haha no my good man, feel free to continue it here. I will talk comics all day if I can. But for now, I wasn't kidding, I'm going to the record store.

Recently bought a new record player and still have my copy of top gun soundtrack on vinyl. That soundtrack is radical

That's why he's the Iceman.

What the hell is that about? I'm 31 and I still don't get it.

whats top gun? You mean that volleyball movie with the plane stuff in it

Drake is a serious, thoughtful. important artist? Give your head a shake man. Please tell me that was a joke, and the sarcasm just went over me completely.

If not, please stick to commenting on hockey, and ONLY hockey from now on, and going forward. You excel there. You musical preference is highly suspect. lol

Very entertaining. Thanks for the laugh. Needed that after all the F'in snow, cold weather, and my team sucking out loud.

I believe the term"radical" was actually coined to describe the Top Gun soundtrack.

That was not a joke. I consider Drake to be nearly on par with Kanye, St.Vincent, Vampire Weekend, Arcade Fire and Radiohead - basically some of the most important artists of our our time.


And, can I just say that all those video clips are awesome and are easily the top five comments ever posted on HockeyBuzz.

I would love to write a ridiculous 4000 word essay on just that scene. This is the best joke/post anyones every put up here. Nice work my good man, I nearly ruined my computer with a spit-take.

Relax....he likes Celine Dion too.

I still need you to explain why and how you think Rinne is overrated?

This scene was one of hte funniest parts of the series for me

Because before this year, it had been like three years since he had a really good season and I think he' s always benefited from playing in front of the leagues most defensive minded team - or at least one of them. And while I think he's a really good goalie, I just don't put him in the same class as Price or Lundqvist or Rask. I think people also point to this year and say look at those stats - and they are very very impressive - and I just don't think that's a realistic expectation of his performance going forward. Like he's not that good. Its an impressive accomplishment don't get me wrong, I'm just saying, you can't look at it and say "thats what Rinne will always be."

I feel also I should point out that like calling someone "ignorant" calling someone "overrated" has come to be commonly taken in a negative way that is unfair to people using the terms correctly.

I think Shea Weber is overrated too - he probably wasn't a few years ago, but he almost certainly is now. But I still love the way the guy plays and he's still clearly an excellent top ten pairing defensemen and one of the best in the NHL.

Anyways, I hope you know what I mean because I am really only saying that reality is a lot more fluid and less absolute than eye-test and reputation based player evaluations. Then again, my opinions aren't meant to be absolute or "reality' either. It is entirely possible that Rinne once refused to take a "selfie" with me when we ran into each other at Hooters once.

I appreciate you giving your opinion on why you think one of the leagues best goaltender is overrated but I of course and obviously disagree. I don't think you can call a goaltender who's record is 33-7-2 after 42 games played overrated. Oh, and he was out for two weeks and STILL leads the league in wins. Disregard the fact that he plays in front of one of the best defenses in the league and one of the main reasons the Preds are where they are is because of Rinne. Those aren't biased opinions, those are facts. Without Rinne, they're probably in the same position the Coyotes are in. Bottom of the conference.
