I'm hoping he's named captain ASAP!

I wonder how this actually works with the NHLPA, CBA, cap, etc. Does he get a vote at the meetings now? Also, this happened in Toronto at some point, but I can't find the link. (EDIT: it was early this year, but I was actually thinking about an article about the guy in DC in 2008) Also: http://o.canada.com/...t-in-spotlight/

Enroth is now the taller of Buffalo's G.

Of course. Only Pegula regularly makes line-up calls over Nolan. :angel:

Yeah, she sounded disappointed when I said no.

Nothing seems fantastic since I decided to give up beer for awhile. Turning down my wife when she asks "Do you want to go to Victory?" yesterday (despite her not drinking) was one of the hardest things I've ever done. ;)

No kidding. I *hate* the laziness of just posting a video. I can't watch a video at work, and you're right I could scan through the text in a minute or two. Maybe the NHL read the transcript of his post.

At least if the amputations were arms you wouldn't have to draw the hands.

Did you say the same thing about the last Godzilla movie? :) Recently found these, I can't stop watching:

Word. My office used to used to be less than a mile from a Naval Air Station. Didn't get a lot of work done the week of the air show due to looking out the window. Same thing when I was working for a week near the Farnborough Air Show. There were two planes in particular that everyone just stopped what they were doing to watch. The then-brand new A380 (seeing one do controlled stalls at a couple thousand feet was something to behold), and the Su-35. The Su-35 just does things that are unnatural; flat-spins, flying backwards (for short periods), and falling vertically on its tail to name a few. I always felt bad for the plane that came after (Typhoons, maybe) since they seemed so pedestrian.

It only has one role, and that's it. With budgets being what they are, there's a lot of pressure to move to multi-role aircraft. It makes some sense, I'm sure everyone would love to have a sports car for fun, an economy car for long trips, a pickup for hauling, and a big sedan for everything else, but most of us pick a car that's in the middle of all those things and live with the compromise.

Ignore me, I get my power forwards that start with T that fade down the stretch mixed up.

Once! (Thornton). So yeah, we should bet on two of the three to come back.

Not zero, from the wikipedia page: "Four A-10s were shot down during the war, all by surface-to-air missiles. Another three battle-damaged A-10s and OA-10As returned to base but were written off, some sustaining additional damage in crashed landings.[" And another in Iraq later, maybe 5 shot down total? It's tough to tell how accurate the wiki information would be.

Dude, don't mock the yappy dogs. http://www.examiner.com/article/packs-of-feral-chihuahuas-terrorize-arizona-town-animal-control-overwhelmed

I read that as the Carolina guy said it.

The Bruins with Rask/Thomas (until a couple years ago)? Vancouver with Luongo (despite his failures in big games)?

I'm out! Woo! I can stop worrying.

I think you'd get a majority of NHL fans, and maybe a few "outsiders". I mean, curling is pretty popular during the Olympics, but I've *never* seen a mention of the World Championships that happen every year (every other year?). The World Championships start in a month, what country is it hosted in this year? (without looking it up... I had to look it up already to see if there was a curling championship!)

I don't think nearly as many people watch a yearly or less hockey tournament. If they did, I think you'd hear more about the world juniors. Just like bobsledding, luge, curling, it's something that people will watch as framed as part of the Olympics. Tell people there's a hockey tournament in September? Snore. Perhaps there's a 10-year-old asking, "Dad, can we go to a hockey game?". Agreed.

They may have set the roster before they knew if Lucic was playing for Canada.

So is it bad luck to start a GDT over a month ahead? And in this case, is bad luck a win or a loss? (I'm off to start that "GDT: SCF Game 7 Sabres at Phoenix 2020-06-13 at 8PM EDT" thread...)

Not me, but my parents did in the early 70s. My Dad knew someone who let him in, so it was just my mom, him, and my toddler cousin. There's some pictures of it, if I think of it I'll find them next time I'm home.

$520 on Carolina. Olympic hangover for whichever Buffalo goalie starts, and we'll see if I'm out of the game or not! #ThinkTank!

I'm not sure how widespread it is, but there are a bunch of Roller derby events around Philly and Binghamton NY, at least. And Buffalo. http://www.qcrg.net/
