SDS

I did not pay too much attention after the 10th pack, but I would like to think the NHL for showing more footage of comparable NHL players, including an NFL player, than the draft picks themselves. Real men of genius right there…

This is the draft thread guys...

It's worse than that. He was authorized to provide you guys with free beer. :beer:

Boobs.

Instigator penalty on #136. 2 in the box.

I voted late second but heart was more towards a third.

There was an extended period of time where people who took the initiative to start new threads were redirected by other members to ongoing discussions buried in a general thread. I think that set the tone for quite sometime. The 10 visit/day member may prefer the simplicity of a handful of threads. The 2/week visitor has no starting point to jump in.

My name is SDS and I support this message.

Hey guys, this is a real thread with a lot of good info on the Vesey situation. If you guys want to talk pulp fiction then start a new thread.

But it is not Friday yet.

This is only slightly more complicated than determining a legal catch in the nfl.

Vesey would laugh in his face. This would make no sense. JV holds all the cards and the Sabres contract offer will be identical to everyone else's. What exactly would JV be missing out in this scenario?

This is it right here. Given the restrictions that he is under, he literally can chose any team that he wants. How many players in the entire NHL could ever say that?

Why? He was Nashville's prospect and the news came down before he could prep.

It's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear... I squatted down to pick something up and there was a sharp piece of metal behind me that I proceed to jam into my right ass cheek. I'm just happy I didn't draw blood.

I'm just sitting here thinking about my shorts I just ripped. :(

No need to speak Eleven, I know what you're saying.

Whatever the details were, I'm just pointing out that another team has charged admission to the event before us - which isn't what some are saying in this thread. Perhaps we are doing it differently, but it hasn't been totally free, for every seat, in every draft prior to 2016.

Wasn't it pointed out Florida did charge $75 for select seats?

The only way to prevent this is social media outrage towards the individual advertisers themselves. Unflattering memes might make them think twice, but the fans would have to have the stamina of Forest Gump going for a run.

Again, I'm going to say that this is overstated. What is much more carefully? Do you think they are going to stay two or three strides away? That's silly… They have amazing body control. They just won't cut it this close so often.

Clearly I can't argue it speeds the game up but no I don't believe it would have any visible affect on the perceived speed of the game.

That's probably a little melodramatic. I don't like how the rule is implemented. I don't like the call that just happened. But in theory I don't have any issue with egregious offsides being challenged. I offered my solution. If you have to use slow-motion then the call stands.

I think the players will ultimately adjust their game. They won't be riding the razors edge trying to time the zone entry. They will hold up a half step to avoid this in the future.
