So, they kept talking about efficiency, at a time that they let 40+ people go, while trying to “maintain a lifestyle”, and it’s not about money? Do I have that right?

People here have no input into their PowerPoint presentations.

It’s Housley. And he’s got a healthy lead on all the others.

They can’t cry money hardship as a reason for not making this steaming pile better.

If you really think that was Kim, then you really are just talking to yourself.

I don’t get this gif.

I absolutely mutherfunkin’ hate how unless it’s in the corners, we never attack the puck in the defensive zone.

That was a good stop.

Again, it’s semantics. We are allowed to have extreme views. We have that right as Americans. We are not allowed to be violent about them.

I gotta say, I really wasn’t planning on learning anything today. It was kinda cool.

Again, you are taking my term “extremist” and applying the meaning for “violent extremist” to it. That’s not how I meant it because that’s not what it means. You’re implied meanings are your problem, not mine. I know lots of extremists. I even agree with some of them at times. I often agree with you!

Now that is awesome. I know two people that sold their dirt bikes for twice what they paid for them. They both plan on picking up and upgrade for cheaper when there is a glut in the fall.

Ugh. That's a good take. I hadn't even thought of that. Now I'm even more depressed. Thanks, jerk. 😂

One month and 41 pages in, it was only going to go south.

Pretty soon, there will be a sh!t ton of people who come to the realization that they don't actually like what they've been killing time with the past year. With the end of Covid in sight, I plan on taking advantage of the flood of cheap recreational equipment for sale (bikes, ATVs, boats, snow machines, campers, etc...), by people who never should have owned it in the first place.

We're just having some fun. But the idea that they asked another knowledgable coach about Ralph's system and he confirmed that it's worth staying with is, well, hilarious.

Watching competent goaltending that we had is even tougher. Cal Peterson. Because Goaltenders take so long to develop, until we are personally good, drafting one from the NCAA is dumb.

This is just wrong. Hits like this don’t happen all the time. I’m not saying suspension worthy, but it was absolutely worth 2 minutes.

Kim, I heard you the first time.

Except for the teams that win.

Hi. My name is SwampD. Nice to meet. You are obviously new to the board and haven’t been reading my posts about officiating for the past 10+ years.

Yep. I was at work and didn’t see that. The NHL, of course, leaves it up to the refs. Rule 42 - Boarding 42.1 Boarding – A boarding penalty shall be imposed on any player who checks an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently in the boards. The severity of the penalty, based upon the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, shall be at the discretion of the Referee. There is an enormous amount of judgment involved in the application of this rule by the Referees. The onus is on the player applying the check to ensure his opponent is not in a vulnerable position and if so, he must avoid the contact. However, there is also a responsibility on the player with the puck to avoid placing himself in a dangerous and vulnerable position. This balance must be considered by the Referees when applying this rule. I have every confidence that a Sabre would have been penalized for that same hit.

Of course they aren't. I mean Why would they? Rule 603 | Boarding (Note) Boarding is the action where a player pushes, trips or body checks an opponent causing them to go dangerously into the boards. This includes: Accelerating through the check to a player who is in a vulnerable position, driving an opponent excessively into the boards with no focus on or intent to play the puck, or any check delivered for the purpose of punishment or intimidation that causes the opponent to go unnecessarily and excessively into the boards.
