It amazes me that Roman Polak is still skating around 15 minutes a game. He is a black hole of suck. His zone starts are about as sheltered as you can get and seemingly every one of his shifts is still a disaster. I don’t know what DeBoer is holding back for, If Burns, Martin, Vlasic and Braun have to skate half the…
yeah Bobby Hull was lucky to have his domestic violence run-ins safely within the era where hardly anyone found out, and even if they did, they didn’t much care.
that and slapping your wife around.
I agree, and I’ll never begrudge a player getting every last dollar he can out of a team. But i’ll play devil’s advocate. It’s not like they are making anyone take a reduction in salary, more like saying ‘yeah you could get paid 10% more to go work at that company in another city, or you could stay here and save the…
I didn’t grow up with a local zoo but I found other dependable sources for wildlife education.
The lightning need an overhaul of their defense behind hedman and stralman. Beyond those two they have four third-pairing defensemen. Coburn, Garrison Sustr and Carle just aren’t good enough and it was the difference in this series and against the hawks last year. At times in this series the Penguins were carrying a…
This gives me confidence that the Hawks made the right call in strategically losing to the Blues in order to save Hitchcock’s job. It apparently took him the entire Hawks series and 5 games into this one to to realize maybe he should be giving his only dynamic scoring threat Vladimir Tarasanko more minutes than David…
Mike North is an asshat extraordinaire. between him and Mike Murphy the Score’s morning-lunch lineup was a wasteland of shitty takes and pandering to the meatball ‘blue collar Chicago’ fans who actually believe in things like Bear Weather and cream their pants at the mention of teams that ‘take their lunch pail to…
I’d argue this was the most dominant pitching performance in history. The Astros only managed to hit the ball beyond the infield twice all day. And those Astros were a legitimately good team, winning 102 games that year. The one hit they got could have been called an error and it wouldn’t have been that controversial…
Stars forwards are probably going to need to stop taking up residence on the opposite blueline on the break out. They were constantly floating around deep in the neutral zone waiting for stretch passes, hanging their defensemen out to dry with two forecheckers in their faces and no outlet. Niemi and Lehtonen are…
“rivalries” are at their most pathetic when only one team considers it a rivalry. If you asked a team who their biggest rival is and that team doesn’t reciprocate, it doesn’t deserve the ‘rivalry’ bullshit. When I was at Penn State they seemed to consider Ohio State their big rival whereas Ohio State probably couldn’t…
Now that the hawks strategically allowed the Blues to win (if they had won, the blues would have fired Ken Hitchcock, that definitely would not be in the hawks’ best interest)I’m hoping for a sharks/stars WCF and Islanders/Caps ECF and a Sharks/Caps SCF, though really I’d like to see any one of those teams win it all.
only missing the scarf
He gave up on the mullet to pursue full-time Gru cosplay.
In 2014 he had a 2.53 ERA and a .989 WHIP. If thats “okay” I’d like the cubs to find some more “okay” pitchers. A change of scenery and working with one of the best pitching coaches in the game can do that for a player. The Cubs traded for him based on his FIP being quite a bit better than his ERA, leading the Cubs to…
The key is movement, movement without the puck to create passing lanes and mess up defenders’ assignments. Too many teams try to just pass from point to point and then fire the puck through 4 shin pads on the way in.
I don’t really think this would be Tarkin. Presumably the bad guy in this movie is tasked with not allowing the rebels to get the plans to the death star. we already know the rebels succeed. Whoever it is, I doubt they’d be around after such a failure, Darth Vader kills people for coming out of lightspeed too early,…
Come on, it’s very early in the St. Louis sports calendar, the Blues haven’t even lost in the first round yet.
I call it my White Privilege Cannon.
