LOL, awesome.

Might as well ask a couple questions: How does the SHL compare to the other European leagues in terms of talent, style of play, etc.? For example, in the Canadian Junior system, the QMJHL tends to be very offense-based and few forwards come out of that league as solid two-way players. The WHL (Western Juniors) tends to be a tougher, more defensive league. When you watch NHL hockey, does the lack of advertising in the circles and on the jerseys seem odd? When I watch clips from Europe it always seems like there's a lot of branding. In contrast, if you watch old NHL clips the all-white boards and mostly blank ice looks odd to me too. Are those pancakes with bacon in them mentioned in the Dragon Tattoo books a real Swedish thing, and do they taste as good as they sound?

I don't disagree, but the Sabres already have Ennis and Gionta (for at least another year), if they end up playing another small-ish player, that's may be one too many.

I got it: James May.

Ugh, I hate the never-ending stat line at the bottom of football games, and by extension most other TV. It you want to see stats, just pick up your phone and look them up. Don't clutter up the screen with it since you won't be able to watch the hockey and keep an eye on the stat line waiting for the stat you’re interested in to come up. Maybe 5-10 years ago it would make sense, but as I can have my phone show me the box score and just about anything else nearly instantly, just no. The shot speed makes some sense since it's not like you're going to go back an look to see "Shot at 10:37 in the 2nd" to see the speed. And player speed during replays or something would be pretty cool.

Canadian head coaches dominate an international league

Was Teppo a coach? Seems like I remember him behind the bench. -
The last time I did LOTR was on the way home from Thailand. 12 hour flight, all three movies, and no place to go, match made in Sto'Vo'Kor.

When I was in Thailand a few years ago, I had the game on my phone live at 8AM while getting ready. (Bangkok is 12 hours different, so 8PM EST is 8AM Thailand time)

Cats do, so I don't see why not. I saw Zubaz for sale not long ago, you better get some now in case they do so you have the entire outfit.

On #2: someone I know's parents were pretty religious and strict when she was a kid. She said she'd go into Sunday School and sneak out the back because there were always some ne'er do well guys hanging out back there with the cars and they'd go ride around and drink. Same person ended up at Nardin for awhile and she instantly found the other wild kids to hang out with.

No tank chart this year? :ph34r:

I have a box of TO's in the cabinet here at work. At first, it was to annoy my Eagles fan coworkers, now it's either extreme emergency rations or something to sell on ebay; I haven't decided which.

Reinhart: Fewer minutes in NHL or more minutes in AHL?
MattPie replied to pi2000's topic in The Aud Club
I think everyone considered Legwand to be a contract dump, but did anyone with Ottawa or Buffalo actually say that? It could well be that everyone looking in from the outside saw Legwand as washed up but GMTM saw a potential leader there. Or it could just be luck, we probably won't ever know. -
I was hoping someone would correct me, thanks. I kind-of knew Google translate would be a little close but wrong.

I'll drink to that.

Ben Carson: making it easier and easier to dismiss him. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ben-carsons-unusual-theory-egyptian-pyramids/story?id=34989643

Två-huvuden goalternderen vidunder, as it were.

I think it'll make it through the day, but I have little hope for it making it until tomorrow morning.

Fixed!

Best season: 34 pts in 79 games, but does play RW; a position that the Sabres are short on. I'm thinking Rasmus; he's looking the part of a really solid D-man and I think that's easier to find players that can produce points on the RW.

If you grade anything like dudacek in his 10-games in post, "You shall not Pass!" :)

And Canadian stations are all 'C', I think. Mexican Radio is a Wall of Voodoo to me, do they get 'M' or something?

MattPie's Law: As a discussion on the internet grows longer, the probability of someone bringing Raptor Jesus into the discussion approaches 1. The person that brings Raptor Jesus into the discussion automatically loses credibility. (I think RJ is hilarious, but it serves no good purpose unless we're actually discussing religion) Also, someone lumped McBuddha into the McJesus etc. discussion, but Buddha wasn't a devine being, just a normal man. He died and was cremated and many temples in Asia claim to have a portion of the ashes. Just to drag this back somewhat on track.

In one sentence, you just summed up why I feel that, as much as I like the concept of Libertarianism, it's fatally flawed on a national level.

This feels like it belongs in this thread.
