sweep the leg

I wanted to post that Yakupov stat about his hot end to his rookie season, but I didn't have enough time last night to find the actual numbers. I just remembered he had a crazy finish to an otherwise forgettable season, and hasn't come close to doing it again.

Using avg. goals per game to account for the difference in games played, there was only 10 goals difference between Eakins' first season and the season before he was hired.

Darren Dreger just reported that the Oilers have put Taylor Hall on the trade market. As an owner of Hall in two fantasy leagues, I really hope it's true.

They have a terrible defense that can't move the puck up to them. Look at the Avs. They're flooded with offensive talent up front but are in the bottom 1/3 in GF. It's because they also have a terrible defense. Not as bad as the Oilers, but still pretty bad.

I found this interesting in relation to our dc situation; Buono brought Mark Washington with him to meet Tedford to talk about the Lions' HC job. Sitting in on HC interviews certainly makes it seem like he's in their future plans.

That organization is an embarassment. Their owner is a fan of the team hiring all of his childhood heroes to run it. It's insane that Lowe still has a job. They need to expand their hiring criteria from just being a former Oiler. Firing Ralph Kruger was a giant mistake.

Was the company called Winnipeg Health Systems? http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/winnipeggers-get-vacuum-sales-pitch-after-doing-health-survey-1.1307286 I got that survey call as well.When they called back to tell me I won a prize for doing it, I was a little skeptical. When they told me the options were a travel voucher or a Slapchop, I was pretty certain something was wrong. I asked them to call back later and googled them. That's how I found this story about them. *if you don't want to follow the link, it's a ploy to get a salesman in your house for a vacuum sales pitch. To get your prize you have to give them $50 and your credit card info.

We've gotten a few calls from "Microsoft" telling us there's a problem with our computer. They want us to turn on our computer and they'll walk us through how to "fix" it.

It might be time for some to realize this is a free world and if one does not go to a game because or whatever that's his/her choice and I fail to see the right you might have to call them on it. Wouldn't it being a free world give him the right?

You don't think it would have hit the news if those guys had been fired?

I didn't know there was such a thing as head and neck cancer. Regardless, congratulations on beating it!

What are the chances Stanley Bryant leaves the Stamps? He and Heenan bookending our OL would be a moderate upgrade.

If Eppele wanted to give it another try and would sign for no money upfront I'd give him a look.

Give Etch their DL to work with and our D would have looked much better. Except Etch doesn't want big guys. He wants small versatile guys, so he wouldn't even want them. Our lines were virtually the same size. Chick is 250, Foley 256, & George is 277 at DT. That's almost identical size to Peach, Vega, & Bryant.

Other than a core of complainers here that I've read the fanbase in general is staying patient.

The most recent stuff I've read says he'll fight at 185. I don't think he stands a chance against anybody currently on the UFC roster, but I've obviously never seen him fight (b/c he hasn't), so I can't say for sure.

Many experts were wrong. He's not good enough to play at the top of our lineup and isn't suited to play a role at the bottom. If he's not scoring he's pretty much useless. IMO he's a guy who could dominate at the AHL level, but will never amount to much in the NHL.

How about giving the Buff trade thing a rest for awhile?Calm down. Someone mentioned trades and I replied. Take a deep breath and relax. nah...I'm calm...by the way...Buff's not going anywhere. CALM DOWN!!!!

And that's how valuable he is. Remember the hype for this guy when he first came over from Europe?

That's an interesting one. Taman's history shows he doesn't like to pay for backup qbs. It's burned him twice now, so maybe he's learned his lesson.

I think Montreal. They'll need an experienced guy to push Crompton.

I'm suprised by this too. I thought he'd be pretty eager to get back to the NFL.

Farhan Laljhi was just on TSN1290. He said he can't see any way Cortez works in BC this year. He also thought it would be a mistake for the Bombers to bring him in. He thinks Cortez is hard to work with and wouldn't fit in well. He said he'd keep MB, unless we're absolutely sure we can upgrade. He also said he thinks the Bombers have contacted Benevedes about being our DC. He said three teams have called him and he's pretty sure the Bombers were one of those teams. He thinks Etch will be out and MB stays.
