How sick would it be if he goes to Chicago and the WCF is Canucks vs. Blackhawks.


The only problem for Vancouver is they need to get someone good enough to back up Schneider. You figure if Luongo gets traded they'll have to get someone in return so if he goes to Chicago you'd think they'd get Emery or something?

Rumors are Toronto is trying HARD to get him but Luongo doesn't really want to go there.

Even if Luongo does go to the Leafs, it won't matter. They'll simply miss the playoffs again.

Now with Jamie McGinn signed, the only player not under contract is Ryan O'Reilly. The leading point scoring with 55. (Yes, our offense was terrible).

Rick Nash to the Rangers seems pretty much done, unsure of the details at this moment though.

Rangers get Rick Nash, give up Anisimov, Dubinsky, Erixon, and a 1st.

Terrible return for Columbus, IMO. No surprise that franchise hasn't done anything with Howson at the helm.

Erixon is really the only player that's worth a shit... and he's an unproven prospect. Nicely done, Sather.

Kovalchuk and Nash started their careers together didn't they (same year I mean). Now in the same division.

Too bad for Nash he's on a team that can never live up to the hype.

They surpassed the hype last year. Who expected the Rangers to finish 1st in the conference and be in the ECF?

Sounds like you're mad that the Rangers got Nash, Ricky. :troll:

You were a 1 seed and lost in the ECF...so yeah. Not to mention I heard so many Ranger fans talking about how underrated the team was as a #1 seed.

And I'm not mad, like I said it's a team that always fails and chokes so having Nash won't change that.

No shit, sherlock. I'm talking about the expectations they had going into last season. Their ceiling was about 5th seed/2nd round. They surpassed whatever ''hype'' was put on them last season.

This Rangers team is a extremely young talented core that got 20 postseason games under their belt this past season. With that experience and adding Nash, I'd say their right on the cusp of being a legitimate Cup contender. Just don't be surprised if they follow the same route that the Blackhawks took a couple of years ago... and that's losing in the conference final and hoisting the Cup the following year.

Good luck to the Devils with the amount of aging players they have. :laugh:

The Rangers now have the best line in the NHL: Nash---RIchards-----Gabo--Oh wait, nevermind...Gaborik sucks lol.

Rangers fans have to be feeling pretty good after this deal. You didn't lose too much and you got that offensive presence you were so dearly missing this season. I'm sure when I get back on campus this fall the same Rangers fans that were talking shit to me pre-playoffs this past season will be right back at it. Unfortunately the past semester ended before the Devils sent the Rangers from the playoffs to Golf Pro stores so I couldn't dish it back.

Oh and we'll be just fine, Phil. Scott Stevens is now on our coaching staff so he'll be shaping up our defenseman to make hits like this:

Finally, some comeback magic for the Phillies. In other news, a little over 48 hours until Shea Weber becomes a Philadelphia Flyer.


:rofl:

Not a problem. Once the lockout starts and Nashville goes bankrupt for owing so much dead money to Weber, they'll regret it. In the meantime, the Flyers have a lot of cap space to play with i.e. make a trade for Bobby Ryan. :yep:

Carolina signed former Washington Capital Alexander Semin to a one-year deal.

Sums up my thoughts. I wouldn't have minded the Flyers taking a chance on him, but only for around 4-5 million.

