Gleason and Glencross for Hillen and 2nd/3rd/4th rounders in this year's draft. Not a fan of giving up that many picks this year (although we have an extra 3rd from Buffalo, not sure if Glencross deal involved our 3rd or Buffalo's) to essentially marginally upgrade out 6D spot and get a "Top...

Caps in freefall now. Looked like shit tonight. Rumors though about talks with Chicago for Patrick Sharp. Names on our end that have come up were Marcus Johannson or Joel Ward. Not sure how that will work with the salary cap though since Sharp makes more than either of those guys, although...

I was...expecting more.

Yeah this is how it looked to me, although after reading black/blue the white started to look more blue to me

Somehow after 17 minor penalties in the first 2 periods only Fleury managed to get one in the 3rd. Weird game, you guys deserved it tonight. Favorite part of the game was Eddie O trying to convince people Ward kneed Fleury in the head.

I undersold that...8 PP's total awarded in the 2nd period. I thought refs would be warming up for the playoffs by now. Not to much tonight. Weak calls both ways in that period.

Yup.

Heard Sill going the other way was part of the salary cap concern as well (along with Toronto taking on part of the salary). Didn't take advantage of those power plays. I know they had been on ice a lot but was great to see them pull Ovechkin off for last half of that 3rd PP so Niskanen...

Agent and Sith Warrior were the better 2 stories Imp side. Although I didn't mind Inquis or BH stories they just weren't as solid at all.

See you guys got Winnik, Grimm. I think you guys don't have any picks in first 4 rounds this year...supposed to be a decent draft at least. Don't mind Sill being out of our division.

Or...not

Bit of a lifeline for Arsenal there. Wonder if they have more magic left in them.

To be fair, Aaron Rodgers didn't stop them from going back this year, more MM. Also while I agree Flacco is overpaid and for most of the season the Ravens didn't look like a contender, in the playoffs they beat what had been a red hot Steelers team in Pittsburgh, and had 2 separate 14 point...

Baltimore Ravens cut former Super Bowl hero Jacoby Jones - ESPN Sad day for some of my Baltimore bros

National Hockey League Playoff Chances - Sports Club Stats Top 7 in the East at 99.7% chance to make playoffs or higher. Last Wild Card still in play but the rest are in my definition of locked up.

The problem is how consistent they are about calling PI. If we start putting it up for review, they're going to find all kinds of contact that (by the rulebook at least) technically should get flagged. That said, at times (mostly playoffs) they do a better job being consistent throughout a...

I feel like if we made a rerolled dating website...Furry and Dumar would get matched up instantly. We wouldn't even need to ask why or how.

Would just be weirdly out of character, but hey it's possible. Either way she chose to settle with him (twice I believe since he "violated" original agreement by talking to ESPN about it at one point), so it's done and over with at this point.

I'd probably bet a lot on the teams in 1-7 in the East being the same 1-7 at the end of the year. What order exactly, who know? But I don't see anyone from below 7 moving up into the top 7 unless a pretty big collapse happens. 9 or 10 points is hard to make up in 20-23 games.

Sounds a little fishy to me. Might have just cried enough to get some money.

Just seemed like the Top 8 in the East were all locked in, but their little slip up of late has let Florida and Philly (well outside chance) back in the running.

Hey nice to see them break that...what 5, 6 game losing streak?

Damn another early one today. At least Philly also played yesterday. Gotta keep the ball rolling having won 4 in a row, so of course reports are that Burakovsky is scratched and Jay Beagle is going to be on the top line with Ovechkin in Backstrom. Have to trust in Trotz I guess cause it makes...

All my hockey friends and I were watching live on NBC Sports. You guys miss all the plugs lately?

Grimm looks like Pens found their mojo again. 3-0 up on the Blues. Christ man, there's no gaining ground or separating from anyone at the top of the Metro.

Missed the game due to work, but man I wish we hadn't let the Isles tie it up late. Still gain a point on them but tough to make up any ground on them the way they are playing.

Man Boston is in total freefall at the moment. We actually have a playoff race in the East for the last wildcard. Panthers are gaining, and I guess Philly has an outside shot.

Gotta give the kid credit...pretty accurate throw.

It's almost like Sid doesn't even care

Sorry guys forgot to do all that have had a lot going on. Rags have been killing it so much lately it's sort of fitting anyways. When I heard they dropped a point tonight I just thought "I'll take it". Guys have been nails. Backstom 2+1 tonight, AO 1+1. Backstrom tied with Kane for Art...

' Saw these on Japer's today too. You guys are killing it.

I just don't think any of the guys you named are in the same caliber as Julio Jones/AJ Green/Dez Bryant...to say nothing of the Megatrons of the world. Most of those guys can be very solid receivers at their role, but each has flaws.

Yes either way Madrid would be heavily favored to go through picking up the away goal, but now 2-0 up with 2 away goals in the pocket Schalke is virtually done.

The amount the league has absolutely failed miserably this whole season is just staggering.

And yet Schalke could have equalized towards the end when they hit the bar. 1-1 going back to Madrid would have been miles better than going back down 2-0 (and basically with no chance)

In before Azeth pops in with his related point.

I can sorta buy this. Even as much as lines are valued now, I still think they should be valued even more (assuming deep draft/value for the pick is there). But I think those type receivers (remember too that Bryant was a late 1st round pick due mostly to character concerns) are worth 1sts.

That's just sad if true. Although you'd think the attendant would look for the mark himself but still, selling balls for profit? I guess the NFL needs to give officials a pay raise.

Ronaldo already. Schalke started fairly organized with a few glimpses of offense too.

I assume you're generalizing, but you wouldn't spend a top 10 pick on a Julio Jones or an AJ Green at receiver? Also there are some Tight Ends I think would be worth a late 1st on. Agreed in general though how much focus should be on the lines in top half of the 1st round. Agreed on RB's...
