I'm happy that by making this happen I had a successful Trade Deadline Day,.

Same here. I think it was after the Pommer trade, that Flynn could fill Pommers role.

Sounds like there's a spot on the 2nd line for someone to step into! :wallbash:

Anyone else see a left-pointing wang in that picture?

I bet there's a gambling joke in there somewhere.

You're generally better off paying off debts other than cars and mortgages first, since the interest rate on those is better than just about any CC or other loan (well, maybe not student). I'd definitely pay off CCs and whatnot and then finance a car if you need it. Also, invading Russia is a solid plan, just don't do it in winter and make sure to pack coats and boots even if the weather forecast doesn't seem to warrant it.

That's awesome. I'd probably wait until 3pm before changing anything up. :)

Started the corned beef yesterday, it'll be ready for the Pi-day party at Pie Palace on the 14th.

I still don't understand what's going on in this thread. :) The only BAE I've heard of before has a facility (or did) near Binghamton where they make, among other things, hybrid-electric busses and trucks. Used to be British Aerospace Engineering (I think) but now it's just BAE with no meaning.

The math (1 - lottery odds for first pick year 1) * ( 1 - lottery odds for first pick year 2). If we the sames year as the example, it'd be (1 - .25) * (1 -.2) = .8 * .75 = .6 or 60% chance that the last place team doesn't pick 1st either year. Note that the odds changed over the summer that's why the numbers are different from year one to year two. For fun, watch this place after the lottery to see who is bad at math (hint: people claiming Buffalo got hosed or whatnot).

Well, there's a 100% chance of getting a great player, with a very small chance that player will be a bust. Better than picking 10th where a bust is probably a 40% chance.

Yeah, a couple of "good" NHL players is better for the team's future way more than one potentially great NHL player. :rolleyes:

Can I sue the NHL for my injuries afterward?

I pulled the image into and editor and the RGB values suggest blue and brown. One image I saw easier suggested white, but I can't find it now. I'd laugh my ass off if it's a tech trick where the web server rotates the image it sends randomly between a white one and a blue one.

That's may be the most ridiculous thing I've seen in months. I guess someone doesn't have a clue how to drive in the snow.

I get the feeling that Nolan thinks that if you put someone on the 3/4 line long enough, they'll become a 3/4 liner but retain their skill. I'm no coach, for sure, but I think some guys just don't have it in them.

Duh:

That's a pretty simple view, that's not what it's all about.

Well, there's already F'N Fantastic Friday, things that are awesome, and the boobs threads, why not another? ;)

No forward pass: think rugby (or those last second multi-lateral plays in football).

:yawn: ;)

Maybe this should go in the Awesome thread, but Google translates "Pie" as "Pirog" (as in, the singular form of pirogi). I love me some pirogi (or pierogi).

The few times I get to work early in my job, I just end up working more because I keep getting asked for things well after my 8 hours are up. If I get in at 9-10, there's no one left to stop me from leaving at 6.

It's been going back a few years, at least for backups.

There are going to be a whole generation of goalies that can say, "my first game/win/turning point was against the Buffalo Sabres" "hey, mine too!".
