    You can google anything these days. 

    Olive oil is a big part of both the Mediterranean Diet and the Longevity Diet and both have held up to numerous studies as the healthiest for long life. Just saying. 

    "You mean there was no deep fat, no steak nor cream pies nor hot fudge?"

    "Those were thought to be unhealthy. Precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true."

    and what a live they will have 

    Side effects of olive oil includes acne (if used excessively), can show acute allergic reactions in people sensitive to it, skin rashes, breaking the skin's natural moisturizing abilities in case of dry skin, blackheads, inflammations, gall bladder stones, minor to moderate diarrhoea.

    Sounds like it's best not to risk it.

    I am not a Doors fan, but this is great.

    Also, great is the first glimmer of light after totality in your avatar.  Great to see that too, my friend.

    My son took that picture.  He got some really good ones.  He rented some $4000 lens or something for the day.

    Meruelo is a delusional narcissist that won't admit defeat despite his ineptitude and toxicity.  He'll pretend he still owns a franchise with zero hockey being played.  He still thinks he's the lone savior despite everyone and everything in Arizona refusing to work with him.

    The NHL is simpler: it's always money.  They can get Meruelo an expansion team or a moved team for him.  Or they can plug in a expansion team into Arizona with a different owner and then either buy the IP rights back from Meruelo or just plug in a non-Coyotes franchise without the rights.  They don't give a *****.  Money over everything.

    Yeah, I thought about giving someone else a franchise and letting him sell the naming rights to the new owner for something stupid like a hundred mill.

    Will Salt Lake City have a new team name? 

    In short, yes.  The former owner, Meruelo, owns the rights to the Coyotes name and logos.

    Interesting point.

    I don't know the details, but it seems like the Meruelo deal is kind of like what happened to the Cleveland Browns... the team moved, but the franchise was deactivated and stayed in Cleveland.  The old team was assigned to a new franchise, the Baltimore Ravens.

    So when the Browns started up again in Cleveland, all the franchise records stayed with them.

    100%.  If anyone is interested in understanding how hockey in the desert really fell apart, read these, especially the first one.  ***** ownership from minute one.  If you had any shred of thinking that the municipalities or the arenas or the fans or the sponsors were to blame for the final death knell, get corrected.  Meruelo's squad ran a toxic and inept organization that ruined employee, partnering company, sponsorship, hockey management, player, media, and government relationships.

    Yeah it seems odd that the NHL let him keep the Coyotes name and logo, and I believe also he has franchise rights in Arizona for the next 5 years if there's an expansion.  If he was so awful, why nut just cut ties with him altogether?  The only thing I can think of is that by offering those things agreed not to fight the sale.

    Where's @nfreeman with a "this isn't necessary" response. Dude, do you seriously think you can cast the first stone? I recommend some rigorous meditation and self reflection.

    He's going on and on and on about.  We get it:  He thinks Kevyn lied to HIM.  Personally.  And he doesn't like it.  Can we move on now?

    To be honest, the real problem is that there's very little going on in Sabreland.  Okay, Lindy was hired.  But there will be few, if any, roster changes before the playoffs are done and we're all ready to start next season.

    First time I've seen this.   As a huge fan of The Doors, this is incredible.  Thank you. 

    When I first saw it a few months ago I played it over about 10 times.  He really nails the Morrison impersonation.... like uncannily so.

    You want me to say deliberately deceived his audience instead? Adams knowingly and purposely made it sound like he conducted a more extensive search than he clearly did. They wanted Ruff and they got Ruff. 

    I don't care if he said the moon was made of cheese.  If Lindy Ruff takes the team to the next level, I'm not gonna be mad.

    Lindy’s interview with Marty today came across better than the big presser.

    Yep.  Just watched it.  Lindy's still Lindy.

    I don't think all of them were truly interviewed. They wanted Ruff and got Ruff. 

    Interviewed, as in, in-person meeting wearing a suit and all that?  Yeah, you're probably right.  Interviewed, as in gauged for interest and discussed what a given coach could bring to the team?  Yeah, probably a few, or if you believe Kevyn, at least ten.

    Doesn't matter really; it is what it is.

    If Kevyn decided to replace Donny, say, as a result of how he handled the player revolt against the fans, he had a month or so to talk to coaches that were unemployed.  I would imagine that in those discussions he stressed that any conversations had to be kept confidential; you don't talk about replacing a coach before that coach is fired.  Granted, leaks happen, but just because Gallant, Berube, Boudreau, etc., kept their mouths shut doesn't mean they weren't interviewed.

    Where they’ll clash is those times when Jeff freelances.

    Part of any high-performing offensive player is creativity.  Doing the unexpected gives an offensive player an advantage.  I think Skinner's version of creativity is off the map compared to what other players do.  For a period during the 2022-23 season, Skinner's linemates were in sync with his style and the Tuch - Tommer (/Mitts) - Skinner line was wildly successful at scoring goals.

    So we know Skinner can be part of something like that.  But his linemates need to have some idea what he's going to do, and he needs to support what his linemates are doing, for the line to excel.  It's that latter part that Skinner struggles with (and part of that is team defense).
