I really agree. They pose match-up problems for a lot of teams. But that really isn't a team built for the distance.

Buffalo watches anyway, whether in it or not.

I got to see BB King a few times over the years. He never disappointed. Sad to see he has passed at the age of 89. Years ago I had a friend call me from the Kingston Mines where he went to see a John Lee Hooker show and BB King just showed up to share the stage. Cell phone technology was fairly new then, but for a few minutes I got to listen in on a dream come true. (though honestly, I couldn't really make a thing out, it was a pretty cool call). The King is dead. Long live the King.

The league is just going to hate the ratings from that Edmonton/Buffalo Stanley Cup final someday.

I'm hearing quite a bit of discussion about putting the red line back in play and the two-line pass rule back in the game. The logic: NHL defenses are now so far back to prevent the long breakout pass that it has killed 5 on 5 offense.

Good discussion. Just my opinion. I think Bylsma is not a coach that you hire to construct a team. He is the type of coach you hire when you don't want a coach to get in the way of an already good team. I think some team will hire Bylsma this year. Generally what I've like about him in the past is the open offense. Generally what I've disliked about him in the past are his defensive schemes (especially with a lead) and his line changes and dislike of adjusting his lines according to situation . . Not a bad coach by any means, and really my bias shows here, I don't think Bylsma wins that first cup unless he inherits an already disciplined team, though one that had gone stale, from Therrien. He was the perfect coach for Shero at the time - who knows, they might reunite in NJ.

Mike n Ike...........better than Ju Ju Bees

Rangers. Faceoffs matter.

I want Mike Weber in the organization, I just don't want him close to 20 min. Or necessarily in the lineup every night.

I'm enjoying Vogl's series.

Generally in newsrooms, the reporters don't write headlines. So I'd bet Harrington didn't write that. It is usually guys working with available space long after the story is filed. Maybe it's changed....but I doubt it.

May you all get 100,000 paper cuts and then spritzed with a Windex bottle full of lemon juice.

Sweet GWG. Just saw it.

I don't get it. I seem to be slow in this entire Jeopardy category.

I don't think It is a done deal yet. If McDavid says in his combine interview - I'm leaving Edmonton first chance I get...Eichel might be Edmontons better option.

Maybe he Skyped? Or Video talked? Or Snapperchatted? Or whatever the kids do. When I was young all I wanted was a walkie talkee.

There isn't enough vodka in the world.

I'm Not sure either

I'd feel guilty about that one.

I hear George Costanza yelling "Shrinkage!"

I've cut back on wings in recent years. But if I was to splurge........I'd be right back to Gabes.

Favorite Mel Brooks line: I believe my lower colon has something interesting to say about this.

She's not as pretty as Olga. Facial hair, and she might even have a nut.

I think you are thinking of Mel Brooks.
