Perhaps so, but Pronger has done little/nothing to help his standing in here or in general as one of the league's dirtiest players. Not suggesting that he changes his game to do that just to cater to fans which is absurd obviously, but don't act surprised when people don't really feel sorry for him in a situation like this given his past incidents, whether those instances or this call was fair or not.

Wow, another endless Hudler and Filppula debate. That's never happened in here before. *awaiting the IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T POST IN HERE* response *shrugs*

Can't say I feel sorry for him, whether it was the wrong call or not.

There's a boatload of blight down here in the New Orleans area, partially due to poverty and partially to Hurricane Katrina in the recent past. There's also plenty of good things and beautiful buildings and atmosphere about New Orleans as well at present. I choose to focus on the good stuff. I'm sure the Detroit area is the same way more/less.

You're trying to discuss with somebody who always responds like he's on a soapbox and has always obsessively hated Hudler even when he was doing good.

Jam if I was forced to choose, don't really like either. The Submarine or The Thimble

Sure, even though they probably don't have much of a chance. The person below me does not want to eat this turkey today despite it being Thanksgiving. The person below me also think this is funny. The person below me is also thaknful that this will probably be the last Swedish Chef dealie I can think of posting for a while. The person below me also thinks I am full of s**t.

Pardon me, I got nothing to say. *shrugs*

This, along with the fact that the Red Wings have gotten off to a solid start and know the Hudler has produced in the recent past. Whether being out of the league a year will continue to affect his play/lack thereof remains to be seen, but I don't see much need to pull a trigger on anything yet regarding this. Hudler's lack of production is frustrating and the right message is being sent in scratching him, but there's no need to make roster/personnel switches to this sense yet.

Was barely doing anything for the Wings and his time was up. Kudos to him getting it done in a different place. Best of luck to him in the future.

Probably will. The person below me thinks this is funny.

Early, but it doesn't matter all that much to be. More unusual cooking method... Turtle Soup or Salad

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side.

Cool. I do understand. And you should still post here. I wasn't necessarily seeking advice approval, was just really baffled at the reaction I got, basically was like what the heck did I do when I couldn't think of anything obvious. Don't take this the wrong way, but through my success, I had nobody or nothing else. No trainers. Nobody. No calorie counting with food. No formal diet with strict rules. No strict rules saying that I had to weigh so-and-so by this date or eat exactly 'x' amount of calories a day or I'm off my plan by this much or my progress is utter crap if it didn't happen! Just basically kept my expectations to making progress here/there gradually and don't eat so bad, that's it. Sure, people told me whenever conversations were up to keep up the great work and all that jazz, which I do appreciate, but the only source there that continued to push me, was me. Myself, my decisions, my attitude, my accepting that progress will eventually happen if I don't quit, and my wanting to do things my way. Not trying to discount other factors. I definitely eat better. I've seen trainers where I go. I'd love to have their appearance if genetically I was a little taller or bigger. They're more than well-qualified for their jobs. But I like the job I've done with myself, and it was just me doing it. And in the end that could be all that's really needed. It can be done.

To add on real quick, I was giving you insight and advice or tips as best I can, not being degrading or disrespectful or personally attacking at all, and I'm getting dumped on like I'm a moronic dips**t for even trying to help or suggest things. Seriously, what is your problem right now? Forget the woe is me part, I don't care about that. Can handle that fine. Curious to know what the problem is because you got me pretty confused right now.

Beautiful. It takes a lot for me to dislike a player and I dislike very few athletes, but Perry is one of them. This made my late morning!

Apparently. You scoff at not caring, but that's a big part of it. Care about yourself, take care of yourself as best you can how you want to, and in the end you got no regrets if you did your best. It isn't worth caring about the opinion or remark of the Average Joe on the street or in the gym that you are never going to converse with or be friends or make contact with for the rest of your life. If a friend or family member or whatever says something snarky about look or appearance, maybe you should consider if they are actually your friend. Care/take care of yourself first and foremost.

