This is the last time I'm going to try this!

I appologize to everyone for everything I've said or done to upset anyone in the past. I come here to talk hockey and people immediately jumps on me despite what I said.

I can only ignore it for so long before natural human instinct kicks in and I have to defend myself.

To anyone who hates me I understand why because I put myself in that postition, I would like to now call a truce and just talk hockey.

If I break said truce then bash me all you want but please accept my appology and let it go.

Thank you

This one is a series of clusterfuks by the unknowing one.

Hanson just made Johnson's life flash before his eyes.
- Unholy_Goalie

Johnson isn't in net anymore. John Curry.

Curry didn't see the puck otherwise his life would have flashed before his eyes too.

Johnson from the bench was the joke.
- Unholy_Goalie

I don't think it was.
- burn

It was. Curry didn't even see the shot and that was obvious.
- Unholy_Goalie

It was obvious. What makes no sense in your supposed joke is Johnson wasn't in there. Admit that you didn't know who was in net.
- burn

But Johnson was on the bench and was also in the game before hand meaning, if he was in net for that shot, it could have hit him and since Curry clearly didn't see it, he had nothing to fear. You really are slow with this stuff aren't you?
- Unholy_Goalie

Johnson is scared on the bench.

Yeah I'm, slow.


Just admit that you didn't know who it was and move on.

And you seem to have no idea how to conjugate pronouns in English.

Your is a possessive.

You're is a conjugation of you and are.....

As in "You're a total moron to call someone else stupid, while showing that your grasp of the language is lacking badly."

To me, Gretzky's legacy is forever altered by the entire process in Phoenix-the way the NHL and Bettman bent the rules left and right to allow his group to buy the team in the first place, the fact that as a part owner, he filled the organization with cronies rather than competent hockey people and was part of a group that ran the team into the ground, and finally, for being a subpar head coach.

Yes, he was the second or third greatest player ever and did play a huge role in helping Canada to Olympic gold. But his involment with the Coyotes, to me, spoils what he did on the ice.

fantastic thread!

As everyone knows, I love statistics. So I thought that today would be a great day to update everyone on how I'm going to decide what I have for lunch.

The first factor is the yummyness factor. This is where I think of all of my options for lunch, and assign a number from 1 to 7.

1. Leftover pizza - cold (4.5)
2. Leftover pizza - microwaved (4.7)
3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (3.7)
4. Nachos (5.8)
5. Grilled cheese sandwich (4.2)

The next factor is the effort factor - which reflects how much effort I will have to put into making my lunch. Normally, you would think that this number will have a high importance in my ridiculously complicated formula, as it's Sunday, and you'd think that I have a wicked hangover, but I actually stayed home last night, so I'm not as hurting as you would think.

1. Leftover pizza - cold (2.0)
2. Leftover pizza - microwaved (3.6)
3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (5.2)
4. Nachos (6.6)
5. Grilled cheese sandwich (5.9)

The next factor - a really important one - is the clean-up factor. This incorporates not only the clean-up of the kitchen stuff I used to make my lunch, but also the cleaning of the dishes, wiping the crumbs off the couch, etc. Once again, this factor would be a lot higher if I was hung over, as Mrs. Atomic Wedgie would be harping on me to clean up the kitchen, and would be relentless in hassling me until the kitchen was cleaned.

1. Leftover pizza - cold (2.6)
2. Leftover pizza - microwaved (2.9)
3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (5.2)
4. Nachos (5.9)
5. Grilled cheese sandwich (6.1)

And the final factor - and maybe the most important one - is the how well a couple of beers goes with the lunch factor. This is key, as I'm going to make my lunch around 12:30 pm, so that I can crack open a couple of wobbly pops and watch afternoon football.

1. Leftover pizza - cold (8.25)
2. Leftover pizza - microwaved (6.7)
3. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich (2.1)
4. Nachos (8.7)
5. Grilled cheese sandwich (4.7)

After analyzing all of the data above, one can clearly see that the peanut butter and jelly sandwich is trending downwards. I feel like the grilled cheese sandwich could definitely be a contender next weekend, but the time isn't right for it right now. I'm going to leave leftover pizza out right now, because I feel it could be a great snack at about 4:00 pm - especially if I don't nuke it.

So it looks like nachos for lunch.

Eklund's 30 Crazy Predictions for the 2009-2010 NHL Season.

1. Anaheim- Bobby Ryan will dominate to the point that he is not only on the US Olympic Team as a starter but will officially cross over into superstar status with over 100 points.

2. Atlanta- The Thrashers will remain in the top 8 for the most part into January and Kovalchuk/Antropov will set a record for points by a Thrashers duo in a month.

3. Boston- The Bruins Blake Wheeler will step up as the team's second leading scorer in the absence of Kessel and after not getting an Olympic invite to the USA Camp will be a major player in Vancouver.

4. Buffalo- The Sabres will have the best home record in the NHL, but among the worst road records in team history until Enroth takes over as the starting goalie at some point and goes on a crazy hot streak.

5. Calgary-The Flames will become an offensive minded team that struggles on the blueline despite the addition of Bouwmeester and defensive coach Sutter.

6. Carolina- Eric Staal will break the 50 goal mark and finally be among the top ten NHL scorers, due to a record setting number of power play goals.

7. Chicago- The Hawks Anti Niemi will take the #1 spot in goal and never look back spurring on Huet rumors by early December.

