  1. Looks like Ball was tired of doing nothing
  2. That's cute. It was almost like a coherant argument for a second. You know, except that your folks are the ones chirping every single thread. (Other than that one Bushito comment, find a thread where Riga players aren't running their mouths first.) And except for the fact that Seattle has more TPE at basically every position other than Kendrick. And except for the fact that the Bears have made the playoffs two straight years and took one of the strongest teams in the league the distance each time. I don't take trash talk from teams that have accomplished no more than we have. Get at me when you've done something.
  3. Down with Fever. Also, two victorious fights already for me this season is awesome, as is leaving less than a period into the game and already having a goal.
  4. Think the fires of the Season 33 Draft have cooled down five seasons later? If the most recent New York v. Seattle game is any indication, Seattle winger Karsten Olsen still harbors some resentment towards the man taken ahead of him in the draft, Wesley Kellinger. With the New York Americans up 4-2 in the third period, the newly-signed Kellinger decided to rub his overall success in Olsen’s face. Kellinger followed Olsen around the ice for entire shift, making crying motions with his gloves and spouting curses related to Olsen’s recent public frustrations with his statistics. After trying to ignore him for much of the shift, Olsen finally snapped after Kellinger said, “Your Mom was an even bigger Bear last night.” The box score only showed the eventual results of the fight, saying: However, the true fight was much, much worse. After the game, Kellinger needed 15 stitches following repeated blows to the head. And even worse for the Americans? The referee saw Kellinger’s taunts throughout the shift, and he was the one thrown out of the game for instigating a fight. The Americans may have won 5-3, but Olsen feels that there is now a weight off his shoulders. “He’s been messing with me since the day he was taken number one,” Olsen said. “But let’s see if he decides to run his mouth off again the next time the Americans come around.”
  5. I hate Memorial Day with a burning passion.

  7. Olsen seeks the turning point Seattle (AP) -- What is the definition of a bust? Despite being taken with the second overall pick in the S33 Draft, and despite being among the league leaders in practice hours over the past couple of seasons, Karsten Olsen is beginning to feel like a bit of a bust. He has never been among the league leaders in points, and his Bears teams have never been able to get over the hump to the FInals. "It's a bit frustrating, because I feel like I should be an MVP candidate at this point in my career," Olsen said. "But for some reason, my play on the ice just isn't indicative of the work I've put in." But is that trend changing? In the very first game of the S38 preseason, Olsen absolutely obliterated the rebuilding Helsinki Titans to the tune of five goals in the first period and a half alone. Although he only scored one goal in the rest of the preseason, that particular outburst gives Olsen the confidence that this might be his year. "Some of those goal scorers like Taylor and Zhumbaev on our their way out the door," Olsen said. "This is my time now. This is the Bears' time. I think we're reaching a now-or-never point, and I just hope that I'm able to be on the right end of history instead of a forgotten man." Olsen only managed one assist and no goals in the Bears' first two games, but the winger recognizes that it's early in the season. An upcoming three game stretch against young goalies in Calgary, Helsinki and Cologne may help determine where Olsen will be this season.
