Another great one last night. What a bummer that there is only 1 left.
There are two left
-
I think Walt knew the police were on the line and that warning was an act to distance himself from Sklyer - to make it seem like she wasn't involved as a last act to save his family.
This was the impression I got. He was crying when he did it, wasn't he?
-
This literally happened two months ago.
As opposed to figuratively?
It is because of people like D4rk that theOxford English Dictionary now has two definitions for literally, the first is what it should mean and the second is the new addition of a way to express emphasis :(
D4rk is making this world a D4rker place

I'd rather see a 2nd OT period with this before going to shootouts:
3-on-3 overtime seems to be gaining support among NHL GMs. Something you'd like to see? http://tw.nbcsports.com/b2c
3-2-1 point system. The last 5 mins of a tied game suck

I disagree with this heavily. Carnegie Deli is far more superior to Katz's.
Katz's is the more well known name, but Carnegie is better.
Serendipity III is great too.
Every word of this is as wrong as wrong can be.
Having said that, the road trip crew will certainly get a great meal at Carnegie.
:D I am tempted to try and go to both and determine the winner of this argument

Thanks for all the tips guys! I am aiming to be in Boston over 4th because it makes sense to be where it all kicked off (i'm also very tempted to buy a red coat to show who i support :P)!
I'm also trying to drive as many scenic roads as possible (the list of national byway things). However this makes North Carolina a bitch as atm i am driving from Vriginia to Richmond to virginia beach/Outer Banks to Richmond to the start of the skyline drive (or whatever it is called)
The only thing i know about Baltimore is what the wire taught me, which is why i originally avoided it :D - i'll add it back in. Im gonna try and hit the NJ/DE bars section as well.
Keep the tips coming guys :)

If you like painting, the Metropolitan Museum in New York is my favorite, Guggenheim has novelty because of the building, but is tiny
Air and Space in DC is good
If you like baseball, I would see it in Boston
Niagara Falls is great
If you like auto racing, I would see the Daytona Nascar race or the Talledaga race, maybe Richmond
Walk the Brooklyn Bridge, from Brooklyn into the city,
Walk from the North end of Central Park to Wall Street
If you are allowed to climb the statue of liberty, you must be on the first boat of the day.
If there is a cuisine you can't get at home, you can find it in NY
In my neighborhood, Monticello is good. Yorktown gives you a good feeling of space, as does Appomattox, because these three are relatively the same as they were 200 years ago. Avoid Williamsburg
Beware the South during the summer
Because of the heat?

Sport and history are good topics. Kinda cultural stuff. We are going for a month. At the moment a bare plan is forming of going Boston to NYC to Philly to Washington to Virigina to North Carolina (out banks area?) to Savannah (my order might be wrong here, my geography breaks down around the south) maybe charleston eventually to Orlando then probably onto the I98 for a speedy return to the airport.
Is anything in Buffalo? Obviously Niagara is near but as the Sabres won't be playing and it isn't football season either (right? - July) is it worth a visit? I have been the before, but that was basically just for a Sabres game
-
A few friends and I are planning a road trip down the US east coast next summer. So if you guys have any tips/places to visit (especially smaller/more obscure and unique ones) please let me know :)

If there is room i'd like to join - potentially prefer Blue, but happy to balance numbers

For being in Oxford, UK you don't write English very *goodly*, my friend ... :P .
What exactly are you saying in the part I underlined and bolded? That the idea is idiotic, or are the posters that voiced an opinion idiotic?
Anyway, I posted that IMO, he would not void his current contract, because he may not get another one. That's very different then saying he wouldn't get one.
Sorry, I was in hospital this weekend so wasn't very aware of what i was writing :P
I am saying the idea that a top goalie may not/wouldn't/thought he wouldn't/thought he may not get a top contract is idiotic (it wasn't aimed at you, others had also expressed the view). There is a market for goalies out there, only nobody really wants to trade for one at the moment. Every year there is a goalie who is red hot and comes from no where - i think teams are trying to hope that this will be them this year and so avoid trading for one. There are lots of young promising ones as well, but Miller will get a contract on July 1st and Luongo would have comfortably got a deal if he voided his contract.
Gillis just handled the situation appallingly and I think Luongo handled the situation with class. He never whined or complained to the media (please not the difference between that and answering a question honestly when asked). He has won an olympic gold medal, two president's trophies and taken his team to the stanley cup final but he gets very little 'love' from the fans

