Georges Laraque is retired.

I know you feel strongly about this, so how about we use both? We'll use swords for the home games and LMCMT for the away games.

I can see it go either way. Every year should be the one the Oilers turn around, but every year you can't escape the fact that adding another 18-year-old potential superstar to their line-up may not be the way to turn things around.

When my wife finds out, it'll be considerably less grand.

Five 20-goal scores would be really surprising, like, top-4 in the NHL surprising. I don't think the team is that good this year. League-wide there were 92 20-goal scorers, or 3 per team.

I think it kinda settles those "what if an AHL team played an NHL team" questions though.

Wow, honored with a shout-out in the GDT title. I've made it!

NerdAlert: it's 8PM EDT, not EST.

When you do the current-NHL discount (20%) on those numbers, Eichel's seem reasonable (40G, 80PTS) but I still think McDavids are a little too high.

As far as I know, the only way to listen on a phone is to subscribe to an NFL Radio package (I think it's $20/year). I haven't had any luck with Tune-in radio or the WGR app. Streaming does work to a laptop, but I've only tried that on my home internet. You *may* be able to use your phone as a hot-spot and use the laptop to listen while on the move, but my guess is the NFL is smart enough to block the major phone provider's IP ranges. I suppose you could go one step further and use a proxy service, but we're really getting out in the weeds now.

Ah. I feel you, in PA the beer distributors have a stranglehold as well and until recently you couldn't buy beer at grocery stores, only cases at distributors or 2 6-packs at delis and bars. The breweries may take a page out of Wegman's book: they did whatever they had to to make the in-store cafe a "restaurant" so they can sell 6-packs there. On the bright side, you can have a beer with your Wegmans sub too. In their case, set up a space in the brewery and "rent" it to another entity as restaurant space.

Sadly, not Kim Davis.

I know Owego NY does it that way. I don't get a sewage bill, so I can't say.

Forget it, he's pizza rolling.

I overseeded my grass in two stages over the last month and a half. And because it rained once over that time period, my water bill is up $100 from having sprinklers going almost all the time (not to mention buying sprinklers). Now we're getting inches of rain, I suppose I should thank my lucky stars the grass is probably established enough that the rain won't wash it away. My Father-in-Law was complaining the last time I was up there that every time he opens Facebook, it starts at Selena Gomez's FB page and his computer guy couldn't figure out why. Score one for the Son-in-Law, I noticed the shortcut on the desktop had a link to the SG page instead of facebook.com. After being the hero, I set his shortcut to Pandora to always start with Selena Gomez. :devil: I'm sure it it'd work, but Victory has a small store in the brewery where you can buy cases. I'm confused by the wording, does the law say you can't include beer "sales" in the tour price or that you can't sell beer? It seems like the former to me, which doesn't seem like a big deal. Have a tour, offer a free tasting flight as part of it (or not), and they have a cash-bar/case store that people can buy from.

I'll bow to your semi-direct knowledge, as I haven't researched it in any way. I did see the documentary (Food Inc?) that had a lengthy section on a farmer that claimed he had never bought montsano seeds but has been sued into submission. That may well be an isolated case.

As long as "lose on purpose" means "not mortgage the future and build up draft picks", I couldn't disagree more. I think Arizona is going to be bad this year, they know it, and they're doing exactly what the Sabres did in the same situation last year to fix it: nothing. They hope to draft high and then build next year.

For me, it's part wariness of GMO being unhealthy, but also creating a crop mono-culture. If everyone is slowly being forced to use Montsano seeds*, if something comes along that wipes out that crop, either by weakness from the GMO makeup or chance, we're screwed. If everyone is using "natural" seeds with variations, some may be resistant to whatever blight comes along so there will be something left. The second part is I'd bet a bunch that GMOs aren't being modified for taste or health benefits, but only for longevity and pest resistance. Those are noble goals, I suppose, but putting a nation's health at risk to reduce spoilage isn't a trade off I'm willing to make. * From what I understand and someone above alluded to, Montsano is very aggressive in prosecuting farmers that do not buy Montsano seeds but their patented gene sequences shop up in the crops. That can happen in a number natual of ways like wind, shared machinery, etc., but Montsano sues anyway. For many farmers, the risk to being sued into bankruptcy is too much and they just buy from Montsano. So more and more of our food is controlled by one company, that's .

I suppose it helps that Rasmus is 15 lbs heavier too.

Like Armia. :ph34r:

Wasn't there talk of him going further up like 3-5 pre-draft?

I think you're over-estimating the acceptance of that word, although the massive distaste for it might intersect with the people that will never vote for a Democrat anyway so it might not be an issue.

The second paragraph hits it on the head. Free streaming means TV providers have less incentive to carry the channels.

He's like that, but shouldn't cast stones.

That's essentially the Howard Dean playbook, until the media drilled that unfortunate video clip into our heads for a week between primaries.
