Iron Crotch

We've mastered the bad angle wrist shot into the goalie's pads.

This game is a preview of how bad we're going to suck when Miller and Moulson are gone.

What? That guys can stop as many shots an Enroth! ;)

Here ya go!

I gotta get more TVs! Got one on computer and one on the TV...

Was watching the Preds - Wild game so I didn't see the goal. Got a good one going in Minnesota. :D

Taking a bag of fritos and putting them on enchiladas then putting the whole thing in bread is just nasty...

The quality of NHL refereeing is just awful lately... they'll make phantom calls all day then let absolute muggings go. It's like the calls are just made randomly...

Great advice. PMI sucks. I did an 80-10-10 conventional loan with no PMI. Put 10% down and the other 10% is a revolving line of credit. No PMI is great. But, the extra 10% is variable interest. If you have the means to pay the 10% back quickly then it makes the most sense... plus you can keep the revolving line of credit open should you need it in the future. (all of this depends on your credit profile though)

Ha! This sounds familiar. I bought well under my means and didn't even represent part of my income and any of my wife's income. Yet, still I was getting emails every two seconds from the lender, was relentlessly asked for statements, faxes, what's this expense? why did you deposit a check?, etc. It really borders on harassment.

Oh, ######... Rudy is DOOMED! He'll be a -3 tonight. No way that kid weighs more than about 170 lbs. He's like our very own Rudy Ruettiger, except I doubt Sean Astin will play him in a movie.

Ugh... I closed on my new build house less than 30 days ago with substantial money in escrow and it was and is a complete nightmare. Will spare the gory details, but to summarize: you buy the builder, not the home; you buy the area, not the home - land is an appreciating asset and a home is a depreciating asset unless you do something to abate the depreciation; everyone involved in the process doesn't get paid until you buy - so they will push you to close and will push you toward whatever is most expensive; the inspector is your only defense against getting screwed - get a good one - ask around - pay top dollar - this is your only friend in the process; the buyer/seller's job is to minimize cost. Assume they want to screw you over (might not be true, but assume this anyway). If the process ends up where I am... get a good lawyer. ;)

My bold prediction (not based on much of anything)... either Moulson or Vanek will end up in Detroit.

<-- see my avatar photo for the answer to that question :P

I've been beating this drum for a couple of weeks now re: Weber. In 42 games we've only scored 9 goals when Weber has been on the ice. That is almost inconceivably poor. He averages over 17 minutes per game of ice time and we basically never score when he is out there, in part because his passing is terrible. If I saw great things from him on the defensive end, I could live with that, but...

...isn't Putin something Canadians eat when they're drunk? ;)

Rudy can skate and he reads the game surprisingly well. He's kind of small, but I think it is okay to have one smallish d-man as long as you have some bigger guys to balance it out (Risto, Zadarov, etc.). McBain brings some offensive game and can play the point on the power play. That alone makes him somewhat useful. But, Weber is statistically one of the worst offensive players in the NHL. We basically never score when he is on the ice. So, if he isn't stopping the other guys then I really don't see the use for him.

Switch Pysyk with Myers. 100% overhaul.

Well, the good news is Darcy is gone... :angel: Terrible call on Ellis.

He is on a historically bad pace in that statistic. It is almost unheard of to be a -31 after only 42 games played. He has a really good shot to post the worst +/- of any NHL player in the last decade.

Gibbons? Who the heck is that guy? oof.

Milbury need a good fisting. (fisting makes it through the dirty word filter... for now :) )

...kind of like throwing a guy in jail because he looks dangerous.
