Well the area I live in is nicely called "gentrified" which loosely translates to "was a dangerous gang infested 'hood" up until a year or two ago. Most of the surrounding areas are still pretty rough as are parts of my neighborhood (e.g., low income housing areas). Tough to get people to deliver mail to bad areas, apparently. And, my larger complaint: no one down here seems to have much work ethic. I like the idea of postal banking if it takes business away from the payday loan places that are all over town. But, I think it'd be tough to implement in practice since banking is completely unrelated to mail delivery (i.e. the post office has no core competency in banking).

We're told this is one of the worst postal routes in Nashville and because of that no one wants to do it. And, budget cuts and financial problems keep them from shortening the route. So, we get ###### service and are forced to deal with it. The new idea (which is actually an old idea) to save the postal service: postal banking.

Ugh. Where I live the mail may or may not show up. Depends on whether the mailman feels like delivering it or not. The whole neighborhood has complained to the postmaster general, but no one seems to care. It'll be interesting to see whether the postal service gets privatized down the road.

me? ;)

As much as anything, we need a defenseman who can run the point on the power play. Our first power play unit d-men (Myers and Gorges) have a grand total of 2 power play points between them. Awful. By comparison, Keith Yandle (who is on the trade block supposedly) has 19 power play points. If we had a decent point guy, I think we'd see a lot more out of Moulson and Ennis on the power play. So my trade wish list includes an offensive-minded defenseman. Even if it is a 3rd pairing guy. I'll go out on a limb and suggest that is what Murray had in mind when he picked up Meszaros. But, Meszaros is... a mess.

And, ###### hell, Meszaros is bad. He is really truly terrible.

Someone replaced our Gatorade with piss.

Jhonas has given up 13 goals over his last two games.

Jhonas has no mental game as of late. Kid just isn't getting it done.

3 points night for Little Tyler. He's up to 28 points on the season, which is really good considering how terrible his teammates are.

Goal? I'm surprised we even got a shot on net!

He has no offensive game and over the past month or so has been really bad defensively. Maybe he is hurt?

Jesus. 5-3. He's just not that good. I'm not saying he is terrible (i.e. The Mess) but he isn't on any other team's #1 defense pair.

And... 4-3 Detroit.

It must be a full moon because H_dgs_n has an assist tonight. He's up to 7 points (in 46 games).

Sabres had one shot in the second period? :wacko:

Mike Harrington has it right. To field a historically bad team two years running with the intent of losing on purpose is ###### disgraceful. And the NHL is a joke for incentivizing the behavior. The whole thing makes a mockery of the spirit of competition. I like what the EPL and other foreign leagues do. 20 teams in the league and if you finish bottom-3 you get relegated to a lower league.

Myers is useless on the power play. Girgs!

2 goals seems to be our max output.

Oof.

Neuvirth looked bad on that one.

Hodgson sighting. He got a shift.

3 minutes of ice time for Hodgson. :clapping:
