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.

The Red Wings got a new arena...

Dubinsky will have 6-8 weeks to ponder that thought.  Kassian broke his orbital bone during that fight.   Ouch.

Burrows is suspended for 10 games. Usually when the league wants to meet in person, it's serious. In other news, Marchand is back, and didn't even miss the All Star Game. Johansson still out

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.

Another slow start for the Carolina Hurricanes. Missed playoffs since 09, so their golf game should be good.

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.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
