  1. Sure you do, if the price is right.
  2. I'm really looking forward to watching Samson this year and in the future. Samson and Jack will be the one-two punch through the middle that we haven't had since, well, ever.
  3. Welcome post-natal grinreaper.
  4. That's a crazy price. It'll be a buyers market for goalies
  5. Cap 71.4 Floor 52.8
  6. You didn't miss a thing. Congratulations, brother.
  7. I simply think that the tie would be (and should be) rather rare. If it finishes in a tie, it's a tie. But I think that overtime format would be a lot of fun.
  8. The overtime I would like to see. Hard stop at the end of the 3rd. 1 minute time-out. Drop puck 4-4 for 4 minutes. Hard Stop. 1 minute time out. 3 minutes 3-3. No shootout. Allow the tie.
  9. but at first, everyone thinks it just says JL.
  10. :) It meant something to this kid. http://static01.nyt.com/images/2015/06/21/us/21website-web/21website-web-superJumbo.jpg
  11. This doesn't happen without the need to protect slavery. The State Right right at issue is the "RIGHT OF PROPERTY IN SLAVES" and the Norths encroachment of that "Right" See South Carolina's document of secession: http://www.teachingushistory.org/pdfs/ImmCausesTranscription.pdf "These ends it endeavored to accomplish by a Federal Government, in which each State was recognized as an equal, and had separate control over its own institutions. The right of property in slaves was recognized by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them the right to represent, and burthening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves; by authorizing the importation of slaves for twenty years; and by stipulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor. We affirm that these ends for which this Government was instituted have been defeated, and the Government itself has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States. Those States have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection." That right is slavery. anyway...sorry, I know this isn't the thread for this. But we could
  12. GMTM takes the stage and for a moment stares the room down. For a brief moment the world is able to hear his interior monologue. "Behold as I slowly assemble my Juggernaut that will one day crush your bones." (14) Jack Eichel.
  13. I think he keeps it brief. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26xIN9T_FFk
  14. :) Specifically the Rights of States to protect their citizens' human property called Slaves, and the institution of Slavery.
  15. I love Nic. He's a 4th liner, but also an emergency D-man. Don't forget he's only been playing forward a few years. He's the dog that will chew through his own leash. 20 pts would be a bonus.
  16. I'm thinking 11-13.
  17. Basically preventing your opponent from gaining position and denying shots in those areas. Likewise, LAs teams worked like mad to win position and take shots in those areas on offense.
  18. Excellent stuff, Chz.... This linked from there ........ http://kings.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=456031 I love this little blog .......ACTM's home plate: By defending these five areas....you can limit grade A scoring chances. HOME PLATE That focus on defense that Murray has spoken at length about was evident not only in the players performance, but on the ice…literally. Murray and staff have painted five circles in the shape of home plate on the practice ice. “We focused on the defensive end, what I call home plate” Murray said of the five black spots in front of the goalmouth. “That is the mindset of what the players have to have. Taking care of home plate and eliminating some of those grade one scoring chances is a priority and that was focus today. “The dots are a reference point. When the puck is coming into your defensive zone, it is what I call home plate positioning. The prime scoring area is right there in front of the net below the hash marks, that is where we have to be defending.”
  19. women come and go talking of Michaelangelo....... But I'd argue The Waste Land ......."April is the cruelest month...."
  20. Just a thought. I don't think skating is just speed, but some skaters are just strong on their skates and almost impossible to knock off the puck because of their skating form. Dale Hawerchuk was never considered fast. Andreychuk and Sheppard had great balance - but were never fast. Sheppard could get a shot off while getting punched in the face.
  21. Although I find it in bad taste to talk about a member without him present. Are we left to prove to you Mr. Swamp that unicorns don't exist? :) :P
