Well, I think it's safe to say that the Detroit Red Wings are still the team to beat in the NHL. Yes...the San Jose Sharks have more points. Yes...Team Teal beat them once this season. Yes...San Jose was playing its 3rd game in four nights. All...

As chosen by you, of course (ha, made you look!).
Geoff Petrie has given you permission to hire the new coach, but he must start tomorrow. Choosing from the list on the poll -

"He's still a huge fan of the team and watches every game," [Geoff] Petrie said of [Pete] Carril, who sat baseline last week at Arco Arena during a West Coast visit. "He's reconnected with his people back east, but he still wants to work. On that...

Someone replaced the strokes of Spencer Hawes and Jason Thompson with that of Kenny Thomas. Harsh, I know. But there's no other way to explain the shooting slumps Shock and Hawes have suffered.
The Blazers defended Hawes well enough -- he had only...

It was only 13 days ago when the San Jose Sharks somehow beat the Columbus Blue Jackets after being outplayed for most of the game. Well, this time around...things were different. Tonight, Team Teal ran into Steve Mason of the Columbus Blue...

A Part of My Soul Just Died
The Kings turned their halftime analysis into a QVC set tonight. Jim Kozimore did his best Billy Mays impression and Kayte pretended that she was crazy about things like Kings pajamas and baby pacifiers.
C'mon Maloofs....

Don't forget that the last time the Kings visited Portland, John Salmons was an inch away from a win. Portland's good, the Kings are bad. But this is the NBA. (And hey, the Clips won in PDX last week.)
Terry Porter will have his jersey retired...

"I've been told that I have the authority to do whatever I want," [Kenny] Natt said when asked if he had the front office's backing on such matters. "They are supporting me 100 percent in my decisions, and I've informed them that the only way that...

There was a frequent complaint from the front office and players that Theus was habitually late to team buses or slow arriving to games; there was the way in which his candid nature with the media would irk the players and the team's training...

Al Jefferson, first half: 21 minutes, 17 FGAs, 22 points. 0.81 FGA/min
Al Jefferson, second half: 12 minutes, 3 FGAs, 0 points. 0.25 FGA/min
That's a hell of an adjustment. The team trapped him hard in the third -- bringing Francisco Garcia or...

Well, there were a few games there where Ryane Clowe was putting up assists instead of goals. However, after last night's game, it looks like Number 29 is back to his old self...putting rubber into the back of the net.

With the old coach, the new coach or no coach, this is a necessary win. No one wants to be the worst, and getting smacked at home by the Wolves puts you in the Thunder/Wizard zone. Really, dealing with such a poor team there can be no excuses....

rbiegler lobbed the ball at the rim flawlessly, section214 slammed it home. I guess I'm here for garbage time.
As Biegler argued, we have an offensive-minded GM, an offensive-minded roster and an offensive-minded fan base. The last two coaches...

The closest he (Reggie Theus) came to a parting shot was this:
"Things around here tend to be on the negative side. That's the one thing I hope that changes. You have to pull for each other in an organization on all levels."
Reggie Theus'...
