I'm sure someone will go into an in-depth analysis about how it reflects their character, but I'm guessing they bought a box or two of coffee which comes with a bunch of small cups.

I see sports writers as possibly on par with people on this board, just getting paid to do it. And some with delusions of grandeur that they can affect change on things. I listened to WGR for a bit this morning, but all I heard was someone ranting about how the whole "Fans fault tweet". At least they eventually conceded there is logic to the statement eventually, even if you don't believe it. Plus, I think they mentioned MacIntyre as a goalie prospect, but he's, isn't he? http://www.marlies.ca/news/news.asp?story_id=2628

I'm curious: how does Adam not get ranked, but Foligno does? Is there some think that if you play in the NHL and then get sent back down you're no longer ranked?

I think the payroll money would be fine with TP, but the retained salary still counts towards the cap. I doubt you're going to see a team that is spending at the cap trade and then have a $1-2m hole for the next two (three?) years.

More food for thought, although I like LPF's food more now that I've read it. A 2013 pick from the Kings right now is a known commodity, that pick will be somewhere around #50 unless something crazy happens in the next couple weeks. Which, going by the statistics is pretty much a crap shoot. Maybe Darcy is hoping the Kings are set to fall down the standings some in the coming years.

I saw no stick-taps to the head, those guys just need to suck it up.

Maybe it wasn't allowed (or as easy) in the old CBA?

You know, everyone says this, but player (and person) is different. Maybe he'd be relieved, maybe he sees better leaders around the room already. I don't think anyone here really knows the guy, so who's to say?

The Sabres will score 4 and lose. I hope.

I tried War and Peace at a time where I couldn't devote any regular time to reading. After about 100 pages and 200 characters known by 500 names, I gave up.

If it did, we wouldn't hear it. Which would, in general, be nice.

Poor you, you missed some good stuff. ;-)

See, I just thought that they assigned him to the AHL a bunch of times to send a message.

Hahaha. Did they record the phone call?

Nice. Might stop at Victory or Station Taproom (a great local beer and fancy food pub nearby) in a bit. If not, I have some Hop Rod Rye, Yakima Glory, Pennsylvania Pale Ale, and Troegs Java Head in the fridge.

Yakima Glory. Evil beer. Malty enough that the big hops aren't overwhelming, and it completely hides the 8.5% so it's really easy to drink a bunch of. Done some really stupid things drinking this stuff. But I keep doing it. :)

First: congrats! Ssecond: twice as much? Ours are 100:1, but mine was really cheap (tungsten carbide FTW).

You probably missed your best shot, which would have been a St. Patrick's Day parade/party. I'm here all week, folks. That's a good beer, but trying to kill a keg of it would be rather brutal.

I'm jealous, I'm working on the couch. It's not really comfortable to type for long periods lying down.

I just skip pants altogether.

For the first time in a week, I managed to sleep until it was actually light outside. My sleep schedule is messed up, I'm (barely) to young to be falling asleep at 9pm every night.

Maybe it was before your time here (man do I sound old), but there were jokes/conspiracy theories about Chz's real identity.

There's already two polls and a thread or two for this. :(

Since this doesn't fit anywhere: Jay McKee ‏@JayMcKee74 11h Getting together with old teammate and great friend @jasondawe43 for a few cold ones. Dawsy started my nickname in 1996, -Cheeze- #cheesykid The pieces are all falling into place.

Who are the Sounders? But, a Seattle NHL team have a natural rivalry with the 'Nucks, the question will be how many Vancouver folks come down when the Canucks are in town.
