I'm pretty sure I recognize the rink from that shooting video posted earlier. I wish I could verify that to prove that I'm not crazy and imagining things.

Yeah, I realize it's different at that age. I'd still like to see it at the pro level, which is why I mentioned the rest of that. I know Hockey East tested it out a few years back. I have no idea what conclusions they came to from it.

Don't we have that already though?

It's kind of interesting how every single guy you've just listed was draft eligible before Murray was the GM. So you're assessing guys who are older than anyone Murray drafted while here. It's tough to use that as an indictment against his non-1st round draft picks.

I'm willing to bet that they already have something worked out. They'll sit on it and wait to announce it until the right time where it generates the right amount of buzz. I'm not sure what the best time would be, maybe right as camp is about to start, but they've got it picked out already. They'll also be ready to push it up if some negative Bills story happens. I'd do it the same exact way if I was in control.

I love that they're testing that one out. If hockey really wants to boost scoring, that would be a huge change. That paired with the no change after an icing rule would be brutal for the PK. The big concern though will be if it slows things down too much. Teams will still ice the puck since it beats the alternative, so that's more stoppages of play. That or they'll try to put the puck into the benches, which may bring on a safety issue.

Every so often I see a truck driving around from a garbage disposal company. Their name is "Junk Doctors". What in the hell were they thinking?

His post was a bit over the top, but do you ever wonder why you have this same exact discussion every single time you post?

Having that connection is the only way I'd ever go to that place. I was there once (during the international thing), only because my brother knew a couple employees. That place is so brilliantly designed to drain bank accounts. I don't know how people do it if they have to pay for everything. I'd much rather spend that money on something more practical like a down payment on a car.

The rams are going to have so many weapons but no QB to get the ball to them.

If they actually wanted to tank, it's the worst possible timing. They need to infect the entire team with flesh eating bacteria to catch up with what the jets have done.

Let me guess, you're there in October for that international wine and beer thing?

How do the kids handle their brother being around every other week? I can see that leading to the kids asking some crazy questions from time to time. Then again, kids adapt so fast. Whatever they have, they quickly assume that's how it is in every single house.

I still miss the Statue of Liberty plates. And also hope that the transponder you're traveling with doesn't randomly get picked up by one of the toll readers anywhere along the trip when you're not driving. Keep one of those foil envelopes handy!

You want to know where it's even worse? I'm sure there are plenty of other towns like this, but in Boston, you have to pay a toll when you enter the airport area and another when you leave that area. So if you rent a car at the airport, it is not possible to avoid 2 tolls. They just switched all of those tolls over to the high speed, no booth stuff. If you rent there, you are faced with two options: 1. Pay that daily fee to rent the EZ pass transponder. 2. Don't pay, and instead get hit with the rental companies high fee for going through a toll without a transponder So they officially have you in a spot where you are guaranteed to pay a significant additional fee either way. You need to do the math in your head on which option is cheaper, but the whole process is a pain in the ass.

How did the math work out on that one, one had a kid at 14 and the other at 13? Or was it somehow even worse than that?

Ahhh, that would explain why I didn't see it while doing some image searches. I was looking at the usual area for the patch. I guess that's at least an attempt to circumvent my rule about only having a crest and shoulder patch for images. I wonder if there's some sort of fabric limitation to that too. It seems like a very odd decision to make randomly.

How is it associated with any previous jersey? Did they actually wear those with the yellow jerseys? I've pretty much blocked that monstrosity from memory. Anyway, I wouldn't want anything like that patch anyway as it looks too busy for captain's letters. It feels like a bridge to jersey ads. Keep it to just a letter. The only images I want on a jersey would be the logo (both crest and shoulder patch). Sidenote: I've just created a crazy conspiracy theory in my mind about those yellow jerseys. They got so sick of people asking for a yellow jersey over the years. They decided to make one as ugly as possible so people would stop suggesting it. This was thought up shortly after faking the moon landing. Now don't go spouting off about how that time line doesn't work. That's how deep this thing goes.

I'm really not interested in trying to start something here, but I get the sense from the tone of your posts that you were banned for slightly different reasons. But anyway, you're here now. Let's focus on the topic at hand and not other message boards. There's no sense in moving into a new home and then constantly talking about the old one.

My mom recently started living on her own and is in major $$$ saving mode. I should look into doing this for her. I have an extra tv in my house that is almost never used. How exactly does it work and are you able to change channels at all or does that need to be done on the cable box itself?

That has to be a part of adidas' new design and everyone will have it in their jerseys. It looks to be venting of some sort.

Is it bad that my initial reaction to this was "wait, what happened to me?"?

Change the line to "middle school girls" though for the junior hockey scout

Scouting for a junior team has to be an awkward job, hanging around pre-teens constantly.

This candy sounds like a coward from the Boston area.
