Yeah, f*** Miro! Oh, I see that you're over it.

Don't forget Doreah: Exhibit #2 (NSFW)

Now we know why Tommen wasn't cast as the plump little fat boy of, what, 7? 8? That scene would have been ... uh ... awkward.

Even if we finish #29 and #30 in the league, the odds would still be with us getting Eichel and whoever goes #3. A little worse than a coin-flip chance (43.8:56.2) that we get both.

While the current thirds are terrible, I don't see how that banner shows what "a professional designer" could do. Pretty uninspired itself.

They'll need to blow more than a 3-goal lead in Game 7 to beat the 2010 Bruins collapse.

Had to see for myself: http://youtu.be/Nk_zpMory-0

I was going to say how I turned that game on late in the third when it was 3-1 and I how I couldn't believe that it was 5 years ago, but then ... :cry:

Penner scored the game winner at 19:59 in the second. Kings won 2-1. If it's 1-1 near the end of the second, Miller should be afraid, very afraid.

Only, here, the JV (CHL) players can play in college (NHL), but not on the varsity team (AHL). Not to mention that the JV team and Varsity team in this analogy are different organizations, completely, unlike actual JV/Varisty teams. There is a de facto "exceptional status" in the CHL-NHL relationship; Tyler Myers earned it. They just won't let you take one of their top players and stick him in the minors. This only affects the handful of young players who are too good for the CHL, but not good enough for the NHL. As for the 18-21 year old question, most posters here older than that would probably look back on themselves in that age range and say that they really weren't mature enough to truly be "adults".

I've never been one to buy into the "keep him out as long as the guy that he hit is out" due to the "injury history" portion of how long the guy will be out. However, it should be at least as long as one would reasonably expect a normal player (i.e., without a notable history) to be out due to hit like that. Blasting a guy in the head should reasonably be expected to cause a concussion and I'm sure that there are plenty of statistics for how long those typically take to recover from. I'm pretty sure that it's more than three games.

I agree that it wasn't interference (he just played the puck.) I agree that without the head-shot, it probably wouldn't be suspension-worthy. That said, it was a brutal head shot and, as such, should have been far more that three games. If they really want that out of the game - and they should - then there has to be more of a consequence than that.

Not to rehash the last page, but it's amazing that they could wrap up two colorful characters, Daario Naharis and Strong Belwas, into such a lifeless character/scene (killing the mounted champion.) No bright clothes, no cocky attitudes, no "I let them cut me once to keep count of my kills." Ugh.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say incredibly overrated, but I would say overrated. Very good in parts, but I can't watch a whole movie all at once.

I read this before I watched the video and was concerned that he was the type to bypass celebrating teammates to get in his "special" celebration. I really hate that (yes, even when Kaleta or any other Sabres player does it.) Fortunately, the last one showed me that he is not that type.

A quick current-Sabres design. (Couldn't figure out who the pants sponsor is.)

There, that makes more sense.

Time to work on a post-slug-era Jackals jersey.

Don't forget that we've lost three straight lotteries (2012, 2013, 2014), so the "we're due" factor bumps that up to like 60%. ;)

Sad, but I'm pretty sure that when it got down to the final two, my heart rate picked up for the first time this season. I can't wait until it does that during games again ... in 2015-16.

I initially misread your bag-head. But, hey, it gave me an excuse to spread some knowledge. :thumbsup:

Yes, the winner moves up to first and every team in between their old spot and the top moves back 1 spot. So, either we win and pick 1st or someone else wins and we pick 2nd.

I don't think they'll have apply too much force to lose. They'll make trades for young guys with long-term potential, not for guys who are peaking now. Putting together the roster with the best that they have and a few others sprinkled in will lose just fine.

Dammit, I always forget the BC to the COC. (There's a dirty joke in there somewhere.)
