  1. The radio call of Minny's goal... oy. I heard the puck hit something, it was that distinctive dead clunk sound, and I instantly knew the puck was in. Dunleavy said it had hit the side of the net, then a few seconds later went into his patented, "And the puck is in behind Lehner and Minnesota has a 1-0 lead" deal. Then Petey kept delaying waiting for a challenge that didn't come. I have no idea who shot the puck, where the shot came from, how it went in... Just dreadful radio. Seriously, just play the ice level sound. I will figure the rest out.

    The puck hit the post, rebounded out then hit Risto's skate to go in through the 5 hole. so, even watching it was a little awkward trying to figure out what happened.

  2. Maybe we could turn this into a media thread?

     

    This may explain why there's a ton of leaky info and improper info out there...

     

    2000 in America: 65,900 reporters, 128,600 PR people

    2015 in America: 46,500 reporters, 208,000 PR people

    (per @BLS_gov data)

    What that tells me is that messages are being more centrally delivered and then it takes more people to sugarcoat those sh!tty messages.

  3. Looking at the game notes in the BN: Is Franson still out from that boarding he took that a few posters here said he "sold"?

    He's still day-to-day with a strained neck. I actually think he strained it when he threw his head back trying to sell it.

     

    :devil:

  4. No. My guess is he's saying that he'll keep a high pick, deal a not so high pick. Planning for either scenario.

    I thought he meant far out years wise. Even he knows that eventually he is going to have to get players not picks.

  5. Part the first is a man who mysteriously knew what town or city each fan in the arena called home.

     

     

    If I was going that route, part the second would've been: An old man who often pleasures himself.

     

    Also, part the second is two words. First word in that combination is four letters.

    And the second word in that combination is also the name of something that helps people find love by swiping right.

    I don't know, if you jeer the tank, it would start some fires around here. Even if you did it nicely.

  6. A half season tanking effort last year, which to me isn't even tanking at all, puts us in grave danger of being the Coyotes and out on McEichel. Last year required a real and committed tank for the entire year, and we were rewarded for it.

     

    This year is allowing your young, inexperienced and developing core to learn in the school of hard knocks, and not close to tanking IMO.

    We have not been rewarded for it yet.

  7. This is what confused me. Peters would tell me how much of a loser mentality it was to root for losses during last season. Every week I had to deal with the jokes and now this.

     

    I understand if people are anti-tank both years, pro tank both years, or pro tank last year and no so much this year (I fall into this category, I think), but to be anti-tank last year, with who we had playing, and what finishing last guaranteed, and pro tank this year, seems odd to say the least.

    I don't think it's all that odd. Many of us were saying that this is actually how you tank the right way, or at least a more acceptable way. Try to win until the trade deadline, see where you are then act accordingly.

  8. Congrats, PA! Like others have said, you won't regret the purchase. 

     

    I'm more of a sleeveless cotton shirt kind of guy, but I can't echo the rest of this enough. You're bag is going to reek if you forget your stuff in it overnight and the smell is pretty tough to get out. Though being the stinky guy is definitely a strategy I've seen used in pickup and it works well. 

    And if you think you're bending your knees enough, you're probably half way there!

     

    After reading the GDT, I guess I was lucky that I had a playoff game last night.

     

    I thought about this quote all game and boy did it help. Everything felt better and was easier. :thumbsup:
