For the love of the game, people, start rooting for the Dallas Stars

Well at least that was one point 4-3 Sens in OT

I can't believe that didn't go in.

QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 08:13 PM) Yeah, nothing pedestrian about that Panarin goal. That was super pretty.

How appropriate to see notorious abuser of women Bobby Hull and his current iteration, Patrick Kane, in the same graphic.

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Dec 3, 2015 -> 07:33 PM) I didn't think it was an overly bad period. For the first 5 and last 5 minutes the Hawks played pretty well. However the score is truly the only thing that matters Andrew Shaw has been horrible. Not exactly what I'd call a smart hockey player. I don't expect that level of stupidity from Hossa, and Panarin looks pedestrian as of late. This team really misses Brandon Saad.

Well this looks to be a complete suckfest.

QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 11:38 AM) WHAT???? Someone signed him for actual money? I guess he'd be good as a defensive oriented utility man, but he can't hit at all. Dude can't hit, but he can field. This is what you pay a veteran who can do that.

QUOTE (LDF @ Dec 2, 2015 -> 02:45 AM) well the blackhawks lost 2-1 in regulation play. someone mention, the first game back is an important game, why??? That sucked. Every game matters in the strongest division in hockey.

1) Baseball money is stupid now 2) There needs to be a way to address teams with infinite pockets

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 04:14 PM) But the White Sox should totally trade Chris Sale. Not yet, but eventually. Can't get fair value, yet.

QUOTE (JUSTgottaBELIEVE @ Dec 1, 2015 -> 04:06 PM) AustinIllini was certain Cubs would sign him because you know the Madden connection. Ha, cash is king Cash is king but that's stupid money. I thought they would land him but I didn't think they would be the highest bidder.

The Cubit contract is 100% ideal for Illinois. This is an awful time to need to hire a coach. Now they can re-evaluate. Heck, with only 76 bowl eligible teams, the Illini might play in December (which would be awful)

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 29, 2015 -> 11:27 PM) What a f***ing game that was. I still don't think the Patriots will lose in Foxboro but good to see they are beatable. Depends what is wrong with Gronkowski. It sounds like it's not that bad, but playoff defenses could be a big problem for the Patriots with all their injuries.

That one should not have gotten away.

Seabrook. Seriously?

QUOTE (soxfan49 @ Nov 28, 2015 -> 08:25 PM) Minnesota was up 3-0 vs Dallas in the 3rd and Dallas tied it No one beats Dallas in OT. It doesn't happen. Benn-Seguin-Klingberg Sharp-Spezza-Goligoski Best two lines in 3-3, period. That doesn't happen in the postseason, however. Their defense is still lacking and their best defenseman is very young and makes a lot of mistakes. That being said, Dallas is the Western Conference team that can beat Chicago at their own game.

Dallas has not looked awesome for a couple of weeks, but they still continue to win. The Central is just so stacked.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 26, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) I'm sure you know Panarin went undrafted but the Hawks signed him as a KHL free agent. He was already being called "the Russian Patrick Kane " before they signed him and those reports appear to be spot on. The way you wrote makes it seem like the Hawks drafted him. Not sure why I didn't remember that. Since the Ilya Kovalchuk thing, teams have undervalued KHL players calling them "risks". I can't say I blame them. Glad this one is working out.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 10:20 AM) The Bears defense is having an incredible run of not looking that dominant but at the end of the game they gave up less than 20 Pts and held another team scoreless in second half. The job fangio has done is incredible. Ownership needs to open up the checkbook for that guy.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 27, 2015 -> 08:29 AM) NESN had a article explaining how insensitive and classless it was of CBS to show Romo's wife crying after he was injured yesterday. Of course the article contained a still photo of her crying and video of was was supposedly classless. That really sucks for Tony Romo (a guy I really like), but networks do this.

Everyone talks up Adam Gase. Vic Fangio is a wizard.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Nov 26, 2015 -> 10:29 AM) With guys like Eichel and McDavid getting all the press before the season, getting Panarin was quite the coup for the Hawks. Agreed. It's picks like that which breed winners. The fact is, drafts are going to be huge for a quick Blackhawks rebound. So far, so good. Now it's Defense that's going to be huge going forward.

Just ordered a Teravainen Stadium Series jersey (only like 4 left in L). That look has grown on me, but I miss the original '09 Winter Classic jerseys.

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ Nov 25, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Former All-Star and Silver Slugger in '11. But let's b**** and complain. Ya never know man hope he bounces back. At 2.5 mil if you're b****ing you just need to step back and wait for more moves. This isn't a bad signing. So what has he done lately to give me confidence? Nothing. He's a guy. That's it.
