And the Chicago Blackhawks, being naughty in my sights, shall snuff it.

Perhaps initially, they thought she was possibly going to die. Whereas later they realize it's just going to be a long slog of rehab and don't want that struggle to be public, at least yet. Of course, I am conjecturing here. Managing communications to 'others', let alone to an interested public and media, is tough during times of familial stress. Hard to know what to say to who. Maybe we cut them some slack in this case.

When me or my family is going through something difficult, I think it's reasonable to give some limited information ('health scare', 'substance abuse problems', ' family issues') and also ask for prayers/thoughts without going into any detail on what is happening within the family. I don't see why the Pegula's should operate any differently. They are not elected officials, nor do they have public shareholders. Sure, they own assets that are intimately tied to the public both financially and emotionally, but so far as I can tell Terry is still front and center in the public view (to the extent he ever is) and running the show, so let's just give Kim time to go through what she has to go through.

I like the pace vs. playoffs and last season chart quite a bit. Thank you for that. (I used to keep this chart on Excel at home for several years until the team crushed my spirit where I no longer bothered)

Loretta Lynn passed away at age 90. Legendary... RIP.

Actually, Jordan Palmer has gotten quite a bit of attention for helping Allen with his throwing mechanics and the mental part of being a QB. The thing about Allen is his athleticism. Not necessarily in the sense of speed/strength/size (although, he clearly has those) but rather his phenomenal body control. I think Allen is a guy who can be shown a tweak on his mechanics, practice it a few times, and it's burned into the circuitry to reproduce it that way going forward. Whereas normal athletes struggle to reproduce that form under game pressure and revert to bad mechanics and the subsequent issues those cause. I am convinced if he had gotten top notch coaching from HS through college, he wouldn't have dropped to 7th overall pick or been a polarizing prospect, he'd have been a dominant college QB and consensus #1 overall pick. Lucky for us that improvement in throwing the ball accurately did not happen until he became a Bill.

Come on man, Anderson was only 40 last year. He's 41 this year. Completely different. (I kid ,I kid...)

I'm confused. Seems like he'd have to go back to the WHL, not the AHL.

This week it's Elton John in Syracuse with my super fan 23-year-old kid. Bought tickets more than a year ago, moved since then, so now I have to fly back to go to the show. He is actually wearing an Elton John inspired outfit that he made, so it should be fun to see people's reactions.

Injuries. Several of them. When healthy, he'll be a replacement level goaltender or slightly better.

Just saw them at Red Rocks this past Thursday. Very enjoyable show. Some dancing but more of a musical adventure than pop concert. They did a version of When the Levee Breaks that I can only describe as prog rock bluegrass style.

Already had that guy on ignore but noticed it in your quote. Totally agree with your sentiment. If I say any more mods will remove my comment like they did last time I addressed this guy.

Tavares, Bob McAdoo, and who else? 😉

He's also the all-time leading scorer of the league.

Did something tonight I had been hoping to pull off. Waited until Mavis Staples, the opening act, took the stage and tickets on the secondary market dropped like a rock. Picked up row 34 center stage (face value over $100) for $40 each and then the Mrs. and I boogied over to Red Rocks and parked in the distant paw paw patch. Caught a taxi up the hill ($10) and made it to our seats to catch Mavis end her set with "I'll Take You There". Then we watched Bonnie Raitt, who is an American Treasure, and her band put on an excellent show. We headed out before the encore and hoofed it downhill about 15 minutes walking and beat the traffic that was just emerging. Time to walk the dog and get into bed for work tomorrow. Getting the hang of this living in Colorado business...

Best of luck with her. If you happen to be able to post a full body picture I'd love to see her. I'm a 'big dog' person and am fascinated with a Poodle-Newfie mix. (I have a Saint Bernard but she's a very petite girl at 110 lbs).

He was at camp going all out when he was hurt. He's under contract for the season. Understand your concern but perhaps he's earned the benefit of the doubt.

What I like about this topic is that in looking at the list of 14 players, aside from perhaps Tuch because he is a more established veteran, the other 13 would appear to be more likely than not to either establish themselves as contributing NHL players for the first time(JJP, Quinn Power), or have improved performance this season as compared with last year, or even their best demonstrated performance in their career. It's a lot of upside. Granted, it won't all come to fruition but it's very possible 3/4's of these guys move ahead in their career progression and this team makes a larger leap in the standings than the pundits expect. I'm excited to see how it plays out.

Scored a free ticket to see Lettuce w/Tower of Power and the Colorado Symphony Orchestra at Red Rocks on Wednesday.

Tig Notaro. But this discussion is about Kale Clague. Tig is more of a checking forward.
