I've seen it a couple of times and cried every time. Liking Mule Z Flip

Go Pistons! oh wait...

It's good to live in Vikings country right now. My bf is not happy, but oh, well. It's good to have so many targets for Stafford, and good for Stafford to be healthy.

Been up since last evening. Will be up until this evening unless I nap out during the games. The person below me likes surprising people with gifts.

Dillinger. Live in a haunted house or be abducted by aliens?

I have never been to a cider mill (mostly because ND has very few trees. ) The person below me has the same person cut their hair every time.

Tough call. John had the longer career so I'll use that as the tie-breaker. Beard, mustache, both, or clean-shaven?

So suppose that there's some kid out there whose friend got him interested in hockey last season, and this is his first pre-season and he's really wondering why the font is different. Do we make fun of him for not being as aware as we are, or do we welcome him to the Light Side and do all that we can to help him acclimate? Tough call.

Perfect.

Beautiful. I regret that I have only one + to give to that post.

No, guys, seriously. The writing on the jerseys looks different than it did during the last games I saw. In other news, has anyone heard that Zdeno Chara is tall?

That's been bugging me too, so now for the PSA: DO NOT put anything in the mouth of a person who is having seizures or convulsions UNLESS the person is actively choking. Back in the day, they used to say to do it to keep the victim from choking on their tongue, but they found that relatively few people actually choke during a fit. They also found that people sticking things in the person's mouth could be dangerous for the victim, and if the rescuer used their fingers, the victim could bite them very hard. Good for Mike in realizing that the person was in need of this, but it should be said that this is a rare occasion, and generally should not be done. Now, back to hockey.

Not necessarily. I weigh more than he does and they knock me right out. Cold. But then, I'm a wuss. I figured there had to be more to the story than just drinking. Drinking and boating in Minnesota is almost like drinking and tubing. You can't have one without the other.

Had he been healthy here, it could have been his Swan Song. But if "IF"s and "BUT"s were candy and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas. Cheers, Mike. Best of luck in the future.

I'd rather be a hammer than a nail. Yes, I would. If I could. I surely would. Simon & Garfunkel or the Beatles?

Did you happen to see a face? That might help. Or hair or eye colour. I don't blame you if you didn't.

Missed all the games yesterday thanks to a baby shower. A bunch of us were checking our phones and sharing results. Oddly, even though the shower was in Minnesota, most of us there were Lions fans as the parents were from Michigan. There was one little boy there whose mother was a Packers fan. He wasn't old enough to talk yet, but when mom sang the Packers ditty, he would pump his fist in the air and grunt for the "Go Pack Go!" part. It was cute. Wish I could have seen the Lions game. Looking ahead to next week- Detroit is at Minnesota, and GB is at Chicago. This has the potential to pull the division even further apart stat-wise. Minnesota has been coming out strong and then falling apart. I think if the Lions start strong, this one should be ours fairly easily. Otherwise we'll have to claw for it.

Well, I hope he uses his size well.

That's too bad. It sounds like his relationship with the Wings was mutually inspiring and beneficial. The world needs more of that, albeit under better circumstances. RIP, Earl.

I actually have one of these, and it's been in my head since this thread started. This is not mine, just a video I found.

Try to get along, but there are times you have to snark. Redo or buy new?

Who says she's not? Maybe she's just an incredibly well-put-together pile of goo. Wonderful for Pasha to do this for Salei. No wonder our Pat is so fond of him. On or off the ice, he is rivaling Nick as the Perfect Human.

That is so touching. Bless Dats' heart for thinking of that.

Several women? Ozzie's hosting Tupperware parties on the side.

True. They should have enough common sense to know what and when to tweet, but it's better to have the policy in place before some nimnul decides to tweet something stupid. "Can't believe they're putting Z out with that ankle. One check and he's done for." "Some ugly chick just asked for Kron's autograph. Poor guy." "Huds' crabs are itching again." We could start a thread of inappropriate/stupid tweets and it would be comedy gold until a player actually tweeted one.
