  1. It's generally the case that the broadcasters are employees of the team. That's not just the NHL, it's most of the team sports in North America. I think the NFL is the exception for television broadcasts but they still employ the radio broadcast employees.
  2. Is he? Sorry if my hopes aren't up. I hope he is.
  3. I think you made the right call. I had done some internet shopping for cars but then my car started to show potentially serious symptoms and I decided not the put the money into it and just go out and buy a car. I know I could have done a better deal and that eats at me but the new car sure does ride nice.
  4. Should have just called it Darth Hyundai.
  5. Hopium springs eternal.
  6. So what did you get???
  7. Of the dogs we've had: Rat terrier mix from Humane Society A very overweight golden retriever from GR Rescue A stray puppy (looked like somewhere between a Pomeranian and a Golden) we took in after it fell into a friend's pool A stray beagle puppy that followed my sons home A stray hound-shepherd mix puppy that also followed sons home A stray heeler puppy that followed my wife home And my son's (who lives with us) dog, a border collie mix from Ft Worth Animal Control They just seem to find us. My wife says when the current dogs cross the rainbow bridge, no more. I'm not ready to accept that but I don't argue with her about it. If nothing else I would like to foster dogs, particularly older ones.
  8. It's the lack of noise that can be unnerving.
  9. They don't have to replace it. They can offset it.
  10. Two ways to make up those goals: Other players score the goals. The goals are prevented by playing better defense. But yeah, goaltending is part of the equation.
  11. This contract won't age well. I predict a buyout four years in.
  12. Oh, I'm not writing him off. Lyons.
  13. It almost feels like Kevyn has had the realization that Levi might not be the generational goalie he traded Sam Reinhart for. Levi truly has no leverage because he just hasn't shown yet that he is an NHL goalie. Even his biggest backers are recognizing the maybeness of his talent.
  14. How Daily Faceoff lines them up:
  15. No pressure, Juri. You got this.
  16. When the Texas Rangers built their new stadium (with a roof), the plan was to raze the previous stadium. It still stands, though, and is home to an XFL team and an MLS farm team.
  17. I think Lyon and UPL might be good enough... but they would both have to trend better than they've been in the past. I think they can but not sure if they will.
  18. Danforth? Jones? I guess I haven't been following closely this summer.
  19. Tom Lehrer, song satirist and mathematician, dies at 97 He put all his music into the public domain in 2020. You can download it here.
  20. Right, which is why I said "immature". The time phasing is important.
  21. Reino's relationship with the Sabres was fractured by Kevyn by giving him a one year deal in 2020 instead of locking him up long term.
  22. slightly modified it for you. I think Eich is a more complete person now than he was back then.
  23. The database is only as good as the integrity of the data.
  24. Unfortunately the die was cast when in his first summer as GM Kevyn didn't lock him up long term and only signed him to a bridge.
