its -45 here in chicago today with the wind chill.

"one of the most iconic nights in nba history"? gtfo.

lets wait until he has no value, THEN trade him! is troy weaver still doing asset management for this team? its a BS clickbait report. of course detroit will listen to offers for ivey. duh.

getting one point in a game that should have been a schedule loss is a pretty good outcome. minny is the third best team in the west, they were playing at home, and the wings were on a road back to back after a big divisional game in toronto. AND they didnt have edvinsson. it was a good point to get. finnie played 8 minutes tonight. a trip to GR in his future?

so far tonight, boston is beating vegas, colombus is beating dallas, pittsburgh is beating edmonton, and florida is beating winnipeg because NO ONE IN THE EAST EVER LOSES.

sam vecinie! STOP SAYING ANTHONY DAVIS IS A FIT FOR THE PISTONS! STOP IT!

he had multiple leg injuries, that's what happened.

i dont think picks alone get it done. he's 26 and a top line center. i bet they want at least danielson/kasper and a first rounder. and i bet if detroit balked, someone else would beat it. like minnesota. thomas was - up until this season - a true #1 guy. like with hughes, those dont grow on trees. unlike hughes, he's signed to a contract that will be extremely reasonable as he goes through his prime. and at louis doesnt have to deal him because of that. you'll have to blow them away. in the end, its likely too rich for yzerman's blood. its not his MO to do something like that, especially since this team doesnt seem to be "one piece away."

would you rather have grich or whitaker? whitaker or sandberg? whitaker or utley? whitaker or kent? or would you consider them all equal? whitaker had a nice end to his career after he became largely a platoon player. trammell got hurt by being compares to the ripken's, yount's, and then arod's of the world. whitaker gets hurt by the rise of the bigger second baseman (even though it used to be a hitter position back in day). but ultimately, he was "good/very good" for a long time. but never great.

What would you trade for robert thomas? danielson, buium, first and a third?

at this point they will probably re-up ivey after the season because he will be really cheap to re-sign.

its why bobby grich isnt in. voters tend to go with narrative and counting stats and peak value over guys who were consistently "very good" over their whole careers. why is jack morris in the hall of fame and dave steib isnt? or mark beuhrle? narrative. big game performances on the biggest stage. not a steady accumulation of stats over a long period. whitaker gets in if there's a massive movement publicly to do it. his peers have rejected him multiple times, they just dont consider him a star. i like lou. i want lou in, but he's still borderline for me because i'm more of a peak voter than a "compiler" voter.

his HOF "political stats" are low. his peak wasnt that high, he didnt win an mvp or ever finish in the top 10 voting, 3 gg's are not high profile and trammell has more, he didnt win any awards in the playoffs, he dropped out of the game after retiring, he is probably best known to most reporters as the guy who forgot his jersey for the all star game. people dont remember lou whitaker. trammell had a higher peak, was in the game after retirement, played short stop, was a top 10 mvp candidate 3 times, six time all star, was second in mvp in 87, was a world series mvp. that **** matters in who gets into the hall of fame. its why morris and trammell are in. its why whitaker isnt.

swept the leafs for the first time since 96.

schedule loss tomorrow.
