Ahhh ok. I was wondering which revolution they were mentioning in that trailer, either the birth of the Empire or its death. That answers that.

Is it in that same timeline somewhere between III and IV? Ok, not as close to IV as Rogue One was, but somewhere in that window?

Thanksgiving

Can they bring a guy on the trip with them without actually calling him up? I forget the CBA specifics on that one, but you'd think they might make exceptions for big trips like this one.

Somebody just got a massive cap exemption if they can hold off his return until playoff time.

It happened in DC.?

It's also nice to know that we probably have to lose 10 defensemen to get down to 2006 levels.

It's a shame he'll never hit UFA status. Things like this would put us on his list.

That's really my point with the comment. Bales is probably a big help, but it's one of many things that has sparked the fast start. I hope he is in fact the real deal because I'm still not convinced we have a starting goalie on this team. A 60/40 split can take them places in the regular season, but it can also catch up to you during crunch time.

What about the year before, when he was also with Carolina?

Next you’ll tell me you microwave bacon. Heathens.

Are you suggesting that Byfuglien (did I get that right?) would have to clear waivers too? If so, that's not the case. Veterans who sign mid-season need to clear waivers before playing, so that's what happened with Sbisa. Dustin is already under contract so it's not a concern with him. He's basically the equivalent of being on IR right now, a member of the team, but not counted against the roster limit. Now if you're saying they brought in Sbisa as a replacement, I'm not so sure on that one either. They needed the body, but they'll quickly cast him aside should Dustin decide to return.

10 games/24 days, but if it's like regular IR, it's retroactive. If that's the case, he's already fulfilled that criteria and can come off of the list at any point when he's healthy. They'd have to be back under their adjusted cap (including the Hunwick-related overage they're allowed) at that time, which is does easily with Borgen and/or Gilmour sent down. So really, this move really doesn't mean anything. As dark stated, it was required to call up Borgen.

You've probably nailed it right here. He'll be up as an emergency body and then will go back after the game.

Give me a snow storm any day.

Don't tell me what to do!

I think it may have been the northeast division at that point. This is where we need @Taro T to chime in. He always seems to have those details.

How is the coaching situation working out so far? That has to be a tough one for the team, not having a true head coach.

Too much blood flow to the calves can do that. And yes, I know how people are going to spin this "too much blood flow" comment.

My point wasn't about how to change the story once Fisher died. It was about the poor writing decisions in that movie. They managed to screw up heroic sacrifice twice. The first I mentioned, but then later Finn almost had his moment and then they botched that one too. He's going to sacrifice himself to take out the shield buster thing but that's bad, so instead an Rose crashes into him, taking both of them out of the fight and allowing the shield to get destroyed. Why was that the happy solution from the rebel point of view? They so horribly ruined Finn's character development in that movie, then they also ruined his almost redemption.

I still can't adapt to this world where the NFL trade deadline actually has meaning. I have absolutely no clue what the market is, but they do still have some time if they do want to add a WR.

All these Expos references make me think we're suddenly the biggest failure from the Adams division. Both the Whalers and the Nordiques suddenly have cup wins. Apparently the Senators were in the Adams for one year and hey, even they have one.

You want a better ending for Leia? Give her the heroic sacrifice instead of Holdo. That was one of the many things that bugged me about that movie. If you want a sacrifice to mean something, it needs to be someone we actually care about. She was practically a red shirt in that movie. It should have been Akbar, springing one last trap of his own. The new trailer gave me a sibling vibe from Rey/Kylo.

So is he saying he moved out before anything happened? I realize he won’t be in the house for a very long time, but publicly handing out your address like that isn’t a great idea.
