    When I was a kid, we had an even earlier version, it may have been my Dad's. Same metal player cut-outs, no batteries or lights, and the guides along the boards where metal and not plastic.

    I think I suggested this in another thread, but my "plan" would be to give a scrub a $6M/1 year deal each year until there's a better way to spend that money. No reason to commit for longer than a year, and it's not like Scott or Ellis or similar is going to turn down the deal because they want a longer deal.

    Superbowl!

    I was thinking about throwing a small party at my house, but it's my anniversary this weekend so I never really got around to planning. I'd save "Pie's Preposterous Playoff Pirogi Party" for the hockey playoffs, but all the games are on cable so I can't get any of them on Gamecenter. As it stands, the Chinese New Year parade in Philly is Sunday, then dinner I'm guessing.

    Vanek jersey?

    That's quite the book, since it essentially says shoot everywhere.

    Lemmy isn't punk.

    Amy Farrah Fowler? Mmmmm.

    FWIW, Miller's currently at .926% for the season and .916% NHL career. Lundqvist is at .914% and .920% (#3 all time) respectively with very similar numbers for shots. I consider Henrik pretty-f'n-elite. That being said, the lifetime leaders that are ahead of Miller (he's #12) are all still playing, other than Hasek at #1 (.9223). http://www.hockey-reference.com/leaders/save_pct_career.html So, I don't think Miller is elite. I don't think many people here say that; I think people that say Miller is elite are not paying that much attention. He's also not something you just toss away because there's a ton of guys better around though.

    And people will be clamoring for Hackett (or new goalie coming back in trade).
  10. MattPie
    Exactly. Because every goalie has crappy nights and lets in crappy goals. Because we watch all the games, we see them, and if you're of a certain disposition, focus on those.

    Maids got it easy. Dry cleaners, however...

    I'd fantasy bet on this outcome. Put him on a line where he's expected to be the 3rd best player, and he might have enough room to work.

    @217, one unit ($140) on the Caps. EDITY: If it's always round up, I'm at @220 now.
  14. MattPie
    160/280 == 57.1, so I'm at 217, ja?
  15. MattPie
    @160, all-in on the Pens.

    2019: The NHL has awarded an expansion team to San Diego. The new team will be called the Suns because they play their entire 48-game home schedule in an outdoor arena. Yep, they do. NBCSN/NBC/NHL Network get priority over local broadcasts. Although I could have sworn one of the Flyers game down here was on Comcast sports and blacked out on NBCSN.
  17. MattPie
    Yep, me too.

    @mattpi (from twitter): @Spndnchz just bumped the Ryan Miller thread, something is afoot!
  19. MattPie
    Man, someone is using *my* posts in the Enroth thread for Twitter-fodder now.
  20. MattPie
    Nope, never heard it either. I prefer "all catawumpus" for that meaning.
  21. MattPie
    But he can go from one corner of the ice to the other very quickly!

    NHL All-star game at Wembley.

    See here's the issue: compliance/amnesty buyouts, unless I'm mistaken, can only be used at the end of this year. After that in order to jettison Leino the Sabres either have to find a trade partner or normal-buyout which cuts into the cap. I don't know who is going to trade for him, and I'd hate if a few years down the road that cap penalty would be killing the team from bringing a good trade or UFA. Buy Leino out with one of the two compliance boyouts, and give some scrub a 1-year $6M contract (John Scott!) each year until we need the space for a UFA worth that money.

    That's one of those "German Crazy-Supid" things, isn't it? Nikita says, "to make omelet, you must CRUSH eggs".

    I see it as: Philly_average_GT < Enroth < Miller. I think Enroth tops out around where Miller is most years, but if I were fantasty betting I'd Enroth being Marty Biron 1.9 (not 2.0 because Enroth is too short, hey-oooh). He'll be good enough as a backup that people will think he's a starter, but when given the job he'll just barely not be good enough.
