Can't wait to see the suspensions. Unfortunately, suspending plugs like Martin, Gillies, and Haley won't really hurt the Islanders, so I am wondering the NHL comes down heavy with a fine also.

Find me a goalie that does nothing but stand stationary in the crease. Chances are he sucks. Also, how many people, even "random obese" people, are as big as the net, or shaped like the net? Probably nobody.

Absolutely can't have a letdown tonight. It would totally ruin last night's game.

Amazing that a game features a sucker punch, and it isn't even the dirtiest play of the night. I kind of wish the Islanders were good, just so that I could hate them.

Kind of late, but the Penguins-Isles game tonight was nuts.

A bunch of teams do confetti after every win. I know, it is very lame.

Rofl @ the Cavs announcers. If I had lived under a rock for the past few months and turned this on, I would guess they are about to win the championship from listening to them.

I am currently watching a game from the '87 finals. So insane to go back and watch this now. You almost forget how different the game used to be. Crazy how much [expletive] the defensemen were able to get away with back then.

More impressive than adding one to the W column... -Won a close game against a good team. Something they failed to do in both Celtics games, one of the Lakers games, two Magic games. -Held the Spurs to 71 points. SEVENTY ONE. Wow.

The 76ers just beat the Spurs. What the [expletive] is going on?

I think I threw one with Jon Lieber at one point. It was pretty outstanding.

Good lord, Spencer Hawes sucks. Wait, have I made a post similar to this in the past? Hmm. Deja vu.

Cory Sullivan signs a minor league deal. Can't have too much depth I suppose.

I played some MLB 07 The Show on my PS2 the other day. Good memories.

All true. But unlike a few teams that are in for lengthy rebuilds (Pirates, Mets), there is a ton to look forward to with the Royals.

Give it 3 years. If even half of Moustakas/Hosmer/Myers/Lamb/Montgomery/Jeffress/Colon pan out, that is a solid foundation.

As cool as this season has been and as impressive as the Sixers have been, this team has absolutely no clue how to play in a close game. None.

And another trade.... Blackhawks trade Jack Skille, David Pacan, and Hugh Jessiman to Panthers for Alexander Frolik and Alexander Salak.

Wow, fight night in Boston. Price and Thomas go! Next round: ECN vs. Universe.

Word is that the Phillies called the Rangers to "kick the tires" on Michael Young, but talks are likely not going anywhere. This is very intriguing either way.

Pitchers and catchers less than a week away. So I figure it's a good time to get the new thread rolling. So let's get this stickied and the old thread unstickied. Hooray baseball.

And a 4 game suspension for Matt Cooke. Well deserved.

Leafs trade Francois Beauchemin to Ducks for Joffrey Lupul, Jake Gardiner, and a 2013 draft pick. Gah, you just had to make your way back east, didn't you Joffrey?

LOL a Darius Songaila sighting! The Nut House!! http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/philsphan1210/IMG_20110128_185217.jpg
