Al Yellon and George Castle?

This is a veritable sports publishing juggernaut.

Wonder if Herr Yellon has read enough SCH to know that from time to time they have to call out their readers and commenters to prevent their site from turning into BCB?

IIRC, he's read enough to tattle to SCH's superiors about a bit of bad-mouthing he once received at the hands of Fork and McClure.

That first comment about says it all, no?

About Al or about Chuck?

Nice article here:

http://www.broadstreethockey.com/2010/6/7/1503290/comparing-james-van-riemsdyk-to#storyjump

While the focus is obviously VanRiemsdyk, it just underscores how good a pick Patrick Kane was.  At the time, he was not considered the slam dunk No. 1 pick, mostly because of his size.  In retrospect, that attitude seems assinine.

His other article today asks if Buff's great game 5 was in part due to Pronger's terrible game. What kind of question is that?

That's chicken and egg shit.

Which is why I didn't link to it.

Yeah but fuck him anyway.

I'm not too big to quote it...

QuoteI mean, think about it.

Okay.

QuoteByfuglien murders Pronger in the corner, but that hit is just a bump if Pronger is on his game.

What does this even mean?

Pronger wouldn't have felt a thing if his deflector shields had been fully operational?

QuoteByfuglien scores a dirty goal in the crease...

I'm not sure he understands what the word "dirty" means. (Or "crease".)

http://blackhawks.nhl.tv/team/console.jsp?hlg=20092010,3,415&event=CHI437

This could explain why he thought it was so strange to see Pronger in the box, though...

Quote...but that's not a goal if Pronger isn't in the box for hooking.

But Pronger was in the box for hooking.

You know... on account of the hooking.

There's the rub.

When Buff destroyed I think Timonen and took O'Halloran with him, I don't think he did the Hawks any favors for game 6.

Won't it be back to Walkom and Sutherland for Game 6? Then McCreary and O'Halloran for Game 7?

Aside from getting straight up laid out by Buff a couple times, Old Man Pronger was on the ice for every Hawks goal (with the exception of the PP goal during his penalty) and for none of the Flyer goals.

Pronger was a minus-5, I believe.

More amazingly, he was finally called for a cross-check.

He was -5 because power play goals don't count towards plus-minus.

And he was called for hooking. His cross-checking immunity remains in effect.

According to the Score's morning show, Pronger has never posted a -5 in a single game during his career.

History will be made.

Yeah but the SCORE told me Pronger was off the ice for cross-checking, conflicting with my memory of it being hooking, so that might not be correct.

QuoteWithout hyperbole, this was the worst game of Chris Pronger's career.

...

His minus-5 rating was literally the worst finish he ever posted in his 1,273 career games between the regular season and playoffs. Just one shot. Only three hits -- even Toews had two. One giveaway, no takeaways. It's no wonder that Peter Laviolette didn't use him much at the start of the third period.

We need a new thread where the gutless slapdicks on this board who choose "alternate" teams can cheer them on all summer.

IAN's got his beloved Cardinals and Pen, his heroic Tigers. Many of you have already hopped on CFIHP's Twins wagon, too.

SKO's got his Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Desipio europansies have World Cup Turf Diving.

Me, I've been leaning pretty hard on the Hawks. But their march to the Cup comes to an end this week.

So who else you got?

Fuck off, douchebag.

And that's why you don't wait until there are 8 minutes left in the third to make a game of it.
