Dude is freaking unbelievable... Watching Penguins vs. Sabres, he just scored his 35th goal of the year... This guy never ceases to amaze me... And the Penguins are wearing their throwback sweaters tonight, genius

I've never had much interest in the NHL but this kid has made me start paying a little more attention to the game. Very fun to watch.

I'm hoping to get down to a Blue Jackets game when and if the Pens come to town. I really want to see him play.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

His 37th goal of the year to put him tied at the top.

And this from yesterday:

I was watching that yesterday, that's just sick... What made it even better was that it was against the Wings... I'm hoping for a 4th tonight

Despite it not being a goal, how about the one-handed flip towards the net before getting planted into the net? Dude's a gamer.

I love me some Pen's hockey. I love getting to watch it as opposed to the Western Conference slag the Preds play; all grit and no skill.

The boy can play without a doubt, and one of the best on the ice today. He hasn't erased my fond memories of Super Mario, but he certainly is the spark plug for hockey that Eric Lindros couldn't provide.

Hoping he steps up big for Team Canada at the Olympics. My son, who is 8, loves him, like most other 8 year old boys in Canada, so I took him to the Penguins-Canucks game on January 16th. Crosby didn't have a great game, but it was good to see him live and we got a bunch of good pictures in warm up.

That's awesome! Great memories for you and your son... Really, really cool... I think Crosby will be in top form at the Olympics... Can't wait for the tournament!

Crosby is the best player in the NHL. He scores goals, makes tons of assists, kills penalties, and actually backchecks. You don't see many "superstars" like Ovechkin doing anything other the scoring goals. Crosby also knows when to shoot it and when to pass it. Some players shoot it every time they get it (that twerp in Washington) and that is why they have 60 goals a season.

Eh, credit where it's due - Great Ape has plenty of assists this year too, but still ranks incredibly low in shooting percentage and incredibly high in shots on goal. And the last time he backchecked was after he got his tramp stamp and he wanted to look at it in a mirror.

I'd take Sid (and Evgeni) over Ovechkin every day and twice apiece in the playoffs. Beyond that, eh. Whatever. You like who you like.

Crosby has matured into the best 2 way player in the NHL. He has 41 goals already this year, the Pens' power play has been terrible and he doesn't have the same caliber of surrounding talent on his line as does Ovechkin. Ovechkin is the best offensive player in the league, however. His propensity to run players from behind and to regularly commit charging penalties that the officials ignore doesn't endear him to anyone outside of D.C. Crosby has class and by all accounts is really a good guy. We have been extremely fortunate here in Pittsburgh to have seen some of the best players in the world on a regular basis for decades.

Sometimes I get frustrated when Bing passes instead shooting when it appears he has a wide open shot. But....the kid is a brilliant all around player. He's un to watch and makes things happen.

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
