  1. Greg Mackling @GMackWPG Coach Maurice says Mathieu Perrault is still 'game time' decision for @NHLJets @CJOBSports
  2. Shawn Churchill @ShawnChurchill Ladd is purely maintenance.
  3. Well honestly If Im the Sens I subscribe to the idea that the best revenge is beating them. But if they are down big in a game or down big in the series, why wouldnt they give a little parting gift? Worse case scenario some bit players gets suspended for a few meaningless games in October.
  4. As much as I was UNDERwhelmed by the initial teaser, this one is INCREDIBLE. A PERFECT trailer.
  5. I do think injury factors in. Although I agree that some guys are victims of dirty plays and they aren't injured. But in "real life" if you assault someone, the severity of the injury can be a factor at sentencing. I think it's reasonable. Listening to the radio analyze this, it appears Subban switched hand position for extra leverage and snapped the stick with more ferocity near the point of contact. Clearly intentional. Subban admitted as much when he said today that he didnt know where he would strike when he chose to slash. The fact he admitted it should be the end of discussion as far as debating it. It was WAY away from the place. If there is any evidence that he did threaten Stone prior, then they should throw the book at him. As it is, no action means the Sens will have to take their own action. Officials will be calling everything next game. So what, get your lowest minute player to two-hand Price across some very sensitive area. Not that Im condoning that, but when the league turns a blind eye, thats what potentially happens.
  6. The new trailer is here and its magnificent http://www.cineplex.com/News/The-Force-Awakens-trailer-and-poster-debut-at-Star-Wars-Celebration?cmpid=twitter
  7. Murray says Subban threatened Stone before he did it. If true, that should be at least the series if not longer of a suspension.
  8. ^^^^^ thats me at work waiting for the Star Wars trailer to come out this afternoon. That will tide me over until game time.
  9. I never read the books so I dig the TV show (same with the Walking Dead though I understand they use elements from the books and do it well). First episode was good. I think this season will continue to be good.
  10. I only watched the clip once but I thought it was a fairly light tap and a heck of a performance by the Sens player. . P Micro fracture in his wrist. Possibly out for the rest of the series Really??? Hmmm, well that does change things. Injury on the play should always factor into discipline in my opinion. This injury was a direct result of an illegal play on the part of Subban. Therefore he should be suspended. See, new facts changed my mind! And people say I never do that. :-)
  11. Im pretty even keel but what a crock of a post. And cowardly to boot. Flame away but I enjoy debate. I've had my mind changed to a degree by the information coming out. I easily admit when Im wrong or if someone makes a great point. This isnt arguing, it's discussing and its enjoyable to me. I certainly enjoy the points Earth has made. But you come in with the intent of jab and move. Great, your contribution means nothing then. See ya
  12. I only watched the clip once but I thought it was a fairly light tap and a heck of a performance by the Sens player. If a Jets player did it, sure he's probably gone for two games but they arent going to suspend Subban and I really dont think he deserves a suspension as much as I dislike him.
  13. People that know more then you and i have charged him with murder. Held without bond yet. I havent watched not one cop or anyone for that matter say that. Maybe a jury will say its not murder ,,, but the fact is hes been charged with it and not only that but held with no bond. Police often over-charge. It's a technique. That's why you will read about people being charged with multiple counts relating to the same offense and then end up pleading to one of them or only one or two actually remaining when it goes to trial. Keep in mind as well that this was an extremely fast arrest. Video surfaced and he was immediately charged. Murder would be the reflex charge. manslaughter would be a charge you'd consider after investigating. Again, as I wrote earlier, CNN reported that "Murder" in that location requires pre-meditation (or, if I recall, some other factor which I think they thought of as a race-based killing in this case). No one is arguing the cop planned it and the longer this goes the more it seems it was not racially motivated. I dont believe the officer has had a court date yet. We'll see if the charge sticks. If it does, you watch, the DA will ask the judge to let the jury consider manslaughter as well. But we're talking opinion. We dont have all the facts, only what has been released. Was that murder? No. Was it murder when the 73 year old volunteer accidently shot a suspect? No and no one is suggesting it was.
