That's exactly what I did roughly a year ago. I don't have Hulu+, but spend most of my time on Netflix and the NHL app for my PS3. I do get NBC, CBS, and Fox (among other things) over the air, but I don't get a good signal for ABC. I don't watch broadcast TV very often. Pros: low cost, somewhat less distraction Cons: Harder to watch live sports, no DVR, a certain amount of isolation about current events and culture (that's a pro during election season)

Gamecenter and PS3 last year. FIOS 15/5 (or maybe 25/5) Internet, wired connection to router. - Quality: Far better than SD, not quite 'real' HD. The picture is sharp, but the motion isn't as fluid as full-blown HD. - Feeds: Except for the games in Europe, I had the kinda-HD feed. - Channel: I can't remember many (if any) games that I didn't have the MSG feed. - Blackouts: if the game is on local TV, it'll be blacked out on GC. So, and NBC, NBC Sports, NHL Network, or your local market (Philly in my case) will be blacked out. Note that this meant the entire playoffs was blacked out for me since "all" the games were on cable. (I don't have cable, so I'd have to go out for them if I was fired up to see them) There's a thread about this I started last year. Search for it.

Yeah, he's a chum.

I think we can take from this that no one knows much about the Atlanta hockey scene.

It's pretty dark in Wales too. :)

Note that I think this one is looking like 50-100/hr (depending on who you read), so it's not going to be 4th of July up there, just the occaisional shooting star.

Easy as...

This could have been the best thread of the offseason if it had gone on longer. :)

I suspect some will rehash the previous lockout.

Just occurred to me: the game is on WGR, right?

I'm thinking social experiment. Trying to see how long before it shows up as an E4. Occam's Razor. If I had to guess, being female and really knowing her chit opens a lot of doors for Mme. Chz with people in the know. I work in a male-dominated field (Engineer/Computers) with a few women around, I see it all the time. Chz being on the payroll is a stretch, Drane. Not everything is a conspiracy to discredit your views.

You'll know it by the folks lining up to get down.

Funny how no one worries if Al Michaels is easy on the eyes. :)

There's a few decent places along Market in Corning, which is just off Rt 352 (which is easy from I86 heading west). The brewery is OK, but not fantastic. I haven't eaten any of the other places, but they look nice enough. There's also a Wegmans right there if you want to freak him out. :)

Truth. Mighty is good if you only have Taco Bell to compare it to. Double-plus truth. A couple years ago, a group of us did a cheesesteak ride around Philly. Roughly 10 of us, we'd order 2-3 cheesesteaks at each place (5 total), have a bit, and rate them. Last stop was Tony Luke's. After the steaks, someone ordered the roast pork (exactly as above); that was by far the best thing I had all day. Why the ###### weren't we eating those all along?

Is that any different than what Gaustad did in the next Bruins game (other than, you know, winning the fight)? Where's all the video of Bruin players taking out the Pens' stars from the game that the hit took place?

New thread. The old one was started Aug 18th, maybe swap it that day?

Sorrentino's just closed up. Really sad about it, that was my go-to pizza place.

The Drew Stafford Award for Squandered Potential goes to Tantalus in East Aurora. Interesting menu with good food, great beer selection, cool space, horrible service the last few times I've been there. I actually walked out last time, waiting 10 minutes to put in a drink order is unacceptable in a half-filled restaurant.

I was going to jump on having Ennis on the third line, but this is intriguing. I bet getting Breire and Hartnell out of Philly is harder than what you propose.

The problem I see is it's not even really a state issue. It'd be more accurate to say what works for Wyoming County may not work well for Erie County. It's really urban vs. rural, and various states just have different balances of those factors. I'd almost rather see gun control at a certain level by the federal government, then regulated further by municipalities in theory. Ideally, there'd be a standard 'menu' of levels for the municipalities to choose from, although that hodgepodge would be pretty difficult to manage.

I'm reading that as the OHL assigns players to teams, right? If the players pick, it's no different than college sports, I suppose.

Surprisingly competent but not something you'd build a collection around?
