust next spring.

Spring training is the worst

Russia was the better team in the first, but still scoreless. If I was in my early 20s, I would so be at a bar right now.

QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 05:41 PM) If they are performing in different equipment than they trained in, then it seems like they only have themselves to blame. I doubt the athletes had much of a say in the matter, but I agree it is ridiculous they never even really tested the uniforms. Publicity won over performance I guess.

QUOTE (rowand's rowdies @ Jan 18, 2014 -> 05:52 PM) Stay away from Jack in the Box, El Pollo Loco, In and Out Burger, and Del Taco unless you have easy and immediate bathroom access. This comment costs you all & any credibility you had.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Feb 4, 2014 -> 09:47 AM) Every one of those awful quotes, in context, make sense. I mean, they're still inappropriate in public, but in private between two friends? And it sure seemed like Martin played a long too. Not to the same degree, but still. I'd be super pissed if I were Icongnito. This asshole ruined your career over nothing. Or not. http://deadspin.com/the-worst-stuff-from-t...dati-1522846626

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 09:18 AM) Unless it is a publicly funded building, businesses have the right to refuse service to anybody. I don't think it's right, but if I walked in there right now and they didn't want to serve me, they shouldn't have to. It really is amazing to me though how unaccepting some people are of the gay community. It literally does not affect you whatsoever. Wasn't there a floral business in the Northeast that was fined and punished for refusing to do business with a gay couple looking for wedding floral arrangements?

Dear NBC, Please refrain from using British announces for ice hockey games. The score of a hockey game is NEVER "nil-nil". Thanks.

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Feb 14, 2014 -> 08:40 AM) Sweden is only +3 after 2 games. They are going to be going for a bucketful of goals tomorrow against Latvia. Given all their injury problems, I don't know if they will be that agressive. Zetterberg is now out for the tourney (and maybe the NHL season), so they are missing arguably 2 of their best 3 players. One point vs. Latvia clinches them a bye into the QF, and if USA/USSR goes to OT, then Sweden clinches a top 2 seed with a simple regulation win.

Once again, Norway's Curling pants are awesome.

Hawks should sign Ziga Jeglic ASAP. Come on Slovenia

Halak to the bench, Budaj replaces him, the rout is on. USA!

Russians quickly went up 2-0, but Slovenia is hanging in there. Its basically Anze Kopitar on a rec league team but they are making the home fans nervous.

4-1 good guys. Always enjoy seeing Halak flopping around the ice.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 08:14 PM) You big 10 fans missed an incredible Pitt-'Cuse ending. Canadians are doing better at the Olympics, taking over college basketball, dominating TMZ, what's left?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Feb 12, 2014 -> 02:32 PM) No, he's getting that much because he was really, really good last year. Leaving the AL East will do that