I really should have watched last year's episodes again before this season started. I've found I forgot a few things that happened. What is so important about the ricin at this point? Even though we saw Walt go back to retrieve the ricin in the first episode this year, I thought he had it in the first place, not Jesse. When did Jesse get his hands on it again? And why does Jesse care if he was about to leave for good anyways?
The ricin was important in last night's episode because (I think) Jesse realized that Walt was lying to him a couple of seasons ago when he said that he didn't poison Jesse's girlfriend's son. I will say that I am not rock-solid as to how Jesse figured that out.
A few seasons ago Jesse had the ricin in a cigarette in his pack (it was hidden there). Walt got Saul to (via Huell) lift it out of the pack. When the kid was poisoned with what appeared to be ricin, Jesse went off on one and thought Walt had stolen it and poisoned the kid. Walt told him that Gus had poisoned the kid and that he hadn't done it. He then 'found' it (although what he 'found' was actually a fake one had just made from salt) in Jesse's vacuum cleaner robot
In last night's episode Jesse went to spoke weed because he was stressed on the side of the road and realised Huell had bumped into him and lifted it. He then took out his pack of cigarettes to take a smoke and penny dropped and he realised that the last time Huell touched him he had lost the ricin cigarette
-
I don't think Luongo is a baby at all. The way Gillis handled the team is appalling. He basically told Luongo he was going for a year and a half and then traded the other guy. If this was Darcy you guys would not be calling the player out but calling for Darcy's head (more so). And to those who think that he would not find another job are idiotic. Why would he not get another job? He is still a really decent player.
I'm slightly concerned about this boards understanding of goaltenders
-
You say that, but if there's one thing I've witnessed it's the kids I went to school with growing into completely sounds adults despite the supposed decline of ethics. All that changes is perspective with age. Every generation thinks the next is doomed. It's just not true.
It reminds me of the quote by some professor:
"It is a well known fact that the average intelligence of freshman undergraduates has been decreasing for the last 200 years"
-
They are discussing the greatest call by Jeanneret in Sabres history... they are going with MAY DAY!!!
I being younger disagree and think "Now do you Believe" for the Pommers 06 OT winner is the it.
THOUGHTS???????????????
I agree - that whole play was fantastic. May Day would probably be second for me though - even though i've only ever watched it as the clip on youtube

Messier wants to add a million new hockey players by 2022: http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=428951
I think the NHL's expansion plans have gotten a little out of hand! :P
-
And in Regiers wisdom he saw fit to guarantee a roster spot to the kid who apparently won't have to battle to make the team. On the one hand they are trying to foster competition for jobs and on the other they guarantee this guy a spot. Not sure I agree with this.
Also, what more is there for the guy in the Q? He tore it up this year. There is no challenge for him there. Guarantee him a roster spot, let him then fight to get ice time
-
Girgensons proved he can at the very least compete with professionals. Grigorenko has proved nothing. Is he being judged unfairly? Probably but he literally showed nothing. Not one shift, not one deke, not one stride. We saw nothing.
The last game of the season (i think - near the end anyway), he was a beast - best guy on the ice. Proving you can play against professionals is meaningless, there are professional players in the UK, doesn't mean they would hold a candle to the AHL, likewise the AHL doesn't hold a candle to the Finnish league, and SM-liiga o the NHL
The rookie camp is concerning, but i'll reserve judgement till i see this season
-
I can't speak for Inky, but no one here has seen him do a single GD thing at the NHL level. He was a complete non-factor last year. Any expectations that anyone here has for him are based solely on draft hype, not on NHL-level performance (with full respect to SFiNS and anyone else who saw him play a lot in juniors).
You are right that he's young, and that's why I'm not giving up on him yet. But there is no reason to expect him to contribute anything this year.
Grigo was a non-factor playing for 4 minutes a game on a line with Scott (but i do appreciate he didn't domiante to earn more ice time. Girgenson has never played in the NHL and had a pretty mediocre AHL season (especially the first 48 games) by all accounts - yet people think he will be a stud? Grigo has proven more than Girgs
-
I know this isn't going to be popular but I'd move Grigs down near the bottom of that list. I think he'll be there by seasons end anyway.
Hoping youre not just going to quote his play last year, despite the fact he was the youngest guy in the entire NHL. Why do you say that?
-
Man I love Lidstrom. His play on the ice was so understated as well. Never that flashy, just pure effectiveness. I can't wait for him to make the HOF
-
Am I hearing things? Devine was afraid Ristolainen was going to be picked before Seth Jones? I thought Devine came off as a tool for suggesting the Sabres work harder than other teams, who show up at the draft with their list and, what?, play Yahtzee to kill the time? Quite laughable.
They took their Finnish scout up on stage - that is an understandable thought. I would imagine he would know how hard the other teams work on draft day, so could make an informed decision? I also don't think he was suggesting they work harder, but never stop having meetings and discussing the players. It is not unlikely that some teams, when the season has ended, create their list and stick by it as these guys won't play any more hockey or have any more tests to change their rankings
-
Show me where in that Video Terry says we are drafting X. In the first 1:36 mark we see Terry standing in a room watching highlights with the scouting department while they not him but they discuss players. In the second we hear Devine ask if they want to get tougher to play against in direct reference to Zadorov and Terry say I do. The interesting part is actually at the 2min mark where Devine and Regier talk about taking Risto and Pegula who is sitting next to them says nothing and is talking to someone else.
There is no evidence Terry directly is involved other than as an owner being interested in his team. If he was like, we should, or we can, or he would, or actually gave his opinion on a player, than I would agree but in this all he does is watch and answer a question. If I was owner I would go to every draft and want to be see how it all came together too but that does not mean that Pegula is saying we should get this or that. Other than answering "do you want to get tougher to play against" he doesn't speak.
Your conclusion is conjecture and circumstantial.
Not to mention, as he is footing the bill, i have no problems with him have an input in vague ideas such as "harder to play against"
-
Seems as though they may have had Ristolainen rated ahead of Seth Jones.
Yeah i thought that as well - that is the most interesting thing i found in that episode.
I'm loving these series, just wish they did it more

That's probably 10 or 11 minutes game time :( - i think we can write Phoenix out of the race for the President's
