They just don't like showing up early.

Goaltenders are injured across the NHL. Price and Lundkvist have not injured their knees... yet. Still another month before they start to need stretches of time off to heal.

Now, based on the spin that PoMo gave the other day, Lowry won't make the same mistake and lose his man, allowing the Craps to seal the win.

Don't call it a comeback....

It's made even worse with all the bonus money. Can't buy it out. Albatross.

I don't think Stafford and Myers are on IR.

That's interesting but not surprising. I think Chevy was fortunate to keep Buff and not Ladd. Thank goodness Ladd held out for more money! He got it and the Islanders will be saddled with that contract for seven years. The poor GM that replaces Snow will curse his name everyday.

I'm saying I don't think it changed direction. What we need is for our goaltenders to get better. And they'll get better with experience.

Possibly.

I don't agree. I see it hitting Helle's glove. Look, right at the tip of the glove.

Let's pretend this is true for a moment. Imagine that conversation... Maas: Honey, you need to get job. Ms Maas: What? Why? Maas: I'm not wearing a microphone and the CFL is going to fine me. Ms Maas: Why don't you want to wear a microphone? Maas: On principle. Ms Maas: Well, do other coaches have to wear them? Maas: Oh yes. So, can you start looking? Ms Maas: Oh for sure. But I'm not taking any job where I can't dictate the exact terms of my employment. Where I'll only follow the rules that I want. Maas: What? Why? Ms Maas: On principle.

Getting out of IGF is so slow anyhow, I don't know if we would notice the difference. If we win, we won't care but if we lose, we may join them on the picket line! -------------------- This strike may have a longer horizon. The administration has been trying to change how the professors are being evaluated. So far, UMFA has blocked the changes but this could be the big one. Both sides are dug in.

Nope, can't hear anyone from 233. He's in row 3 and I sit almost directly in front of him in row 1. For the most part, the "accused" is okay. He just sounds obnoxious and should really just keep the volume down. No one else wants to hear his opinion on why the Bombers play poorly. But it's a sporting event, so it's expected. And, he rarely swears. If he did more frequently, I would politely ask him not to. We all rant and rave in 234 but we keep it to a conversation level amongst those around us. He does not. All in all, it could be far worse. I probably get more agitated by it when the Bombers are losing (or when he badmouths Westerman).

No, I'm in 234. For the most part, we're a pretty quiet section. We get loud for the defense and chat amongst ourselves but we don't rant and rave. That is, except for this one individual. He's mostly just trying to get attention but sometimes he crosses the line with his language. I try to ignore it, so that my son does not pick up on it, but sometimes it gets bad. Saturday, was one of those days.

Still an RFA? Holy macaroni... He must have arbitration rights. So, what does that mean for the Jets? They can let him walk to the KHL and still hold his rights when he gets back? Or is that it?

I'm not sure what was worse, the play on the field or the blowhard in my section ranting and raving the entire game.

Thanks but I'll just punch myself in the face half a dozen times. That will be less painful.

I think the one thing that saved Burmi was his defensive play. I'm not sure PoMo can afford to have him in the line-up anymore. I think Burmi sits until he's moved or forced into action through injury. Of course, I can never predict what the Jets are going to do.

Oh boy, this game could go south really quickly. Hope Myers is back for this one.

Yeah, not many people take time off before going to med school but ALL complete and undergrad before going to med school. She wouldn't be in med school out of high school.

He's been given a chance. I'm not sure why, a few games later, he deserves ANOTHER chance ahead of better players.

If he's better than Chiarot, he hasn't shown it this year.

Yeah, I'm not sure where the gf "excuse" came from. Seems convenient. But, we don't know. I'm not sure that having to live in Columbus is worth the premium that CBJ is paying Risto over Lindholm. Similar taxes, I think. But, for a lot of people, LA/Anaheim would be a better place to live.

Slow down... Med school is still 4 years and, depending on her area of practice, that's another 4++ years for residency. 9 years before this becomes an issue (assuming she starts med school next year). Though, just because Trouba makes $5+M per year, that does not mean she does. We don't know what she wants to do or where she can go to school.

Trouba does not want to play in Canada and certainly not in Edmonton.
