East Aurora's Healthy Zone Rink a finalist for Kraft Hockeyville

I'll just leave this here in case you missed it. -
How come you didn't list McCormick?

I read somewhere that some/many GTs have pre-emptive surgery on their hips, could this be that (or "they're starting to bother me so might as well get it over with"). This is from 2011 and only mentions the surgery in passing towards the end: http://ingoalmag.com/news/butterfly-and-hip-injuries-backstrom-back-to-surgeon/

Man, this seems hard, especially without a cheat sheet for who shoots which way.

I-talics: I think that's a stretch. The last guys in the first are 40% to play 200 games. The first guy in the third is around 17%. That's a significant difference. But you're right that the general public seems to have an inflated idea of picks. It bears saying the prospects playing in the AHL odds are aren't going to make it. So when people say, "Oh, we have Compher, Bailey, Grigorenko, McCabe, etc." that odds are half of those guys aren't going to cut it in the NHL. By the numbers, it looks like you're doing OK if your first round pick plays (anywhere on the roster) and you get 1-2 players each year out of all the other rounds.

If that's bling, Jason Pominville is Mr. T. On second thought, I can't find a picture, but I remember Pommers having a chain on a lot. Am I wrong?

Man, how great would it be if NFL teams could send guys back to college football (their minor league) to work on fundamentals.

The Perfect Storm of Incompetence and the Coming Fan Revolt
MattPie replied to Stoner's topic in The Aud Club
Riding on the backs of Stallions. -
Marc Rubio does, he had a whole thing about (I'm paraphrasing) "yesterday, a leader from yesterday announced her candidacy, today is not yesterday". I have no particular love of either Clinton, but man it would be awesome to see a reply along the lines of, "yesterday, as in the last time the federal government had a budget surplus, or yesterday as in the fairly steady economic growth of the last few years?" I'll be hard pressed to vote for a Clinton or Bush. 3 of the last 4 presidents (and one vice-president), stretching back 20 of the last 28 years (or 28 of 36 if you count that VP), is way too much time for two families to be in power.

It could be both. After hours of interviews, maybe most of the players talked about how much the liked Nolan, etc., but if TM asked players what they learned over the season maybe the answers weren't good enough. We don't know, and can't know unless someone starts talking (unlikely) so I figure it's time to move on. I'll let the market decide: if Nolan is a head coach in the NHL next year it's possible TM got it wrong. If every other team passes on him, TM probably got it right.

Speaking of which, does the new guy get to pick his own number or will be be #67 because that one is at the top of the laundry pile?

The Perfect Storm of Incompetence and the Coming Fan Revolt
MattPie replied to Stoner's topic in The Aud Club
The first source is mistaken: he's bent on destroying all of West(ern) New York's sporting teams. Watch out Bandits, and I hear he's even looking to destroy the Clippers; they can run to LA but they can't hide forever. -
I'm cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.

1. TM can't say, "yeah, I knew we'd be terrible this year" without repercussions from the League. 2. When he said, "I don't think the team will be last this year", that could also be the truth. Between the players he brought in and Nolan's magic, he may well have thought (or rather feared) they'd be better than they were this year. 3. If Nolan and Murray weren't communicating, it's entirely reasonable that they'd part ways at the end of the season. Who knows, maybe Nolan even wanted out as he wants more say in things than TM will give him.

- There may or may not be a grand plan, but either way do your best to enjoy life (without being directly at the expense of others) and be productive. - Maybe, but there's no proof if you don't believe what's written in a book. - I know I exist, as even if this entire "life" is an illusion, my ability to understand that it could be an illusion means that it cannot completely fool me. - Futurama keeps getting cancelled because, while they've figured out how to have a long-running SciFi series that doesn't get shut down due to cost, network execs still don't understand that SciFi fans will complain up a storm when something is cancelled. - ????? That is a mystery.

What if Terry Pegula never showed up in Buffalo?

It's not negative enough. :) -

I'm not sure if it's tracking and magic based on my searches, but once you get to "kohars" in Youtube the suggested completion is "koharski donut".

What if Eichel Decides to Return to BU Next Year?
MattPie replied to Dave Dryden's topic in The Aud Club
Nah, totally true. Every kid dreams of playing in the Canadian Junior system, just some have circumstances that they can't realize their dream. (That's sarcasm, BTW) -
BOLD! :) :)

I think I joined, but I'm not entirely sure. I didn't do much research, so I'm sure my bracket is terrible.
