Levi's are for skids? You would think they would be less expensive if they were for skids.

You mention Swift in the same sentence as the Beatles which is in itself a tremendous sacrilege let alone actually comparing any of her material to one of THE quintessentially brilliant albums of all time - I suggest you go to your room until you want to be a part of this family

I don't think it is sacrilegious at all. The Beatles, for much of their career wrote bubblegum pop and nearly all types of music today are at least somewhat indebted to their work, including radio-friendly pop music.

It's as if snobby rock revisionists have forgotten that the Beatles were essentially the first boy band.

Tanner, definitely check out super Mario RPG for the SNES and the legend of dragoon for PlayStation

I ended up watching movies yesterday, but if they have Super Mario RPG, i'll download that. If not, I'll go with Earthbound.

It doesn't matter how you spin it, the Leafs were the worst team in the NHL last year and yet everyone is still praising them, which is super weird when this is the year everyone started getting out of control concerning not wanting to reward last place teams with high picks.

Reilly and Kadri didn't sign amazing discounted contacts. Kadri still hasn't shown he's a legitimate everyday top line guy. Is 45-50 points a year and no defensive ability really worth 4.5 million? Reilly is a good player, but he's not better than most of the other young defencemen who've been signing 4-5 million dollar deals over the last few years. Is he better than Josi? Is he better than Brodie?

Reilly signed for market value and Kadri signed for more than he's worth based on the numbers he's put up so far.

Kadri put up number similar to guys getting 5.5 mil, but he's not worth 4.5mil?


Why do people who don't know poop bother commenting on hockey blogs?

For real, and to say Kadri has no defensive ability - when this season who was constantly matched up against opponent's top line - that's madness. When our youth develop in 2-3 years Kadri will be on a great 3rd line - shutting down the opposition while scoring goals and rocking the PP. $4.5mil is s at least a bargain by $.5mil.

As for Rielly - he could have signed a two year deal. And in two years the idea of RIelly at $5mil will seem absurd!

It's why I said poster clearly doesn't know what he's talking about. Plays opposition top players, but no defensive ability. Uh ok. Numbers suggest he's overpaid at 4.5mil, but his stats rival guys at 5.5-6mil.

Hockey isn't that dudes thing.

What the (frank) do coiler fans know about good players anyway? They were gifted McDavid and they suddenly know everything there is to know about rebuilds and what makes a good hockey team? Gimme a break, they're some of the most dense fans in hockey.

edit: other than Canucks fans, who are just plain (frank)ing stupid.

So if the team one happens to cheer for is bad, the fans by osmosis are dumb ?
So what does that make leaf fans then? Glass houses and all that bud.

Were the oiler fans in the 80s the smartest and knew all, but those same fans got dumber over time ?

Do u also concede all points regarding hockey to any Blackhawk or kings fan that decides to chime in? Cause of course they must be the smartest on rebuilds since the guy who runs the team of the city they Live in built a champion ...

Everyone can pack it in for the week I think. The dumbest post happened early this time around


Keith plays for the Hawks. Therefore all Blackhawk fans know the most about defensive schemes

Also, u actually said "coiler" and thought it was clever. Delete your account please

Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
