Good Times Grimes

Cam Schwab was probably holding off until a deal came around with a company that had a good logo. B)

Any idea of the $$$?

Haha schadenfreude is part of being a Leafs fan. Well aware that we're crap, and the joys that we do get are seeing other teams fail as well. I'm a fan of upsets though. If the Leafs aren't in I go for the underdogs. And anyone playing Ottawa.

Very exciting. I can really think of only one thing that it could be: BoJ.

Sharks lost 3-1 tonight and are out. Washington beat Boston to take a 3-2 lead, and Ottawa is on the verge of knocking out the Rangers after winning 3-2 on the road. Florida beat New Jersey 3-0 and are one win away from the conference semi-finals. Game 5 of Chicago and PHX has just started. It would be interesting if neither Vancouver or Boston made it past the first round of the playoffs. I wonder when the last time was that neither of the previous year's finalists advanced past Round 1.

Amazing! A 30 year old with a record of 11-10 prior to today, and owned in less than 2% of all fantasy leagues. Can't imagine anyone would ever have picked him to do that!

I completely agree with you. Although Sylvia hasn't and may never live up to the potential we saw when we drafted him at #3 it doesn't mean that he isn't a valuable player to our team.

You'll find that in all sports. There are always calls that are open to interpretation and unless everything is video reviewed there will always be an element of human error. Poor officiating frustrates me just as much as it frustrates the next person (unless it's in favour of the Mighty Dees), but it is something that you have to live with because it is very difficult for umpires to catch everything.

The Blue Jays turned their first triple play in 33 years last night against the KC Royals. The first I've ever seen; pretty exciting stuff.

Ugh don't tell me you're a fan of crybaby Crosby! On another note: Lidstrom may have played his final game after the Predators eliminated the Wings last night. St Louis could finish off San Jose tonight in Game 5 while Phoenix could eliminate Chicago. Does anyone have any thoughts on Raffi Torres' 25 game suspension? Here's a video for those who haven't seen the incident:

Hopefully he's good enough. Viney with the grunt, Stretch with the class. Can't wait until they're in their prime in 2020....

The Bulldogs backline might have their hands full this weekend. Kick a bag, Mitch!

Yes, but I'd like to see Petterd actually playing. I'm a big fan of his and just can't understand why he is always the first one dropped after a poor team performance. He has shown that he can be a very dangerous player.

Good to see Lawrence and Williams with 3 each. One would think that if Lawrence can't push for senior selection in 2012 he'd be done at the MFC.

IMO the underdog is the winner in a draw. We were the winners when we drew Collingwood on the Queen's Birthday in 2010 simply because most were expecting us to walk away with nothing.

WCE are looking very good so far. Wouldn't be surprised to see them win it all.

Haha yeah I was a bit confused. Interesting idea though.

That's the big ask, and hopefully what all of this off field action is leading towards.

Trenners at FB? Much prefer him in the midfield. He's not big enough to be a FB. He would get dominated by the Riewoldts, Clokes, Waites, Hurleys, Goodeses, Tippetts...need I go on?

I like the idea of him giving insight into players Melbourne are looking to draft. Could be a very useful recruiting tool that we have available to us that not many other clubs would have.

Yep, lot's of unlucky/bad mistakes. My personal favourite is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PAQQyNw1lg

If Moloney comes back in you'd have to go with Jamar in the ruck at least for the first little while to see if they can regain some of their form from the last couple of seasons. Try Fitz up forward for a bit and he and Jamar can switch it up when Jamar needs a rest, etc. Also is it just me or does Fitzy look like a baby giraffe learning to walk?

Big night tonight. Canucks win to stay alive. Series now 3-1 for L.A. and heading back to Vancouver for Game 5. Senators win 3-2 in overtime. Series is now 2-2 heading back to New York. Pittsburgh thumps the Flyers 10-3 to make the series 3-1 in Philadelphia's favour. Heading back to Pittsburgh for Game 5. The other series are: St Louis leading San Jose 2-1. Game 4 in the Shark Tank tomorrow. Phoenix leading Chicago 2-1. Game 4 in Chicago tomorrow. Nashville leading Detroit 3-1 with a chance to win the series on Friday at home. Reigning champion Boston leading 2-1 over Washington with Game 4 in Washington tomorrow night. Finally, Florida and New Jersey (probably the least eventful of all so far) NJ have a chance to tie the series at 2 at home tomorrow night. My picks for the winners of this round (I know it's a bit late but I'll do it at the start of Round 2) L.A Kings New York Rangers Philadelphia Flyers St Louis Blues Chicago Blackhawks Nashville Predators Boston Bruins Florida Panthers

People aren't being forced to go and pray in these rooms. I will not be making use of them, but I see absolutely no problems with the AFL introducing this.

I think if he is convicted he will get jail time, but that is a discussion for another thread. I would be very upset to see him go.
