Barry Melrose vs. Barry Melrose? Fun fact - I just dug out my old autographs and found my signed Barry Melrose picture. He came to speak at our hockey banquet in 1981. He had a broken jaw (I think?).

Yes Nashville Ducks would suck a lot of energy out of Nashville.

if that had been Buff getting hit everyone would have been blown out of their seats.

I watched that Benn/Trouba hit and I don't think Trouba hit his head. It looked more like he just got smashed in the body. Not sure how that can be a concussion.

Tanev is going to be important in the playoffs. My question is whether the Jets can handle the attrition of the playoffs. Everytime we get into one of these slug-fests with playoff-like intensity we seem to lose a D man or a forward. By game 12 will there be anyone left or will they be playing all Moose players? Jan Kostalek quarterbacking the power-play by round 3?

I'd like to get through more than one game without losing someone. Is that too much to ask?

Andrew Scheer is pretty funny - here's his speech last year at the press gallery dinner. This is the same dinner who a few years ago Elizabeth May was escorted out of for being visibly intoxicated.

I always liked this classic - where Homer decides to stop going to church....

That goal Roslo scored last game was a beauty. That was just pure talent. I don't know who sits but Roslo should be playing.

its a cycle. Just like in the US. Dem Pres = Repub congress. And vice versa. Lib PM = Cons provincially. Overall, people just seem to like change. And that's not a bad thing, usually.

how is Vesalainen doing?

Speedflex has some experience with Simonise. Apparently not the greatest attitude. Maybe he has fixed that now.

You don't see many shots like the one on the Little goal go in anymore. That was pretty bad. You could see the whole Blackhawk team deflate after that one.

I think he was referencing Bambi.

Iheart will have to report the death of Iheart in the death thread.

Not quite seeing the relevance....

There is - and a serial killer named after it, currently serving time in Walla Walla state pen, if memory serves.

I need Scheif back for my pool.

It's fine, he's totally cool...

or that they had a lead on a replacement for him named Archimedes Bachman.

ok - now it makes more sense.

that's damning with faint praise! I like Helle, he's a more talented Al Montoya.

Hope we get Scheif and Troubs back for this game....
