    Generally speaking, showers.I don't fit very well in my current tub anyway but in my first apartment I had this bad ass surf green Victorian style tub that was huge. If I had that still, I'd say baths, but I dont. Krispy kreme or Dunkin donuts.

    I know.I've tried to make it sound like a great idea, bit kips just not feeling it. I guess I can see why now that well have pulks and or Jurco on the bench/4th line. But still.

    I feel really bad for his wife and the kids, the laws around DV in russia, as I understand them, are a lot more lax.

    Hahaha.Marriage seems wayyy too final, and I'm much too laid back to want to be in a permanent fight. And I cant say that to my Oma, she would literally beat me with the heaviest object nearest to her, or just her hand with Those qvc rings with the lemon sized half faux blood jewel, add to that her giant arthritic knuckles. Ha.

    When I was in 4th grade, I convinced my mom and my girlfriends mom that I liked guys so they'd be cool with us staying the night together. They only lived a couple blocks away and we "dated" till the 8th grade. If I do ever settle down and have kids, I really hope they're not like me when I was growing up. Ha. I wonder if her mom still thinks I'm into dudes, that would be funny.

    Matt Wuest Prospect Tournament Thread

    Also. I get that mantha looks lazy, but hes not a heart and soul guy, he gets himself into the soft areas of the ice to use his shot, because he has a ridiculous wrist shot. Brett hull did the same thing, he looked like he was floating, but he was setting himself up to be in a position to take a shot without people noticing him. But hull is like 5'6'' and manthas 6'5'', its impressive he can get into scoring position like he has this tourney, because how do you miss marfan syndrome "sneaking" into the slot. He's never used his size the way people would want him to, and I don't expect him to change that, that's just not who he is. And you shouldn't expect him to go all out in a prospect tourney either, especially with what happened to him last year. Let him get back in the sway of things, stay healthy, and rebound from his "very, Very, very, very, very disappointing" first pro season. Sure he looks like he's kind of floating around but he's Still in position, he's still covering his areas. And playing on a line with dylark/aa he doesn't have to chase down the play, because the other two take three strides and have already gotten in position. His defensive responsibility is to cover the guy coming in late sneaking into the slot on the back check. And even though he's not crashing the net like a madman(in a tournament which is basically a friendly match) trying to bang home rebounds, he looks more positionally sound defensively. Which is huge. And he was in position where he could have easily followed up his rebound, and yes covering the boards when it looks like the puck might come up that way. I wish he had Larkin's work ethic, but If that line stays together he won't have to, he'll have to keep floating into the soft areas unseen to get that mantha ray off.

    I actually think nosek has a chance of making the wings, dependent upon what happens with helm/miller/Andersson/Ferraro. We do have an abundance of 3rd/4th liners, but there is the possibility that we see a fair amount of turnover. If we can get helm cheap enough, of like him to stay. But I have a feeling someone in free agency will over pay him.(he is a Babcock kinda player) Miller probably will stay until he's no longer a good enough option on the pk and all that, then he'll go to gr and be a player coach. Ferraros a toss up, he's only on a one year deal, and if we stay relatively healthy(k.o.w.) he's not going to get a fair shot here. And I think well eventually waive Andersson this season. Apparently I like nosek much more than most. If we do lose helm, then I obviously like Larkin starting there and working his way up the depth chart more than I would nosek, but he's a good two way player. Plus he hasn't been in n.a. long, hell get better on the offensive side of things. He actually has a good set of hands. And I'd also rather have athanasiou on the team, than nosek. But its starting to look like they may be moving aa to wing to play with Larkin since he's probably one maybe 15 guys in the NHL that can keep up with him. Larkin is fast as hell, but I think aa would probably be one of the fastest players in the NHL. I did have really high hopes that larkin/aa would turn into a 1a/1b eventually, but sheahan looks like he could be a 2nd line c like ror, ~50 points with stellar defense. Plus athanasiou has always had some trouble using his line mates effectively at c, which is probably because of his speed, but the kids got amazinggggg hands. Him dangling up the wing at 100mph with Larkin right behind him. Could be an amazing duo.

    Over/Under for Larkin's time as a Red Wing in 15/16

    To me 71 is just a better number for a skilled player, 17 still belongs to Doug brown in my eyes.

    Some random thoughts from the highlights. Larkin mantha and athanasiou together is an amazing line combo, you could have two literal pylons playing defense with them and I feel like there still wouldn't be any fast breaks against us. And damn can mantha finish. Everytime I see little Bert play, I like him more and more. For being a "pest" he's pretty damn good positionally. Nosek is another one I hope we have room for in Detroit at some point, he does a lot of good things. And turgeon looks like he's getting a lot better quickly, his skating looks much more fluid than it did last time I watched him. We have a lot of prospects who have NHL futures, there's just not room for them all.

    I like Larkin in 71, and Athanasiou in 72. I think They'll be our #1 centers in the future, and the second digit reflects that. Which I like for some odd reason.

    But you can't see his tears, because he's crying into an ocean.A beautiful ocean. On a gorgeous Florida beach. With three triplets yelling at him to get out of the way, and one of them is complaining his wrist hurts.
