Rob Ray is going to have some fun one liners tonight.

*****, no "do you know how I got these scars" GIFs.

He just might be the most important player on the powerplay unit right now too.

But outside of last year, the team as a whole was trending in that downward direction too. I'm not so sure it's much of an oddity.

What, no Peterka option? Just kidding. I hate the thought of Quinn in the pressbox long term (ie. more than a game or two), but there really isn't much of a choice at this very moment. Also, I normally wouldn't want 2 forwards up there other than for these long road trips. But with our cap situation, I don't think Sheahan is at the point in his career where he needs ice time.

This post makes me really wish the image was in alphabetical order.

A question for the AHL folks: how common is it to have two rookies sharing the net?

130s?

Which ones can skate out?

Perhaps you should read the second paragraph of the very first post you quoted, a post made by you. But enough of this little fit. I’ll stop asking prospect question in hopes of avoiding future tantrums. Now please have the last word. I know you require that.

I wonder how many cases of heat stroke they wind up with in the stands during some of these games. I'd say that beer really doesn't help with that situation, but stadium beer may actually be a good source of hydration.

Some things should never be touched. I'm looking at you, Detroit.

So it's not just mood swings, it's also assuming a demanding tone that just isn't there. I can see where the "constantly posting these updates" part may have been misleading. I meant specifically those on twitter. But anyway, I'm curious to see how often some of those bad games do occur, 1 in 10, 1 in 5, every other game? Hell, one flash goal for could come in the same exact game as ten disinterested defensive floating. So you may need to raid inky's stash to help relax a bit.

Would color on the shoulders change your mind? That's my big hang up on these ones. Also, is that royal blue or navy? I can't tell from the pictures. I have no idea what that means, so I'm definitely not in the target demo.

But Miami clearly doesn't care about the people in those seats anyway. They didn't get any shade added in with that renovation.

Ok Mr. Mood swings, I'm not bitching at all. I seriously wanted to know. Like I said, it's important information.

They must have. I haven't been in an arena in a while now, but I don't remember every really noticing who is advertising on the boards. I don't know if most people are like that. To me, it seems like the physical ads now have no target audience.

So something completely portable? I'm guessing they were pretty far back from the sideline. You nailed it at the end there, the only thing that's going to make a decent difference would be a massive tent.

Do any of these folks constantly posting these updates every say "Joe Blow had an absolutely awful game today"? That's some information I think would be just as useful as the "1G, 2As" videos.

If I see any of those three corners I may just throw up. And don't ask, you know exactly which corners I'm talking about.

Now you've got me wondering about whether or not the visiting team is allowed to put up some sort of tent. I'd imagine that it is prohibited since we've never actually seen it happen. I can see how fixed posts near the sideline could be major issues with players running through there, bringing the whole tent down. But anyway, there's definitely a big difference between hot and cold though for these games. We're talking about a game where they're required to wear heavy, thick padding. In the cold they can bundle up as much as they want on the sideline. They can only take so much off in the heat. Whatever the breaking point is for the human body, I'd imagine that it's much more likely to reach it in warm weather than in cold. Baking 300+ pound guys in the sun for 4 hours is a risk the league can't be too crazy about. But then again, they do have no problem with a QB getting concussed twice in 5 days.

Whoever paid for the actual ads on the boards has to be pretty pissed. They’ve lost a huge piece of their audience. I’ve always felt like the board ads were more aimed at the tv audience, but maybe I’m off on that.

And what a horrible rule it was.

Barrett Heisten. I'm probably the only one who thinks of him first.
