Pretty much. Stress has been building as it does at the end of every year. Spent the last 3 weeks piecing together the 6 projects (two of which my group is severely under-manned) for 5 classes and am now left with a research paper for a COMM class, a 15 minute documentary, a storyboard for a project next semester and 4 finals in the next week and a half.

Do a documentary about you being stressed out about exams and storyboard projects.

As I see the Kris Russell debate is once again raging, I've recently come across some interesting perspectives on Russell and stats in general. I urge anyone interested in looking at another perspective to give these a read.

At the bottom of that second article, you can find breakdowns of what offensive and defensive plays they value and see as negatives.

Staples? The only good Oiler writer is Willis. Didn't you know that?

The second piece praised the Top 4 Defensemen, which included both Russel and Larsson.... inexcusable in these parts.

Hey Ladies!

You guys excited for tomorrow? I am excited for you guys!

I think you all have Ruts to thank as he is one of gods chosen people. As most of the chosen people do not sport (not they schtick) the Hockey Gods must have heard Ruts prayers and bestowed upon him (and all your lucky asses) McDavid.

As one of the hockey Goyem I cannot see any other reasons for you guys to be so lucky.

You have a lot on your plate sir. You're a bright kid. You will get it all done and it will be over before you know it. Do what you can to de-stress. You're light years ahead of where I was at that age.

Goalie depth is good. We nabbed Kinkaid from Union College as an undrafted.

Defense Depth is on the right track as well.

Not a lot of good prospects on forward though. Really need a right handed centre.

Maybe you guys should dress JB up how Jero likes him and make sure that MaxB keeps his holes stuffed during the game.

Hockeybuzz wins, oil thread wins, and I am sure the hate (frank) would do JB a world of good.

Take one for the team MaxB!

OK fine. But I am only paying for him to fly as cargo with the pets. I want him on that plane in case it crashes, not drug off before takeoff.

I'm amazed at how dumb some big companies are... It actually blows my mind.

United Airlines was proven to be complete (frank)ing idiots in how they handled that. In other news though, did you hear that Chinese guy's history with the law?

I doubt it. With the number of other goalies available, I don't think Brossoit makes their list. Varlamov, Fleury, Korpisalo or Forsberg, Grubauer, Raanta, Condon, etc are likely to be exposed and are likely viewed as better options than Brossoit.

No. But I heard he was in the Wong place, at the Wong time.
