What kind of cheap dates do you think hang out on a hockey message board?

I assume Giroux is padding his resume to run for Mayor of Toronto when his hockey career is done.

Rob Ford grabbed 10 asses just on the way in to work this AM.

Claude has a lot of catching up to do.

if it prevents you from getting something you need, then very yes
- BulliesPhan87



What if that need was a need that developed in the future, and wasn't a need at the time of the purchase. Due to issues beyond your control?

I'm not sure how much butt grabbing that's going to get you, but let's get the alcohol flowing and go from there.

I'm not sure I see the difference? Making a bad choice that involves money should be considered "mismanaging" your money. The two should be mutually exclusive. When you have to "manage" your money in a cap world, the margin for error is slim. Therefore, making a bad choice with money would be considered mismanaging your money.

I think you're arguing semantics. But the difference I would compare it to is:

A bad decision would be having $500 and spending all $500 on the grill, and not having enough to buy the propane tank, spatula, and food to put on it.

A mismanaged situation would be having $500 and spending $450 of it on drugs and alcohol, leaving you with only $50 to buy a grill and the things that go with it. You still have a grill, but it turns out to be sucky...

I'd personally put the Flyers in more of the "bad" situation right now. But again, that's just me... mostly because they (Holmgren) spent without regard to the future. It wasn't a mismanagement, as some of the contracts were warranted, and some of the players were good deals... but it wasn't smart because he wasn't thinking of the future implications. Mismanagement would have been something like tying up $30 million a season in 3 players, and not having enough to field a competitive team...

I personally was arrested but not charged, when I was caught underage drinking when I was 17. Never heard of the charges being dropped in a case?

Correctly calculating risk, balancing needs vs wants, optimizing asset value, and responsible budgeting seem to the rest of us to be integral parts of sound cap management, but good luck trying to convince him of that.

If you can't refute the point, attack the poster! I'm on sound ground here. And I know the difference between player management mistakes, with all the unknowns that come with it as an inexact science. And with all the issues that are beyond a team's control. And cap management mistakes.

As long as no golf clubs are around when G is in the sauce, I'm ok with it.

When do G and the Village People memes start popping up?

I can only assume you're G's mentor and said "go ahead, I'm sure the cop won't mind."

I imagine a drunk person would find grabbing the butt of a police officer hilarious.

Its a compliment to have your ass grabbed repeatedly... Obviously its a nice ass, or the grabbing would have stopped after the 4th time.

I think the big issue is that a lot of fans don't agree or don't like what the Flyers cap philosophy has been to this point. That doesn't make it mismanaged .And I think that things like drafting, player development, and trades, get lumped all into one category, and called cap mismanagement. But to me they are all individual subsets and different areas.

I left for two hours and I'm pretty sure there are 8-10 pages of butt grabbing jokes. Awesome! I'm laughing so hard I'm crying.

Well done.
