    Depending on the situation. If you're horny- help your own self, dude. (kidding, you know- I mean not that I would, just that I know you're not asking) The person below me likes daffodils.

    Agree, although I tend to think of The Night due to the youtube video. Any Man of Mine- Shania Twain

    Wild re-sign Backstrom

    Good signing for the Wild, although I'd have liked to see him as a Cap.

    3/2 GDT: Red Wings 5 @ Blues 0

    Wings: Hossa (PP), Franzen, Flip, Malts (shortie) Blues: Boyes hattie Boyes scores all 3 in the first period. Wings have numerous chances, but are hampered by cheapshots. Downey takes care of it in the 2nd, drawing the instigator penalty leading to the Hossa goal. The other Wings goals are scored in the 3rd. Kopy causes the shorthanded situation in which Malts scores by doing something entirely stupid, Drapes misses the EN, and Sammy has 932 shots on goal (and no points) just so we have something to complain about. Chris is the best goalie on the ice.

    Um, no. Ever since I took med micro I haven't been able to go in a hot tub regardless of the style of entrance. The person below me thought Igor Larionov was totally cool in his own special way.

    NHL should do something about this.

    I am just thinking hypothetically here, but what could the league do? There are 30 teams in 2 countries. Each country has its own laws, not to mention the laws of the city and state or province in which each of the teams play. In addition, how would they know that the tickets were being purchased by scalpers? I know some events have a maximum number that a person can purchase at one time, but aside from that, how would they know? Just looking for suggestions. Not making an issue- really more of a mental exercise and making conversation than anything.

    Pardon my ignorance regarding MI, but isn't scalping illegal there? I seem to remember a Home Improvement episode where Tim and Al ended up in jail... Just asking because it isn't illegal here, not that I'm expecting the authorities to do anything about it.

    Ty Conklin

    I would love to keep him around, mostly becauseI like what I've seen, but also because I don't have a lot of faith in Howard. The money is a huge issue, but I have to wonder what we would get instead of him. Do we go with Howard or do we find some other cheap guy? If it comes down to having to spend some extra cash for a goalie, and Conks is in that price range, I'd rather keep Conks.

    Never been to Disney World. (BTW, Loo- I just did what the store lady said- I was a kid at the time.) The person below me thinks that that "5 cm..." thing might mean a pain in the ass, but isn't sure.

    Optimism After the Ugliest Game of the Year

    I didn't get to see the game. I was in the GDT getting my info from there and from the real time ticker. May I ask something of those of you who did witness it? IIRC, there were 27 shots on goal for the Wings. The ticker only puts up names when it feels like it. I saw a lot of Sammy and Flip, but not much of anyone else. How did the offense look? Were there good chances that just didn't go in or was the offense as big of a part of the problem as the defense? Thoughts? As far as positive things- the GDT was a riot! Edit: forgot a prepositional phrase.

    The person below me game...

    No, but my sister was stuck at the top of one (afraid to get on) and I had to run up the down escalator to try and help her and the store lady yelled at me and I had to go around to the up escalator and by the time I got there she was gone and I panicked, but I found her with my dad. Then I got in trouble for losing her. The person below me has been yelled at by a store lady.

    So if they scored 5 times in the first, and once in the second, does that mean we played 5 times better? Seriously, I'm not a math person. What are we on track for in the third?
