    Mine looks pretty good. The person below me has a plant that needs re-potting.

    All over. I can't stay in one position or I hurt. So at least once an hour, I am moving. Back ache or headache?

    I'd rather have it in the butt. At least it's out of the way. Celery: With cheese whiz, peanut butter, ranch, or plain?

    No. I'm not afraid of the falling, just the landing. The person below me has a tattoo of something that no one else has.

    Brad Stuart's family issues

    Not to mention that it assumes that moving is necessary to stay married. That casts Mrs. Stuart in a bad light as well. Not cool.

    I can get down and boogie, but I'd need help getting back up again. The person below me will now click on my profile and tell me what they think of the new addition. EDIT: Ok, I haven't gotten the new pic. Check in the hot wings thread until I get technosavvy.

    Presidents Trophy

    It gives you something shiny for one of the Alternate Captains to drive down Woodward with. If you don't win the Cup, nothing else matters.

    Thanks! Hard to believe that this is the last full month of the regular season.

    Brad Stuart's family issues

    Or it could be that Stuie is just a decent guy who realizes that he could have to move at the drop or a hat, and that it is important for a child to be with her father, and he's doing the decent thing. More power to him.

    Nope. Two little sisters. The person below me is the only person in their family residing in their state/province.

    Considering that I have no computer at work, not really. The person below me is expecting a new addition to the family.

    I admit I have trouble sometimes. I also have trouble choosing between what the last person said sometimes, and so I leave it rather than say, "whatever". I think that would be a blow to the person who put time and effort into it. It would be better to let someone with an actual opinion answer. The person below me goes by their middle name.

    Brad Stuart's family issues

    As I recall, when Stu was traded here, the little girl was about 9 or 10. They obviously didn't move at that time since it was near the end of the season and it was a rental. He would be UFA in a few months and there was a new baby on the way. He then got a 4-year contract with a partial NTC. I remember that it was said at that time that he wanted to stay put until his step-daughter reached high school so that she wouldn't have to be uprooted again. It seems that the plan was to bring her here. I knew a lady who was divorced in California, and in her case, in order to move away, she had to send her kids to live with their dad in the summer in order to avoid the every-other-weekend visits, which would not have worked over such a long distance. The only reason she got that was that her ex allowed it. Apparently in Stuie's case, either the dad or the courts didn't allow it, or he and his wife decided not to move the family. I do recall that he declined a better offer from Calgary because he didn't want to send the little girl through customs alone on her visitations. Considering that he's from Alberta, that must have been a sacrifice. Hearing how he has put his wife and her child ahead of his own interests has given me a huge amount of respect for him. I would love for him to stay, but I understand why he wants to be back with his wife and 4-year-old son. It has to have been rough for him to be away from his little boy, yet he has honoured his contract with the Wings, even though things apparently didn't go as planned. I wish him well where ever he goes, even if it's with an icky team like the Ducks.
  15. The more I think about it, the more I think Holland should have asked for a 7th round pick and a bucket of cheese. At least he'd get the cheese. I hope Stevie will be picking up the tab the next time the two have dinner.

    2/28 GDT : Red Wings 5 at Blue Jackets 2

    Nash needs to go into politics. The Wings WILL win tonight. I wore my unlucky shirt yesterday, so it is not touching whatever shirt I will be wearing today. Apparently, unbeknownst to me, the bad luck can pass on to the Wings even if I don't actually touch the shirt on game day, as opposed to what was previously thought. It also wicks through the other, innocent shirts and bespoils the Wings efforts. No more. It has been banished. The Wings WILL win tonight. Mule, Kronner, Miller, Janik Nash

    Not my shoes. It makes them too slippery. Seriously, I do not like ranch dressing, although on very rare occasion I like a few cool ranch Doritos, but not enough to buy the whole bag. The person below me likes bananas.

    Columbus GM Reveals Nash Demanded Trade

    That's a good question. I had thought the same thing about Marek Zidlicky this year. He made it quite known that he did not want to be in Minnesota and wanted to be traded. They got 3 bodies and 2 picks for him before the deadline day. I was amazed that it didn't lower his worth, but I guess that if you have multiple offers, those offering will fight amongst each other with higher offers no matter what the side show. Given that Nash has done nothing publicly, and that it was the GM who blabbed, I'd say that it won't be held against Nash.

    I have the Gap Band "You Dropped the Bomb on Me" playing in the background and it fits absolutely perfectly with that. He drops them right as they sing that line. It's freaky. Waiting for Holland to drop the bomb on me.

    Ashton? Last I heard he was promising, but I admit I don't keep up well with the East. Any input from anyone who does?

    2012 NHL Trade Deadline Thread - February 27th, 3:00 PM ET

    I seriously hope not. No matter how high the picks. With Commie moved and E out, we need him now unless Kenny has something up his sleeve to get us a really big name on D.

    Very surprised at the Wings moving Commie. Are they clearing up a roster spot or do we really, really want that pick?
