    I guess maybe there is some kind of badge of honor with tanking in a less offensive way? I for one am glad that DR and GMTM left as little to chance as possible. If you're doing it, do it all out.

    If you don't think they tried their best to run to the bottom last season I don't know what to tell you. Still you are correct, there is no such thing as a half season tank. Tanking is a full season, full commitment proposition. And we did it better than anyone.

    On a pure value of pick basis the Leafs were punished by only committing to a season and a half tank, and thus ended up with two of the top five forwards in consecutive drafts. By committing to two total tanks we were rewarded with two of the top three forwards in consecutive drafts. On one level I love the fact that the Leafs won. This whole nonsense of dicking with the lottery rules was supposed to discourage tanking. Yeah, good luck with that NHL.

    No it wasn't better than ours. Unless you think Matthews/Marner > Reinhart/Eichel. They were certainly handsomely rewarded as you should be for a successful tank, but I like our results better.

    Believing in jinxes and bad juju is pretty much the same as believing we were destined to beat the lottery odds.

    Lol. Well this won't discourage tanking now will it? I'll take Rhineheardt and the Tower. F the Loafs.

    One last simulator.... Buffalo Columbus Edmonton.

    If we move up its gotta be to #2, right? That would be appropriate.

    That's great. Good for him.

    One of my least favorite Rush songs....but let's get this on! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZmK4PKrJ60

    On the Howard Stern show no less... :P I was never a huge Prince fan, but I certainly recognize his immense talent. This article should speak to anyone who has an artist who has been the soundtrack of their life. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/entertainment/arts-culture/article74458597.html

    Gotta follow the Denver model and go all in on punishing the QB. If the four game suspension stands, maybe the jets, fish or us can dethrone NE this year but I'd rather he just get Theismanned into retirement.

    Daryl Talley loves the pick.

    GMTM rubbing off in DW...bills moving up. This is the move that ends the irrelevance!

    He told Terry to tell Doug to take Shaq.

    I thought three was waaay worse than the terrible twos. There was a funny FB meme awhile back about how "3 year olds are ass-holes"

    Having kids can be the best thing you ever do, but raising them will unquestionably be one of the hardest jobs you ever embark upon. I have a friend with two kids under three and he is always saying how he "can't wait" until they're my kids age (11 and 7). I just shake my head a try to tell him that it really never gets any easier, the challenges are just different. And I know going through the teenage years ahead, with my daughter especially, very well might kill me.

    Steel Panther show tonight in Raleigh. Always an awesome display of superior musicianship mixed with raunch that would make a porn star blush.

    Fuggin Brad Park. And why couldn't Andre Savard move a step to his left and take that one to his junk? I seem to remember that was an afternoon start for that game maybe? I know I began watching one game that series at school after we talked (berated) our teacher into letting us watch.

    First try: 1. Edmonton 2. Buffalo 3. Arizona I think I want this to happen more than the Sabres winning. All the hand wringing and dicking around with the lottery......and nothing changes.
  22. Claude_Verret
    They might, but the colors could ruin the suspense. Didn't the NBA used to do the card thing and then when they came to a team that wasn't in its expected slot, they jump to the top three reveal?

    Revisit when Jack is 23-24. He's just a pup.

    Assquatch is a stand up dude. He tracked me down to give him my charity so he could pay on the bet. A bet that ended up much closer than I anticipated.

    A lot more than can be reasonably expected goes right for them. I think bubble playoff team is a reasonable expectation.
