Scott Hartnell isn't married.

Don't forget, women's soccer @ 2:30.

No way I give up Stafford and/or Sekera for either of those guys.

I enjoyed watching Dineen down here last year. I got news for ya, if there's any Sabres who are like Roy and doesn't like being called out by his coach, they certainly wouldn't like Dineen! He did it on a nightly basis. If you sucked, he told the media right after the game and the players knew it. They'd tell you pre-game before the next game that they sucked.... and if they didn't do something about it you're riding the bench or spending time in the press box.

Woohoo! Just what we need a center who hasn't broken 20 goals in 5 years. Where DeLuca to tell us how his entire career was wrapped up in a 10 game spurt last year. :P Eager's nice, but haven't we kinda addressed the physical side already?

His save % will get worse while his GAA gets better? That's a neat trick. :P

Damn, I was so close!

I sure do miss Beef & Sirloin. 'Crumbs' from Long John Silvers.

I must say, for those who still ive in BFLO you really take your food for granted! After having to live with the garbage that is in my general area, I'd give anything to eat at the places y'all consider overrated/bad.

Yeah, it doesn't look like it gives much support. I can see it maybe working it you're trying to restrict a little bit of movement; it would make sense on the back. But on her knee....... I'm with you, I want a brace. The degree of athleticism to do what they do is amazing.

Thanks, can't say I've ever heard of it. Or just never noticed........

7/40

OK, call me stupid, but what is with the blue tape the one Chinese beach volleyball player has on her back and her knees? I've seen other players with the same thing.

I don't think he'll turn out to be slightly better than average. I've seen him make way too many unbelievable plays that he made look so natural to be slightly better than average. I think his glaring mistakes might keep him from being considered a superstar right now. I think that will lessen as he gets older.

That's an excellent idea! I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that yet.

Did you notice the elbow she threw right before that? Look real close, she throws a nasty right elbow to the throat right before she got punched. Very true, she is targeted because of her talent. Canada's thrown a few question hits, but these girls go down real easy. They need to have 'diving' calls in soccer.

All this crying from the media about the dirty plays against Wambach, I've watched the last 4 games and Wambach has got to be one of the dirtiest players out there. She's gets away with an awful lot. That's just my opinion of course.

It's not Beetlejuice. :P

Ludicrous, ludicrous, ludicrous.

Now that's kinda funny. :lol:

I'm not getting stuck in another DeLuca circle jerk. Y'all have fun.

So does throwing hits cure/prevent acute thrombophlebitis.

Yes we know you think every single player on the team should be 6'6", weigh 250 lbs, get into 40 fights, throw 200 hits, score 40 goals (exactly 1 every other game), get 15 PPG's, play defense, win 60% of faceoffs and cost the team $1.25 mil a year. But this isn't fantasy world. Criticize Vanek's hitting all you want, Ryan could only dream of being as good as Vanek in front of the net. If my best scorer is going to get beaten up in the crease every single game I sure as hell don't want him throwing hits too.

Vanek's here to score goals, not hit. There are other players for that. I don't want my top goal scorer throwing hits. What's next, Vanek shouldn't be compared to Ryan because you don't like what he eats for breakfast? How about his shoes? Does Bobby Ryan have better taste in shoes? Music? Oh oh, I found another one! Vanek had 52 PIM and Ryan had 53 PIM....... BUT, Ryan played 4 more games so I think Ryan is better than Vanek because Vanek averages 1.2 seconds more in penalties a game than Ryan. :angel:

Vanek's been a top 20 goal scorer 4 of the last 6 years. It could have been 5 out of 6 except one year he missed top 20 by 2 goals while missing 11 games. Twice he's been a top 5 goal scorer. How anybody can think he's not an all-star forward is beyond me. In the last 4 years: Bobby Ryan 131 goals in 309 games=.423 GPG Thomas Vanek 126 goals in 302 games=.417 GPG Ryan: 34 PPG Vanek: 51 PPG Ryan: 14 GWG Vanek: 21 GWG I'll stick with Vanek Just sayin'....................