8. Colorado- The Avalanche's Matt Duchene will outshine all other rookie scoring leaders early (but get caught by Tavares) and draw favorable comparisons to Sakic's early years

9. Columbus- The Jackets will not only be the best team defensively in the NHL, they will run away with it.

10. Dallas- The Stars rookie Jamie Benn will amaze everyone and add some needed speed and flair to the Stars

11. Detroit- Darren Helm will become a huge player for the Wings and will be among the teams top 5 scorers for a large chunk of the season

12. Edmonton- Jordan Eberle. remember that name. Not a crazy pick, but he will be as strong as Mike Richards was in his rookie campaign

13. Florida- The Panthers will name a GM.

14 LA Kings- Ryan Smyth will return to form and have his best season in 5 years leading the Kings to a better record than the Anaheim Ducks for the first time in....a long time

15. Minnesota- The Wild's Brent Burns will be a Norris Trophy Finalist

16. Montreal- Carey Price will carry the team again and will lead all goalies in save percentage.

17. Nashville- Colin Wilson will start his journey en route to becoming the most marketable and biggest crossover star the Preds have had in their history. His play on the ice along with the perfect personality for Nashville will make him the cities first player with legit "Star Power."

18. New Jersey- Martin Brodeur will break his own season shut out record and go on to lead Team Canada to brilliance in Vancouver.

19. NY Islanders- The Islanders will shock the hockey world with the first major trade of the season bringing in a big name player to play along side Tavares from a team in need of Cap help.

20. NY Rangers- The Rangers will participate in the first Bench Clearing Brawl that the NHL has seen in years in Madison Square Garden against the Flyers.

21. Ottawa- The Senators Spezza will have his best season of his career and lead the Sens back to the playoffs while also landing himself a spot on Team Canada.

22. Philadelphia- The Flyers will have the #1 Power Play and the #1 Penalty Killing unit in the NHL led by Mike Richards and Claude Giroux.

23.Phoenix- The Coyotes will challenge for a playoff spot after a hot start that will have them leading their division after the first month of the season.

24. Pittsburgh- Bill Guerin will score 40 goals and be named Captain of the US Olympic team.

25. San Jose- The Sharks Combo of Thornton and Heatley will struggle heavily in the regular season causing both players Olympic Spots to come into question, but it will ll change come playoff time when Thornton and Heatley will dominate and take the Sharks to their first Cup Final.

26. St Louis- The Blues will continue their hot pace and shock everyone by beating out Chicago and Detroit for the Division Title. Chris Mason will challenge for the Vezina.

27. Tampa- The Lightning will finish second in the Division and battle the Caps hard all year. Hedman will run away with rookie of the year honors and the Lightning will break some records set by their Cup team.

28. Toronto- The Leaf's will be the best defensive team in the Eastern Conference and lead all teams in allowing the fewest even strength goals.

29. Vancouver- The Canucks will run away with their division but get a major contribution from a player that no one expects right now. Either Sundin or the now "lost in the shuffle" Cory Schneider.

30. Washington- Mike Knuble, who is incredible in front of the net and can bang in rebounds like no ones business will score close to 50 goals playing with Ovechkin and Backstrom.

I like Maguire but I think his problem is that he thinks he is the best analyst in the game. Everyhting he does he has to throw in dates, names, places just to prove a point. Bob McKenzie if asked who will win the scoring race would give an answer like:

Sidney Crosby will have the best chance. He plays with 2 solid linemates ion Guerin and Kunitz and will be part of one of the most dunamic Powerplays in the game. Sidney Crosby is my choice.

If McGuire is asked it would be more like:

From Cole Harbour , Nova Scotia. Stanley cup champion, World Cup Champions, World Junior Champion, Art Ross winner at the age of 19, playoff performer, has scored 100 or more points in 3 of his 4 seasons, one of the best face off performers in the league and one of the hardest workers I have ever seen. Sidney Crosby. At which point he would give his analysis of : Sidney Crosby will have the best chance. He plays with 2 solid linemates ion Guerin and Kunitz and will be part of one of the most dunamic Powerplays in the game. Sidney Crosby is my choice.

I am just getting fed up of having to throw every single credential into every question he is asked.

His wife must really want to kill him on some nights if he acts the same way at home. Can you just imagine him at Dinner.

McGuire walks up to the McDOnalds counter. What would it be Mr. McGuire.

How can anyone look past the #1 trio. 2 All beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese on 3 sesame seed buns. Are you kidding me? Not only is this the best meal at this establishment but it is served with a number of golden french fries made from potatoes just outside of Charlottetown PEI. I've seen the way these fries are deep fried, they are a perfect compliment to perhaps the greatest burger I have ever had.......this meal is going to be a monster.

Then he turns to the kid standing next to him. Good luck with the happy meal. You should have taken the Big Mac. Trust me when I tell you this, there is nothing happy about that meal. 3 Chicken nuggets good within itself, but without the compliment of french fries or a soft drink. You're going to be picking out pieces of apple slices out of your teeth until your mother address' this situation. You see this Big Mac trio......thats the way a meal is built, it's going to be a long day for you .

Kudos to you for even knowing that there IS a difference!!

Miss USA is mostly about looks. There are three phases of competition all weighted equally - evenging gown, swimsuit and interview.

Miss America is more about the total package. There are five phases of competition - Talent at 35%, Interview at 25%, Evening Gown at 20%, Swimsuit at 15% and On Stage Question at 5%.

There are three things that really make the Miss Ameica system different...there is a talent portion, the interview is much more intense and, most imprtantly, it provides millions of dollars in scholarships not only to the winners, but runner ups, preliminary winners, etc. every year.

Neither system is necessarily "better" than the other. They are just different. There are girls that are successful only in one system, but there are many that crossover and are successful in both.

Hope this explains it