Mathias  : (22 May 2013 - 01:21 PM) 2 FIRST INNING MAMMOTH HOMERUNS FOR THE RANGERS!!
Mathias  : (22 May 2013 - 01:21 PM) BANGBANGBANGBANG!!!!!!
Mathias  : (22 May 2013 - 01:22 PM) Fucking choker A's. Can't even sweep. :laugh:
JetsFan4Life  : (22 May 2013 - 01:23 PM) I was about to say haven't the A's been smacking the Rangers?
Mathias  : (22 May 2013 - 01:24 PM) They've been playing us like it's the World Series.
Mathias  : (22 May 2013 - 01:24 PM) Don't blame them. We're the best in the league.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:25 PM) I think the entire Braves team should be tested for steroids. Evan Gattis... guilty. Justin Upton... guilty. Dan Uggla... not guilty, so Trident can complain about him even though he's a top 10 2B in MLB. :smug:
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:25 PM) :troll:
JetsFan4Life  : (22 May 2013 - 01:26 PM) I think the Twins should be tested on if they are a real MLB team or not. :p
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:31 PM) Fun fact: Only one second basemen has hit more home runs than Dan Uggla from the start of the 2010 season until now. Robinson Cano.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:32 PM) But by all means, get rid of him. :smug:
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:43 PM) Dan Uggla sucks ass lol
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:44 PM) So being top 10 at your position means you suck?
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:45 PM) Bullshit. lol
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:45 PM) If Dan uggla is the worst player in your lineup, you don't have many problems. And clearly the Braves don't.
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:47 PM) Uggla hasn't had an OPS over .764 since 2010 lol
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:48 PM) rocking a cool .672 OPS this year to go along with a .179 batting average
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:49 PM) But I get it... HE HITZ DA DINGERZ!!!!11
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:50 PM) Sorry to disappoint you, but Uggla's OPS has been in the top 10 among second basemen for years... lmao.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:50 PM) You are the weakest link. Goodbye.
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:51 PM) must be a pretty weak crop of 2nd basemen in the majors right now
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:52 PM) Second base isn't typically a position that features a lot of power hitters.
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:52 PM) really, how many good 2Bs are out there besides Cano, Kinsler, Phillips, Hill, Kipnis, etc?
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:52 PM) Guys like Cano aren't the norm at second base. :nope:
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:53 PM) there really aren't many stars at 2B
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:54 PM) I mean, the A's are still rolling with Adam fucking Rosales who should have been cut like 2 years ago... weak position
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:55 PM) As far as Uggla goes though, I know he's frustrating, but it's not really easy to find someone better than him.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:55 PM) If I were a Braves fan, I'd live with the strikeouts knowing he's gonna probably end the year with around 25 homers. the batting average will come up some.
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:56 PM) well yeah, I can see that
BenJarvus Gr...  : (22 May 2013 - 01:56 PM) but still, it's not like Uggla should be regarded as a great player lol
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:57 PM) he's not a great player anymore, no.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 01:59 PM) but given the weakness of the position, I'd take him over a lot of other guys.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 02:00 PM) The defensive spectrum is: Designated hitter - First baseman - Left fielder - Right fielder - Third baseman - Center fielder - Second baseman - Shortstop - Catcher - Pitcher
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 02:01 PM) As you go from left to right, offense becomes slightly less important and defense becomes slightly more important.
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 02:04 PM) So if you've ever wondered why most of the premiere hitters are corner outfielders, first basemen, and third basemen, there ya go.
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:04 PM) Jedd Gyorko :smug:
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 02:06 PM) he's gonna be a good one
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:06 PM) Playing real well this month
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:07 PM) at least from what i saw in the broadcast last night
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:10 PM) lol Padres only have 4 batters in the top 150 hitters so far
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 02:12 PM) He'll probably end up at third base once headley is gone. I don't think Gyorko has the glove to stick at second base. But if he hits the way he is capable of, you kinda have to forgive his defense.
blotsfan  : (22 May 2013 - 02:12 PM) shouldnt teams on average have 5 batters in the top 15-?
Sarge+  : (22 May 2013 - 02:12 PM) He could definitely be a .300 hitter with at least average power over his career.
blotsfan  : (22 May 2013 - 02:12 PM) *150
blotsfan  : (22 May 2013 - 02:13 PM) or are you talking about top 150 batters in the NL?
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:14 PM) no, all of baseball, yeah if you go by averages but when you look at each of their standings, only 2 are top 100
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:14 PM) Headley at 33 and Cabrera at 89
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:15 PM) Alonso is at 114 and Gyorko barely makes the cut at 148
blotsfan  : (22 May 2013 - 02:16 PM) i dunno, that sounds below average, but probably not the worst
Socal  : (22 May 2013 - 02:17 PM) No, not the worst, if you looked at it last month it probably would have been a lot worse haha
