We had them before and there really isn't enough action around here to keep them going

It specifically mentions suspensions in the CBA. I love that the league did it, but I get the feeling that they'll lose this one on appeal Tom Brady style. Then again, the wording there seems a bit off to me, the way they use the whole "first offense" term. With this wording, it seems like someone who was suspended 3 times within 18 months, only the first of those three could ever be counted as the "first" offense. I'm overanalyzing I'm sure, their intent is clear, but I'd say they wrote it poorly.

I'm still confused by the fact that you can setup some kind of fancy search to record these games. I can't even find the channel I'm looking for half the time yet, let alone pull off something like this.

With as bad as Miami has been, they're still only one game behind us. We're a mess right now too.

Apparently Raffi Torres is under review for another cheap hit that landed him a match penalty. And stupid NHL rules state that he will not be treated as a repeat offender because he hasn't been suspended in over 18 months.

It sucks, but it's real. Until we get to the point where Jerry Hughes sits down at the end of every single play, they're going to be watching him.

It's the Pat Kaleta-effect.

Of course LGR would be the guy who wouldn't realize that he'd be better off squeezing that vowel into the 2nd half of the license plate. edit: And this one doesn't really fit in any thread, so I'll post it here. I was following behind a car this morning with a bumper sticker that read "Texas A&M former student". So apparently they are now making bumper stickers for people who didn't complete their degree. I like to think that this guy went to A&M for about a week, realized it wasn't right for him, but still cherishes his time there, no matter how brief it was.

I guess if it comes down to Reinhart, it's one thing, but if you're decision to carry that one extra guy comes down to someone like Legwand, your decision is already obvious. There's no sense in messing around with waivers even if the guy is not a likely claim. Just keep him around and don't waste any time.

All those personal fouls don't help with the rest of the calls. At this point, these guys have a reputation with the refs. If they see some borderline play, they're more likely to throw that flag because of it. That's what happened with the Clay PI (Clay was blocking the ref's line of site to the defender) and also that horrible Watkins one against New England. They see the defender fall and just assume we did something wrong because all this team does is take penalties.

Do they really need to go to a commercial break when there is a handful of seconds left in a quarter. I have no idea how people can watch this stuff.

They were never going to snap that ball

I'm getting sick off offensive PI calls from refs out of position

They should go to commercial break a few more times

I just saw a blurb on the bottom of the screen on NHL network that Bickell is on waivers. They're just giving him away for free. Didn't see it mentioned (but I didn't look either)

I wonder how many teams have more than one or two players left from 8 years ago.

Right alignment is the only way to go.

They are almost always going to seek out that gun-free zone if planning something like this. No matter how many guns you put out there, there will still wind up being a place without guns. So arming everyone won't magically make this stuff stop either, it'll just shift the location. There needs to be more to this than just arm/disarm everyone. Those arguments will lead us nowhere.

:worthy: :worthy: :worthy: Where would I be without him?

Blue can't handle simple math.

I always wanted Yuri Khmylev to modify Hasek's nickname and be known as the Yurinator.

Sure smell, steal my post.

My boss just told me that on the day of her wedding, a hurricane rolled through. The name of that hurricane? The same exact name as her mother-in-law.
