Matt Cooke has an in-person hearing. So 6+.

Years?

If he does I'm sure it will be as accurate as the Rinaldo piece. That was spot on, imho.
- Scoob

I thought it was slightly overboard. He gave Rinaldo zero credit for making an effort to clean up his act. In terms of delivering clean hits and becoming a serviceable hockey player Rinaldo had come a long way until that Sabres game. Yes he still fought and took dumb penalties. However, he definitely cleaned up his game.

I do not think Rinaldo is a great player. He definitely has less incidents than Cooke and Neal. So I thought the blog was just a bit overboard. Especially when other suspensions were not addressed. Just my thoughts.

I thought Rinaldo's suspension was accurate. I think all suspensions should be twice as much as they are now.

Under these new rules, I don't think he would be considered a repeat offender. That was a disgrace what he did. Guy should be out of the League.

I don't care what anyone says, what he did to Erik Karlsson was intentional. Not to mention his blatant head shot ended Marc Savard's career.

I was referencing Paul Stewart's blog not the length of suspension. I thought the remainder (4 games) of the regular season was appropriate.

What color suit did he wear?

just your general dark. it was just weird to hear it be referred to as "oh ashley (i think thats what her name was) and stephen had SUCH a nice wedding down in florida. flew most of the family down and everything.

like no poop.

Interesting theory.

It became apparent after I applied the eyeball test to all the numbers

I have a feeling whoever wins tonight will take a lead in the series.
- BulliesPhan87

That seems like a stretch. I think its safer to assume that whichever team doesn't win tonight will be down a game.

I hear you. I've forced myself to realize that there is no such thing as free time anymore. Just time. I'm always in such a rush to get to a certain point in the day that i skip over important moments in the day.

Like the Flyers are on at 8 tonight. So i have to make sure i really play with my son when i get home from work instead of "kinda" play with him but really am just killing time until the Flyers come on.

Makes me angry. Work 40 hours a week. 15 hours a week driving to and from work. 5 hours a week getting ready and making my lunch.

60 hours just for a job that pays me 45k.

I think I read he won't be a considered a repeat offender when it comes to the financial penalty, but not the amount of games.....something like that.

I'm just going to quit my job and watch Rugrats all day.

FYI if you do a google search for "futurama memes", there is a smoke hot chick well worth taking a look at.

Don't know if i can say she is in her underwear or not, but it's awesome.
- Flyersgod

I hate to be a killjoy... but that girl is Kate from Kate's Playground and she has a goddamn flipper for a foot. It is horrifying and you will not be able to unsee it, so certainly do not google it.

I still vividly remember how nervous 10 year-old me was for that game, especially since the Islanders came back from an 0-3 deficit in their prior series.
- Scoob

You and me both, though I can still remember my Dad, as soon as he saw the red carpet, saying to me, Kate Smith's here, we got this one!

He doesn't have opinions, he has facts. He doesn't agree, he knows.

Weddings suck. I'm planning one now. I wish I could have a destination wedding and not pay for anyone. It would weed out the ones who really aren't committed.

Oh ok... The financial aspect is the least of these players concerns. I think Cooke should be out of the NHL. He's a complete POS.

I worked at a restaurant he frequented in Old City. I don't think he would have been the most faithful companion.
- PhillySportsGuy

Oh, no way he'd be faithful. He, Richie, Carter, and Lupul all probably have 7-12 STDs from all the gettin' around they did. But I'm just talking from a modern-day Joey Lawrence heaththrob mindset.

I hope they dust that fossil off for a duet tonight.

That whole thing jumped the shark years ago.....

In my opinion.

That seems like a stretch. I think its safer to assume that whichever team doesn't win tonight will be down a game.
- ThirdEye

I have a tough time seeing how both these predictions can be true.

Henrik Lundqvist has yet to be a factor in this series.

This has me sweating bullets... when/if Hank turns it on, the Flyers could be in trouble if they don't significantly improve their play over the first two games.

couldn't agree more - however, we know it's not happening - although i'm sure teams will be hesitant in signing him. I bet he gets over 20.

I suggest a quick flight to Vegas, massive alcohol consumption and Elvis to officiate!

I did the Royal Carribean cruise. Got married right on the ship before we sailed. All the wedding guests got off....it was awesome.

Now...the rest of the marriage.....
