The Penguins completely dominated Ottawa from puck drop today in a commanding 7-0 victory. Pittsburgh looked like last year's team with the way they dominated in the offensive zone, at one point keeping the puck in the Senator's zone for a full 2 minutes!! The defense looked good and didn't...

I nominate BYU's Eric Mika for the dumbest decision regarding the draft this year. He declared for the draft, and opted not to return to BYU, which would've likely made the tourney with him coming back. He's a good player, but still needs a TON of work. No mock draft I've seen has him getting...

That's exactly why I love to follow college basketball. It's a much better watch, and with more teams, you're able to pick and choose to watch the white players. There are always a few friendly white teams that are cheered for here. Iowa, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Butler, Davidson, Duke (some...

I've got a wide range of sports interests, but my favorites would have to be: NFL and college football (even though it's been getting worse, but with NE, GB, and McCaffrey, it should keep the NFL interesting for me), college basketball and NHL, as well as international soccer and golf. I now...

Welcome to the boards, Euroball!! Anyways, I completely agree with your post. I often find myself hoping the Spurs win, as they're one of the last remaining teams in the NBA to play this style of basketball, and it is pretty fun to watch. The usually have a few white contributors as well...

Definitely!! I thought it was a pretty good game, with Nashville coming out 3-1 winners in Anaheim. Very impressive considering their recent injuries. Rinne is on fire, and the Predators' defense is one of the best in the NHL, and the best remaining in the playoffs. Of course, Subban gets way...

It's been a pretty stark contrast between the NHL and NBA playoffs thus far. The NBA playoffs have been filled with a lot of blowouts. Look at the conference finals, they are absolutely pathetic. Granted, Leonard getting hurt has destroyed San Antonio's remote chances, but it's disgraceful when...

Some bad news for Nashville as Ryan Johansen is out for the rest of the playoffs. Johansen has been one of the Predator's best players this postseason, so it's a huge loss for them. Big opportunity for Anaheim at home today.

Great bounce back win for Pittsburgh last night!! After getting thoroughly outplayed in Game 3, Mike Sullivan made a gutsy move and reinserted Murray into the starting lineup, and boy did it pay off!! Murray was great for the most part in Pittsburgh's 3-2 win, making a lot of key saves...

Some good news on the injury front: Schultz, Hornqvist and Rust are day-to-day and are going to Ottawa. One of these games, those post shots have to start going in. Game 3 of Anaheim/Nashville on tonight.

Great win for the Penguins tonight, a 1-0 victory to even up the series. Pittsburgh looked a lot better tonight, dominating Ottawa in terms of puck possession. At one point, Ottawa went something like 15 minutes without a shot on goal. Unfortunately, it looks like Rust and Schultz will be out...

Well, Pittsburgh loses Game 1, 2-1. I guess I kind of expected a bit of a letdown after an emotional win over a rival and the change of going from the Caps to Ottawa's trap system. It looks like I was right, as the Pens looked pretty lethargic. Despite this, it was two mistakes by Pittsburgh's...

Unfortunately, Nashville won in OT last night, 3-2. Rinne was good like usual. From the parts of the game I was able to watch, I didn't think Subban made many big plays; at least, the announcers didn't mention him too much. Maybe I just missed his ice time, but I heard a lot more of fellow...

First game of Nashiville Anaheim tonight in the West. This'll be the first good chance I'll get to watch the Predators. I was reading articles today about Subban, and one of them insinuated that the main reason Nashville has gotten good was because of the Subban-Weber trade. They mentioned how...

I too, was really hoping the Caps wouldn't win the series after that hit on Crosby. The Pens' Game 7 win was extra sweet this year. An interesting stat I saw last night was that the Penguins are now 6-0 all time in road Game 7's, which is VERY impressive. It's the best mark out of any major pro...

Wow! I've never been more happy to be so wrong. After a tough start, Pittsburgh came out and played great. Considering what had happened in the previous games, this was one of the best games I've seen Pittsburgh play, and one of their best games that I've seen. To shut out a team like the...

William and Mary forward Jack Whitman is transferring to Kansas for his grad year!! Wow! I didn't think that would happen. Cullen Neal is transferring to St. Mary's for his last year. In addition to Trevor Anderson, Wisconsin picks up a quality walk-on in SG Walt McGrory, who spurned offers...

It's been a little while since I've posted, but I've managed to find a few more guys to look out for. The first guy is literally a giant. At 7'3, Connor Vannover is a Class of 2018 product that has already gotten offers from schools such as Arkansas and Ole Miss, with interest from Kansas. I...

That was one of the worst Penguins games I've seen in a long time. 8 shots through two periods?? Unacceptable. The offense sucked and the defense turned the puck over and couldn't skate with anybody. The series is effectively over in my opinion. If the Penguins are even competitive in Game 7, it...

Good win for the Capitals in Game 5. Looking forward to what is sure to be a great Game 6 Monday. The Caps have the momentum after Saturday's game, but the Penguins have been great at home so far this postseason, and the Caps have to face a (relatively) healthy Crosby at home on Monday for the...

Crosby is already skating today, so hopefully that's a good sign that he's progressing well from his concussion. It'll be interesting to see what happens in Game 5 Saturday night. I think if Pittsburgh is going to have any chance to win, they need to play better than Wednesday. They had way too...

I couldn't agree more Don!! I've been a Penguins fan for awhile, since before the 2009 Stanley Cup run, and this is one of their better postseason wins in my book. It's great to see Fleury (thus far) channeling his 2008-2009 form and putting the team on his shoulders with Crosby, Letang and...

And yet, neither Niskanen nor Ovechkin got a suspension hearing from the NHL at all. Obivously, I'm a bit biased, but I thought it was a bit weird that Washington suddenly decides to dress 7 defensemen for the game, and then have Crosby get taken out like that and Niskanen ejected. Now, I know...

Well, the Capitals are right back in the series, winning Game 3 in Pittsburgh. There has been a lot of controversy regarding an Ovechkin slash and a Niskanen hit on Sidney Crosby. Crosby (and Conor Sheary) now has a concussion (which is bad, given his history) and will be out for at least Game...

The contrast between the NHL and NBA is striking. There is a lot more parity in the NHL, resulting in a LOT of interesting 1st round series. I mean, just this year, the Predators upset the No.1 seed Blackhawks in the West. I mean, look at the 8 seeds in the NBA... they're garbage for the most...
