  1. Anyone know how long is this free preview NHL Center Ice on for? I didn't order it this year and it's on, didn't order NFL Sunday ticket this year either, first time in a long long time. The female in the house thinks most games we watch are on our cable package anyways, cpl weeks in doesn't seem like it, shouldn't' have listened to her.
  2. A team hasn't sat out their starter for that long since the 1930's. That should be telling to even most occasional observers of the game.
  3. that would be something,,, TEX is almost as hot as the Jays for the last half of the season. Difference is they didn't act like they won the world series after making the playoffs. frack all these years of watching them suck and now they might get swept.
  4. It's always the coach's decision to set the lineup. they started their backups after the "big party" and lost 2 in a row, lost of few going into the playoffs and haven't snapped out of it yet.
  5. dumb manager let his team party like they won the world series after clinching the division, then gave his ace an 11 day rest. No player can perform at the top of his game after that long a rest. Not surprised they're going to be down 2-0.
  6. FRACKKKK that was their chance, now TEX will score a cpl runs and it'll be over....
  7. lets get one here boys, pushing your luck now, need one here to end this roller coaster ride....
  8. Donaldson out for precautionary reasons. pbbly making sure its not serious.
  9. oh boy.. 2-0 I heard somewhere rangers are the 2nd hottest team in the MLB over the last half of the season after the Jays. THis is going to be a tuogh series.
  10. what was the reason MLB gave for closing roof?? any idea. On Cherry yeah he's right a lot of times, i'm just commenting on his appearance dressed up like a clown as usual...
  11. Price is on today. Tomorrow is going to be an even more exciting game. Stroman vs Hamels.
  12. Biggest hot dog in Canada Don Cherry on here hoeing for attention. Dressed up like a clown as usual.
  13. Totally agree Sbisa could be that guy. He totally could. With that give away last night I swear I saw it coming 2 seconds before he handed it over. He could have turned back and fired it around the boards. Or be harder on the puck if was going to make the same play he did. Just simple stuff nothing he can't handle. Right now I don't care if this unit makes a mistake once in a while. It's part of the process. Every D pairing makes mistakes particularly the 3rd pairing. I just wish Hutton doesn't get over coached and his natural skill doesn't get suppressed in the process. Just let him play the game as it comes to him and let him develop the skills everyone fell in love with him for.
  14. Not that I said that because frankly I didn't know much about Hutton, but in fairness to those who did I don't think anyone expected what we got in Hutton. Not even mgmt expected this. It's still early and lets see where we are in 10 or 20 games but it seems we've found a gem in the rough. Over the dog days of summer we were dreaming of a day we draft a young future 1D who can skate, and move the puck + QB the PP. I'm not sure anyone thought we already had one. We've needed this type of player for a long long time. I'm trying to stay even keel but it's tough not to get excited with this guy. All that plus 6'3? pinch me...
  15. Yeah JR, makes sense. We all wish Sbisa was a bit more defensively responsible. It seems he panics and hands the puck over instead of staying calm and eating the puck or making a safer play. I really liked Bart with Hammer so lets see how the Hutton Sbisa pairing rolls for a few games.
  16. Man that's a tough comparison. But yeah, I thought he'd be a top tier Dman too. Lidstrom didn't win his first Norris until he was 31 years old. Edler is 29 and going into his prime. I think he'll have a great showing this year. Torts messed with his confidence and screwed up his playing style. Expect big things from Edler this year. Hutton is our next big hope. Love his skating. If we could match him with a defensivley responsible partner who can gel with him it would be great. Hutton is young and new to the big leagues, he"ll make mistakes so a solid partner could cover for him when he does make that mistake. He's going to be a good one. Looking forward to seeing how Hutton turns out.
  17. It would be a great SuperBowl game if those two teams make it though. I'd love to see the top 2 QBs in the league going at each other in the Championship game.
  18. ^^ Not surprise to see you here RR. lol... yeah he's a great corner.
