Don't take penalties in the offensive zone! 3-1 Hawks. Horcoff PP.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 16, 2008 -> 09:36 PM) 2-2 on the powerplay! 3-0 Hawks on the Campbell smash. Redheads rule.

CAMPBELL!!! FANTASY POINTS! Jesus Christ did he pick his spot. What a snipe job.

QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 16, 2008 -> 09:32 PM) Holy hell what a save on that Havlat shot point-blank. For those little hockey players out there... when you have a chance like that, keep the shot low or try to go over the blocker shoulder... shooting it into the glove is never the best idea!

Ah, Havlat has to bury that shot.

Bulin's trade value is going through the roof playing like this. i love the throwbacks for Edmonton, it makes me feel like I'm watching old school hockey.

Yes or No?

I did not pick HoF, because that would mean you're old, and I like being 25.

They also have Mega Man X2 for $40 on the site, and - as a super Mega Man fan boy and an absolute love of the X series on the SNES (though X4 was decent) - I'm honestly thinking that's a good deal, considering I've seen it for like $50-70 on eBay at times. What do you guys think? If you can make money do it.

QUOTE (G&T @ Dec 16, 2008 -> 12:31 PM) False. But the day is not over yet. The person below me answered "Yes" to the jizz in your pants question. False. Thankfully I can at least last until the good times begin. The person below me will be shoveling this evening.

Regardless, the good games for the Wii are so much more fun to play than the good games for the other systems. That's in my opinion, of course. I don't see why they haven't managed to create a game that combines MLB Power Pros with the simple motion ability of the Wii Sports Baseball game. If they made this simple connection, and had it so you could swing as the real players as well as Wii Sports allows, I'd probably never put it down.

I'm glad to see others realize the greatness of "Jingle All The Way".

My only reaction when I first saw this commercial was "either would give the villagers terrible diarrhea" because their bodies certainly would not be used to fast food.

Sounds good.

Well, the wife and I will have to go to this one. We've been looking for an excuse to go back to Vegas since we left.

QUOTE (ZoomSlowik @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 11:49 PM) If not for the Johnson injury they may well have beaten the Spurs in the 2005 playoffs (the Spurs won 4-1, but every game was within 10 points). Things went similarly in 07 and 08, the games were very close but the Suns didn't have enough to finish the games off. The Spurs haven't exactly blown them out with regularity, though they obviously won the majority of the games. If they had kept him instead of stupidly signing Q for that much money and adding Marcus Banks, things are DRASTICALLY different. Johnson has become a pretty dangerous scorer in Atlanta, imagine what he could do if he had Nash getting him open instead of having to carry his team. There's a very sizeable difference between him and guys like Barbosa and Bell. Then add in basically giving away 1st round picks that could have infused some serious low-cost talent to bolster their depth so they wouldn't have had to run Nash and Marion into the ground and things look pretty damn good. They were already one of the top handful of teams in the league even after selling off Johnson on the cheap. Even forgetting about Johnson and the draft picks that turned into Deng, Rondo and Rudy Fernandez, they were playing a fair amount better with Marion instead of Shaq, and Richardson would have been a great fit with D'Antoni. Obviously they did a lot of things right to get to that level in the first place, but since then things haven't gone particularly well. And by the way, this further solidifies my title as king of the thread-jacking rant that no one really cares about. All the good happened before Steve Kerr got the GM job, I believe.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Dec 15, 2008 -> 11:16 PM) This is the first team I take seriously when it comes to approaching 72-10. If they start off 41-3 or better and I will really start to sweat. I'd put any money down that they won't go 72-10. 70-12, maybe, but 72-10 is not happening.

Again, how people are finding things to complain about this year is beyond me. A "W" flag flying means the Hawks did what they weren't doing the last decade, they are winning!! I don't care if Ronnie Woo-Woo shows up "Hawks WOO Win WOO!" or whatever, if the Blackhawks are winning I'm happy. Ok, Ronnie Woo Woo would be too much, but ANYTHING else is acceptable to me. The Blackhawks are f***ing winning hockey games, and have a legitimate team that can go deep in the playoffs and is so young that they'll only get better. This isn't like 02-03 when we were the oldest team in the league depending on Amonte, Karpotsev, Zhamnov, etc... this is a legit team, and it's impossible to believe that only 415 days ago Bill Wirtz was thankfully pulled from the reigns.

This is why a locker room matters. DT and Co. have done a good job getting good character guys in there and ridding themselves of the Barnaby's and LaPointe's.

QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ Dec 16, 2008 -> 08:40 AM) If the Braves re-entered the Peavy sweepstakes they could really be something. I bet they get in on that now as Escober is expendable or does Escobar go in a package for Dye and Jenks?????? Change your name to Escobar Heat?
