So... the country is considered in Asia... but the Capitol is within Europe. That's not stupid or confusing. - Guile
Ummm... Its not considered Asian. The majority of the land mass is in Asia but the overwhelming Russian population is in Europe. Moscow and St. Petersburg are by far the two biggest metropolitan areas in that country and both are European. Beyond just semantics, Russian identity and politics has always been intimately tied to the European continent since the Middle Ages. Russia's Asian holdings are basically empire territories that consist of a ton of non-Russian ethnic groups and tribes. Calling Russia Asian is like saying the British Empire was American because the majority of its landmass was in the Americas.

Sleeping. I was a bit drunk last night so I stayed up to watch a movie after the game and didn't go to sleep until 2. I see that Boyde and Grinder set you straight already.

Oh, you are on vacation already. Mine doesn't start until end of work day today. >_<
Well poop... I mean, I’m excited Simon is back but I really like Wilson’s game. - Rinosaur
I'm a bit worried about personnel changes on that 4th line too, but they didn't miss a step subbing out Grant for Sheahan, so hopefully the forward depth continues to be strong.
Pearson started out hot for Pittsburgh, scoring three goals in his first six games. But since then, he’s managed just one goal and one assist in the next 11. "There’s a reason for that," said Rutherford. "He’s been playing with a really bad hand since the Colorado game (on Dec. 4). But he’s really smart. He’s a really good two-way player. Overall, he’s been a good addition for us and he’ll be even better once he gets healthy."
Why not keep that 4th intact and give him a bit of rest over the Holidays?
