I'm happy for both of them. Stafford looks pretty good playing with a real center. That's been a fun line to watch.

Parts of Pennsylvania ain't exactly a melting pot. But for what it's worth, I believe him, interracial marriage and the subcontinent have never been his pet hatreds. My only issue with Bodhi is that it is a common Indian girls name.....but it should work here, sounds like the skier, right?

It was the same thing with Snow on the Island....Nolan preferred grissly vets and plumbers, Snow needed to see youngsters develop, so they had an impasse. This seems to be repeating....I'm sure Murray didn't recall Grigorenko for 8 min on 4th line duty. It looks like Whatever asset Hackett might will also get burned, There's an obvious disconnect organizationally. I did see Grigorenko win a draw cleanly that Weber couldn't handle in the offensive zone...what the hell is Weber doing with that offensive zone start? What coach in the league gives Weber that start? You think Murray likes that? BS coaching move. This stuff happens every night. I'm not blaming Webber either. Rolston wouldn't have done it. Why does Nolan? Go out there And spark us Webby.....get your 2nd of the year! Stupid and persistent stuff like this is driving me nuts.

Just called a cousin. Jersey is looking quite depopulated today....back ups at the Del water gap. Folks apparently heading for Ra-cha-cha, and not for Tahou's.

I don't know what to make out of you. All goalies are nuts.....but you might hold a trump card of your own.

Media? Naa... Just how I see it. A coach not cooperating with his GM for a third stint. I'm not cheering for this. It's just how I see it. Hell I could be wrong, but I'm thinking I'm right on this one. What GM in his right mind would hire Nolan? I guess you don't see it that way....and that's fine. Time will tell.

The dude's in-laws are from India....would Darsh, Sandeep, Krishna or Ahmed made you happier?

There are reasons he won't be an NHL coach again. Mostly he's showed he's not going to work with his GM. It's Nolan's MO. He's done.

Nolan has pretty much decided the NHL is a place where he will never coach again.

Good.

I'm tired of shootouts.. give us the 4x4 for 4, and the 3x3 for 3. Get it done.

I married well.

If it has a purple-blue aura, you aren't meeting your philodendron's emotional needs. Try talking softly in a soothing voice, and massage any new tendrils, and it will glow a sunset-gold faster than you can scoop Miracle-grow.

This season is like a year spent with the hope that your kid will fail out of college, now normally you would never want your kid to fail out of college, but she's taking courses in psychotherapy for cats and dogs, with a minor in reading the auras of house plants, and frankly you'd rather see her fail out and marry a nice guy than succeed at this crap.

Not Billion Dollar Babies?

They don't even bother to watch the games they are broadcasting.

Toronto is a disaster.

With a trade offer?

Because the organization has run out of time. He's NHL next year or waived.

I'm not sure I want to see GMTM lift his kilt in anger.

He's been totally mishandled. Blame Darcy.

14 games until the first round starts and we can watch some meaningful hockey.

So Vlad Putin is missing......I'm wondering if people in Russia have ever seen Weekend at Bernie's.

I don't know. I've had work emails. Id get so much junk in those things that they are about the most inefficient way of doing business. Now Hillary Clinton, with a public email,....can you imagine all the crap she'd have to sift through from everyone times 7 million. Hell Maud from Omaha could email her everyday. Just like her, if it was someone I knew or something important, I'd write my personal email on the card. Only way to get business done. (disclaimer - never liked Hillary much, but I don't see anything here).

We will have true centers, but not necessarily experienced ones. I have no reason to believe this team will be 40 pts better next year. Playoffs next year would be a great surprise. But there ain't much reason to expect it.
