As soon as someone uses the phrase "common sense" I put them on ignore

Sorry but I feel like this belongs in the thread for dead celebrities who don't merit a thread of their own

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

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

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

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

Let It Go

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

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

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

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

I don't know how you can blame Fowler when they keep trying to make him Victor Hedman with no help

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

Gerrymandering. When the most extreme is the one who wins the primary you get what you ask for

If they're not going to play like this then what's the point?

The library will be built but the contractors will never be paid

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?

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

What Boras does is not a secret. They wouldn't hire him if they didn't want this

I bet the almond growers have rain collectors

I think it just reflects how all sports leagues went from basing their revenue off of ticket sales and game attendance before the existence of cable TV to realizing the benefits of local TV deals as they have been for the last 30ish years. Even the NFL had the Rozelle Rule which barred games from the home TV market if they weren't sold to close to capacity. Today only the NHL is really focused on attendance as the cash cow. It's why hockey teams will forego rebuild when they have any chance of those 2 extra home playoff paydays (in which the players aren't even getting paid) even when they know they have no chance of winning it all

Or maybe they could just teach him how to run out a grounder without crippling himself
