    Ruth..he truly did it all..pitcher, hitter, fielder.

  • Jordan or Russell?

    Jordan, best ever! Period!

  • Gretzky or Orr?

    I have always said that 5 Orr's beat 5 Gretzky's just because Orr had pyhsical presence.One-on-one - Gretzky.

    Federer, too much game!

    Hey mate.
    Did my first slide show today. It is supposed to be humor. Tell me if you like it

    You're very welcome.

    I'm glad you enjoyed putting it together. That is, after all, what it's all about.

    Hey Mark—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

    I've been spending time on our Leafs page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

    Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

    If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

    Thanks so much,

    Dave Mo

    Hey Mark. I think the Top Writer thing is based on number of articles written. Glad you found that one.

    As far as Gordon goes, they've struggled with a couple of things. First, he and Jimmie were behind the curve on the intermediate tracks with the COT this year, because they focused on the Chase last year. Junior's team has been better because of additional time put in on them. (Recall that HMS was great on short and road tracks last year thanks to all the testing David Green was doing for them).

    When it comes to a win, he's been close. Arguably he would be in the top-5 of points if he hadn't pooched that restart at Vegas. I'm thinking he's going to break through with a win (actually 3) in the second half of the season, once they get a handle on the new tires. They have given the 24 and 48 teams fits in set ups.

    Nice weather? Day off? I seem to be unfamiliar with those concepts...I just finished spring semester and summer classes start Monday. Oh yeah did I mention it's May 10 and we woke up to freakin' snow? That's right, it's snowing today. So much for my son's soccer. It's been cancelled twice now due to snow and they've only had 3 weeks so far.

    At least I can look forward to a trip to Montreal in a few weeks. North Dakota may kill me yet.

    I remember Raycroft. he was in the net in 2004, when we won against boston in the playoffs. and then I saw him again when u guys eliminated us last year! lol; I guess he will like it in Montreal!

    from a Habs perspective, I guess it is good to have the young guns coming up. but clemensen will be UFA, as far as I remember. u can let him go, have Raycroft traded for I dont know what kind of player u need in ur team, and have toskala and pogg together.

    or u'd like halak ? lol
    he is not an artist but he can do nice things!
