Great couple of games this weekend. I was especially impressed with the way they controlled the puck in both games. I don't know where that has been most of the season but it was great to see them making some great passes and centering the puck. I don't know the actual stats but it honestly felt like they controlled the puck 75% of the game on Friday and over 60% on Saturday. Anyway, if they can keep this play up the rest of the year they will be just fine.

Went and picked up my tickets today, and even after the tough weekend I am really excited for the home season to start. A couple things that I personally look forward to this season are: 1. The Fans-for those of you who have never had the chance to get to the Kohl Center to see a game in person, it is a MUST. Even the casual sports fan can appreciate the atmosphere. For my money I go to a Badger hockey game over a basketball or even football game any day. 2. My cousin Eric Springer will be playing for the badgers this upcoming year. I really doubt he sees a whole lot of ice time, but either way its exciting to see a family member out there. 3. I really think that some of these new kids, based on Junior Hockey results, and random scraps of info I have on them, have a bit more attitude and spunk than the last few classes to come through. I can see a lot more aggressive style of play, and we will shy away from the "dump and chase" style as start to be a lot more active in seeking one on one match ups. With this, don't be surprised to see everyone's favorite...more fights. I personally can't wait until the North Dakota series.

Am I allowed to say that I am in an iPhone commercial now? That ball landed about 10 feet from me, so I vote yes. Either way, very cool.

This is complete hearsay, but I was told that the incident occurred on the band's trip to the Michigan game last week. On the bus some of the new band members were forced to drink and girls were forced to kiss each other. I was told there were a couple other things too, but they slipped my mind right now. Hopefully that is just a rumor, but if its not they definitely deserve to be suspended. The game definitely was not the same with out them last night though.

I know you all don't need another reason to cheer for the Crew right now, but I was lucky enough to win the lottery and get the chance to purchase tickets. I know I rarely ever post on here, but I was just so excited that I had to tell someone!

I cannot guarentee that there will be any spots availible but on the back side of the Kohl center there is a small parking lot that is free to park in. I don't know how to give you directions to it, or if it helps at all, but its near Francis Street.

hey jason, i'm right here in ******on and if you ever need anyone just give me a call, i might have to work but i'd love to play with you. Just give me a call at 9208410819 or PM me when you need me.

In my opinion, for whats it worth, i really don't think we should be discussing the "what if's" of what happened, or making any assumptions as to what happened, until we know every detail for sure. Right now, those who are wrestling fans, and those who are not, should focus on the loss of life of Chris Benoit's wife and son, mourn that and appreciate the lives we have. Lets save the its steroids fault, or its the WWF's fault stuff for later. We'll have plenty of time to worry about it then. Either way though, im sure we can agree that whatever Chris Benoit did, for whatever reason is just sick and tragic.

I work on small engines in the summer and when I get something like that come in the shop, I usually let out a few 4-letter words. Haha, unless you got a friend who really knows what he's doing for cheap, you are definitely best off just getting a new mower. Once your engine problems become that internal its a major headache and the likelyhood of the exact same thing happening again once you do fix it is exponentially greater. Sorry to hear that though. Best of luck.

I really believe that if any deal gets done with Tampa, Al Reyes will be a part of it. As the Rays try to get younger and younger I really believe that a guy like Reyes can be gotten cheap. Maybe and Aquino and Cappelan, Graffy and APTBNL for Reyes and Wigginton. I don't quite now how the salaries work out, or if that even makese sense, but I really believe that Reyes could help our pen. The Rays get the young pitchers with upside and we get a good bat and a solid reliever to bolter are pen for the stretch this year. Just a thought, my first semi-trade idea, so don't laugh at me too much.

It's so frusterating when the worst possible situation occurs just as you feared. In reality though, that inning could have been worse.

I noticed that too. I don't think its really that big of a deal. Unlike Nomar it doesn't take him 20 minutes in between pitches to do. I also noticed that between every pitch in the field he takes his glove off, don't really know what to make of that?

Putting a Gwynn back in San Deigo would be a huge PR move too, something to consider, ticket sales for San Deigo and money generated (i dont know exactly how much or what would happen) but it may be something to consider.

Hall dove at the ball, but wasnt' even close, it would have been best for him to just stay up and play it off the wall. I'll take credit for beign a TGJ fan from the beginning!

yeah, i've been on there quite a bit checking but, i really can't afford to buy a bunch of tickets for down on the field. I Want to celebrate making it out of college alive, so if anyone sees anything please let me know.
