  1. I'm sure our fine, upstanding boys will have no desire to do anything that would sully the reputation of our great game or of the league, or cause any embarrassment to their parents or spouses or bring shame upon their family names.

    Except maybe a few....

    dozen.

    If this was a few years back, I'd go with Kane, but he seems to have settled down.  Probably be some young kid.


  2. I just went and checked to see who is left unsigned for teams and there are a lot of players that are marginal and/or young that are going overseas.

    I wonder if some are not taking a year to play in a league where they will let them off for the Olympics.  You know the teams will be watered down without NHL players.  A guy like AA might have the chance.

    Obviously if a player has an NHL contract or can get a good one, he'll stay, but if the choice is between mediocre money here and good money there plus a chance to play in the Olympics, how many players might not take a year away from the NHL for that experience?

    Not saying this is AA specifically, just throwing it out there.


  3. Ooh, that's a hard one.. In general, I prefer cold to hot because you can always add more clothes, but you can't always take them off.  That said, as a North Dakotan, I prefer summer because there's no shoveling, no warming up the car, no worrying about getting snowed in at work or home, and there's hockey.

    Chicken or eggs?


  4. The last 3 years are the only time since 1986 when I haven't had 2 jobs or had a full-time job whilst going to school full time.  I guess I kind of have 2 jobs now since I've started a business on the side.  I make candles as a hobby and have started selling them at events.

    The person below me is a Gemini, Irish, or a vegan.


  5. I was hoping we'd get him.  One of the few reasons I didn't throw things when Pissburgh won again.  (Cullen being the other.)
    Reasonable contract, I'd say, all things considered.  We've been begging Holland to give us help on the D and he did.
    Witkowski will be playing F, but can play D if needed when/if injuries arise.


  6. I have not.  I'm not a fan of tea.  I have watched the Facts. video where they try it.

    The person below me has a crafting hobby and will now tell us about it.  (If you know anything about people with crafting hobbies, you know the last part of that sentence was unnecessary.)
