  1. Sitting around doing nothing in the press box is the ideal job for Biega.
  2. They tend to score alot more goals (which inflates that plus/minus number)....helped in part by McCann's scoring goals for them.
  3. Dumb thing is, I didn't figure that out until the 3rd time I took the course (each time I was copying off of you).
  4. I sat behind you in Calculus and cheated off of you in our Finals. Needless to say I failed. Lesson learned.
  5. EP is a franchise player. He can make *ME* look good if I laced up the skates & I can't skate backwards.
  6. They got their medical advice from Dr. Recchi...
  7. You’re just repeating what your wife has been telling you. edit: I was talking about Loui!
  8. With salary retention as an added incentive, I think you might be right re: Sens)
  9. Actually his contract is a bit weird in that while his salary for each of the next two years is one million (with bonuses paid in the offseason for the difference)....the final year of his contract (groan........three more seasons of this garbage) his salary jumps back up to three million (with a one million bonus paid a few months before that season starts).
  10. I’m not sure a comparison to Pearson is warranted given that he is 26 (turns 27 in August) compared to McCann who is 22. More upside potential in one over the other.
  11. I want to go back to the Imperial system. Screw the metric system. I know at least 'oldnews' is with me on this.
  12. That’s the deadly thing about a lot of forms of cancer. It weakens you so little each day, you don’t really notice anything until the cumulative effects take the disease to a point of no return. Hope for the best for Alex Trebek...grew up watching Jeopardy as a kid.
  13. Fortunately we got lucky in that Lucic turned us down. At least Loui can be ‘ok’ bottom six defensive winger. Lucic is well past his due date. Plus can you imagine Ryan Miller and Lucic in the same locker room?
  14. Guds scores a goal today! (Unfortunately, it was an ‘own goal’)
  15. I'd easily renew my tickets if you came out of a birthday cake....wearing err uhhh....
  16. I don't see how he could be any safer than Beagle. Course I also felt Rousell would've been the far worse of the FA signings at the start of the year, so what the **** do I know? Without salary retention, even if Chiapet was still GM of the Oilers, no GM is going to want Schaller unless a crap salary was coming back.
  17. Evidently you’ve never heard of the legendary Taro Tsujimoto. Even though he was a late round pick, he turned out to be a huge force for the Sabres. Should’ve been a first ballot HHOFer but anti-Japanese sentiment from the sports writers born in the 40s have refused to vote for him. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro_Tsujimoto
  18. I had some pretty cool old hockey cards from the 60s given to me from my uncle. Got a bunch of 60s Marvel comics as well from him. Sadly, they all went the way of the local landfill during one of my mom’s annual spring cleanings.
  19. I will say the gum in these card packs taste like cats for some reason (and don’t ask me how I know what a cat tastes like...)
  20. Now go home and get your shoebox Ryan Strome! (I'd post that classic Goodfellas movie scene but it's NSFW - language)
  21. Depends on which version of Superman. There’s the alternate version where the Kal-El’s rocket ship lands in the Soviet Union instead of Kansas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman:_Red_Son
  22. What makes it especially irritating is that McCann also plays left wing (a spot we're kind of weak in).
