  1. is it because the nhl thought vegas would be weak for several years, that they don’t have to give anyone to the kraken?

      I don’t believe they get any of Seattle’s buy-in money. I think it was $500mill spread across the 30 NHL teams excluding Vegas. That’s why they don’t have to give up anyone. Total BS but that’s the NHL for ya

      Yeah, it was a very bad calculation that the NHL made.  

       

      Having witnessed Vancouver Grizzlies from the beginning to the end, I get why you want your expansion team to have a chance, but they basically allowed teams to protect 1 too few.  

       

      If they allowed one extra skater to be protected, I think it would've been a really good setup.  We should also give credit to the Vegas GM(s) though.  They did a fantastic job within the rules they were given. 

  2. i agree, if it comes down to marsha being the difference, i should not be able to count her but it will be on the record that i lost because of a writing error.
  3. i think we have 5 the same left. persoff as well
  4. who is next to go?. it is hard to catch up with some many of the same player. 4 or 5 more could go and our order could stay the same. if marsha passes, i may not get that one because i wrote down martha. but my finest move. my list next year will change greatly.
  5. i have one too. i picked lee marvin but i guess he has been dead for several years. good luck lad. this is an interesting contest.
  6. i just noticed a mistake on my list. i chose marsha hunt born in 1917. but on my list i wrote down martha hunt. she was born in 1989. i need a ruling from mr futz.
  7. your leaving me in your wake. i better wake up.
  8. rip marge champion. great dancer/ choreographer. 

  9. you could get those $5 plastic sticks from the red cross for a pint of blood.
  10. so you’ve gone the distance twice. well done lad.
  11. i could never able to catch anyone to take a penalty i worked with young offenders for 9 years. we played floor hockey almost ever night. great times.
  12. that was a good store. that was a good place to quit.
  13. we use to rent the back sheet of ice at the old forum. we played against another community. we all threw in a buck each. i couldn’t skate well enough to be good but had lots of enthusiasm. we have to be able to laugh at ourselves.
  14. i use to think that i could write a book on coaching baseball but i realized that i wasn’t the genius i thought i was. just good but not great. the story of my life.
  15. you didn’t finish. was that full monty?
  16. i too was a legend in my own mind. i was a better coach than a player but wes better at baseball.
  17. how many members have played hockey and how far did you go? asking for a friend.
  18. i tried to break into AJ’s dream last night to see if antoine was getting traded, but he has a security lock on his dreams. the dirty basket.
