sweep the leg

Interesting timing for this argument. I just read the counter argument to it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/energy-environment/wp/2015/05/27/climate-skeptics-think-you-shouldnt-worry-about-melting-polar-ice-heres-why-theyre-wrong/ "However, much of the concern with the melting of Antarctica, Greenland and glaciers around the world has nothing to do with sea ice — rather, it involves huge masses of ice sitting atop landmasses in polar regions. Melting of these ice sheets, glaciers and ice caps can contribute substantially to sea level rise —whereas sea ice melting cannot. So already, Taylor’s argument about “polar ice” seems much broader than it actually is."

Bingo. The discussion would go better if everybody fully understood the difference between consensus and unanimity.

Kopitar is a bigger version of Toews. Very good player. The question is can any team win a Cup with these crazy contracts on their team? I think the 2009 Pens are the only team to win with somebody having a cap hit of $8M or more on the roster.

LOL - every forum I posted this article on, there was always a guy that played this card, and always a leftist AGW fraud proponent. What is it with you guys? You can't handle what he is saying, so you just attack the guy instead? Shame. So is that a yes?

Ladd's a penalty killer and Scheifele isn't. Also, unless you want to put Sheifele on the wing, he's not going to get 1st line minutes. It doesn't make a lot of sense to compare the TOI of guys who play different positions.

He looks like he's fitting in nicely, tuning in his D game and you think he's a bum? Pretty sick deke move last game, its obvious he has elite skill plus he's only what, 23? Smh He's got great individual skills but doesn't seem to be able to apply them very well in a game. A guy with hands like that should be able to put up better numbers than he has. He didn't exactly light up the KHL either. His line was brutal against the Blues. They were paired up with Stuart & Chiarot most of the game and it was hard to watch. They were stuck in their own end most shifts.

and they eat salary... just bizarre pens fired the wrong guy Daley is younger, faster, and a much better puck mover. He didn't fit in with the Hawks, but he was a decent player for the Stars. Hawks get a penalty killer and some cap help.

Buff's ask is the most reasonable. I would never give Ladd $7M per.

Thats very true. But they will likely sign another high priced free agent forward! Actually Ladd would be a good signing for them Ladd & Buff would both be great fits for the Pens. Buff fills a lot of needs for them.

Pens will find some cap space soon. Perron is pending UFA and will either move on or re-sign for less. Scuderi has to be a buyout candidate. Kunitz too if they can't trade him. Dupuis is retired. That's a lot of cap space in those four guys.

That's a pretty bold move for a team that's got two high profile RFAs of their own to deal with.

Nice signing. He was pretty good when healthy. I bet our starting OL is already set: Bryant, Neufeld, Goossen, Chungh, & Daniels. Like it or not, or GM and coach seem to really like Neufeld.

Too bad he not say same about someone who went to Calgary. They kept him, he played well, and we made the playoffs. I can accept that one. It's only an absolute failure if you don't move somebody and miss the playoffs.

Stamkos & Kopitar are both in the same situation.

I apologize to Oilers fans. I picked up Nilsson in my fantasy league, which almost certainly means his good run will end.

They profile too similarly for my liking ... not enough snaps for those two to go around. I'd like having two big guys in the middle. BC did it pretty successfully with Mitchell & Taylor a few years ago.

I don't understand what's happening in this thread.

This conversation got a lot more interesting once the scientists chimed in.

I thought he was fighting the puck in the first period, but settled down as the game went on. None of the goals were bad imo. He's doesn't always have great rebound control and can't handle the puck to save his life, but he's stopping the puck and winning games so I'll take it.

Pretty much exactly my take on the issue.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but some Republicans are trying to change the law so people on the no-fly list can still purchase guns. They feel a person with a suspected link to terrorism should still be able to buy a gun. Let that soak in for a moment...

I'm with you on this post until the last paragraph. I don't think the President can act unilaterally to change the Constitution. The cowardice of moderate Republicans and the ignorance of the hardliners is what kills any gun control debate.

They've been better lately, but we should still win. McElhinney isn't very good, but he shut us out last time so I guess we shouldn't count our two points yet.

Pens don't have a #1 pick this year. Went to TO for Kessel. They're pretty much out of prospects and picks to trade. Sprong, Pouliot, & Murray are their last three (imo) top notch prospects. They'd be crazy to deal any of them for another rental. Buff would be a perfect fit for the Pens, but what would it take to make that trade? Kunitz is finished as a top end player. Perron is meh and taking Scuderi would be doing a favour for the Pens. Hornqvist is a good player having a down year.

I don’t think it’s that obvious Noeller. 1. This kind of thing should never ever happen. Ever. 2. The Bombers have been part of a 50/50 scandal in the past. I think someone went to jail for it. 3. Earlier this year there was another 50/50 draw that was not claimed. The winnings went to the next games 50/50 and because of the pot being so much bigger, 50/50 sales were way up. In light of recent events, that 50/50 draw has to be in question now too. 4. After Mr.Ritchot checks the web site and phones in to verify and is told his is not the correct number, the Bombers realize their mistake and change it on the web site, but they fail to inform anyone of their mistake. They knew someone phoned in with the correct numbers and still failed to inform anyone when they realized their mistake? Making the mistake in the first place is incompetent, but not informing anyone that a mistake was made is corrupt. 5. The Bombers front office has a well earned image problem. This kind thing exacerbates that negative image. In my opinion this is a very serious incident and it needs to be dealt with in a serious manner. The Bombers have been so bad for so long when it comes to their front office that I can no longer make excuses for them or give them the benefit of the doubt. I think the Bombers have denied this happened. If true, it's really bad. I just wish the franchise would stop embarrassing itself. I'm really tired of it. My first reaction to this story was, "that sounds about right".
