If I may ask you to clarify, my understanding of this doesn't always seem to be right. As I understand it, if a player with a $3.2 cap hit goes on LTIR, the team can use up to $3.2 for a single player to replace only that player. Is that correct? So if, say this player was replaced with a player whose cap hit was $1.2, the team is only "charged" with $3.2 rather than $4.4, which would be the total of the two players. Or if a player with a cap hit of $.5 is replaced with a player worth $.8, the team is "charged" with only the $.8 as it is the larger of the two. I am wondering what would happen if both of the above situations occurred simultaneously. What would be the situation then? Could the extra from the first paragraph be applied to the second? Thank you for helping me out. This thread should be around for all time to help those of us who are still trying to get it all straight.

I've been in the middle of a few, and I've broken up a few, and I've been a part of the verbal sparring that tends to lead to one if the bartender isn't alert, but I've never actually participated. Now I know what is missing from my life. The person below me thinks I am strange for suddenly feeling like a wimp.

Farah Fawcett. I was a teenager during the whole Thriller era, and my girlfriends were so in love with Michael. I never did like him, bless his heart. He just wasn't my style. Charlie's Angels, OTOH, rocked. Fish or other seafood?

See the dreams thread in the between periods section. I do it all the time. The person below me has had long conversations with someone who dialed a wrong number.

As long as there is a thread for this sort of thing, may I add a question? Can a player who is injured be traded if he is on LTIR? If so, does he have no cap hit for his new team until he actually starts playing? Does the 10 games or whatever days until he can play carry over from one team to another, or does he start anew? I have always found the cap to be too many numbers and until I joined here, I paid no attention, but now that I have you folks for resources, I'm trying to learn. Sorry if I sound stupid.

I'm the exact opposite! Love Chinese, hate Mexican. The person below me has more than one pierce in each ear.

RV, baby. When I was a kid, we bought an old school bus, and Dad and I made it into a camper. Good times, except you had to be a mechanic to get the darn thing to keep running. Slava Koslov or Slava Fetisov?

I'm surprised, but happy. I know I won't get to see him, but gosh darn it, he's teaching the kids. I just got done watching the '97 and '98 DVD's (b-day present from the hamster), so I admit to being nostalgic right now. He's not the Mac of those years, and never will be again, but if he still has something to offer, I'm glad he's able to do it. I'm also glad that his life is still on the right track. I was expecting player-coach in GR, but if this is what Kenny wants, then this is what I'll take. I trust Kenny.

I went to community college. Lower standards. I fit right in. Cheese, caramel, or butter-flavoured popcorn?

No storms here, thank goodness. We've had enough water to last us a while, and it still keeps raining. The person below me has hugged someone today.

Pulled over. At least you can try to talk your way out of that after it happens. Parachute pants or leg warmers?

I don't like where this is going... At least all's well that ends well. Nick is feeling better. Sharp said he was sorry. Nick already has kids. Mindfly is now looking up porn. Summer is upon us and with it the time to heal all injuries so that the Wings can come back with renewed zeal and vigor with a hunger for the Cup; ready to go balls to the wall, and equipped to do so.

The exact thing happened to me that game, only I put my foot in my mouth even further after the first goal by going on about how big of a fluke it was and would never happen again. I liked him before that, but after that he became My Sammy (as anyone who has been in the GDT with me when he scored knows). I've resigned myself to losing him. I only pray that he doesn't go to the Ducks or some place where I just can't root for him, like when Lang went to the Habs this year. This is why I hate summer.

I think it was a good thing to do. I just hope he apologized to Mrs Lidstrom as well.

Thanks for the memories, and best wishes!

Constantly. Often it's my only source of inspiration. The person below me gets a kick out of . (Bad audio since it was shot at a concert. Much better on the radio.)

Weebles. I'm doing too much wobbling. (Crocs over Gators, BTW) Orange or Strawberry?

I'm a female who's about half German. From my perspective, it is certainly possible that the young gentleman in question wished to take the test, but his lady pinned him down in a chokehold and wouldn't let him up until SHE was finished.

He took it to a motel. Can't have "company" in the basement.

Lived in Canada for 4+ years. Other than that, no. The person below me wishes they had a handy CBA For Dummies reference guide.

Is middle-aged hag one of the choices? I was neither, but then they didn't have goth when I was a girl. I was more the outcast druggie loser, but I had good friends and good times. Devil or angel?

Neither. I have never met a pepper that I liked. I don't even like black pepper. Turkey or chicken?

I'm sorry, but you asked. Sows are funny creatures. The person below me has raised barnyard animals.

Amen to that. It is a great fear of mine. With Parros to back him up, he might find years of new life torturing the Wings. Please, Cheli, if you must play out west, play for the Kings. They could use a good veteran to teach the kids how to win. Of course, if you go to Nashville, Kristi might finally get her jersey signed after 6 years of trying to get your sig on the darn thing.

He's still wearing clothes. Ozzie at least got to 3rd base.
