I’m good, thanks.  I see the Habs took a chance on Hemsky.  I can remember when he was hands down Edmonton’s most exciting player.  

Yeah. I remember that to. ... Time does us all in sooner or later.

 

On another front, a buddy of mine just got the Center Ice package. He's, of all things, a re-invigorated Leaf fan. Yuck.

During my bachelor years I had Center Ice. The rare Saturday’s I had off were quite awesome.  Hockey would start at about 11 in the morning and run for a good twelve hours, even later if the Sharks or Kings were playing at home.  

 

Edit: I ate a lot of nachos

Sure with you way out west, there's a lot to watch. Your west-coast lot are on past my bed time. 

I had Center Ice for a few years before 1) I started trying to play golf and 2) before my cable bill became stupidly huge. Hard to justify the additional bill. Now I see a whole lot of CBJ and a lot less of the Canadiens. Maybe just as well this year.

I can remember the payments for Center Ice were four shots of 50 bucks each.  Compared to going to see a live game NHL that's a hell of a deal.

I'm just happy the OIlers are five minutes into their game with Chicago and havent been scored on yet.

Ugh.  I don’t know if the Oilers are guilty of reading too much of the press hype over the summer, but they’ve looked nothing like the team from last season.  

Our special teams suck monkey nuts.

Devils weak defense is getting exposed. Everyone knew coming into the season it was going to be terrible, but the hot start from the forwards made up for it for a while. Schneider stole a game earlier in the week in Vancouver but couldn't repeat last night in Edmonton.

Wonder if the offense can keep the boat afloat all season long.

5-8-1 now with Chicago today after an OT win at Winnipeg. Tough game to have to come back on.

Now if only Cary Price can recover from that hernia he sustained lugging his wallet around.

You know his extension doesn't kick in until next year, right? He still has a $6.5 mil cap hit this year, but it's going to get worse.

I feel your pain. We have Lundqvist eating up the cap for a few more years yet. It's no longer a goalie league, gotta stop overpaying these guys to stay.

Taylor Hall will put up points with a garbage can on the wing and a soda machine playing center.  

The Devils will be fine up front if they can get their players off the IR

Yeah it is. The single most important position in the sport, and arguably, any of the major sports.

I have no pain (in goal). Cory Schneider's cap hit is pretty reasonable at $6 mil.

No kidding. He's a huge driver of play going forward.

They're arguably fine up front now since a lot of guys picked up the slack, but yea they're missing 3 top-6 forwards.

The D though...

A dynamic number one center is way more important in team building, imo. As for overall, it's a QB.

Agreed. Maybe it's easy for @iacas to forget that since his team has two of them :-P

"Game manager" QBs have won Super Bowls.

And a number one center only plays 1/3 of the game.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
