  1. I'm w/ you on 716, definitely.

     

    There are so many options besides Chippewa, though.  And even Chippewa has a couple of places that aren't infested with overgrown adolescents.

    What's the homemade-by-hipsters sausage place right by the arena? That place was great.

     

    EDIT: just found it. Ballyhoo. Cool place.

  2. Jesus Christ on a goddam popsicle stick. (Not you, N'eo.)

     

    As the league is undoubtedly aware, athletes can do ALL sorts of coordinated physical things when they are suffering from the initial effects of a concussion. Skating, stick tapping, throwing a ball, flashing the glove at a puck, swinging a bit -- that sort of stuff can happen on a sort of autopilot. A guy who's been concussed is not always (in fact, is often NOT) the proverbial wobbly legged baby deer. 

     

    The NHL is stupid.

    Does anyone else think he may not actually be concussed, but is just using that as an excuse for doing something that even he has no idea why he did what he did?

  3. I think you guys are all nuts on Dunleavy. I like him.

     

    I just listened to all four goal calls. What the heck are you talking about? If you can't tell that we scored by them, then maybe you should switch over to the Spanish feed and listen to Andres Cantor call the game.

     

    Only once did he not say "scores" and he yelled "ties the game! Oh what a goal!" instead. Not that confusing.

  4. Same here. Really felt as if I was watching a game on NHL Center Ice w/ Direct TV. Picture looked great and never had a hiccup in the feed. Very smooth. Gotta admit I'm impressed right now.  

    It's not that different on AppleTV, but it's always been excellent. There are a lot more replay options, though. Still can't understand why they can't let you see video when you scroll. Every other app does that.

     

    The picture and flow is much better on the Macbook-HDMI-TV now, by a lot.

  5. Agreed and have for many years. Don't forget how lazy that guy Jagr has always been. It is almost the opposite is it not? I guess I only think of the great Euros, but really Lidstrom, Federov, Mogilny (who still played until he was 80)...How is this a stereotype? Is it because they were/are generally adverse to being concussed by hockey pugilists? 

    I think that's it.

     

    Although, there was this.

    :lol:

  6. One of the interesting things I've found over forty years of watching hockey: the concepts of "grit" and "hard to play against" entering the lexicon when discussing European hockey players. I grew up when Europeans were "soft". Of course, they never were. The triumph of evidence over prejudice!

    Yeah, that's always bugged me, too.

     

    Peter Forsberg, what a cream puff.
