  1. Wasn't drafted 1st or 2nd overall. That said even if you include Larkin, Jack is only 2pts behind him and coming on strong.

    I know that about Larkin, but I think he truly belongs in this analysis.

     

    And thinking a bit more broadly, remember when people talked about McDavid possibly going to TO and how great that rivalry would be? The real rivalry could end up being Bflo-Detroit with Jack-Dylan.

  2. That's why shape means more than weight.

     

    Hey.  I'm in shape.

     

    Round is a shape, right?

     

     

     

    I'm that rare guy for which BMI is right on.  When I'm in the obese range, I feel like .  When I'm in the overweight range, I feel kind of meh.  When I'm in the normal range, I feel :w00t:

  3. What are you doing to lose weight? 

     

    I'm thinking about trying some sort of meal replacement plan. Still researching.

     

    Using MyFitnessPal calorie counter.  Everything that goes into my mouth goes into the tracker.  I put it in before I eat it, so I can stop before exceeding my limit for the day.  It has a phone app so I can take the calorie counter with me everywhere.

     

    Breakfast and Lunch are easy; I pretty much have the same thing for breakfast most days- cereal and milk- and I pack a lunch for work (including some snacks for before and after lunch).  If it's not in my lunchbox, I don't eat it.  Typically I save half my calories or more for dinner and dessert which means I can eat a reasonable meal.

     

    The other thing is I have my Strava activity tracker linked into it, so it gives me credit for bicycle rides or walking the dog to earn extra calories.  So even if I do go over I can still get back under the limit by riding my bike an hour or two or whatever.

     

    I've used it before with decent success (dropped 30 lb.) but got lackadaisical about it after a while and just stopped doing it.  But I know if I stick with it, it works for me.

  4. So on another forum where I post, they have a "tell a lie about the poster above" thread.  The point is you make up outlandish stories about people and it's kind of fun.  Anyway, I said the woman who posted before me "Drinks shots out of the thumb hole of an old bowling ball."

     

    I decided to add a visual, and what do you know?  Apparently all the photos of that particular activity come from Bills tailgating.  So I ended up using this picture.

     

    You're welcome.

  5. Well I'm down 2 pounds since the start of the year.  Not surprising really since I was eating like a pig over the holidays and started following my calories with a tracking app this week.  The depressing thing is the app projects forward and tells you what you'll weigh in 5 weeks and it's still nearly as heavy as I was previous to this peak.  But hay, every journey begins with a single step.

  6. Are a bunch of washed up vets really doing anything to prevent this?

     

    Yes, and here is why:  The younger guys are bound to get frustrated and impatient.  Our vets are setting the standard.  Sure they're terrible on the ice this year, but they come to the rink every day and set the example for work ethic and professionalism that the kids need to see..... in spite of their collective off year.  This is something I think is lacking in EDM.  I think ROR will prove to be far more valuable than what we see on the ice, for much the same reasons.
