Bring quarters so the parking meter Nazis don't give you a ticket

If I get in trouble, I'll just say I'm a friend of Jsaq. I imagine that should work every time.

By the way, what the happened with Brassard? That seems like an awful lot of money and years. Especially, considering how frugal Sather has been and the deal includes a limited NTC.

What happened is another example of what probably will lead to the next lockout

I'm not and never was in a band. Something I regret, but in my defense, I didn't really know anyone that had any band aspirations, ya know?

Interestingly enough, I'm playing drums for one of my dad's old bands in the middle of August. He was in another one that almost made it- actually had a record released!

But yeah my dad, his 2 brothers, me, and a bass player who is a family friend (who played with them back in the day) are gonna be jammin away come the middle of August. Whole bunch of Beatles covers, Zep, Stones, Skynyrd, Eagles, Neil Young, Petty...it'll be fun!

And I'll legally be able to drink!

I'm not sure what the holdup is. We haven't had one in 1.5 years. It's been forever.

Well see now I just feel like an bumhole.

If he plays as well as he did at the World Championships, he could help 25 NHL teams

Honestly im loving the offseason. Bellemare could be another find for the middle grouping like a raffl on the cheap. Hextalls focusing on cleaning the cap sheet for the team to make some real noise in 3 years. This is a long term process trying to identify an elite defender for the club. But I think their giving themselves a great chance with the batch of young D

Is he a player you feel is worthy of that type of contract.........regardless of any comparables that may have lead to him getting that new deal?

Either side can opt out of this CBA around the 8th year I believe. With the way spending is and will be you think they've learned anything?

They learned they can reduce the players' share every lockout from here on out because the players' have a finite amount of time to produce millions whereas the owners will produce billions through other investments and not bat an eye at losing their NHL revenue.
