See, I would have guessed vampire. So you scare them off with the bright light. Wait, maybe that's a gremlin.

Is that Akroyd as a creepy old guy? I have no idea why that's actually coming to mind right now.

So it was you?

Somewhere in the ballpark of 15 years ago I almost hit now captain of team Canada Marie-Philip Poulin as she no look jaywalked in front of my car.

Autocorrect can be so strange sometimes.

It’s kind of funny. If you go to hockeydb and see the trending player searches, it’s blatantly clear that people are cheating at that game.

Why did a bunch of NFL players sign up to do an ad for soccer? I mean, I know the answer is money, but I feel like sometimes the PA needs to step in and ask if this is really in their best interest.

I just wish dealerships would cut the ***** with that first offer that is a slap in the face. I was shopping to lease a new car maybe 2 months ago. The initial offer I got was so horrible that I immediately got up and walked out. Sure, I can negotiate it down, but if they’re going to start with something that insulting and predatory, I’m not wasting another second with them. I ultimately settled on a different car, but out of curiosity I went to another dealership to check out that same car. Their initial offer for the lease was $6000 lower.

I wonder if Tony ever throws his hat back into the ring. I don't know that the Wisconsin gig is long for this world.

Good candidates? After Larson I see only one lengthy NHL career. And on a side note, why on earth do I actually remember the name Dean Sylvester?

I'm not really listening to anything out there, so I have no idea if that's the rumbling or not. I just think with everything we've seen from him over the years, he doesn't look like someone who wants to stay there.

I don't think they move out Nylander because they already know that Matthews doesn't want to stay.

We also gave Nashville a 4th round pick along with Gaustad. Don’t look up who that became.

Paging @inkman. @inkman, you have a call on the white courtesy phone.

If you're over the age of 3, you hate those evil rat birds. But anyway, I'd say back to free agency talk, but it's pretty much done at this point. Are we even past the point of teams loading up on AHL bodies?

The thing that drives me crazy the most on any conference call is how many times I hear the word “like”.

Unless that living creature is a canada goose.

There can't be too many drafts where you can say that the best player was a goalie. Who else would even be in the running, Felip Forsberg and Morgan Reilly? They're good players, but if those are the names you're mentioning as the best, that pretty much has to be one of the worst drafts ever.

Strangely enough they called a day after I posted this.

This kind of speculation is reckless and dangerous. Let it play out on its own.

How many of their kids are designing stupid t-shirts and hats? Can they share the Fredo role?

And based on your username, I'm guessing you are probably well aware of how a state income tax makes it a bit harder to convince someone to sign in Detroit for a slightly more team friendly salary.

You know what's more than $3.249? $3.25. My son opened a door for the first time yesterday. This one is a real game changer.

How is it that after all these years, gas stations still haven't phased out the extra 9/10ths of a penny?

People have less to do during the winter. I doubt it would account for the gap in attendance we’re talking here, but I do think hockey would have the potential to draw more if it’s a decent level.
