Let's talk about Pujols....

The best player in MLB for the last decade (and only 30).

Just hit his 400th home-run, 3rd youngest to that point. I hope he ends up breaking records. He may be on pace to be best pure hitter ever.

10 straight years with 32+ homers, 100+ RBI, and no lower than a .314 average in all of those years. ROTY award, 3 MVP's, 1 World Series Ring, 1 Gold Glove, 9 All-Star games, 1 batting championship, 1 HR championship.

He also hardly misses games, I think he's played like 143+ games each season.

And he's still with his original team. He's just a class act of a player and athlete.

Only baseball player I 100% believe did not take roids is David Eckstein, although I firmly believe that he was popping amphetamines while they were allowed just like everyone else so there goes that.

They say 2010 is the year of the pitcher but in reality it is the year without amphetamines. Amazing what those little pills will do.

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
