swept the leafs for the first time since 96.

schedule loss tomorrow.

whitaker was never the best second baseman. he was quiet. he played in an after-thought media market. he was never an mvp candidate. he was a really good lefty bat in a park that made his power numbers look better. like everyone else here, i'd put him in because he was one of my favorites growing up, but he's not a lock by any means. neither was trammell, the difference being trammell played a more glamorous position, stuck around the game longer, had a great playoffs where he was mvp, should have been the mvp in 87, and had more great seasons than whitaker did. now dont get me started on jack morris, probably the least deserving non-friend of frankie frisch who was voted in this side of harold baines.

david ortiz is in the hof because he was a red sox hero and the media loved him. if manny was a fat POS like ortiz who laughed and made the media feel special, they would forget about the roids in 5 seconds. just like they forgot about ortiz's positive test. is ortiz still looking for the culprit who faked his test? or is too busy recovering from getting shot in the bahamas?

the #1 overall pick in the draft turns out to be an ok #4 depth starter. Not ideal. that could easily be jackson jobe soon too. pitchers are fragile.

panarin doesnt really fit for them right now. do they need another small, skilled forward when you already have kane, debrincat, and raymond? kadri too, and i dont want to touch that contract. petersson has been discussed to death. i'm not giving up much of anything of real value for that contract. hamilton makes more sense as a second pair defenseman. they can absorb the contract without any retention. not sure if jersey will actually move him with hughes being hurt, or that they would move him to an eastern conference team. unfortunately i could see them get stamkos just because of yzerman's relationship with him. although stevie holds grudges and might be mad that stamkos turned them down a few years ago (blessing in disguise). out of all the players they mentioned, stamkos or hamilton are probably the most likely to come here. that said, if they do make a move, i bet its for faulk or a depth defenseman that wont cost them a #1 pick.

jordan poole has always been a joke. a very expensive joke.

seider for norris.

one thing i know for sure, detroit is a better team than toronto. when detroit's first two forward lines are on the ice, i feel pretty confident. when seider/ed are on, i feel pretty confident. when i see our bottom pair on the ice, i get very very nervous.

detroit dominates ot. seider manhandles the leafs defender, gives to larkin for the game winner. sweep!

less than 10 minutes of ice time for asp.

at one end, the leafs crush seider in the detroit zone, back to the other end and rasmussen gently glides with the leaf defender behind the net. YOURE 6'5, HIT SOMEBODY!

"illness" is a euphemism for burger king.

bring on the chaos.

Let us not speak of such horrors.

"told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." grrrr....were mad!

just like casey mize!

dude, NEBRASKA is a basketball school...

and montreal wins it with 15 seconds left because OF COURSE THEY DO. NO ONE IN THIS DIVISION EVER LOSES A GAME EVER!

one note on cossa, the fact that both goalies in gr have great stats might say more about gr's defense than the goalies. but its a good problem to have, having a lot of goalie prospects. i still think its possible augustine doesnt sign after this season and becomes a free agent. we'll see. hopefully not.

me too, but we already gave up a second for gibson. as much as sherwood would likely help them (assuming he's healthy), i think their resources will be better spent elsewhere if they choose to make a trade. mbn seems like a guy who can handle the "heavy checking forward" role, and sherwood's production this year is highly inflated and not likely to continue. they desperately need a second pair defenseman, if theyre going to give up a first or multiple seconds, it should be for that, if possible.

so can the warriors back out of butler's contract the way butler backed out of his contract in miami?

you fired tom thibodeau in order to hire mike brown. its not KAT's fault youre bad. he is who he is: soft. at least thibodeau got him to play hard for a season.

couldnt happen to a nicer guy.
