    TooToo - the lovable little Tasmanian Devil

    I love the toughness he brings to this team, I love the forecheck he brings to this team and I love his tenacity. What people like myself don't like, is the d*uche-baggery cheapshots he brings. There's a big difference between playing with the above-mentioned traits and the antics Tootoo gets himself into.....and before anyone makes the Maltby comparisons, I'll stop you before you start. There's a big difference between the s*** Maltby used to pull versus what Tootoo has over the course of his career. We'll see how it goes, but if he keeps up the antics, I don't see myself cheering for him much...or defending him for that matter. If he keeps it clean, he'll win me over.

    NHL Center Ice

    I'm set up for auto-renewal on DirecTV. I just checked my account and unlike the other add-ons, there's no button for "sign-up" next to it. I assume I'm good to go, but no word on the price yet.

    2012 NFL Thread

    Well, GB sure s*** the bed. What bothers me is that we absolutely should've beaten that team. We simply made too many mistakes early and then came out flat in the second half. That's the sour taste in my mouth this Monday morning.

    Predictions: Packers @ 49'ers: Packers by 4 Seahawks @ Falcons: Seahawks by 3 Ravens @ Broncos: Broncos by 7 Texans @ Patriots: Patriots by 10 Yours? That's a rough Doughnut!

    I need a prayer answered, please.....no toot-toot whistles.

    Ever since Kenny signed him, I've been hoping that tradition wouldn't carry over to Detroit. It was the single most obnoxious thing whenever Detroit played in Nashville.

    Now What Can the NHL Do For You, the Fans

    I'd love to see it....doubt it will happen (Free Center Ice, that is).

    Tomas Holmstrom Retires

    It's amazing to think of the career he's had given the fact that had he not created his own style of play, he would've been out of the league well over a decade ago. Good on him for creating that style which is now a necessity on all NHL teams.

    Canadian hockey fans - they mad!

    What I don't get is this sense of entitlement any fan of any team has. It's what made beating Canada all that much better. If the CFL starting developing players in the NFL and they had a tournament in which they beat the USA, I wouldn't go all ape-sh*t like some here have. Just because you may have created a sport doesn't mean you own it or that you're not allowed to be beaten at it. To those b*tching....Grow Up and stop making the rest of your fans look bad.

    Which players will get bought out?

    Like it or not, Sammy, Tootoo & Carlo will all be here throughout this year at least.

    New CBA

    No, because I wouldn't last one season in that role. Given the scenario I was presented, that would leave me with $1,025,000 and probably a concussion or two. The other role puts me at $2,625,000 career earnings and a hell of lot better chance of being healthier leaving the game. If you can't tell, I'm all about the numbers.

    What Happened to Realignment?

    On top of that, I'm willing to bet 53.33% of the league's teams (16, that is) shot it down because it gave an unfair advantage to the two smaller divisions totaling 14. It was an interesting thought if the league had enough teams to be divisible by 4, but it was stupid to put it out there given the NHL has 30 teams. Drop the league to 28 teams or add 2 and they may have had a decent shot of passing it.

    New CBA

    Nope, because I've never been much of a fighter in my life. I grew up playing the scoring/defensive Center role. However, I'd absolutely play the Patrick Eaves role on any NHL team. What happened to him does happen, but not all that often when you look at the percentage of those types of players in the NHL.

    New CBA

    The players know the risks full well and as a result, that's on them. No one's holding a gun to their heads...they have every single right to choose whichever occupation they'd like. Besides, minimum salary in the NHL is $525,000. If you last even 5 years, there's no excuse for you to not be able to live off that the rest of your life if you're willing to live a more modest lifestyle (I.E. $50-$75K per year based on the Economic Rule of 7). How many people have the opportunity to say that when they're roughly 27 years old? They're not getting sympathy from me. They choose their path and its up to them to make their money last. I know I would if I had NHL Grinder level talent.

    NHL, NHLPA reach tentative agreement on new CBA

    The playoffs aren't on Center Ice anymore. The NBC Sports networks cover all the games now. DirecTV has already stated that they will adjust the price accordingly based on if/when the deal got done. I expect a prorated bill around $85-$100 for the season.

    I'm seriously surprised it got done but uber-excited. I don't know what I would've done once the Football season ended.

    New CBA

    Exploiting?!?! Please. That's a stretch. It's not as if every single hockey player in the NHL wasn't making far more than the average Joe. I have a very difficult time feeling much sympathy for either the players or the owners.

    2012 NFL Thread

    Not that it will, but if it makes you feel any better, Crosby is a d*mn joke and may very well cost this team the Super Bowl. Not to mention the fact that the punt, cross-field pitch will go down in history as the single dumbest play-call given the situation. Talk about zero self-awareness of what was going on in the game. On top of that, Grant not protecting the ball against the best ball-stripper in the NFL when they were about to put Chicago away for good....ugh! The Packers truly tried to give this one to the Bears. I guess that's also the sign of a good team.....one that's able to overcome huge mistakes and misses.

    Santa says the Maple Leafs suck

    Arrested or removed from the situation, it almost seems like you think it's ok for someone to publicly state that Santa isn't real. I'd be pretty pissed off if I was walking with my daughter and some &sshole was publicly making this statement. Just because that person is bitter, doesn't mean they need to ruin things for everyone else. Sidenote: I highly doubt his rap sheet says, "Arrested for telling the truth". More likely, its public indecency or disturbing the peace. All of which are illegal....atleast in the USA.

    [Retired] Official Lockout Thread

    I haven't heard anything about the proposed realignment and I'd be willing to be it's not even being discussed right now given the fact that they have much bigger fish to fry. Sidenote: I love the idea of realignment. I hated their proposal simply due to the fact that it gave the "Old Eastern" conference teams a better shot at making the playoffs given they had two less teams than the "Old Western" (no pun intended) conference. The best they can do right now is realign and keep the 6 divisions because you can't make it square with 4 unless you add or drop 2 teams (dropping two teams....also not a bad idea).
