  1. That was the Bahrain Grand Prix. A little something they cooked up to screw up our traffic and overrun us with Eurotrash for a few days every year in the late winter when weather is too bad to race anywhere else. I can't get into it at all. The cars all look alike. There's never any lead passing or lead changes and they don't even look like cars
  2. Even if it's a little pricier I'd much rather have them for a year or 2 then let them opt out. You keep them in contract year production mode then dump them before they age out
  3. He's been a left winger exclusively for 2 years now. He can play D but he's a liability
  4. Avs traded MacDermid to New Jersey for a KHL 4th line center and a 7th rounder.. Avs needed cap space for other moves and I guess the Devils wanted someone to be Hughes' version of Marty McSorley
  5. Six years ago you could do the same with Rantanen but he's become a pretty good skater now although not terribly fast
  6. As soon as someone uses the phrase "common sense" I put them on ignore
  7. Sorry but I feel like this belongs in the thread for dead celebrities who don't merit a thread of their own
  8. Lehkonen missed almost 40 games with a neck injury. Nichushkin is in player assistance. Tatar sucked. Miles wood missed 5 games with flu. Bednar loves Cogs and will give him those minutes when he's short handed. But now with Nichushkin coming back and Kovalenko coming when his KHL season finishes it's possible Cogs get some healthy scratches
  9. He's an upgrade on Hakanpaa but probably doesn't have the puck skills to be a huge difference maker. The Stars will get to keep that conditional 3rd rounder
  10. Routine is huge. Get up, eat, exercise at pretty close to the same time every day. Put on the blue light blockers in the evening. get some sunlight in your face in the morning so your body has a clue what time it is
  11. Both my parents normally called me by my first name. I have nicknames for my 3 girls and they don't mind me calling them that way but they don't like to let anyone else use them
  12. As long as Cogs stays in his 10 minute 4th line LW role he's great. High energy, great forechecking, solid PK. But when they try to push him up to even 12 or 13 minutes he loses effectiveness
  13. I was just pointing out that they're playing him above his head because he's as close as they can come to a #1 D
  14. On a related note, I haven't taken a flu shot in 30 years and only took them then because the Air Force required it
  15. I'm pretty sure I'm recovering from a bout with the latest strain. A couple days of chills and fever and some runny nose. If this is what it's turned into I'm not getting another shot
  16. I don't know how you can blame Fowler when they keep trying to make him Victor Hedman with no help
  17. Vegas has to clear about 2.5 in cap space to bring Eichel back. They can do it by putting Stone on LTIR or both of Howden and Carrier. They may choose to stash Stone for the rest of the regular season and use his cap money to bring back Smith or go after Rico or even Guentzel but any of that means he's definitely done til the playoffs
  18. Gerrymandering. When the most extreme is the one who wins the primary you get what you ask for
  19. The library will be built but the contractors will never be paid
  20. I know you don't love Gibson but this is what the world looks like with truly bad goaltending. How frustrating is it to hold a team to 15 shots and still lose?
  21. I’m actually a Westminster High (CO) grad and follow the same teams as you but I can no longer sit through a football game so I’m quite grateful for the Avs
  22. What Boras does is not a secret. They wouldn't hire him if they didn't want this
