  1. Both teams are huskies.
  2. In terms of points per game, Tage Thompson is producing at 156% of what he did last year. That's way more than 110%.
  3. My house is new construction. It's amazing how much was caught on an inspection. They mass produce these damn things and cut every corner imaginable. It's been 7.5 years now and I'm still finding the random "I can't believe they did that" spots.
  4. Yeah, I was thinking of two possibilities as I read it. For the person flipping the house, you either have a person who either knowingly hires crappy contractors or has no idea about the quality of the work. At the end of the day though, I don't care how hot the market is, if someone won't allow an inspection, they're more than likely looking to cut corners.
  5. Which expansion era are they talking about, the initial one in 68 (Philly and co.) or the one that started with the Sharks? I'd imagine that second one would be a boring list, but I've always thought of that one as its own expansion era.
  6. On top of the people trying to take advantage of someone, then you also have the tons of shoddy work that is out there.
  7. Yeah, if I'm told an inspection is a no go, I immediately think scam.
  8. Do ratings mean much of anything anymore now that so much is streamed?
  9. It has to be Bob Cole, right?
  10. Have most of the dud games at home been in front of the smaller crowds?
  11. How much of that position change is coaching genius vs. pure desperation? I'm not sure that I can get to the point where I'd say that no other coaching hire would have made the same move. He's a good fit for the group, but I don't want to throw all the credit his way. A coach doesn't change a team from one of the slowest in the league to one of the fastest.
  12. Maybe he’d come back to be our #2 center. Oh wait, he’s producing at the same rate as Cozens, so maybe that would be the #3 center.
  13. The league just got their chance to right there wrong with Dahlin and the all star game since Matthews is hurt. Instead they replaced him with Barkov since Florida is the host.
  14. I thought butt end too, but I don't know how two refs can watch a bunch of replays of a butt end and then call it roughing.
  15. I would expect players and front offices to be somewhat clued into what is going on... not to mention any of the other organizations they're running. That's a ton of people who could at some point at least throw some speculation out there. I'm not the type that is ever going to be watching a second of their social media, but if they haven't said things already, that's incredibly impressive.
  16. That and Hamlin’s heart stopped beating on national tv.
  17. It’s easy enough for a person or two to keep it quiet. There has to be a much larger number of people who do know here and it’s amazing that nothing has leaked out at all.
  18. Here's a quick summary of the conference call I just had. Me: I talked with person X. This specific task was not done. Co-worker: That task definitely should have been done ahead of time. You should talk to person X and see if it was done. Me: I just talked with person X an hour ago. It was not done. Co-worker: Well you should talk with person X to see if it was done. Can we get shrader in touch with person X? I say co-worker, but that person is someone way up the management ladder. It's good to know that they're not paying attention.
  19. Starting guys in their home town. Against their former teams. I feel like these kind of things are pretty common. I know they made sure Comrie got the start in his hometown of Edmonton earlier this year. If the team ever happens to be playing on a night where stone tablets and chisels are given away, you just know Anderson is getting that start.
  20. 1. Have career season. 2. Get mega-contract. 3. Blow career season out of the water I feel like we don't see this sequence all that often.
  21. They were supposed to be this generation’s Brady and Manning. Josh may wind up being Phillip Rivers.
  22. Google maps?
  23. Two skaters from the rags getting votes in doesn’t look all that great either.
