So i decided to do some reading about Kate Smith since she would have turned 101 today. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kate_Smith

Look at one of her songs....

QuoteThat's Why Darkies Were Born Kate Smith Henderson & Brown

Someone had to pick the cotton, Someone had to pick the corn, Someone had to slave and be able to sing, That's why darkies were born;

Someone had to laugh at trouble, Though he was tired and worn, Had to be contented with any old thing, That's why darkies were born;

Sing, sing, sing when you're weary and Sing when you're blue, Sing, sing, that's what you taught All the white folks to do;

Someone had to fight the Devil, Shout about Gabriel's Horn, Someone had to stoke the train That would bring God's children to green pastures, That's why darkies were born.
"For all the civic slurs, for all the unsavory things said of the Philadelphia fans, also say this: They could teach loyalty to a dog. Their capacity for pain is without limit." -Bill Lyons

meaningless stat.

wayne gretzky had 130 points in 1993/94 and his plus-minus was -25. 

As soon as Briere tallies 130 point we can start comparing the two. In the mean time, I'd point out that Danny scored 53 less points and had roughly the same +/-.
Is rjs gonna have to choke a bitch?

Let them eat bootstraps.

I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but what's the deal with Gagne? Is he dead? Daily seizures? Paralysis in the extremities? Or is there hope for him to come back next year at 100%?

Gagne playing like Gagne and scoring 35-45 goals makes this team look a lot more like a legit contender and a lot less like a loveable bunch of determined grinders...

He's supposedly symptom free.  But Holmgren said he's done until next year, they've had too much experience with setbacks.

no one has much of an idea....but most signs point to him having to retire next year...most likely after he gives it another try or two

Kate Smith was sent to us via the skins' ownership.


As of March 26, Gagne wanted to return if the Flyers made the Finals

QuoteGagne likely won't have to worry about a comeback this season. The Flyers are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference.

We're going to make that AP writer eat it.

sounds like the same douchebag who annointed the mets the eastern division champs in august last year.

BigEd76

If you think that +/- stat is meaningless in hockey, it's now being used in the NBA too.  Sucks for whoever has to count that ish

PoopyfaceMcGee

I wonder how Sammy D's +/- matches up against other premier centers in the NBA.

If anyone is interested in watching Claude Giroux dominate tonight, he's playing at 730pm http://qmjhl.mytelus.com/live_games.asp

Giroux ended up with 3 assists, and 1 goal.  He has 41 points... in 15 playoff games.  Not bad :)  The closest person to him with points is at 20pts...lol
