He has a plethora of nice words he can use. Approaching a cornucopia, really.

FTFY.

He has 34 actual SOG (not shots attempted)? That's just a statistical anomaly them, there's no way it'll stay at 3%. (right?)

I think almost everyone that read the piece on Connelly reversed their stance. And some people here led an effort to get the avatar changed. Too late? Maybe, but pointing out people's mistakes after they've made amends is bad form.

I stand by my statement. -- sincerely, Toronto Media.

He can do that because he's the exception to "the puck moves faster than the player".

Come on, it's Bert Lahr. That's an easy one.

Which is the one Kareen Abdul Jabbar had where eggs were coming out of his mouth?

I want Lehner to succeed, but realistically he's looked terrible this year. Not, "well, the team isn't playing well in front of him" terrible, little things like being on one post while the puck flies by the other post, and awkwardly making the first save and leaving the net open. He's really fighting it.

Man, the Leafs are stacked; Marner is better than every single Sabre and he's skating on the fourth line!

Amusing, not weird! :)

He is. He gave a presentation about it a few years ago at the national BMW rally in Gillette WY and then rode home, straight through 20-something hours. Someone mentioned he had a cancer scare several years ago and is in solid Carpe diem mode. Absolutely the one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, too.

Cars. Yes it's a kids movie and old, but it's one of my favorite movies all-time.

He played Minnesota High School hockey last year and tore it up (64 points in 25 games (!!!)) and USHL (30 points in 24 games), but that's lesser competition than Canadian Juniors or NCAA, so scouts were wary that he was a big fish in small pond.

On average, maybe, but that's only with Moulson dragging Reinhart down. You're going to have to be pretty persuasive to convince me that either of those two players that couldn't crack the team coming out of camp are better than a guy with 40 goals and 80+ points in his first two years in the league. I might even go so far as to say Samson will have more points and goals than those two combined this year.

It's deceptive that the North Atlantic current brings a lot of heat north so the climate is much warmer than other parts of the globe at that latitude. Doug had a wolf run with him for awhile on the way up, that's the closest thing I can think of. :) The last 300-400 miles of the trip are this terrible dirt road where there's no services other than a little town halfway. Definitely risky stuff. He wrote it up for the BMW Club magazine, if you're interested. He's nuts. http://www.mac-pac.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/haul_road.pdf I like this line, "So my theme for the trip was kept simple: ride to Prudhoe Bay, have a swim, and ride home to Philadelphia."

London (UK) for me. Seriously, London's lattitude is in the neighborhood of Edmonton. I have a few friends that rode motorcycles to Prudhoe Bay, AK (the furthest point North you can drive/ride in North America), one of them swam in the Arctic Ocean. I'll never be that worthy.

:( Eastern Daylight time, EDT, if we're being pedantic.

Frankly, I'm betting that's what they're already supposed to be doing. Lindy used to "activate the D", where one D comes down the wall, and a forward moves out the point to cover the spot. I'd be shocked in Housley's system advocates both D moving down the wall at both times. What we're seeing is miscommunication and/or hesitance where the D comes down, but the forward is still grinding down low (habits!) and you have a 2-on-1 the other way.

I've been interested in it since learning about the physics and math done in the animation, but I didn't get around to it when I had netflix. Boo! https://phys.org/news/2017-01-mathematicians-ocean-life-disney-moana.html

Helicopter Fight Song.

No no, that is entirely commensurate with the value he adds to the Leafs and frankly, seems like a good deal. The Leafs totally won't be in cap trouble as the cap will just go up. do it Lou!

Both teams sucked from 1957 through 1995. Did I win?

Late start games are the one perk of working almost every night until midnight/1AM, I can pop the game on and keep my normal schedule.
