    Ignore me, I get my power forwards that start with T that fade down the stretch mixed up.

    Once! (Thornton). So yeah, we should bet on two of the three to come back.

    Not zero, from the wikipedia page: "Four A-10s were shot down during the war, all by surface-to-air missiles. Another three battle-damaged A-10s and OA-10As returned to base but were written off, some sustaining additional damage in crashed landings.[" And another in Iraq later, maybe 5 shot down total? It's tough to tell how accurate the wiki information would be.

    Dude, don't mock the yappy dogs. http://www.examiner.com/article/packs-of-feral-chihuahuas-terrorize-arizona-town-animal-control-overwhelmed

    I read that as the Carolina guy said it.

    The Bruins with Rask/Thomas (until a couple years ago)? Vancouver with Luongo (despite his failures in big games)?

    I'm out! Woo! I can stop worrying.

    I think you'd get a majority of NHL fans, and maybe a few "outsiders". I mean, curling is pretty popular during the Olympics, but I've *never* seen a mention of the World Championships that happen every year (every other year?). The World Championships start in a month, what country is it hosted in this year? (without looking it up... I had to look it up already to see if there was a curling championship!)

    I don't think nearly as many people watch a yearly or less hockey tournament. If they did, I think you'd hear more about the world juniors. Just like bobsledding, luge, curling, it's something that people will watch as framed as part of the Olympics. Tell people there's a hockey tournament in September? Snore. Perhaps there's a 10-year-old asking, "Dad, can we go to a hockey game?". Agreed.

    They may have set the roster before they knew if Lucic was playing for Canada.

    So is it bad luck to start a GDT over a month ahead? And in this case, is bad luck a win or a loss? (I'm off to start that "GDT: SCF Game 7 Sabres at Phoenix 2020-06-13 at 8PM EDT" thread...)

    Not me, but my parents did in the early 70s. My Dad knew someone who let him in, so it was just my mom, him, and my toddler cousin. There's some pictures of it, if I think of it I'll find them next time I'm home.

    $520 on Carolina. Olympic hangover for whichever Buffalo goalie starts, and we'll see if I'm out of the game or not! #ThinkTank!

    I'm not sure how widespread it is, but there are a bunch of Roller derby events around Philly and Binghamton NY, at least. And Buffalo. http://www.qcrg.net/

    In the apartments acrost (:)) from Pyramid mall?

    Not when I was that age, but now a days..

    Now I know you're lying, what kind of Canadian doesn't get Timmy-Ho's donuts with found money?
  18. MattPie
    I'd bet real money (not my SS bux) that this got out because Twitspace/FacedIn/GooBook and not due to hard-nosed journalism. "Check it out, I'm partying with the Austria Hockey team!"

    USA Goalies always let in bad goals. ;)

    There's not many times the Canadian version is cooler.

    http://i.nbcolympics.com/athletes/athlete=2478/bio/index.html "Injury woes Though he was expected to compete for the starting job at the 2006 Olympics, a broken thumb sidelined Miller in November 2005. He had begun the 2005-06 season as Buffalo's backup goalie, but quickly earned the top spot. Miller missed more than a month because of the thumb injury, and returned on the day the U.S. team was named, on Dec. 19. Though U.S. officials had made other plans by then, his play earned him the spot on the taxi squad." And this lists Miller as the alternate for 2006. http://proicehockey.about.com/od/international/a/us_olympic_team.htm

    Interesting if his game translates when he's not an adult-sized person playing kids. Or if he keeps growing; I was 6'2" when I was 14 and I'm 6'2" now 20+ years later.

    I suppose my next question is, "how many have 3 (or 5) seasons with 40 games?" I can see a team throwing a young 1st round pick in for a season or two since they were probably desperate for GT to begin with, but that pick not working out. Kind of like how the Bills manage QBs.

    Vermont maple syrup is better than Canadian maple syrup.
