Let's see if we can provoke Iran into restarting it's nuclear weapons program shall we? That's what's needed for peace in the middle east. Nuclear armed Iran. Maybe we can even start another war. Cause there hasn't been enough misery yet in the middle east.

Round 2 - Game 5: Jets @ Predators
PoAsted in wrong thread a minute ago. My sense is that this will be a Jets win. Someone will rally the team, might be laine, or Connor, or Stastny, or Ehlers. Too much firepower.

Round 2 - Game 4: Predators @ Jets
Jets will rally for a win tonight. Hellebucyk plays his best game yet.

Round 2 - Game 4: Predators @ Jets
From what I've seen, the jets have been a little off, for a few games. Off as in a bit tired. No longer first to the puck in the other end or their own end. Also, not winning fights for the puck as often. Maybe the whole team is a little low on gas, cause the effort to play that way is very high.

I wish someone would ask him how to pronounce his name. Looks like "See-mo- niece" to me. not like "Simoniz USA, Inc. is an American manufacturer of automobile and janitorial cleaning products." or something.

"As of 2017, adultery remains a criminal offense in 21 states. Massachusetts, Idaho, Oklahoma, Michigan, and Wisconsin consider adultery a felony" checked the bible, punishment for adultery in old testament, is death. " thou shalt not commit adultery."

2018 CFL Draft
Why did they not use the guy they already had in that role? (tight end) He showed he could catch when it was thrown to him. Normand. Toronto used a big Canadian as a tight end last season, worked really well.

Seems you might be right. Here's something from his wikipedia. lot of info about him, father was a surgeon, holocaust survivor. Bought for 11 million sold for 32 million. cash. Nice work if you can get it. Wonder if El Trumpo was in on that one. Could be another "flip" of a different kind coming up.

I don't think players (other than a few here and there giving each other the gears), are generally known to discuss other players publicly. What's the upside for a person doing that? Might be teammates somewhere down the line. Same as coaches, and managers.

Round 2 - Game 3: Predators @ Jets
There's a good video of a Predator forward turtling when Buff is about to arrive at the same spot. Not sure, maybe Arvidson. He's carrying the puck, looks over sees Buff coming, then the Predator player dumps the puck, and just drops to the ice leaning wayyyyyy back . Very inspiring I'm sure for the teammates. Hope to see Buff hand out one of those bodychecks to number 76 Nashville. This is hilarious if you haven't seen it, Subban drama at 120 or so.

Ford today announced it will phase out most cars it sells in North America. According to its latest financial release, the auto giant “will transition to two vehicles” — the Mustang and an unannounced vehicle, the Focus Active, being the only traditional cars it sells in the region. Ford sees 90 percent of its North America portfolio in trucks, utilities and commercial vehicles. Citing a reduction in consumer demand and product profitability, Ford is in turn not investing in the next generation of sedans. The Taurus is no more. https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/25/ford-to-stop-selling-every-car-in-north-america-but-the-mustang-and-focus-active/

Round 2 - Game 1: Jets @ Predators
Stastny makes PK Subban looks useless on Stastny's goal. Stastny beats him twice for the puck, and scores.

Round 2 - Game 1: Jets @ Predators
I think that up to this point, puck is bouncing the Jet's way. Couldn't tell you one specific play, but the Wild, and Nashville, had some pretty good chances, that didn't quite make it into the goal. This makes up for some poor puck luck in prior seasons. Don't get some of the criticism I read in other forums of some of the players, specially Wheeler. Ask Scheifele how Wheeler is doing. Also, I don't get the Hellebuck (sp) stole the game. The Jets scored four goals. On the supposed best defence in the league.

Gadhafi (?) had a nuclear weapons program. He made a deal with US to give it up. Remember he was a "good guy" for about a week? photo ops with Tony Blair, Condoleeza Rice? Pretty sure Kim knows about that case, and saw pictures ofGadhafi being executed on the street by a mob. and Hillary boasting "we came, we saw, he died" He'd have to be as stupid as Trump to give up nuclear weapons. I know, I'm Debbie Downer.

N Korea won't dismantle their nuclear weapons. so says he writes: Even though he knows nothing about the matter, Trump thinks he knows better. No need for any advice from anyone. And..... America can't be trusted not to break treaties. Iran. Libya. Paris accord. Nafta. Pacific trade agreement. Why would anyone trust them? Their signature means nothing.

Round 1: Game 5 vs. Wild
There's another video on youtube of subban elbowing a Boston player in the head... .... a second Boston player goes for Subban.... Subban hits the dirt and lays there till the smoke clears. I don't enjoy watching him play, at all.
