A blind side hit is inherently an attempt to injure regardless of whether it's late or there is contact with the head. There's a rule for it already. The league is just full of dinosaurs like you guys who like watching good players get hurt.

That's not the point though. Marchessault shouldn't have to be looking for Wilson. Wilson is a good skater with good reflexes and the skill to make good clean hits. He's more than capable of policing himself and not blind-siding a player. He just chose to do it anyway, because he's a scumbag. Those old cliches like "head on a swivel" and not "admiring passes" only go so far. They work just fine if the hits are on time and from clean angles. You get blown up on a clean hit for not paying attention? Fine. But at some point the players doing the illegal sh*t need to not be doing it.

The thing with a blindside hit is that it doesn't matter whether the target was the head, or if it was late, or if someone was actually hurt. Lining up a guy for a blindside hit is essentially the same as pointing a gun at someone. A blindside hit is automatically loaded with intent to injure. There's no other reason for it. Wilson could have elected to simply skate hard at Marchessault to close the gap and put some pressure on him. And then he would have peeled off and reset, as it happens a hundred times a game. But he didn't make that choice. The moment he turned to go after Marchessault it was obvious that he was coming in to blow him up. He was already too far behind the play. But that didn't matter. He saw the red mist.

Weezer did a cover of Africa by Toto because the internet asked nicely :lol:

Moving closer and closer to being taken over by some right wing propaganda factory like Art Voice was.

I'm not interested in Rinne.

For sure.

They're basically paying us with the number 3 pick to take his contract. I would even want them to retain some salary too.

Right. I wasn't joking when I said they'd have to add Price.

Carey Price

Screw VW. Except the Sportwagen and that new warranty they're offering is very enticing.

I'm the wrong person to ask anyway. I hate everything.

I would rather just do something like try to pry Gudlevskis away from the Islanders. Or sign Enroth.

Would he not take us to arbitration over term and win?

I won't buy a car with a digital speedo. I'm also on the fence about ever owning another car with a touch screen. Or at least not one that isn't easily replaced. I'm out in Rochester right now picking up a junkyard infotainment screen for my Impala because the dealer wants $1100 to replace it. Trucks aren't like this, especially if you're sticking to the lower trims. I understand a lot of truck buyers opt for luxo trucks, but there are plenty of us who just want something simple, durable, useful and comfortable. The initial pricetag, especially with all the manufacturer incentives, ends up making you look at a well optioned crossover like "this is a bad idea."

Just because it hasn't happened doesn't mean it won't. On a long enough timeline... And when it does, you're gonna be cursing AWD up and down. :lol:

AWD is a waste of money. Have fun replacing all four tires if one gets a flat. 2WD or traditional 4WD are the only options in my book.

As someone who owned a Suburban for years even though it was completely unnecessary, it's about comfort and ride height. Crew cab trucks with short beds are basically the modern replacement for the big family sedans of yore. They aren't for hauling.

Haha dammit dude!

Solo was really good. Maybe the best of the new Star Wars movies.

What if Tavares...

:lol:

It makes no sense, but I mean, I would take him...

Screw it. Going to see it tonight. Was surprised there were still seats available for the 6:30 at Maple Ridge. :beer:

I really need to spend some time watching videos and researching discs. I'm probably just doing a lot of things wrong :lol:
