I'm onboard at 48. I hurt myself every night sleeping.

I hurt my elbow on Thursday night and Sunday morning my hip hurt like a tooth ache.

You're right: Work, F'off on a thread or shot out back.

Wikipedia is not fact based, it's the cumulative alleged information provided by the common man who's prone to error. How do you actually know he didn't become active until 1964? Do you know for sure that he wasn't writing before his first paying gig as a song writer? Where's your proof?

You haven't brought facts, you've brought information from a flawed source and that is not facts. "50 some odd yrs" is fact. you can argue with your flawed statements but they are flawed without true facts to base it on hence they are flawed. That makes your premise flawed and if your fact are drawn from a flawed premise that your facts are flawed.

Get back to me with some facts... bro.

You can easily check the provided sources on the better articles. There's something powerful about continuous peer review. It just doesn't work on anything politically sensitive or on the topics that are the favorite hobby horses of the tinfoil hat crowd.

Frank came back with:

His actual salary is $5.5 million this season, yes. Which is why I made it clear with the use of the word "salary." The information is not wrong. I wrote extensively in the first story, linked in the blog, to clarify.


Sorry bud but the way you wrote it said salary CAP hit

- nastyflyergirl

And the copy editors there don't have any confidence in their own sports knowledge, so they didn't change it.

He's such an arogant wiener. Sam wrote back and thanked me for pointing it out and fixed it. Super nice guy. Frank comes back at me like a jerkoff
- nastyflyergirl

Frank was promoted way above his experience when he was made an NHL beat at what, 23? He is the classic guy who thinks he proved his worth by getting there early and therefore will never really learn his craft.

I can be hard on Carchidi, but I do feel bad for a guy who really hasn't got the background but is too old to go elsewhere and find a gig that's suited to his talents/interests.

yet, back in the 11/12 playoffs, everyone was raving about him.
- jmatchett383

But I wonder if he'll ever reach his full potential. You can tell me he's close all you like. But until he's scoring I don't believe he can. I'm a sadly Doubting Thomas, I guess.

@HockeyScanner Erik Karlsson says it's hard to live up to media expectations. "You guys have talked about me like I'm some (effing) god or something."

Is that part of the joke that I missed, or is Carchidi just a dolt?

Yes, he was lauding Zherdev's shootout ability as a needed skill in the playoffs.
