Making the playoffs once with another GM’s roster gets you a five-year extension but sure, the MLSE culture is rotten because of old photos.

So, how many years will Nonis have left on his contract when he gets fired?

We used to go here:
http://www.halfmoonrestaurant.com/
It's in Kennett Square, PA

Knocked out a bunch of stuff there including Yak, Oxen, Antelope (which I'd had as a kid) and alligator. I haven't tried the Wild Boar yet.

My whole family were hunters and poor so anything that walks, flies, swims or crawls in the greater NE I've eaten. Squab (it's Doves yo!), rabbit, raccoon, squirrel, opossum, groundhog, deer, bear, quail, pheasant, wild turkey, duck, goose, snapping turtle and every fish.

I'm big into Asian food so I've eaten all of that stuff including jellyfish which was odd to say the least. No blowfish yet. I've even had live fish once. I'll never do that again.

Squab is actually Pigeon.

Shhh...the cretins on the west wide of the Delaware aren't supposed to know we have that stuff down here. Just get on the turnpike and drive directly to "tha sha(r)." Don't stop on the way, do not collect any produce.

was looking through the Phantoms depth for next season... it isnt bad but i dont know if this is realy a playoff team or not. they are def improved from last season though.

Raffl-Flanagan-Akeson
McGinn-Newbury-Straka
Wellwood-Johnston-Noebels
Brown-Holmstrom-Mathers

Alt-Lauridsen
Manning-Konan
Lamarche-Hostetter

Danis
Heeter

Pretty much our top 3 lines could be 3rd liners in the NHL lol... nothing more i dont think

Also, i understand there's only 50 contracts allowed... just looking through our prospects but i'd like them to get Ghost signed sooner rather than later please lol... right now we're at 49 contracts, Stolarz be3ing 50 but he has that slide rule...

also on capgeek they have Cousins listed as a player in the AHL, and he doesnt have that slide rule any more... i thought he still had 1 year of junior left?

Cousins is 20, so he can/will play in the AHL.

I don't know if Ghost can be signed as a college player; I'm still fuzzy on that. If they can't sign him until he's ready to go pro, then they can't sign him this season (unless it's late in the season and he wants to forego his senior year).

Also, having a legitimate goalie in net all season will help the Phantoms. They'll be more competitive for sure.

No need to sign Ghost. They can wait until next season. He won't be playing NHL or AHL this season.

And lets not forget all the Round-Abouts.... God forbid people in Jersey learn how to make left hand turns.

And what's the deal with Gas stations? Are Jersey people so dumb they cant even pump thier own gas?

Lots of 20 year olds play junior... and he literally just turned 20... im almost 100% sure he can play 1 more year of junior...
i forget how many years we have to sign him... i think its until the start of 15/16 offseason... now 100% sure. think you have 3 years to sign him, and he was drafted in 2012.
Danis has been a top AHL goalie so thats good.

And you talking roundabouts or jug handles? Because they are 2 separate things.

As for roundabouts (circles), if you can think of a better way to bring 5+ roads together with a continuous flow of traffic, I'm all ears.

For gas stations, NJ law actually makes it illegal to pump your own gas. I don't know why.

Lastly, jug handles ensure that traffic in all lanes can, again, flow continuously instead of lanes backing up due to overcrowding of a left-hand lane.

Yes, Cousins CAN play junior one more year, but he's better suited to play in the AHL. Just like Laughton would be were he eligible.

Do we really have that many circles? I always though DC was the king of circles.

They're actually eliminating a lot of them (notably the 70/73 one and the 9th street one in Somer's Point). Traffic flow at 73/70 and at Somer's Point has been a catastrophe ever since.

I think its pretty set in stone that Cousins is coming to play in the AHL. He's accomplished everything he can as far as development in that league.

Staying in Juniors would only delay his development.

The round abouts would be fine if they were only used at 5 lanes, but they arent. They are all over the place... and Jug Handles... really. NJ is like the only state I have seen use these just about everywhere... And other states get by.

And the Gas. I know its Law... But its the stupidest law ever.
