Hell I wish.. I love when im asked for ID to see a rated R movie.. or when they ask me if im watching the movie with my daughter (wife) or dropping off..

I hate employees at the movies

Last year I went to see a movie with friends and I had left my license at home. I was 20 and all my friends were at least 21 except maybe one and they would not let me in. Eventually I was about to leave but the lady said I could go in. I don't look like I'm under 17 either.

It's not a bad thought. Aren't the Flyers at 50 contracts, though, with Knuble signed?

They have 1 free spot Flyskip
I believe Baicker said they have a free spot

I think they're at 49 with Laughton being sent back to Juniors. Hovinen was the contract they dumped for Knuble I believe.

On the cusp of turning 40, I was carded at a microbrewery back in late June for ordering a beer. I hugged the waitress.

@AnthonyMingioni: At 49 contracts & waiver priority-4th. Comes down to if they think Boychuk’s worth it. RT @meckelangelo: @AnthonyMingioni Flyers claim him?

Ryan isn't really playing behind anyone on Anaheim. He's either on a line with Perry and Getzlaf or Koivu and Selanne. Not exactly low-skill players. He averages just under 18 minutes a game for his career.

I think most of our fear on D comes from the offseason in which a lot of us thought the blueline would feature one of Shea Weber and Ryan Suter, not to mention Matt Carle still being around. I've said this before, but too many fans compare our blueline to what could have been and not the league average. I still think we need to add a puck mover though but overall I think this D corp has actually benefited Bryz.

Alright, what power play unit is Ryan on? From what I can see he is always on the second. That to me is playing second fiddle to someone else. Wayne Simmonds wasn't a fit in LA anymore when he was traded here. Simmonds wasn't getting power play time at all to getting first unit time here. Bobby Ryan could get something here that he isn't getting with the Ducks. He was drafted one behind Crosby. Ryan needs room to be the player he is suppose to be.

My dad was carded a few years back at a TGI Fridays. He was at least 50 and what's left of his hair is/was gray plus he had/has a beer belly. Not to mention a woman of around the same age (although my mom is 55, she looks about 10 years younger) and two kids were with him. I must have been about 15 and my brother 11.

So, there is a sight issue with a number of waitresses. That could explain why so many orders get fussed up.

Patrik Stefan was drafted one AHEAD of the Sedin brothers.

I see what you're saying though and I have no doubt Ryan would be able to score at least 35 goals with Giroux consistently, I am just against trading young assets for him. He'll be a free agent in a couple of years. Go after him then.

Actually, 29 sucked more. Got an ulcer.

A week before my 30th birthday, my son was born. No time to worry about turning 30 when you're not sleeping!

As she was sitting across the table when it happened, yes. She laughed.

If I didn't dislike the shootout already, this would seal it for me.

Ironic.. I had an ulcer a week before my son was born, a month after I turned 29.

Well, they could use him on the 3rd/4th line and move Rusty to the wing. He was highly toted (14th overall pick in 2008) and that's what really entices me. Maybe he'll be a late bloomer?

How is he in the faceoff circle???