  14. I was pretty excited when I saw 3-0 Nashville. Then they go and lose 4-3 in 2OT. Yikes. I wonder what that does to their pysche. I wrote on here a few weeks ago that the Preds would win the cup because of Rinne. Hope he bounces back.
  15. So everytime the police attempt to make an arrest, a person should fight and run. Every single time. Because the police cant do anything about it. Dont fight a cop, dont get shot. That's the simplicity of it. It's tragic, moreso because the victim was the architect of his own demise. The cop didnt murder anyone. Whether he acted in accordance with his training and proper procedure is yet to be determined.
  16. I've seen nothing to substantiate this opinion. Lost a tussle so he shot him? Does the suspect bear any responsibility for running, fighting, assaulting and running again? Of course he does.... But with his life? So your opinion is everyone that does this should just be shot? Look at the case with the 73 year old pretend cop. That dude just sold a cop a gun and ran away. They didnt open fire and shoot him. The 73 year old shooting was an accident and possibly a case of an under-trained volunteer. It wasn't a choice by the officer to engage in activity he believes was lawful. As for your first question, everyone does what? Run from a lawful police stop? Resist arrest? Assault an officer? Attempt to wrest control of a potentially lethal weapon? If someone attacks a cop with his fists, should the cop remove his utility belt and square off? After all that would be equal force. If someone attacks the cop with a knife, should the cop produce his own and engage in a knife fight? If someone pointed a gun at you and ordered you to stop, would you attack that person or would you think "gee he has a gun, I should immediately comply with his directives" I've repeatedly stated that the loss of life in this instance was tragic and preventable. But from initial reports of racist white cop guns down poor innocent black man for no reason, we've come to a far different conclusion. The ultimate conclusion is yet to be written. From everything I am seeing, the officer felt his actions were lawful.
  17. I don't think the coach wants to break up that line of him and Scheif and Wheeler. Maybe but then who is 1RW? Because if they pencil Frolik in there permanently, then Frolik is right to ask for more money. I doubt Ehlers plays here next season as a 4LW. If he can play either side that would help. The X factor might be Burmi. If Frolik demands big dollars, Burmi could be an option at 3RW a lot cheaper than Frolik,.
  18. And I totally agree with not screwing junior teams. But there are, from time to time, exceptional players that get no better from Junior play but need time playing against full grown professional men to improve. There should be some sort of compensation given to allow a team to end a player's junior eligibility early.
  19. Im cheering Wild now. Absolutely. Would love a Jets/Wild conference final.
  20. Yes that is very true. I was having a discussion on another forum about something completely different (it was a movie forum) and in fact engaged in discussion with the writer of a few major films and how his belief in the Truther perspective clouded his work on one film. Anyway, I obviously love a good debate and I told the story of how I first got into debating when I was a child. My teacher insisted we debate the opposing view that we held and I was very reluctant to do that saying why on earth would I argue against what I believe. But she was correct. It teaches you to be more open minded, see all sides and come to your conclusion more logically (as well as anticipating the other side's arguments).
  21. I had a terrible pool. Generally the same group of us have been doing this for over ten years, give or take a few guys. So we had ten of us. Draw for first round order and then snake. So i got the 5th pick out of 10. Worst possible pick. Got totally off my game. I wanted Jets, I wanted Blues. I was not committed to anyone from the east but thought I'd maybe snag some Pens and hope for a crazy upset. So before we all get in the room, we joke that the guy who won the regular season, we should block him. So whatever team he takes with his first pick, we should all grab the next guys on the team and screw him. So he picks right before me and grabs Tarasenko (who would have been my first pick). Im next and I still want blues and I want to dissuade him so I take Schwartz. Everyone groans. Down the line, a guy grabs Wheeler and I realise if I want Jets, I have competition. So it comes back to me and instead of taking Steen which I want because I still went into the pool thinking the Blues were going to win the cup, I panic and I take Buff! Everyone groans. Since it's snake, the guy who took Tarasenko is after me and grabs Steen. Coming back down, he grabs another Blues and I realise Im hornswoggled. I take Ladd. It was all downhill from there. I ended up taking Jets, Preds and wings. So I need some upsets. Oh and ONE Blues. So much for strategy. And the plan to the block the guy from taking all one team? Well, he took 99% Blues players.
  22. I took him in my pool so I hope he's ready for game one!
