Yeah they are going cheap now. I am in the telecom business , we got wind of it about a week ago. They said the next generation tv's are going to blow the mind

The size of the media required to run the video is going to be large... they will have to sell the movies on Flash media or download them directly to your TV... which I believe comes with a built in quad core that is required just to run the video

Two words Carol: Tubetopped Cheerleaders (can I say ice-bunnies instead? or does that make it all that more egregious?)

*insert sexist icon here, I know I know

P.S. that was also a shout out to Marwood (and Nucker if the cheerleaders are men)

Kane 6'2" 195

Kesler 6'2" 202

Kesler's not worried….yet

On a serious note, I gotta question those official weights, both look bigger than that, Kane especially has to be 200+.

4K or Ultra HD is insane... a friend of mine has a non released Google Laptop as he works for them... it was 4k and it is crazy... the sun actually almost hurts your eyes... it is like being there.

Heard of Ultra HD, but not 4k.

The wife and I are still paying off our crippling student loans, and were planning to move into a bigger place at the time, so we were on a serious budget.

Took me a while to convince her that a bigger TV was a better investment than new glasses/contacts, so I struck while I had the chance...

I still think it's going be a few years before the content will be available to fully utilize that technology. Blu Ray is already pretty good for movies and TV isn't even broadcasting in 1080 yet.

My wife flipped when I spent $2000 on a 55" Samsung LED, it's gonna take a few years for me to convince her to let me spend more on a 4K TV.

Happy wife, happy life. I just keep telling myself that...

Yup. Same boat. But my budget was even lower.

Happy with what I got, though.

I was trying to convince her we needed a new one a few years ago before we were married, when I was supposed to be saving for her engagement ring.

She didn't agree with my rationale that a TV was a smarter buy because we BOTH could enjoy it...

You talking about the ones with the curved screens? Saw one in the states and the picture was unreal. Price was over $40k though.

Bryz probably doesn't count.


I just got Crawford. I'd move Holtby or Harding if the price was right. Berra is now Yeti's problem.

Lost Kreider and Kucherov...both young players I like.


But Trouba and Barkov are 2 young players I love, I think I'll be holding onto them unless I get a great offer.

Yeah, well if you thought Zack Smith was an arm and a leg then I doubt you'll get Crawford, you'd have to overpay for sure an your head would explode if I told you the asking price.

The offers makes scoobys offers look like a steal
