Such a drag updating this thread so frequently ..... Gary Rossington, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Last Original Member, Dead at 71 The founding member and guitarist, who provided the seagull-like slide guitar leads to Skynyrd’s signature “Free Bird,” survived the band’s infamous 1977 plane crash https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/gary-rossington-lynyrd-skynyrd-dead-1209960/ RIP Gary. Thanks for the great tunes.

RIP Gary Rossington the last original member. Oops put this in the wrong thread.

It's been going on forever. Way back when, we had a defenceman named Robert Nordmark. The abuse he was subjected to was way over the top. I can't imagine how unbearable it would have been for him if there was social media. He was so picked on by the home fans at the Pacific Coliseum the 'fans' would boo EVERY time he touched the puck. Even if he was just collecting the puck behind his own goalie. The team eventually had to trade him as an act of mercy. Correction - He wasn't actually traded. He simply left and went back to Sweden. Where be played another 10 seasons.

Got to hand it to this guy he keeps getting work. He's only played 29 games this year and all of them in the AHL and here he is back in the show. -
Are people really arguing the importance of drafting high? Let's just look at 2 players from three teams..... Since 2009 Chicago - 3 cups Kane drafted #1, Toews drafted #3 Pittsburgh - 3 cups (4 trips to finals) Crosby #1, Malkin #2 Tampa Bay 2 cups (4 trips to finals) Stamkos #1, Hedman #2 That's 8 Stanley Cups in 11 Finals appearances. So is drafting inside the top 3 a crap shoot? Yes it is, occasionally you're going to get a Cam Barker or a Nail Yakupov. But it's pretty damn hard to win without those kind of picks.
