It's almost like kicking out huge rebounds all the time is going to bite you.

Heh, found this on image search:

It's almost like playing net constantly on your knees doesn't work.

The power here went out right around then; maybe one of the big EC internet hubs got an ouchy. That's how I remember it too.

I just looked; EDM has 19 games remaining and 58 points. My patented Countdown Calculation says they need to win 18 of those 19 games to get to 94 points.

My wife cuts my hair. She's not bad at it, it's free, and she's the one who has to look at me anyway.

I can count using only the fingers on my left foot the number of times that's happened. It may the only player transaction used fewer times than offer sheets.

Awesome. I don't know if I could resist messing with people[0] in this situation. Oklivia Okposo (pronounced Olivia), Okwen, or even more evil, something like Oktavian in which you do pronounce the K. [0] I could resist, if only for my kid's mental health.

Wait, Hamilton edited the quote that much? I mean, I already have a pretty low opinion of Hammy, but that's bush league even for him. You have to wonder if Hammy is someone's hit-man.

That's awesome. The best I know of for PA is the Philadelphia Free Library will give you a library card if you're a PA resident, which you can check out ebooks (and regular books, if you want to drive to Philly).

Vanek played two years in Minnesota; I have no doubt that he was ready to move into the pros (and get some cash). That one year, it meant the AHL.

The only way J-Bot may have blown this was if a team offered significantly more at some point and he waited. Something none of us know.

Rochester's core should be Eichel, Reinhart, and Ristolainen.

COULD WIN.

Here's a simpler narrative: I hated the way Bylsma had the team play, and I'd rather see the team struggle with flashes of enjoyable hockey than maybe squeak into the playoffs playing his miserable system.

Are there people that think Bogo is a first-pair D?

It's kinda apropos given how badly he covers the post. "Learner" would be ironic. He seems to have the physical tools to be good but he just makes a lot of bad positional mistakes; something that a coach could normally correct I'd think.

Probably easier to just say: 53 games, 26 wins. That being said, They're in a pack of teams in the East where 3rd through 7th are 66 or 65 points (with some odd ordering, I assume based on divisions), and better than all but the Moose in the West. It's hardly a terrible record. I suspect the people talking about "woe is me, more losses than wins" are looking for something to be upset about. Their point % is fine, as is their place in the standings. Or, "The Amerks have the second-fewest Regulation losses in the AHL with 13. That's one behind Toronto with 12. The team knows how to compete and get points."

How about a Tops paper bag to put on your head?

Side note: 1970s: ugly decade, or ugliest decade?

I noticed on the last couple games that it seemed like he did say scores on the opponent goals. Leaving those notes on Pegula's doorstep must have worked, well done! :)

Can I guess? Obama Hometown Sports Team Stifles Free Speech. Subtitle: Why don't the Democrats do something about these attacks on the second part of the First Amendment. (The first and third parts, Religion and Free Press, Eh, maybe those are suited to a different era)"

I was kinda hoping there'd be a few games on the precipice.
