Create a Lord Stanley hollogram

I say bring it, summer. I'm stuck in the middle of a building where I can't even see any natural light, so I'm completely clueless as to how it is outside most of the day. After work, I'll hit the pool at the gym. Note: I will completely change my mind this weekend when moving boxes from one house to the other

They're releasing a sequel to South Park stick of truth. That should be good.

I may be making things up here, but I would have swore that Edmonton already came out and said they're picking McDavid. That would really kill the crazy thoughts that they will somehow take Eichel instead.

The link doesn't work for me

It's no rumor. I saw a picture on facebook the other day posted by Grigorenko, mentioning being there for the wedding. I have no idea why it showed up in my feed, but it did.

Home inspections are a crazy process, even on new construction. We had ours today and its amazing what they can find. Still, to me it counts as fantastic not only because we close next week, but also it was a very interesting process to be a part of.

I'm still not following on the logic of multiple teams moving. Right now we have 14 in the west and 16 in the east. That's what they're going to stick with. So Phoenix leaves the west, one team from the east gets bumped out west. They may shuffle the divisions within each conference to account for this, but at the end it will still be 16 east, 14 west. I don't think they want a scenario where within a conference, the divisions have an unequal amount of teams.

Give him a little time. That complaining doesn't start until after the honeymoon. If he's posting during that, it's already doomed.

Respk pretty much just answered this for me, but the reason for not making this offer has nothing to do with "hurting some GMs feelings" as you're suggesting. You can't honestly thing that's what is going through someone's mind when they consider it, "Awww, I'm gonna hurt little Timmy's feelings". That's absurd. They don't do it because they don't find the price to be worth it, both in contract and in compensation.

So not making offers to RFA now makes a GM a wimp? You realize by that standard, eessentially every GM in the NHL is a wimp, right? As best as I can tell, Doug Wilson (Hjarlmarsson - 2010) and Jim Rutherford (Fedorov - 1998) are the only current GMs who have done it.

Why would two need to move? They're going to keep that 16/14 imbalance until they expand.

I'll ask the uncomfortable question. What if they are more likely to be a threat?

I can't wait until next season. I have decided that I will root for the Utah Jazz and the Colorado Rockies. I'm going with a mountain theme with my teams this year. Last year I went with nothing but teams named after birds and it didn't work so well. And forget about that year where I went all out teal. :sick:

All of NG's posts are actually typed while wearing a glove stolen from Neuvirth back when he was with the Crapitals. It's actually quite amazing how few typos he makes.

All this talk of Rush made me realize that it has been 12 or 13 years since I went to one of their shows. I visited my brother in San Antonio that year and right as I got off the plane, he said "hey, I've got Rush tickets for tonight". So that was definitely an unexpected show. You have to love that they're still out there playing shows. I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan and I hope that they'll do the same for another 20 years (they seem to be the types who will).

As long as she shows up, you're good.

Just imagine all the mini-Wookie's (Ewoks?) running around on this board when that day comes.

Say what you want about bandwagoners, but I dream of the day where both the Sabres and Bills are being flooded with them.

You wouldn't happen to have a link to this study would you? I'd be curious to check it out when I have some free time. I hear the numbers they randomly throw out there on the news claiming to prove racial bias, but they don't actually prove anything. There are too many other factors in play, so throwing only raw percentages out there is misleading. I personally think that some of these other factors carry as much weight, if not more than race, but that's where we actually have to read the entirety of some of these studies instead of just running with the single sentence the media decides to run with.

Actually, Toews has no idea about Eichel's accomplishment. ;) And be careful what you're saying, Toews went back one more year. :bag:

First the lottery results and then this. Those fans down there (avoid the obvious joke, yes there are actual fans) must have ripped the last hairs out of their head at this point. The time is officially here to put this dog down, but I do feel bad for the people who care. We lived with that threat here for many years and I can't imagine what it's like for that fear to become true.

Pasta Joe has a framed copy of that picture on his nightstand.

I've hoped for a while that they could make it work down there. The Phoenix market (you know, the place where they don't actually play) is massive and it's one that the league could absolutely use. Their time is up though. This thing has fallen apart too many times now. It's time to ship them somewhere else. I'd imagine they aim for one of the western markets though because the eastern conference already has two extra teams and they won't want a repeat of Winnipeg in the Southeast. How far along are things in Seattle and Vegas? I haven't seen the expansion thread in a while. edit: Oh, there it is. That's what I get for starting with the thread at the top of the board.

Of course it's not permanent. They'll resolve it in one episode like they always have. How many times has Marge kicked Homer out over the years? Thanks to moments like that, I now know that only gay guys and big fat party animals wear Hawaiian shirts.
