:D It's almost too easy. The thing's a circle already.

I'll be very curious to see our injury report this week. We need everyone we can get. And no matter what complaints we've had about how this season has gone so far, all is forgiven if they can walk away with a win on monday.

So when are you buying him skates?

That story was all over facebook this weekend. I'd love to know how it got bumped back up. It just goes to show you how little attention we pay to that part of the world.

He's the legislature majority leader? I would have figured that it would take far more years of experience to get to that level.

Look at the date on that report... :bag:

Johnson was about to pummel Marchand but the linesman got in between them.

I know they have a set game limit, but in my mind, a teenager like Ekblad, even with that Calder under his belt, is still a prospect.

We had a brief discussion in here about the best Bond theme. Well, after seeing Spectre this weekend, I have a clear answer for what the worst Bond theme was. And I hope I didn't need a spoiler tag for that one.

You make the fatal flaw of assuming someone would even want to watch Titans/Jaguars at all.

There's only one thing that can change that, actually making the playoffs.

The way his mustache actually sticks out above the beard... incredible.

Yes, go with the beer, life's pain killer. Even in the moments you're not drinking it, you can hold the cold bottle against your leg.

I didn't think it was possible, but Fitz's beard has become even more crazy since he left. He looks like Yukon Cornelius.

It must just be the fumbles then that are sticking out in my mind. We're middle of the pack there and that includes 2 in the last 2 games.

Give him time. He'll be as cynical as the rest of us soon enough.

I hear you with the concern over the drugs. I was the same way when I had knee surgery 4 years ago. I didn't want to touch the stuff... but I immediately regretted that about 8 hours later when the stuff from surgery officially wore off. I could barely move any part of my body without getting some sharp pain. So I took one pill, but it was way too late. That was the only one I took though. It sounds like you're past that initial stage though, so my advice of taking it initially is too late. At this point, I say stay the course. You're probably through the worst of it at this point.

Still living those high school days, I see. And speaking of fantastic fridays, combined five game winning streak!

The Duchene stuff seems odd to me, especially with how Dreger mentioned they've really struggled after letting Stastny and O'Reilly go. Obviously it would depend on their return, but a move even further thining them out up the middle of the ice isn't going to help. I have a hard time seeing them getting anything in return that is going to improve that situation.

The source of the negativity is very simple. You don't sit through the past 15 years without doubting this team. It's perfectly understandable to question them at this point. Is it sizzle that usually does the good photoshops? We need one of a buffalo snapping a football. The turnover thing surprises me. It feels like up until last night we really haven't been forcing many turnovers. I remember that exact thought coming to mind right before that Graham TD in the Jacksonville game.

Moving a defenseman without getting one in return can't even be a consideration at this point. Forget about future depth at the position, there isn't even present day depth there.

Make that 30 years. Lidstrom played for about 50 years.

I'm pretty sure I saw Bradham lined up on the sideline at one point last night. I don't know what type of shifting led to that, but that freaked me out.

Those shows' audience doesn't feel like a good fit for Star Wars' target audience. I know there are plenty of women who like those movies, but it definitely skews towards males. Granted it's from very limited viewing, but the Gray's Anatomy subject matter feels about as far from Star Wars as possible. And this one's just pure speculation, but I would think those shows pull from a much older audience than they want to draw to Star Wars.

I realize it's a Disney thing, but they decided to push Star Wars during estrogen night on ABC? Odd choice.
