Needless to say, the Canuckle Balls will be back to defend the title.

Thanks for setting things up King!

So Peter Chiarelli finally got shit canned in Edmonton. Small wonder. How about these doozies: 1st and 2nd rounder to Islanders for Griffin Reinhart. Those picks turned into Barzal and Beauvillier for the Isles. Jordan Eberle for Ryan Strome; Ryan Strome for Ryan Spooner; Spooner waived to AHL this ...

Mean Gene died.

A part of our childhood. LEGEND. As important to the era as Hogan, Piper, and Macho Man.

RIP

Word circulating that Larry "The Axe" Hennig passed away today.

He made it to 82. Don't see that too much these days, re ex-pro wrestlers.

Congratulations WOLF! Dominant from the All-Star break and now a sixth championship in 13 seasons. Definitely the Dynasty of Sludge Baseball! After a brutal first few weeks of the season, I was happy to wind up with a third straight top-3 finish, but it never seemed like my team could put it all to...

The return is not great. Ottawa a complete mess at the moment.

Return not great, but at least it's something, which is more than what the Islanders got for Tavares.

Lesson: if you can't sign your impending UFA shortly after July 1, TRADE HIM.

Playoff time! Good luck gentlemen.

Playoff spot clinched!

It's just about time for my team to fall off a cliff and ckoke to death.

The original Hart Foundation is probably my favourite tag team of all time. LOVED the Anvil. May he RIP.

Tough last couple of weeks for the wrestling world.

My hitters are 1/21 today, with a .048 OBP - how is that even possible?!

Great memories of Volkoff/Sheik with Blassie in their corner vs the US Express. By all accounts a great guy. RIP

I had heard of Brickhouse Brown, but don’t think I ever saw him wrestle. RIP

I feel terrible for Jerry Lawler. Brian was clearly a troubled guy. So sad to go so young. RIP as well.

Montreal, Toronto, and BC aren't the attendance cash cows of the league - particularly early in the season. Too much to do in world class cities, as opposed to the Reginas and Hamiltons of the league. I was an Alouettes season ticket holder for years. However, the on field product has declined so m...

Fair point King!

Now onto practical matters....

If anyone is looking to upgrade at SS, let me know. I have Elvis Andrus coming off the DL, and Brandon Crawford who's been on fire for months. I would part with either for a solid SP, sure thing RP, or maybe an upgrade elsewhere.

What does this say about the NHL as a whole? It says it's eons ahead of the NBA, in terms of being a team game. In the other sports (read: NBA) the team with the biggest star wins 99% of the time.

Caps one win away from the cup! I have a feeling they'll take it easily here. Vegas had a nice run for an inaugural season, but I think it'll take a miracle for them to come back now. I don't think Vegas will come back. Ovie and crew are determined to end their curse, BUT if Vegas can win at home t...

Either team winning will make for a good story.

I'm routing for Ovi, but somehow can't see Vegas not finishing the job.

Disney-esque ending... Vegas in 7. They win it at home and the party rages for days!

Vegas one win from the finals! 8) What does this say about the NHL as a whole? It says it's eons ahead of the NBA, in terms of being a team game.

This crowd is crazy tonight. I love hearing Owens and Zayn get such humongous cheers. I really hope they have Elias win Money In The Bank this Summer. He seems like the perfect candidate for it. I was there tonight and will be back at Smackdown tomorrow. Crowd was definitely hot. Owens and Zayn are...

I'm going to Raw and Smackdown Monday and Tuesday in Montreal. Wondering if the whole roster is going to be fried from the Saudi trip and party on the plane home.

Vegas sweep the Kings! Why do I keep underestimating the Golden Knights. Go Gallant, Smith, and Marchessault! Hope they win it all. 8) I know. Me too. I had a hot Kings team down the stretch winning that series. Not even close! Gotta give Gallant credit. The team had favourable expansion rules, but...

Live draft was awesome. Took no time and no more bitching that "the system took this guy before that guy". If I suck, it will be my own fault!

Getting close to opening day.

When are we drafting live or auto-drafting?

Are all teams set?

I'm in - Canuckle Balls.

I'm up for a live draft, dates are always hard to nail down but I'd do my best to attend.

As for an extra batting stat, I looked at the list, and all I see that we could use is:

Batting Average (which we use to use)
Hits
Slugging

If you watch hockey for the fights, you don’t like hockey. Physicality, with a purpose, is fine. A guy should not have to answer the bell for delivering a clean hit though. Two warriors, truly frustrated with each other, spontaneously dropping the gloves is fine too. Example Iginla/Lecavalier in 200...

I’m in. I did get an email yesterday, from Yahoo, so all should be good. I’ll PM you - King - if I can’t get signed up.., Thanks.

I read Walker is blaming Coors Field for holding him back from being a HOFer...........HUM....... He was on the radio here talking about it. Some voters have said his stats, and others', are inflated because they played at Coors Field, and for that reason they will not vote for him. Walker said he ...

SuperHero Movie 2008 - Just watched 10 minutes of this spoof, I must be the last one to have seen it.... I clicked over as Professor X is walking dragonflly boy around the school for the gifted and..."OMG is that?".."Yup, when he came to this school he was 130lbs" RAWRRRRRRRRRRR...

I was hoping Vlad would go in as an Expo. That's the fist thing I noticed, you could blame Selig more then Vlad IMO. What would have happened if Selig didn't cancel the 94 WS or destroy the team? Hall Of Famer Selig! The Expos.......Gutted The Astors....Welcome to the AL I'm bumping my old team to ...
