Winston Legthigh

Why do you say 'irresponsible?' I think it's creative...

Well, he's only 30, so I'm sure he'll play at least 8 more years. I think it's structured to be front-loaded, but the overall hit to their cap # is $5m, which is the average yearly salary of his contract. It's a relative bargain for the Hawks. Now if they could only get rid of Campbell, who is making WAY too much, they might have money to re-sign both Kane and Toews, both of whom will be RFAs after next season. They have a lot of good young players who will be asking for big raises.

Blackhawks! Hossa! I wish you the best. (and Tomas Kopecky...)

Sorry - I shouldn't rain on your parade... Of course, there are many players who are shorties that have been successful in the NHL: Ted Lindsay, Theoren Fleury, Martin St. Louis...

I still get a kick that Tuddy from Goodfellas was his manager. I saw him on the news Monday morning, talking about MJ's death - I kept waiting for him to say "we wasted SIX fucking towels on this guy. We gotta toughen this kid up!"

I for one, did not. But I would suppose that time travel would have to be possible to make sense out of any other statement you've made. You do realize that futures and options have been around for thousands of years, yes?

At 5'8" I hope he's a better skater than that! I wouldn't hold out hope for him. Flyers bet the farm on Pronger - they want to win next year.

I used to love these guys as a kid. Also Shields and Yarnell! (They even had their own variety show!) Back then my two favorite shows were Shields and Yarnell, and Sha-na-na.

I agree with many already mentioned. A few I'd add: Los Lobos - Town and the City Gorillaz - Demon Dayz No Doubt - Rock Steady Black Keys - Rubber Factory The Hives - Veni Vidi Vicious

Congrats to the award winners! Hart and Pearson: Ovechkin Selke and Lady Byng: Datsyuk (first time that a player has one both awards 2 years in a row) Norris: Chara (you were right Walken!) Vezina: Thomas Calder: Mason

from a Patrick-Sharp-delivered spear.

Congrats to the Pens. Their defense played games 6 and 7 masterfully - basically making the Wings offense disappear. Lidstrom! Nutsack surgery was the reason you were out 2 games? Yeouch!

Good news everyone! Looks like comedy central ordered 26 episodes, not 13!

?? So, Zetterberg is the father of both Crosby and the Cup?

Mel Gibson is already denying the shooting ever happened.

One final game for all the marbles... I like it.

Ahh. Nice of the Wings to wait for me to return from my honeymoon to put on a thumping. I've missed 5 games! (series finale against Hawks + first 4 of the finals). The playoffs will end tomorrow! For the Hawks fans:

I didn't catch Friday's game, but finally watched Kronwall's hit on Havlat. I have no idea why he was given a 10 minute misconduct for that - looked like a clean hit. I was expecting a high cross check or something with the stick. It was an iffy interference major as well - the puck was right there... I would be nervous of handing over the fulltime goalie reins to Huet next year... Regarding the NHL being a joke... I just heard that the finals won't start until June 5 because of some deal worked out with NBC. That's ridiculous. There's going to be more than a week off in between the confer

JR's an idiot. (and his name will never be on the Cup) Babcock doesn't play Chelios because Chelios sucks. Even this kid thinks so:

There's only been 2 cup repeats in your lifetime! Parity sucks.

Dude, really? Complaining about reffing AGAIN? Your team had a 5-3 power play. And... check the rules on hooking - there's no mention of where the blade must be pointed in order to call the penalty.

Hawks were definitely making me nervous last night. But, anything less than winning the next 2 at home will make things very hard on them. And even then, they have to win the next 4 out of 5...

Dontrelle!

Best MNF Combo: Don Meredith, Alex Karras, Howard Cosell. Oops - looks like Karras and Meredith never worked together... Jesse Ventura was an awesome local color commentator for the Viqueens back in the day.

WAY faster.
