Contempt

I would love to move that contract in a hockey trade but nobody will take it. The teams that he could help don't want a hockey trade and don't have the money to absorb him without moving money out.

Excessive use of mayonnaise in violation of the Geneva Convention.

I dunno, when a couple select posters get into it it feels kinda similar

Self flagellation

Just about everywhere. It will be there too. Can't legitimately argue belief that life or property was in jeopardy, particularly in a place where everyone has already passed through security and metal detection so you have no reasonable expectation that the other person does or could possibly have a deadly weapon. Those laws also require equal levels of force when defending yourself. The loudmouth, though obnoxious, didn't touch the other guy let alone throw punches. One of those instances where if it was one word against the other it might work, but the video is pretty clear who initiated the physicality and who escalated the incident to a level requiring self defense. Hearing words that make you angry isn't a justification for a stand your ground defense.

That's an assault all day.

I think it depends how you use it. I've used Google and YouTube to learn how to do quite a lot of things to solve problems for myself. Auto repair, HVAC repair, water heater installation, hardwood floor installation, washer and dryer repair. Etc. But in terms of googling for answers to specific questions then just copy pasting the first response, absolutely huge problem. I see it every day. Lack of intellectual curiosity is what I'd call it.

It is.

Also, player agents don't get paid in verbal agreements. This won't happen, the consequences of such are way too big.

This violates many rules. Many

Me too, but being my ride home from the bar on a regular basis wasn't on that list. It's more like, can you pick up the kids from swim practice because im stuck at work or can you drive me to the airport.

It's lack of problem solving and responsibility. It also completely prevents the spontaneous hook up if your dad is your ride home to your childhood bedroom when you are over 21. These aren't kids anymore, these are full on adults. Parents shouldnt be doing that anymore unless it's an emergency nor should they want to. Go. Be an adult. I don't need to be part of it.

The bigger issue I see is the lack of problem solving skills. We all used to spend a lot of time and energy and brain power trying to figure out how to not get caught doing something or how to acquire something we couldn't acquire. This is real life problem solving. We couldn't ask adults for help and we got it done. Buying beer, getting home from foreign countries, evading the EZPass because it would record when you crossed over a bridge you were told not to cross with the car, etc etc. My oldest is 16 and hasn't even attempted some of the things I'd mastered by that age. Some of that is good I guess, but he's going to leave my house with way less actual experience solving real problems and some of that stuff was just plain adventure. Figuring out how to get into the Sundowner at age 16 was a highlight of adolescence. Whatever. I'm old. Get off my lawn.

Pretty soon the only things you'll be able to do at 18 are join the Army, vote, and buy as many firearms as you can afford. Read an article the other day about vacation rentals and how many now won't rent to people under the age of 23, you can't rent a car until you're 25, a golf course near me requires you to be 21 to rent a golf cart. A freaking golf cart. They can drive themselves to the course but they can't rent a cart. Ok. My kids cut grass in our neighborhood and they can basically cut as many lawns as they want and charge whatever they want to charge. They bought a second mower last year to increase productivity. Thier only competition is landscaping services. Huge neighborhood, no other kids do it and most don't even cut their own. They want to save up to get a zero turn and really speed up what they can do. I get it but I'm dissuading them from that as one is going away to school in less than two years, but the younger one could pull it off alone if he then recruited some help.

Bring in Vegas and needing money probably isn't great either.

I don't pay for either so I don't care. I was answering the man's question.

Because we are expected to subsidize his football team.

Yachts don't pay for themselves. Price decrease. Lol. You're looking at a 5 percent bump at least.

And neither of those things should be the priority. Kane doesn't bring anything they need. They need defense. If Peterka is getting moved it needs to be for a similar level young defenseman.

Matt Ellis wasn't very good either and played 356 NHL games over something like a 9 year span.

Nope

But I've been told that he drives play and is this worth it.

And the plot thickens...

We will rebuild.
