I ask because their was a Pro Scout I was sitting next to at the Phillies game the other night. We were talking about Chase Utley and his height. I had asked him if their was going to be a shift in signing the smaller framed baseball players. He said absolutely. Just thought I would add some more hope for your draft.

Yeah big time props to the 'Wings. That game was crazy I'm just happy I got the chance to be there. After the game it seemed like almost everyone stayed in the stadium until after the ceromony, so it rocked.

That must have been awesome!!!!

Yeah it was the 1st cup game I've been to, it was awesome. Now the season's over I just hope the Pens are able to retain Fleury. Out of everyone he's def the big priority. Seems like everyone's picking Stamkos to go 1st in the draft.

Ya the wings played good, no denying that. Pittsburgh came close to tying up the hockey game. But either way great series. What was with Chelios in the end? Looked like he just stepped out of a tanning booth.

Marcus ATW · 06-06-2008, 09:36 AM

LOL tanning booth. He was a healthy scratch the whole series right? and Mc Carty?

Bum Mahoney · 06-06-2008, 09:50 AM

McCarty was in a couple. The one Holmstrom missed and I believe the other one as well. I thought Chelios had an injury he was rehabing. I'm probably wrong.

Marcus ATW · 06-06-2008, 10:46 AM

Yeah I cant see why he wouldnt play Chelly must have be strained.

Did you guys hear what tiger woods said about hockey? He was asked in an interview who he was going for, Detroit or Pittsburgh, he said, "I don't really care", and "Nobody watches hockey anymore". Lol I found this funny coming from a golfer, because after all golf is the most exciting sport to watch right?

Marcus ATW · 06-06-2008, 01:49 PM

Hes a California Kid so he is referring to when the Great One came to the Kings it really helped the NHL and its fan base back then. At least thats the way I see it.

Bum Mahoney · 06-06-2008, 01:58 PM

He's probably only been exposed to hockey through Happy Gilmore.
I did see that. I love to golf. I watch a lot of golf on Sunday afternoons. Best sleep aid since Melatonin.

Marcus ATW · 06-06-2008, 02:30 PM

lol hel yeah

**AlexParty** · 06-06-2008, 04:31 PM

Lol... Yeah sports come down to what you've been exposed to when you were a kid. I like everything from Basketball, tennis, soccer, hockey etc... He obviously wasn't exposed to hockey so he doesn't understand the intensity or playoff hockey. He doesn't know the thrills the game has to offer. I'll give him negligence because he doesn't know that all the major cities in North America have had hockey since the 1900's.

I think every sport has to be appreciated. Every sport has something to offer and requires a lot of skill. Golf is something I do to relax, I don't really take it seriously.

Bum Mahoney · 06-06-2008, 04:39 PM

He'll probably buy a team in a few years.
Ever watched the celebrity golf tour events? Seems like they are all hockey players, quarterbacks, or kickers. I bet Mario will join the Senior tour when he hits 50.

I agree about what you are exposed to. I like most sports, though I have trouble with basketball other than in March. I'm one of those who can watch soccer and enjoy a 0-0 match. Football and hockey tend to be more involved when watching, whereas I can watch a baseball/soccer/golf event and drift in and out, work in the garage, etc. They all have their place. Therapy, lol.
I look at it this way as well....It keeps the kids off of cartoons/video games/etc. If the game is on in the background, they aren't glued to it. They read/play games, that kind of stuff in the winter. In the summer they are outside, so it is less of an issue.