People judge of course. It's not worth getting down over or caring about. Society/how you look by the general public is always going to be full of s**t and overhyped. If somebody says I'm too skinny or need to be more muscular or whatever else, cool, that's their deal. I know I'm not going into a bodybuilding contest ever in my life. I'm not going to view that as an attack on my psyche or well being physically or mentally or get in a tussle with that person over it. And others progress should not be viewed as an attack on my or others progress/lackthereof. I define how I want to look and feel. If I want to look like a feather, I'll eventually look like a feather. If I want to stuff myself with fatty acids and weigh 200 pounds, I'll enjoy doing that. I know I look good or fit, mentally I know my attitude is positive or motivating or happy regardless of my physical condition, that's all that matters. Not judgements or what society might label me. If feeling good means you want to drop 50 pounds and be proud of yourself, drop 50 pounds. If feeling good means you want to enjoy eating what you want or not giving a damn so much about looks and appearnce, stuff yourself silly. It's what you personally want to do, not anybody else.

Epic!

I don't think anybody's doing that in here and hopefully nobody does that in anybody's neck of the woods. Anyways, a little over a month ago I ran a half marathon. Sure I lost some weight in the process, but well before the marathon, I more/less topped out in consistently losing weight. I actually hit my lowest weight ever in god knows how long recently when I stepped on a scale, but it wasn't anything astronomically lower than what I typically weigh now. Would I like to drop 5 pounds more? Sure. But I'm not really focused on that. At present I'm probably as fit as I've ever been in my life, I'm well within a healthy weight range, and I typically don't go nuts eating bad on my diet. I almost always enjoy working out and running. Now it is just focusing on that and taking it as a challenge to stay fit and healthy. Consistently keeping a good attitude and wanting to do the activities day in and day out make a huge difference.

If not Hudler, my only other guess would be Abdelkader since it's more/less 4th line rotation stuff. No inklings that anybody has read I think to suggest Helm would be scratched anytime soon. Though I would be shocked if it's Abdelkader. I'm not throwing Hudler under the bus so soon like is the general consensus here at present, but right now he's the one that stands out the most that isn't doing anything of significant value to produce, fair or not. My guess is still Happy.

I absolutely had the best workout I've had in god knows how long this early morning. 1/2 hour of cardio work, burned 545 calories. Not a misprint. 18 2/3 calories per minute.

Forgot to include this in my blurb last night. I've been to a game in Nashville before, about an 8-9 hour drive where I'm from. Plenty of people get down on Nashville here for whatever reasons and I'm not going to try to change those thoughts in a forceful or extreme way. Sure the Tootoo Train whistles concept is a bit silly and a lot of it comes for me disliking Tootoo plenty, but it's part of the fan experience there he is a fan favorite there no matter whether we like him or not/think he is a dirty player. I'm fighting a losing battle if I try to tell them he's a dolt. If they like him, cool. As long as the fan experience doesn't hurt anybody it doesn't bother me one bit. The one time I went to Nashville was in 2009 when we got lit up 8-0, but I had absolutely no problems or issues with the fans there, wasn't really looking to go out of my way for reasons to get upset at them. Good people there.

Only teams I really dislike are Anaheim, Pittsburgh, and Calgary. I'm all for physical play but Anaheim just goes too far at times with gooning it up. Pittsburgh for obvious reasons. Calgary to a lesser degree than Anaheim. Besides that I don't have beef with any teams. Don't really share with the Chicago disliking, though I don't live up north close to it so that probably plays a factor. Don't really get into the hockey shouldn't be in the South b.s. stuff so I don't mind most the Southern teams. Rivalry with the Avalanche is all but dead so don't really have thoughts towards them one way or another.

Disturbing, but I'll play. Mom, because I'm male. Statler or Waldorf (Statler's on the left, if you don't remember they were the hecklers on the Muppets)
