    Amazon Prime music will display that a given song is explicit and then play the edited version.

    Belt and suspenders, I guess?

    There has to be an option somewhere to stop reverting to the edited versions. It doesn’t do it all the time, but it’s well over 50% of the time at this point. 

  2. The majority of the time, my amazon echo will play the edited version of songs.  I'm assuming this is because I play a lot of kids music.  I wish I could figure out how to stop this.  I don't want to just tell it not to play that song again because I'm worried that it would block out the regular version too.

    Komarov got kicked out for nailing Savoie after the empty net goal.

    I love Komarov’s compete. Kid is a warrior.

    PLEASE make Novikov-Komarov a thing in Rochester next season.

    And with his next act as a hockey player, Savoie will be his teammate.  That's kind of funny.

    Waddell will be allowed to sit at the Columbus Draft Table in Vegas as he had little input in the Carolina Draft process. 

    They actually make this kind of distinction?  I don't care what level of input anyone may have had with other teams, whoever he's an employee of, he should be there with that team.  So is this just some technicality where contracts don't actually start until July 1?

    Not a Waddell fan as a hockey ops decision-maker, but as an old boy insider, he knows people and strings.

    In a senior advisor role (read a voice in the room, but not the boss or primary conduit to the boss) why not?

    I think most of us are in favour of adding another outside voice and Carolina has been doing some things right.

    And if they’ve been doing things right and they’re letting him walk…

    I don't think so, and I hate the Rags, lol. First contact was Kuli's shoulder to the head. 

     

    He’s pretty clearly head hunting there, hitting high and exploding upward. And what exactly is the blindside rule anyway?

    Granted, since he came to find analytics, the Canes have been very good.  But he was HORRIBLE in pretty much all his stops prior to that (Atlanta, US Olympic Team).  Want nothing to do with him.

    Believe Carolina getting good is in spite of him, not because of him.

    He's a figurehead and nothing more... or was anyway.

    Not missed off-sides, missed icing right before the GWG in OT.  But the real travesty was Ol' Butt Hurt Fraser flat out blowing the Bondra high stick while in the crease goal and refusing to let the VRJ review the play.  Because of that D-bag's intransience, the league changed a rule for the 1st of 3 consecutive years after the Sabres got clearly hosed on a call in the playoffs.

    There were a few other instances of Ol' Butt Hurt & his linesmen making stuff up that game; but those were the 2 big ones.  And Ol' Butt Hurt admitted after the game that it WAS intentional.  (How he ever reffed another game after that was boggling.)

    But did it mess up his hair?

    We’re running out of weird kids who can’t skate.

    But didn't they always say that the goalie is supposed to be the best skater on the team?😁

    I was on one team in particular where our two goalies were the best and worst skaters on the team.  I didn't know what to believe anymore.

    Yup.  Washington.  And if they didn't run into the bad luck of having Kerry "butt hurt" Frasier reffing game 2, they win Game 2 and very likely win the series only to get spanked hard by Detroit that year.  (Though w/ Hasek in net, they very well could've won 1 or 2 games.  But doubt they'd've gotten further than that.  Those non-salary capped Wings squads were juggernauts.)

    I vaguely remember a missed offsides call against St Francis’ own Todd Krygier. He actually came to the school and did a talk a little after that series. I was one of a few not exactly giving the warmest of welcomes. 
     

    Strangely enough, I just googled this and found a paywalled article from the Washington Post mentioning his visit to the school.

    I’m not sure if you are being cheeky, but it could be UPL.

    Joel Hofer is coming along.

    The current best may well be Binnington. Adin Hill?

    Somewhat interesting is that of the last 10 cup winners, 7 had a Canadian starting goalie who came out of major junior (Crawford, Fleury, Murray, Holtby, Binnington, Kuemper and Hill). 

    I’m looking for the elite goalies. Your suggestions for the current best, those are just laughable (I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing at Canada). All the Levi mentions earlier, those are so ridiculously premature. He’s not a part of the discussion right now. 
     

    Long story short, Canada is not producing goalies. I’d love to know why.

    Devon. Levi.

    Which brings up an interesting question. Who is the best goalie today that came out of major junior? I’m scratching my head on this one. 
     

    Edit: I’m guessing there’s a random euro I can’t think of.

    Im not even sure he’s AHL material.  May main concern is that he seems more skill development then overall game development.  Thinking specifically of word regarding practice prep, season prep.  In my head I think AHL is more than skill and positional development.  I would hate for my AHL team to not be getting these kids ready in terms of overall pace of practice, etc.

    He might be capped out at pure developmental levels.

    Just for the record, he has 7 years as an AHL head coach under his belt.
