Kevin Durant is reportedly going pro....

Yep, the same guy. He was the catcher for Granville and I played for Watkins and they had a nasty little rivalry going on when I moved to Ohio in 1997. I struck him out once and the second time up he hit a homer off me that hasn't landed yet. Tim Anderson was a heavyweight wrestler in High School (he won the state championship his senior year in 97-98) and kicked the ever loving s*** out of me when my wrestling team practiced against his. Our heavyweight was injured and while I was the 189 class guy, I had been wrestling heavy because I'd dislocated my elbow early on that year and was just getting back. I had to check but he's playing for the Bills now... Not fun

Nah I never really liked him even when he was on track to win the Heisman Side Note: I played against guys like Scott McMullen and Tim Anderson in high school....

Yeah....oh well, what do you want from a Wisconsin guy? BTW the going rumor right now is that Oden is seriously considering returning...I hope I didn't just jinx it

I didn't and couldn't do the playoff beard thing the past couple years because of work, but I can this year. My last shave was Easter morning, which coincided with the last day of the regular season

when Wifey and I found out we were going to have a kid, I was rooting for it to be a boy and a girl twin set Scarlet and Grayson anyone?

As usual Andy Katz is about 6 months too late.... Mike Sr. started the application process during Conley's JUNIOR year in High School FWIW....

Pretty much if you are going to be in the top 5 or so, you should go. That's about the way things break out.

No I think he'll go No. 1 easily this year. He showed in the NC game that he can be the franchise guy. I think that wrist injury held him back more than anyone was willing to admit. Durant is good, but he's no MJ (yet).... Oden seriously looks like the next Duncan.... BTW it was Sam Bowie (and Hakeem Olajuwon) selected before Jordan, not Brad Daugherty

Nice so us Ohio Wings fans will get the Wings games on Versus

so far as I know he isn't going anywhere (Conley) but that could change. As for Oden, I think he SHOULD go, but he is, from what everyone says around him, a different cat than most. He might just stay for another year. I can see where Conley thinks Oden is going yet Oden hasn't told anyone. Honestly, I think he'll want to play another year with Conley BUT, at the same time, I think he should go pro.

True but you want to watch out for some of the older coaches. Sometimes they lose their fire and with it, recruits.

Friday: Atlanta @ Carolina Florida @ Tampa Bay Anaheim @ Dallas Saturday: NY Islanders @ Philadelphia Buffalo @ Washington Chicago @ Detroit Phoenix @ Los Angeles Vancouver @ San Jose Ottawa @ Boston Montreal @ Toronto Florida @ Carolina Tampa Bay @ Atlanta Anaheim @ Columbus NY Rangers @ Pittsburgh St Louis @ Minnesota Nashville @ Colorado Edmonton @ Calgary Sunday: Chicago @ Dallas Buffalo @ Philadelphia NY Islanders @ New Jersey Vancouver @ Phoenix Calgary @ Colorado

Dats is staying a Red Wing

It probably won't be as much as $7 Million (I hope) because the playoffs haven't happened yet.... I'm glad they got this out of the way....

Yep....Gilliepse is going to Kentucky. I gotta say that I'm not exactly thinking that Beilein will return you all to the glory days....he might get you to the tournament, but I don't know if he'll get you to the next step....

Empty Net

GOAL!!! CALDER!!!

true but so long as Dom is sharp and Osgood can spell him, I'm not going to worry about one game. Ask me again on Thursday I think you are probably getting the Cavs game huh?

Do you get FSN Ohio or FSN Cincy?? I'm getting it....

It's Hitchcock's system and the fact that everyone on the CBJs but Feds, Nash and Vyborny are playing for a spot on the roster next year..... Sure Detroit hasn't exactly been sharp, but I'm not worried yet....

Not necessarily....Versus and NBC will be carrying some games in the first couple rounds as well....

I am seeing a closer game that most. If the Blue Jackets haven't quit on Hitchcock and I don't think they have, they won't be blown up on defense like they were Sunday. Prediction: Wings 3 (Holmstrom, Lang and Schneider) Jackets 2 (Vyborny and Malhotra)

I was wondering when this Buckeye team was going to show back up. You know, the one that goes 4 for 25 from 3. They didn't show up at all during the Big Ten tournament and they didn't show up in the first 5 games of the NCAAs. I think a couple things happened, first, Ohio State put everything they had into that Georgetown game. The younger players sans Oden just didn't have much to give tonight. The other thing that happened is that I think Ron Lewis and Jamar Butler were trying to press too much and trying to do too much. But props to Florida. I don't like Florida but damned if they aren't on a roll right now. I still wish someone would shave Noah's head, but Corey Brewer and Humphrey's are deadly out there and Taurean Green keeps them all going. It was nuts. I'd be shocked if Oden or Conley come back at this point. Lighty will be back as will Cook I think. Hunter will be a Senior next year, Koufous will bring in another 7 footer (and he can hit 3s) and Thad is bringing in another top 10 class. Next year they'll be able to play 12 deep on the bench because the scholarship restrictions will ease. Props to Florida like I said. Enjoy it.

ahhh.....not many details, but more filler....
