We're doomed.

Ya, so instead of possibly having Dahlin, we may have to face him 8 times a year!

QUICK, give up another one!!!!!! NO LOSER POINT!!!!!

Dammit, why are we winning?

Ok, I feel like a dillard, who is #26?

Agreed! Here is an older article, but it touches base on some reasons they aren't mandatory. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2011/03/buckle_up_if_you_can.html So, the cost of retro-fitting buses and/or adding to new buses outweighs the cost of a life? Tell that to the parents of one of these these kids!

14 of these beautiful souls were taken from us. Please remember what is important in life and live it to its fullest! God Bless and RIP!

Hug and hold your children as tight as you can! I'm hundreds of miles away from mine right now, but I just got off the phone with them. Life can be extinguished in a second.

So sad.... There are some news photos on Twitter, but I won't post them here out of respect. Not gory, just shows bus, but still no need to put them up. Just an FYI in case you want to search for them.

If I'm any version of him, it's this one!

Not to mention the two high 2nds. Its going to be a good 4 picks!

Mikko Koivu, Douglas Murray, Aaron Eckhart.....Ron Jeremy. My Wife? Steve Yzerman.

Didn't need the point, but man it's so glaring how s***ty Howard is...

While looking around for other "Great" players who may have received such respect, I ran across a "highlight" reel of Mark Messier....sheesh, never realized what a ******* dirty goon that guy was! Plus all his "highlight" goals, he wouldn't score 10 on today's goaltenders with those weak ass shots. OVERRATED! WAY Overrated! "The Captain" my ass! anyhow, couldn't find many videos of appreciation like the Sedins got, 1st class!

Gretzky yes, Mario was a playoff elimination so the opposition team was out there anyhow.

I honestly don't recall teams or refs doing that for any other player...maybe Gretzky? I think its time to scour Youtube!

AFTER next season you're right, but next season his cap hit is $5.2M. Thats $5.2M we could use if our 3 RFA's cost us $15M. But ok...

But we are going to suck, especially with Howard in net. Halak is no worse and would cost a lot less. We could use Jimmy's cap, especially if we land JT. Our RFA's are going to cost us more than most of us think. So ya, the more cap room the better.

Ok, re-stated: "If we're going to SUCK, I'd rather not SUCK while paying a goalie $5.2M to SUCK, we can SUCK just as good (or bad) with cheaper goalies."

I said we can go with Halak and Coreau and tank as well, and put out less money. I said IF we are able to draft Dahlin and get JT then we go with who we can and actively start looking to upgrade. Go with who we can until we find one. I said IF we are able to get Dahlin and JT, then I would like to see us actively look for a goalie to take us into the playoffs. Because if we landed those two, I am not sure I'd want to tank it again. I like the high picks, but would much rather see us win and be back in the playoffs! I didn't say Halak was that much better, he'd just be cheaper. Again, I don't mind the tank (especially if we don't get Dahlin and or JT) BUT I rather not pay our goalie $5.2M to do so...

No, I am all for tanking and with a goalie that is not as good or equal to Howard, I just don't want to pay a goalie $5.2M to tank. We can tank better with less money....no tripping over feet here, walking tall!

In hindsight ya, but on the day of the draft Carson was supposed to be the hands down top pick. If was a bit of a shocker that they didn't draft him.

I didn't like the pick, but I sure hope to be wrong about Ras-Mas-Taz!

Ya, you're right! Arizona has us in ROW's! Bonus!
