Screw you, Calgary!

I'm calling it right now, Lady Byng winner.

These picks could wind up being good ammo for deadline deals in March if the team is in playoff contention. I'm not against letting one of the kids like McCabe get his feet wet at the NHL level early in the season, only to bulk up the position later.

Have you officially become self-aware?

I gave my reasoning. Cruise was probably a strong word, but I think they'll still be right up at the top. They've certainly got an inside track at one of the guaranteed playoff slots from finished in the top 3.

Smell, maybe I should explain why I said they are BS. Those tweets come across as complete ramblings. They're just making stuff up. You basically hinted at that with your blue collar comments. They picked a bad name and now they're spinning their tires trying to explain it.

Karmanos kept him around for 20 years, so what does that say about him as an owner if he's not crazy about the guy? But hey, that's the kind of stuff that gets you into the HoF.

They'll probably cruise their way to a division title again thanks to Price (and also Subban). Meanwhile, look at the battle Washington is going to face to even make the playoffs in that suddenly stacked division. I don't know if I put too much weight on Ovechkin's reputation for not being able to carry that team when it matters (possibly unfair), but I just don't believe in that team one bit.

Those tweets are pure BS.

The only place they're finding some scoring depth at this point is via trade. I don't know their system at all though, so I have no idea if they have enough ammo to pull of something decent.

Both Buffalo teams attaching their future to the backs of BU players. Those two pieces of paper on my wall are finally paying off for my pride factor.

Interesting. If I'm a guy trying to land on a contender, I think I'd head to Montreal before I went to Washington. Price tips the scales in their favor among most of the mid-tier teams in my mind.

I think this should be a bannable offense.

I hope Cal steals Ryan's number.

They're paying him next to nothing. Even if he spends half the time in the press box it won't have much impact on their bottom line.

Do we even need to bother with the Kessel jokes when TSN takes care of them for us? Take a look at who sponsored this link.

Is it legit or just a joke?

Are Wednesday weddings common in Russia?

I don't even mean the resolution. I'm just talking about the actual screen size. The wall looks a bit empty right now.

The tv talk has me curious. I just mounted my tv on the wall yesterday, and much like she said, I could go bigger.

Hoss, who makes those maps? Their choice of logos angers me.

Every now and then I see people talk about having all of these different systems. Now I hope you don't take offense to this question, but how on earth do you find time for all of them?

I personally don't believe in it, but lots of people like to push the idea of not trading within the division. Boston seemed to take that approach with Hamilton, so why would they have sent Seguin here? I know it's a different GM now, but from the stuff I've heard on the radio, people seem to think Neely is calling the shots, not Sweeney.

Someone should call these agents on their bluff.

I miss the methodical approach you had to go through to get an NES game to work. And then once you finally thought you had it right, it would reset again and go back to that blinking screen.
