My Mickelson Masters pick is getting a boost this week. Lefty currently holds a TEN-shot lead at Sugarloaf.

Has there ever been a playoff drive this exciting? The West, especially, is awesome, with seven teams that could go from a third/fifth seed to not making the playoffs at all.

141. <Insert female poster here>, SHOW US YOUR TITS!

I loved Kurt Angle's Eurocontinental title run in 2000.

We have a theatre here that shows nothing but second-run and retro movies. I got to watch the entire Indiana Jones trilogy there one Sunday. Good times.

Ray Emery just tied the all-time record for most wins by a goalie in a month (12), set by Bernie Parent in 1974.

Starting next week, TAR moves to Wednesdays at 8. And all I have to say is...ABOUT FUCKING TIME.

Good luck on getting Hogan to lay down for Austin.

Wow, what a stat. Senators are soon to be 43-0-0 when scoring at least 4 goals.

When did Paul Tagliabue become an advisor to David Stern? This sounds like something the NFL would do.

This, I agree with. Especially on '88 Kansas. I'm usually not impressed with a one-man team enough to call them one of the greatest ever. '79 Indiana State is the only one I can think of that would impress me that much, just because Bird was that damn good.

I'd love to see Mike Fisher get some consideration for this one.

As great as Ovechkin has played, I'd give the Calder to Lundqvist. He's just played awesomely. A rookie goalie who gets Vezina consideration (and he should) definitely deserves the Calder.

They don't have much of a shot either. Six points down with 10 games left. I really, really, really want to see Tampa Bay drop to eighth (assuming the Sens clinch first place).

Why not? Not every team that won a national championship would be ranked as one of the 64 greatest ever. You have to take into account massive favourites that got beat ('75 Indiana, '83 Houston, '85 Georgetown, '91 UNLV) and teams that never even played in the tournament (I think I read that '54 Kentucky ended the season at No. 1 but declined a NCAA tournament bid, at a time when the NIT was more prestigious). The whole exercise was ridiculous, though. Most of the voters have never seen the great UCLA teams, let alone heard of the dominant USF teams with Bill Russell. Anything older than 25 years ago is dismissed, as is anything without a household name (which is why '76 Indiana didn't trounce '82 UNC -- "How the hell is Quinn Buckner going to beat MJ and Worthy?")

Hogan is my guess.

Will he make the House listen to him sing the Soviet national anthem before each sitting?

That's the seventh anniversary of me winning a shitload of cash playing Caribbean Stud.

Dammit. At least he should be back for the playoffs. Chara and Volchenkov better both be back for the Rangers game, or there's going to be trouble.

"Rise, my friend!" Phil is just ultra-awesome this season.

OMG TWIN TOWERS COLLIDE~!

Why does everyone take the Yield as such a personal affront? Seriously, it's a game, GET OVER IT.

Dave looks ready to unleash some CANADIAN VIOLENCE on that laundry.

Bye Pinks. Should've learned how to drive stick.

How is it that two 40-goal scorers can never score in a shootout? I can't remember seeing Heatley or Alfredsson score a shootout goal since Thanksgiving (that's CANADIAN Thanksgiving, in October). Thank FSM there aren't any shootouts in the playoffs, or the Sens would be royally fucked.
