You gotta think the Paralympic committee did some due diligence before signing up. I doubt they're as prone to making ridiculous decisions as the graft driven IOC. There's just not as much money in it.

If Congel really is the partner, I'm completely down the Drane Rabbit Hole on this one. At this point it's almost like the Billionaires Club is taking out Billboards in Buffalo reading "We are going to ###### you so hard, and there is nothing you can do about it."

Scott Congel. Wow.

I think anytime a rink lands a world championship it is a major announcement. I'm right on board with you on the sledge hockey. And this isn't just live sledge hockey, this is the very best sledge hockey in the world.

Sled Hockey is awesome.

Under $900k, no cap hit while they're playing in the AHL.

I would like to point out that this is an example of the things you can do when your owner doesn't care about profit margin. No harm to the team in terms of cap, protects an asset. The only loss is the money when he's playing in the AHL.

Not all tailgates have to become complete ###### shows. A little more enforcement of public intoxication laws, and most of the tailgate objections fall by the wayside. It would be nice to be able to take my kids to a game.

I know. And I don't care. That ice was the peak of American amateur hockey. That is where the junior evals should be, because that is the measuring stick.

Sometimes my brain says things, and then they get translated into written words, and then they don't make any sense.

dammit, I go camping with my family for 3 days and I miss all the fun. FWIW, way fewer ScopeNY signs in the North Country than I thought I'd see.

And Chicago would make a more convenient location for the Birth of Christ. There is some holy ground you just don't mess with.

My take: FAs: If there is a unique talent 30 or under that is not typically available in FA who is willing to entertain offers, you go after them. I'm talking the 1 in 100 FA types who are not available every year. But they must not be 31 years old on July 1. Beyond them, don't sign anything that you could get next summer. Rooks: I don't buy into the "pushed too hard too early so they failed" bit. Get them all up in the big leagues. If they fall apart, better to know what you have.

What choice are you talking about? Dude, you're losing it. :P

I'm sure he cleared it with the board before he did it. If there was any risk of his firing, he certainly would have put LD on the 23-man.

He's intentionally leaving a player who will not be able to play in 2018 off the roster in favor of youth because there is approximately a 0% chance of the team advancing out of group play even if they had Landon and Pele on the roster.

Launched. Everything actually worked (validation of wife's talent and my geekdom). Sales on day 1! Wife booked a last minute cabin in the ADKs for us and our boys for the long weekend to celebrate. Weather shaping up. F'n Fantastic.

So two requests for relevant stats go ignored, but we can get a looped video of a former coach beating a full time ahler over the head with a stick set to the Super Mario Brothers 2 theme. Swamp. You are my hero. And not just a little, all the way :-D Impossible. Those don't drop off at all!

:unsure:

Shut up is just the newest buzzword people use when they want people, who they already aren't listening too, to stop talking.

Not all the miller apologists have been involved. :ph34r:

Hasek would have moved back to Prague if his coach told him he was going to have to play in that system. Must See!!! Must Seeeee!!!!

Let's not start a holy war now.

Do you think the Coffee is why they cramp up in the playoffs?

I'm standing by my original prediction, even with the terrible end to this season. He's not getting a paycut, and he's going to get 5 years.
