I just saw this today. I get a prostitution vibe from that commercial.

They've gotten a ton of free publicity out of this one. I wonder if this move might hurt them now. As far as the journalist thing goes, how much freedom comes along with that label anyway?

Yeah, absolutely. I have no problem with Lydman as a whole. I can think of a long list of defensemen I'd rather have him over.

A scandal is a bit different than someone's property.

Lydman absolutely sucks with the puck and that's something that will never change. I want to say it was him last night who was the direct cause of one of the 3rd period goals. Buffalo won a faceoff clean in their zone back to Lydman and he quickly threw it up the board blindly. Boston scored a couple seconds later off the turnover. If a team could find an effective way of masking this weakness, they'll be very happy with their signing.

I'm just wondering just how much of an effort was made to return it. I'm guessing not much. The big question in my mind though is what exactly are journalists entitled to do? Does that journalist label give them a free pass to take apart and spill the details of a product that they know is not theirs? It doesn't seem right to me. Also, is it the state on the hook or the judge who signed off on the warrant?

I know people who do exactly that and yes, many of them do deserve to be treated just the same as the guy posting something from him mom's basement. DrDank is right on about how criteria can be established, I just don't have the slightest clue how they go about it. If they put in a reasonable effort, sure, but I just don't buy it. I wish I could remember where I saw the pictures of the guy, but the whole thing seems fishy to me. Is the person taking the pictures the same person who claimed the phone after he left it?

Maybe in the legal sense it isn't theft, but it's downright dirty. Whoever took it knew exactly who it belonged to and chose to make some cash off of it. I don't see how that is ok. You pretty much got my point. If one gets it, they all get it. Maybe scary isn't the right word, but I cringe at the thought of these thousands of wannabe writers out there all of a sudden thinking they're important.

Maybe I'm remembering things incorrectly, but I thought I saw pictures somewhere of the actual guy who lost the phone. Either way, they knew exactly who the phone belonged to. They willingly bought stolen property. They then analyzed it before doing the "noble thing" of "searching" for the real owner. I'm sure this stuff goes on all the time, but that doesn't make it right. The real scary thing though is if bloggers are given those same rights as journalists. That will give a free pass to just about everyone out there.

The problem I see is that they know exactly who it belongs to. Are you entitled to take someone's property just becuase they misplaced it? It definitely sounds like a decent case could be made for theft. I'm not the least bit familiar with protections allowed for journalists, but theft couldn't possibly be one of them, could it?

And two cross ice passes to wide open forwards for goals. Miller might be able to stop those, but it's a near miracle when it happens.

Did they actually take it apart in their research? I'm not entirely sure from the original article. If they did, that doesn't seem right to me. They have no right to do that.

I don't know how you can say this without mentioning the NBA and their whole recent scandal.

Sounds a bit like going to one of the Sabres-Bruins games out here last week.

That's some of the best english I've ever seen in an athlete's twitter post. I like this kid already.

Game winner for Chara. I'm almost ready to guarantee it.

Is he trying to make the point that we'll be doing the same thing soon enough?

Peters would've fit in quite well.

Yeah, the plan for finding a franchise QB is to wait until next year's draft.

What impact does the lack of a cap this year have on the rookie deals? Is the rookie cap still in place or is there no limit on how much they spend on the rookie class?

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the original Super Best Friends episode.

How did I miss this one originally? I'm a Stanley fan.

I need to learn how to count.

The fact that he skated yesterday was probably just done for show (just like Savard skating for Boston), but if he were to somehow actually come back and play game 6, it would go even further towards making those people look like fools.
