    Angel Hernandez was at it again last night 3 consecutive pitches out of the strike zone all called strikes, he should of been fired years ago but after last night apparently being incompetent is part of the job.

    Whoa.  I'm pretty sure he was an ump back when the Jays won those 2 championships

    No. First tiebreaker is purely regulation wins, Jets have more than any team in the NHL there with 43 (tied with Carolina). Next adds in OT wins as well, but not shootout wins. The Jets’ total of 49 is second best (tied with the Canes, only one behind the Rangers’ league leading total of 50). Third tiebreaker is total wins (this includes shootout wins as well). Only the Jets, Canucks, Flames, and Devils have yet to win a shootout contest this year. 

    Thanks. I was scratching my head as to why the total wins and regulation / overtime wins were not the same thing

    I'm a pretty casual NHL follower - don't pay that much attention.

    Burden on proof in a civil case is much lower than a criminal case though and some of the incidents happened in front of other people so, theoretically, there would be witnesses to corroborate her side of things.  Whether or not those people would be willing to attest to what they saw is a different matter though. 

    Burden of proof is lower - but in most cases - so is the satisfaction with the final outcome.

    1k yards in 2 seasons is not a success indicator. That’s pretty much replacement level 6th wr stuff. Spending a first on that isn’t great value. Both have upside still but if it doesn’t happen in year 3 it isn’t likely to happen. 
     
    If that’s the high water mark of success, then you might be better off drafting a fb rather than a wr where you have a 1/5 chance over 10 years of getting the last wr on the roster. 

    I mean yeah - a Demski doesn't come along very often - so may as well draft a full back.

    My nephew claims credit for alerting Taman to a player in 2005 or 2006. He submitted a question to a weekly column in either The Sun or Free Press, where Taman answered reader inquiries during the offseason or something like that. He asked if Taman was considering signing a recently suspended NFL running back (I think Ontario Smith based on some googling), to which Taman replied in the negative, not in the plans.

    However, a few weeks later, the team signed the running back! Taman never acknowledged or thanked him for the scouting tip! LOL! Sorry if he's told this story in this forum before, I know he still lurks.

    Onterrio*

    And dare say, there wasn't a whole lot of gratitude to be extended.

    Sure is, wild animals grow to the size their environment supports, on many small islands off the BC coast the deer population stands under 4 feet in height.  Interfering with the size of a species can throw the ecological balance off kilter almost as much as introducing an invasive species.

    Captive hunting operations create interestingly blurred lines.
