OUCH!

Threw a fit? The guy who stood and gave Gomez a few words and then TURNED AWAY AND WALKED BACK TO THE MOUND is the guy who threw "a fit." Watch Gomez's PED-sized head explode in a total rage after Cole walks away and then get back to me... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DqG5sixi7R0

I think you are confusing South's Squirt C's with North's Squirt C's...

Great effort by Wayne Simmonds of the Flyers tonight.

This is the same Flyers team that played like the Lakeville South Squirt C team two days ago, right?

I can only imagine Carlos Gomez's reaction to the very same pitcher giving him a "choke" sign or an umpire "punch-out" signal had CG struck out as opposed to hitting a ball off the top of the centerfield wall...I bet it wouldn't have looked any different...

Totally down with that...I would have plunked Carlos right in the butt with a fastball next time up at the plate...

So it's perfectly OK for a hitter to take 40 seconds to round the bases a la David Ortiz, showboat by doing a cocky bat toss, preen to the crowd, pose, or moon-walk around the bases after hitting a dinger, but heaven forbid a pitcher take offense to any of that, lest he be branded a "whiny little baby"?

Well, it's too bad "Wild" has already been taken...

That was my thought as well after watching the replay 17 times on the DVR rewind last night...

SOOOOOOOOOOO Lakers, baby!

I agree, bale31. Minnesota State just won its first-ever Broadmoor Trophy is what was an entertaining WCHA "Final Five" in Grand Rapids. They're in a great position (simply due to their geographic location) to play non-conference games against St Cloud, Duluth, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and perhaps even Michigan or Michigan State. I'd be surprised as well if they were suddenly looking at jumping ship to the NCHC, particularly after what was arguably the best season of Maverick hockey ever.

...San Jose and Joe Thornton somehow find a way to add to their playoff 'legacy' by coming up with new and excruciating ways to under-achieve in the playoffs year after year. They will do so again on Wednesday by losing to the Kings...by blowing a 3-0 series lead...despite having game 7 on home ice...by giving up the game-winner with .6 left on the game clock.

I don't know how that was a goal...moot point now though.

Red ones are awful too. New whites are a thing of beauty.

Snow shower penalty on the Kings? Lame.

The wheat piping separating green shoulders from green jersey body just kills it for me. No shoulder patches? They look like Christmas trees on skates.

Buyer beware: If the yellow on the crest outline doesn't even remotely match the yellow on the jersey itself, it's a fake.

Nope. Just an observation. Speaking of observations, who is the fan with the Chinese-made North Stars knock-off jersey sitting right behind Yeo? That thing is awful.

Koivu with a sneaky trip on the turnover right at the blue line...

Jersey-watch update: Colorado's jerseys have always been dreadful but Minnesota's green and wheat jerseys are absolutely brutal.

LOL @ Wild fans...seems like every fan in the stands is throwing a hand up in the air while screaming for a penalty on anything and everything that happens on the ice tonight...and I absolutely detest Colorado...

LOL...yea..nevermind the sissy move of throwing your batting helmet at the pitcher because he yelled at you...minor league.

Yep, the only stunner with the Wild's decision-making with Heatley is that he hasn't been dumped...in favor of Brian Bonin.

The Kings should still be kicking themselves for losing in the '93 finals to the Canadiens. I suppose the title a couple of years ago has taken the sting away from that wound, but still...that series was all theirs...Marty McSorley's stick was all that kept them from going up 2 games to 0 and headed to Los Angeles for games 3 and 4.
