Yep. The person below me has had an unusual hairdo.

Process of the catch needs to go. Go back to the ball breaking the plane of the goal. -
Well, the offense and defense have both had their first series. No where to go but up. Can I just cry now?

I would take back every word I said about our power play under Beast to have him back and alive. For some reason Salei's death hit me harder than any other hockey death that summer despite my having been a fan of Boogaard, who died shortly before him. May their families and friends find peace.

I can't stand it in any way, shape, or form, so if people drink it black, more power to them. The person below me is turning into their parent(s) as they age.

"I'm good." That expression has to go. I ask people if they want a bag or copy of their receipt or something like that and they say, "Yeah, I'm good." "No, thanks. I'm good" I can understand. It means no. "That's ok" and "That's alright" are in the same category since they are frequently preceded by something that sounds like "yeah", but might not be. "Yes, please" and "No, thank you" are the way to go. -
It just said cash. It could have been some sort of collection or something. Or it could have been that he had translated some money from one country's currency to another.

Ok... When someone asks "DOES THIS HAVE NUTS?" and it does have nuts, you say "YES". You don't say, "Oh, just try them, you'll like them" or "Don't worry- they're all ground up; you can't taste them". And, yes, almond paste counts as a nut. -

We need to get together and eat jelly beans. The black ones are the ones that I won't touch. Anyone who starts a sentence "In my country..." should be reminded that we aren't there. Note that this applies only to those who think that because they do it that way there means that it can only be done that way. It does not apply to people who are just sharing information about what it was like back home. I enjoy those conversations as they are often quite interesting. -
Canada's aren't that bad except for that they look like sweat-shirts. If they hockeyed them up a bit, they'd be ok.
-
I wonder if they knew that it was his place? I'm sure it was in a nice part of town and that they figured there'd be money. I hope that it was just gadgets and stuff, not hockey memorabilia or family stuff. I was going to say that I hope they catch the bastard and make him stand unprotected in net as Pavel takes 100 slap shots at him, but this is Pavel; 99 of them would go right past him.

Many good points here. I agree with most people's assessments. I picked Franzen because he's the one that could turn it on... or not. If he does, look out.

Them shirts is perdy.

Good read, Jedi. They forgot to mention that the font has to be small enough to fit Niederrieter on the back.

Not if you work in a c-store. Not saying everyone I meet is a person that I want to meet, but I do have to opportunity. The person below me always sniffs the milk before pouring, no matter how fresh the date says it is.

Businesses who force their employees to plus sell should be inundated with complaints. It's one thing to let a customer know about a sale, which I do all the time, or make a recommendation, but it's another to require that every sale involve a plus sell. I hate plus selling when I'm a customer, and I hate doing it if it's not customer service when I'm on the other side of the counter. Plus selling is annoying, but I know that people nowadays are forced to do it or be unemployed, so I don't take it out on them. Where I work, if you get a "mystery shopper" and you don't sell, you are suspended for your next seven regularly-scheduled shifts. Second offense, and you're terminated. Fortunately, this is my part time gig. I know who hates it and I don't do it to them. -
I had one last week, but I was certainly overdue. The last one I'd had before that was during a Wings game. The person below me has/had to work Labor Day.

Not a fur fan- real or fake. Too itchy. My sister did give me a small pink afghan that was a fake fur that is nice and warm. It's also fun to say "pink faux mink throw" ten times fast. Bass or catfish?

Better. Now they just need new home ones- the less elfin, the better. The red and green in the logo is fine, but there needs to be less red in the rest of the uni or the whole thing looks like their helmets should have pointy ears and their skates should have curly toes.

Agree with Playmaker and, by extension, GMR. If Mule was saying that he doesn't want to score goals, I'd be freaking out. He's saying that it isn't all that he wants to do. He's saying that he wants to be a more complete hockey player. He didn't start out as a goal scorer. The label was thrust on him when he started scoring goals. (Yeah, I know- "duh" statement of the year.) If he could get back to what he was before- a guy who earned the nickname "Mule"- and still score the goals, he'd be the player that he's quoted as saying that he wants to be. That's the guy I'm hoping to see. He's not comfortable in the spotlight. Maybe he needs someone else to do his interviews so he can just go out and play hockey.

I like football. I also enjoy watching curling, but I don't follow it except in the Olympics. The person below me has a birthmark.

The fatter the chick, the more this applies: (and I say this as a fat chick) When trying on clothes to wear out for a night of drinking, stand slouched in front of the mirror. If you have to hold in your tummy to get it to look good, you should just pick another shirt because you won't be holding in that tummy after a few drinks. Also, the fatter you are, the more skin you need to cover. -
Mow it myself. It's a small yard, and I try to do for myself. I've had to hire it done a few times when my back refused to cooperate. Unfortunately it's been so dry here that I haven't had to mow since June. Even my weeds are dead. Eat too much at a meal or too little?

From the article. So he's not a goal scorer. He's a hockey player. I'd rather have a guy who's just as happy to set someone else up as he is to score. Just so long as the puck goes in the net, I don't care whose stick it hits first.
