So Marcus is a healthy scratch, Flynn is on third line and Omark is on top. Why not. I really think they should give Miller a normal stick and see how he does on the top line. Everyone else has had a stint there.

Seahawks made the Broncos look like the Bills

Well that was a memorable start to a Superbowl.

The interesting thing here is that the government payroll has begun to shrink. There are 3 for 1 hiring freezes in place in many agencies. I think the true statement about the IRS is that they are NOT staffed to enforce the provisions and they WON'T be.

Man what was Obama thinking? Why would you sit through an interview with O'Reilly during the middle of superbowl coverage? O'Reilly is about as disrespectful as anyone I have EVER seen interview a sitting President. This is so F'd up. This is Superbowl coverage time... Shameless I now know what myopic duchebaggery means.. Shame on you Fox. There is a time and place for politics and THAT was not the time nor the place.

I agree with you. I don't know how anyone can say, fact certain, whether we have crossed a financial rubicon with the ACA. I certainly understand people thinking one way or the other, but avowing it seems premature and based on intuition/reasoning, not facts or real data (which doesn't exist yet).

I am convinced that the true costs of the ACA good/bad/indifferent won't be known for some time. The only folks who truly know what is in there are the health care industry and their lobbyists as they work to implement or circumvent it.

Good question. I think the answer is 20-30 year olds.

How about these 10 things lifted from US News and World Report: 1. Goodbye doughnut hole. Medicare drug plans (Part D of Medicare) stop providing insurance to people after their claims for covered drugs hit a certain level ($2,970 in 2013), and coverage doesn't resume until spending hits another level ($4,750 in 2013). Health care reform is closing this doughnut hole in annual stages, and it will be totally closed by 2020. Savings to Medicare beneficiaries will be in the tens of billions of dollars. 2. Free Medicare preventive services. Health care reform greatly expanded the menu of free preventive services to Medicare consumers. 3. Free preventive services to all women. Health insurance plans have added eight women's health benefits because of the law, in areas including breastfeeding, contraception, domestic violence, gestational diabetes, HIV screening and counseling, sexual diseases and wellness visits. These benefits are free, meaning they involve no co-payment or co-insurance, and women don't need to meet their plan deductibles to use these free services. 4. Pre-existing conditions. Beginning in 2014, no one can be denied health insurance because of a pre-existing medical condition. 5. Premium equity. Insurers can't gouge people with pre-existing conditions by forcing them to pay unreasonably high premiums. The law also limits insurers' ability to impose age-related premium increases for private coverage. 6. End of pre-existing restrictions on children's access to health insurance. The law has ended insurance denials based on pre-existing conditions for the roughly 20 million children under age 19. 7. Adult dependent insurance coverage. Adult children up to age 26 can now continue to get health insurance on their parent's policies. 8. Insurance payout limits. The law will end lifetime limits on insurance payouts. It also has been phasing out annual coverage limits, and these will be completely outlawed for insurance plans taking effect next year. 9. Minimum medical loss ratio for insurers. Health insurers must spend at least 85 percent of their premium dollars on health care (80 percent for smaller group plans) or rebate shortfalls to consumers. 10. New consumer health coverage reports. Consumers have begun receiving a standardized report explaining their health insurance. This seemingly modest accomplishment is actually a big deal. For the first time, different health insurance plans have to present their coverage details in the same format, using the same language. Consumers can now accurately compare different health insurance plans.

Great news. I had given up hope.

Myers you earned that -1

That McGinn kid likes to play close to the net.

Back on the perpetual PK

Should have started Enroth.. Now he is in mop up roll

Well that goal helped my fantasy team at least

They are the kind of team I hope the Sabres turn into someday soon. Nice PP there.

That is superfluous equipment for John

Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye.

I don't think there is any chance he starts. I believe Quick has it locked up.

Just checked in on the game.. sheesh.. Coors... Bilge beer..

At the end of the day, for me, he is too small, to be long term effective. If they choose to keep him, fine. If they choose to trade him, fine.

Stick a fork in Mr Christie, your Presidential ambitions died in a traffic jam in Ft Lee... Incredibly stupid.

With that lineup, might as well start Enroth

I agree with the bolded. Not sure it started out that way, but it sure seems like it finished that way.

I stopped watching most of the games this year. I can't go on a two-year moratorium. If they ice this kind of team next year, I'm canceling my Center Ice. I paid for crap hockey this year; I won't do it two years in a row. I can always watch the Caps here for free.
