  1. Hansen....used to be such a consistent performer. Been very unnoticeable this season
  2. Phew. I thought we were going on the PP. Crisis averted
  3. Ugh I'm watching Matt LeBlanc on The Tonight Show. I feel so old. He used to be so cute on Friends. Now he's grey and chubby
  4. So not only is the top line not scoring goal...they're also on the ice when we get scored on. Excellent...
  5. Depth players making more plays than top guys. Something is definitely off with the "star" players. And it can't just be Henrik's absence.
  6. Kassian looks good without a lid on. Old time hockey! Dalpe is showing some good signs. He's got decent offensive skill
  7. Wow that shot was going way wide. Nice deflection!
  8. So weird listening to Shorty refer to Daniel as "Sedin." No, he's "Daniel!"
  9. Heck of a run for Genie. She'll learn from this and get better. The WTA is really going to run with this success of hers. They obviously recognize that she's a fantastic player and part of the future of women's tennis. Throw in the fact that she's attractive and has an endearing personality and she's the perfect poster girl for tennis. Genie seems to be wired a lot differently than Rebecca Marino (remember her!?), so hopefully the media attention and pressure won't get to Genie the way it did to Marino. Genie needs to form a really good team around her to make sure she is shielded from unwanted attention. She'll gain a lot of fans as she rises but what's most important is that she perform well and that she enjoys this ride. And fwiw, Bieber tweeted her "good luck"
  10. Wasn't that something!? Unreal points. Thank goodness. With Sharapova and now Azarenka out, I can watch matches without muting the sound again
  11. Right now it says 6:30pm tomorrow (our time) But the schedule changes a lot depending on other matches and the weather so I'd check closer to the time of the match just to confirm.
  12. Big one. Not sure how he gets so much respect. There are at least 3 other documented cases of him either shoving a line judge or ball kid, and also a time where he hit a tennis ball into the crowd towards a crying baby. I've never liked his style of play nor his character. Looks like Nole vs Stan Wawrinka was another epic 5 setter. Stan has really cranked his game up. Huge upset of Nole and I wouldn't be surprised if he wins a few big titles this year
  13. Genie!!! Her game and how she handles herself on the court is mature beyond her years.
  14. Congrats to Sid, Toews, and Weber! Also should be mentioned that Caroline Ouellette was named Captain of the Women, and Greg Westlake was named Captain of Sledge. Congrats to both on well deserved honours. I got to meet and work with Caroline last year and the few hours we spent together were life changing for me. Her words and her passion have stuck with me till today and I continue to draw inspiration from what she told me. And from what I have heard, Greg Westlake is a great veteran guy and a role model to many Good luck to all in the quest of leading their teams to gold
  15. Sharapova out as well. Either the seas are parting for an Azarenka 3-peat (ugh!) or else the field is wide open for an underdog to win it all. I'd love for it to be Li Na or Jankovic. Edit: nvm Jankovic is out too
  16. Genie wins!!! Onto the quarterfinals she goes! Wow what a performance for her!
  17. One thing I can say for sure is: no one can fault Torts for putting out the 4th line. There's no way he can put the twins out against Calgary's 4th line. If the twins get pummeled he'd never forgive himself for letting that happen. You have to defend your team and Torts did that today. He didn't back down.
  18. For the on-ice response I agree. But for going after the Flames in the hallway? I think that crosses a line.
  19. I agree with his decision to put the 4th line out to start the game. But going after the Flames in the hallway outside their locker room is pushing the limit for sure. That's a line you don't cross. Settle scores on the ice. Don't let it become a personal, physical, and verbal battle. It's tough because he has so much passion. But it's something I have learned throughout the course of my career as a hockey player. Being passionate about something it's not excuse you from taking actions that endanger other people. And being passionate about something certainly does not mean that you can be emotional about a situation and cross the line Boy this really isn't going to help our image across the league. Talk about being the most hated team eh!
  20. Serena Apparently her back has been bothering her and she almost withdrew from this match. Real shame though. A healthy Serena is by far the best player in the WTA. No one else deserves to win a Slam, especially if they're not having to face her in the final. But yeah with her gone the field is wide open. A chance for Genie to make a push as well.
  21. Well that was an interesting game to follow on Twitter.... Not sure what is going on with this team. What does it mean? Why are they resorting to this as a method of operation? Do we not trust in our skill anymore? We're just gonna goon it up so that if we're not winning battles on the scoreboard, we're at least winning the battle of the fists? I shouldn't really judge mind you. I didn't watch what happened, nor do I care to. Glad we got the 2 points...with half a team...
  22. Ugh. Milos loses to an opponent ranked lower than him. So many unforced errors. He hit the net more times than a hockey player Real shame too. Bautista Agut has taken out Delpo and Paire in that section of the draw. This was Milos's chance to make the QF's
  23. It depends on what they take away from it. If I remember correctly though, Genie actually took the first set against Serena in their last meeting Is anyone watching Raonic vs Dimitrov right now? Raonic should not be #11. If his serve is returned, he's a machine of errors. No way his game is top 20 material
