The Montreal Canadiens have placed Aaron Ness on waivers. Unless claimed he will clear in 48 hours.

@Monty you gotta leave those kind of posts up longer so we can all see them before they're gone

Not up to me on those. I only mod Around the NHL and Off Topic. Want to avoid “sh***ing where I eat” as much as possible. It’s nice not having to worry about things as much here.

 

To be honest, the mod team typically avoids the Fantasy forum, as they know it’s made up of a group of people who understand the tone. Everything here is pretty tongue and cheek and not meant to be taken seriously at all.

 

However, once in a while (*cough* Drew/Swede *cough*) then it’s brought up to a higher level. For the former, that was just posting that had no place anywhere. For the latter, there was loads of behind the scenes stuff that goes far beyond drunk posting and losing your marbles.

On a lighter (off-season?) Note: the story behind that gif is pretty cool! It was the most expensive shot ever in silent film.history, because it was a real train and a real.bridge! Thus had to be done in one take, since like.....trains and bridges are expensive and junk

Did you just listen to the same podcast as me?

No! Though if you have a good podcast recommendation I'd love to hear it, I just caught up on TAZ. I read an article somewhere on the depth of the internet years ago (maybe talking about most expensive special effects when avatar came out ?) That mentioned the train shot

Are you saying that the rest of the things exploding in films since then HAVEN'T been real? I was wondering how they managed to build that death star..

Unspooled - Hosted by Paul Scheer and Amy Nicholson.

 

They started their podcast (although Scheer and Nicholson have been doing separate ones for years) about 2 months ago. They are going through AFI’s top 100 movies of all time (as of 2008 updated list). Randomly picking which ones to watch.

 

Very interesting. Episodes on Ben-Hur, Titanic, Citizen Kane were the best. Especially Ben-Hur.

Paul Scheer is excellent. Loved him in The League

We'd like to welcome Jordan to the organization. Many think this is an over payment... but we certainly don't. We know that Jordan will be a full time NHLer eventually.

That's a pretty bold move buying out Condon. I think he'll be a stable #2 goalie. If I didn't already have the most historic goaltending tandem in Lui & Miller, I woulda picked him up. Surprised no one did... dog days of summer!

This trade was all about getting back down to 50 contracts for me. Not sure of Stralman long term with the Lightning. However, even if he extends with them, I have some insurance in prospects with Volkov, Joseph, and Tammela.

 

Also a big fan of Orlov, so this balances out my lineup as well.
