"Gonna Get Close To You" - Lisa Dalbello

I'm wondering if Weber will still be a perennial Norris Trophy contender without a partner like Suter to have his back. Kind of like the co-dependence of Keith and Seabrook. I don't even know who, of their d-men they can pair with him to be complimentary. Maybe today just became Klein's lucky day.

Congrats to Canada on their acquisition of another (soon to be) team. Now where to put them????

NHL labour dispute: A "players" perspective. http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2012/07/21/spf-labour-dispute-players-perspective-collective-bargaining-agreement.html

Everything I know, I learned from Cheech and Chong movies and records,and Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Chips. The thick crunchy kind. Deal, or No Deal?

"Someone Should" - Saga

In saying what you just said, wouldn't you think the owners should get more than a 50/50 share? What financial risk does the player have? Guaranteed contracts, have zero financial risk for the players. If Franzen turns into Cheechoo, he still gets paid a large amount of his contract. If Illitch plays like Cheechoo, he just lost Millions of dollars. The risk/reward is much greater for the owners. Also, I don't really like the long term contracts, though I feel they should "allow" 1 or 2 per team to be dedicated to keeping "franchise" players of whom the team has drafted and developed. The rest, I would like to see a 5-6 year maximum on. As much fun as it may be to watch a GM paint himself into a corner with $100 million lifetime contracts to lure the top free agents, it really just leads to another lockout coming in the future, and doesn't promote a healthy business model. The main priority of the CBA, is to keep the business of hockey at a sustainable level. Let's hope both sides can remember that.

"Lay Down Sally" - Eric Clapton

"Farm On The Freeway" - Jethro Tull

Of course not. We're speculators, speculating on speculation. This is "Let's Go Wallstreet", isn't it. Anyway, I don't think we are in any position to move Filppula anyway. I think the injuries to Datsyuk and Helm last season showed us how thin we really were down the middle. And we're still a few years away from having any of our prospects make that big step.

What is this wet substance falling from the sky??

"Rock 'N' Roll Suicide - David Bowie

"Bring The Boys Back Home" - Pink Floyd

Duuuuuude. I'm soooo baked. Soft pretzel, or, Hard pretzel?

I haven't heard anything. As long as it tastes good. It's not like I'm going to change my ways now. The person below me, wonders if, and why, EVERYBODY loves Raymond.

Farewell to an old friend, "Funk Brother", Bob Babbitt. Visiting Nashville just won't be the same without you. Thank you for the years of friendship. Good journeys my friend.

"Sex Nerve" - Adrian Belew

"Sex Farm" - Spinal Tap Edit: changed my mind on song.

All Hail, The Lord! Because one Marshall stack just isn't enough for a B-3.

Don't we already have a superfluity of forwards.

I NEED to go to bed early every night. But, rarely does that happen. The person below me looks at Mondays as a bad thing, instead of seeing them as a whole new beginning to a wonderful week.
