I don't understand what's changed in Nolan. I don't remember him ever having this many personality clashes with people in the organization before.

Got better by sucking is different than tanking. Rectangles and squares.

We're talking about Sidney Crosby. Every other tank job is incomparable. There was no chance to tank for syd, or we would have seen this exact attempt from teams in 2004. Samson was NEVER the target. Never.

I think GMTM looks at it (emotionlessly) the exact same way. This is old school battlefield surgery. We're gonna wanna punch his lights out while he digs in to remove the arrow, but if we take those extra shots of whiskey and bite down hard, we'll make it through, and in the end we'll thank him.

Terry was too busy not signing Brad Richards to work the Leino Deal. I just looked over the signings from that year. Man, we were not alone. Leino, Ehrhoff, Richards, Connolly, Handzus, Cole, Gagne, Kaberle... Not one of these guys completed their contracts with the team they signed with.

Reasons not to follow through: Financial Survival of the Franchise : non-issue Media Sensitive Ownership that will take action based on Local Media furor : non-issue Fear of reprisal from the league for intentionally losing : non-issue with the signings, and Bettman sitting in the arena and flat out saying that no one is intentionally being bad this year Fear of the permanent loss of fans : non-issue, see "Bills, Buffalo" There was never a reason, never a reason, for him to do anything other than a full scale dive to McDavid. Even if it fails, we've lost nothing except one year of a middling-at-best finish. Certainly not necessary just 7 years removed from the President's Trophy and 4 Years from a divisional championship. The brilliance, the pure f'n genius of it is that the FA moves and the Gorges trade actually made the appearance of making the team better. Some saw through it, thought the team would be just as bad, but no one saw the team being worse, a lock for a top 2 pick. And the articles by the bought out players this week, just oozing with how badly they wanted to leave. F'n perfect. They had to go. GMTM had absolutely no choice but to buy out the contract of his best defenseman. I fully expect a new category in to be created by the Nobel Committee purely for Murray. Hell, they might even cancel the entire EGOT awards season and just rename the country "All Hail Tim".

This team is bad enough that the odds of getting McEichel are 99.999% (Allowing for the possibility one of them contracts Ebola)

What can I say, I'm a Democrat.

This team is a better lock for the title than the 95-96 Bulls.

So unbelievably amazing. Tim Murray is a ###### genius. From Benoit and Meszaros to Keeping coach who puts the hard working fourth liners in at crunch time. This guy built the perfect team for next year and beyond.

I see no reason to track these standings any further. There is no possible way we don't get McDavid or Eichel.

Do they still fly the A-10's out of Fort Drum? #regionalize

Now there's a band name.

I was trying to figure out where Biodork had joined the conversation.

He appointed a doctor as Surgeon General, and that is getting block because apparently gunshot wounds are not a medical issue. He's just trying something different. (I'm not a fan of the choice either)

You totally pwned those n00bs

I had one of these moments on Thursday. My boy messed up my neighbors flowers, I walked him over to apologize and offer to help clean up. Neighbor said to him, "thank you for apologizing, No need to help, I'll get it cleaned up." He burst into tears.

:lol: fantastic.

I believe we have a moral obligation to get this movie made.

With a Hurricane churning in nearby...

We should a least wait until there's room on the roster. Maybe after Beano and The Mess get waived, or worse, discovered in South Buffalo.

That's right. He was financially better off being bought out, and would get to choose his next team, so it was to his benefit to block any trade anyway, right?

Scott's face as he skates away. You can see him rerunning the hit over and over in his head to try and figure out if he's gonna get boned again. I feel bad for him. FWIW, the ice sheet to the back of the head is what knocked him out.

I think the evidence of gaps in the Dallas PPE procedures more than warrants this. Beyond that, you don't wait until he has signs. At that point he's contagious. Now, if he was a lab tech from Emory, where there is strong evidence of a solid protection and isolation program, I think it would be an overreaction.
