Doesn't Hossa disappear during the playoffs? And if offense really the issue the Pens needed to address? They paid a high price considering those questions. Has Forsberg really helped anyone lately? I remember dreading his move to Philly, but they ended up picking 3rd in the draft. I still consider him one of the best players of the last decade, but he hasn't live up to hype following his last few moves. For those that haven't seen it, here is Cliff Fletcher giving his players both barrels as he recaps the deadline from the Leaf front office perspective. His response to the McCabe question is particularly pointed. I'm glad the Rangers didn't part with any of their needed youth. That's the most important thing to me. Montoya was obviously expendable, and apparently hadn't been playing too well anyway. And The Other Hossa's upside is limited. No real loss there. I like picking up a draft pick and Sjostrom seems like he has decent potential. Christian Backman, on the other hand, I'm worried about. Defensemen with size who hate body contact don't do well in MSG (see Poti, Tom & Malik, Marek). Ugh.

The one constant through all the years, rcade, has been SportsFilter. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But SportsFilter has marked the time. This site, this "community": it's a part of our past, rcade. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... people will come rcade. People will most definitely come.

garfield, if it's all the same, I'll just lay all the blame with Samsonov14 and let him do the apologizing. Sammy got me here too so it's his fault anyway. I still wish I had user #86, but alas my three-digit gold-piece will have to suffice.

It's not authoritative, but a game recap of the 1981 AFC Divisional Playoff Game (Miami vs. San Diego) shows a Hook and Lateral play from Strock to Harris to Nathan as a 40 yard pass from Strock. Again, it's not "official", but I'd guess the answer to your first question is "Yes".

It happened in the top of the 8th in this game. Posada was struck by a batted ball from Cairo.

Who gets the putout when a batted ball hits a runner? Everything I find seems to indicate that the putout is credited to the nearest fielder, but none of this is from solid sources.

Well, another brilliant idea is ruined, but thanks for the help. I appreciate it. And yeah, do tell about the Keith Hernandez thing.

Runner on third, slugger at the plate. You choose to walk the slugger. Now, I'm wondering why the manager doesn't have an outfielder (or someone) come in and stand near the back-stop behind the catcher while they are intentionally walking the guy. While it might be overkill in June, it seems like a prudent thing to do during the post-season. After all, we've seen wild pitches during intentional walks before. And with the tying/go-ahead run 90 feet away, and the season hanging in the balance, I don't see any reason not to protect against the possibility.

I don't participate in these things because I don't know nothing about no music. That said, I'm curious... What's the best song/artist/whatever you've been introduced to via one of these swaps? Do you think you would have found it/them/him/her/whatever otherwise? Again, just curious.

qbert, Staal had a great year and he may win a Hart down the road, but I think he's just a tick or two below this time around. There is no shame in where he ended up though... A break-out year for sure.

I stated very plainly that a case can be made for Joe or JJ. Either can win it and I'll be perfectly pleased. I'm rooting for Jaromir, but it would be far from a travesty if he didn't get it. Trust me, I understand that the Sharks were bad before Thornton, but the fact is the Rangers would have been a signifcant magnitude worse than the pre-Joe Sharks if they didn't have Jagr. Thornton's big advantage seems to be that he can prove how much of a difference he made. And for the record, I think Thornton will win the Hart for that exact reason.
posted by 86 at 04:18 PM on April 28, 2006
I'm a homer, but I think Jagr deserves the Hart. Thorton's second-half was fantastic, but the Sharks were pre-season playoff contenders and still could have made a run at the post-season without him. Without Jagr the Rangers would be drafting in the top 3 this year. He took a 25-win team on his back and carried them to the playoffs. In the end, be it Jagr or Thornton, the winner deserves it.
posted by 86 at 02:21 PM on April 28, 2006
garfield, there was more to the story. The game after covering Jagr, Axelsson shut out Ovechkin. And the next game he kept Kovalchuk to a single assist (and scored the game-winner).

"Jagr is a Tranny" is hilarious. And Samsonov, she did get me tix for the game on Wednesday. That counts for something.

From what I know, Weedy and garfield are still going. It was my responsibility to get tickets for Sammy and myself, but I never did. I had to shell out a lot of dough for other things recently and it didn't fit in the budget. Anyway, I hope the rest of you fools get together and maybe (just maybe) I can make it in for some pre/post game bevery. If that becomes possible, I'll get in touch with garfield. Go Rangers.

Logjam for President's Trophy
I'm more confused than when I started, but...
The Bruins and Sharks can end with 119 points and 54 wins if they go 3-0-1 and 2-1 respectively. If the Wings win out, they'd end up with 117 points and 54 wins which means they'd get third place.
The Bruins and Sharks have the same number of wins, so they'd move to the second tie-breaker.
Since they have only played once, the second tie-breaker can't be used, so they'd move to the third tie-breaker.
And on that front, the Bruins have a +79 goal differential while the Sharks have a +56 goal differential.
By my read, if it worked the way you have it written up, the B's win the President's Trophy.
But remember, I'm kinda drunk.
