I'm counting on the scotch to keep me going, besides I've hated the Rangers with a passion since the 74 semis!!

Just started up on that a few months ago. Nothing too fancy, but Laphroaig tops any others I've sampled as of yet. Any suggestions along the lines of the Laphroaig?

My colleague and friend Bob McKenzie shared the following information with me that should address your questions. A player's record is expunged if he goes 18 months without an infraction but that only applies to the formula for calculating lost wages. If a player has a fine or suspension in last 18 months, he's a repeat offender and the lost wages formula is based on number of games suspended (5/82 for a five game suspension) as opposed to number of days (5/182 for a five game suspension in a 182-day regular season).

But a player's "history" stays with him as a permanent record and the NHL can take into account any or all past transgressions when determining length of a suspension.

History doesn't allow the NHL to suspend a player who, if not for his history, wouldn't be suspended. But once an illegal play has taken place, the NHL can use Matt Cooke's history as part of his sentencing even if his transgressions were years ago.

In the playoffs there are no lost wages; therefore the actual repeat offender status doesn't come into play for a player suspended in the playoffs unless the suspension carries over to the regular season.

Glenfiddich 15 year Solera reserve is similar, but better IMO

Berating them mercilessly IS associating with them. He may take it all in fun. She may not. It is typically not a girl thing to cope well with what guys consider friendly ribbing. So rib him.

thanks for the advice bo.
They're both awesome, both willing and able to do some ball busting.

As bad as pointing out a hot chick to a buddy only to have her turn around and clearly be around 15?

The singer I work with is my friends 17 year old daughter, who is not only a great singer, but a beautiful girl as well.

I have to double as both her guitarist and her bodyguard most nights!
