Mr. Showtime

I got the Rumble for free on Direct TV. No idea what happened, just put the channel on to watch the countdown show, and all of a sudden it came on. I checked, and the show wasn't listed in my purchases file. So YAY!

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 11, 2008 -> 01:28 PM) Me too. Hopefully I'm not stuck sitting next to some assclown that doesn't wait for a whistle. Not me, I remember last game when you went off on those guys. That was funny to me. I was telling my new GF about that, since she doesn't know much about hockey etiquette. People, wait for the ****ing whistle!

I'll be in the house tonight. Hopefully a victory is in store! Sopel back in the lineup tonight

QUOTE(Steve9347 @ Jan 10, 2008 -> 10:07 PM) Alexander Ovechkin signs a 13-year, 124 million dollar deal. I thought that Dipietro deal was odd. Comedy. When are these owners going to learn?

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 10:19 PM) f*** this season Just in time for Friday night!

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Jan 9, 2008 -> 09:25 PM) Instead of "tearing him a new asshole" I hope our fans show they have some working knowledge of game, and take full advantage of having the chance to ask any question to one of the most powerful people in the organization. Good luck with this. I for the record, will not be at Soxfest. Thx.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Jan 6, 2008 -> 05:04 PM) Out of nowhere, Havlat is playing tonight. I just saw that, caught me off guard. Hopefully he can last the game.

Oye, looks like people we're reading it wrong. I didn't hear the comment, but I do know how the Score works. If during an update at the top/bottom of the hour Offman said "We'll hear from Kenny Williams at 1:00 on the Swisher trade". That means that during the 1PM update they'll play a clip from a press conference with his comments. Not that he will be on live answering questions. If the host of the show says Kenny will be on at 1:00, than yeah, he'll be on.

Well, I was there in my usual seats this evening. Outside of the little 'fight' that Richmond got into that, the Hawks sure as hell weren't hitting many people this evening. I don't know anything about hockey as most who have met me know (lol) but, there was some real lazy passes this evening. I'm happy they got something point wise from tonight, but other than that, you gotta beat LA. The people behind me in my section, had to be Hawk fans straight outta 1987. Just some bizzare comments on how things 'used to be'. Oye.

Skille is up? Awesome. I'll be there tomorrow night in mah usual seats, looking forward to it! Tony, gonna step up and grab a 12 game plan? Good for you!

I missed most of last nights game. From what I saw, it looked like a good one. My god, the injuries

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Dec 26, 2007 -> 05:38 PM) How'd Santa hook ya up so early this year? Don't know, but luckily he did!

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Dec 7, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) I need a new cohost for the show. It isn't quite the girlfriend you wished for, but you could use the show to try and get ladies. Santa brought me a new GF, just 1 week early though! You want me to help ya out, Gager? Both with the show and with the ladies...

Looks like Bolland is gonna be out for awhile. I know Borque is coming back soon, but who is the call up going to be up? Skille?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 22, 2007 -> 09:40 AM) I was speaking of her nice dress, I don't know how you can turn that into an impure thought. I guess we're getting a look inside your mind, and it ain't pretty. Remind me to never speak to you again.

I'm late to the thread, had a date last night so I had to watch the game this morning. Yeah, I had date, wanna fight about it? I didn't know about Havlat and his injury till this morning, this getting really old. We know how dangerous he can be when on the ice, but we need someone who can stay on the ice. I thought Bulin played a great game.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Dec 20, 2007 -> 08:56 PM) Tonight's TNA holiday "special" is pretty horrible so far, with the EXTREMELY notable exception of Karen Angle. Her dress is very, very enjoyable. No need for impure thoughts like that on this forum.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 20, 2007 -> 10:26 PM) How many of them can you wear at one time? 4-5. We can cover my face pretty good, my chest, and I can tie one around my waist.

I command you all to go buy that shirt now.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 20, 2007 -> 04:31 PM) Well, according to the practice notes, it looks like Savvy is going to put Buff BACK at Wing, and Zyuzin will be paired with Sopel. Really don't like the move. Still an upgrade to have Barks in the lineup and not MagJo, but I really liked the top 6 being Seabrook-Keith, Wiz-Barker, Buff-Sopel...... Eh, lets see what happens in the next game. He seems to flip flop all the time.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) Wow, wish granted. Mags OUT, Barker IN, according CBH.com! I and a few others have been calling for it, and we finally get it. Now lets get Williams back and really get the PP clicking again!

Good start, 3-0!

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 08:23 AM) This trade is actually decent. It's a no lose trade. I think Vandy is a waste. He's not physical anymore, won't fight, has no offensive skills...I just don't like him and not many people do it seems. Eager is an energy guy who has showed some offensive potential (he was a first round pick, so he has some skill) and will hit anything that moves. He'll be fine on the 4th line. But the reason this trade is potentially good is because of what it does to the rest of the roster. Hopefully Buff goes back to D or Barker comes up, and MagicDoo goes back to Europe or something. Also, I think this means Koci is done. Koci can literally only fight, his shifts are worthless out there as he's a brutal skater and Havlat would usually fill that spot throughout the game. Eager is a guy you can dress every game and have him take his normal shift, and he'll take the fights Koci would have had. This isn't the offense Tallon was looking for, and he knows that and didn't try to spin it any differently...but IMO this improves the team a bit, and anything that does that is fine in my book. You know far more about the league than I. My only concern was how the defense shakes out. Considering the woes of the PP, I'd love to see Barker up.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Dec 19, 2007 -> 11:33 AM) New lines for tonight. Havlat-Lang-Kontiola Sharp-Toews-Kane Ruutu-Bolland-Burish Eager-Perreault-Lapointe Keith-Seabrook Zyuzin-Sopel Wiz-Byfuglien Alright fine. As long as we don't end up with Zyuzin and MagJo both playing.

All I can think to say about this trade would simply be, I truly hope DT has some defensive help on the way. I won't be able to stand MagJo and Zyuzin playing all the time if Buff is staying at forward.
