I'm a little surprised by that Sabres offer. His lack of development under a goalie coach that was fired doesn't even get him a little slack. I'm assuming the Sabres probably offered him a higher number but his agent rejected that, so the Sabres are just low-balling to hopefully get Linus at the number they originally offered. No chance.

Borgen wearing 3 is very good.

So basically he wasn't interested in actually running the team. That's always good.

I think Anaheim's roster is at least a little bit interesting, but I can see the argument.

I think if I had to rank the least interesting teams in the NHL it would be Minnesota, Florida, and LA. I would watch any other team in the league play a hockey game over those three.

The Wild are such a weird team. They've had pretty good talent for years and are just totally uninteresting. When was the last time anyone gave a ***** about the Wild? 2013?

Why would any team want Parise with that contract?

I still think Risto is going somewhere unexpected, like Anaheim. And I'd put better money on someone like Nelson going to Tampa.

The latter. I've never believed Risto was going to Tampa, just that he was going.

The Risto trade is coming

According to Joe Yerdon, part of the fallout from all of this is that the Beauts are playing at Northtown Center instead of the Harbor Center this year. That SUCKS.

Yikes. That's a lot of term and money. He is only 25, but still. In a league where you can still win Cups with hot rookie goalies making 850K, it just seems ridiculous to pay one goalie that much money.

It's been like this forever. Welcome to the "sick of it" club, we've been keeping a seat open for you.

Surveillance is, I suppose, a human tradition. People in control, or desiring control, want information. The devil is in the deployment, the psychology, etc. The European tradition of overt surveillance is pretty well established. The Brits love their CCTV cameras, speed cameras, etc. They're well ahead of the US on that kind of stuff. The US seems to prefer covert surveillance, which I think is largely the fault of the public's perception of surveillance activities. Out of sight, out of mind. We're fine with the Patriot Act but we don't want to see any cameras watching us in public places.

Dude, we have the same birthday. Have we ever established that on here?

We've been through this before, but define "toughness".

Works for me.

Why not just wait till like... December? Seeing the new coach, seeing where the roster is at, would probably be of some value before deciding that everything is already f*cked on a Tuesday in late July.

Notice the various logos inside the collar. I think it'll look better in person.

If folding your hand before the flop is fun then, well, have fun with that I guess.

Yeah, or just someone who has been scrutinizing the daylights out of this stuff for a dozen years and recognizes the general order of things. If you have a strong opinion of Botterill right now you probably just need to calm down.

The Sylvania finally kicked the bucket eh?
