I always enjoyed the more.

For all you Bionic Commando fans

And the villain you were looking for was the Eggplant Wizard. Also, you mentioned Mario being in the show, but he wasn't. He had his own show, the Super Mario Bros. Super Show.

There's a button?

And it was Ice Hockey, not NES Hockey. My brother and I had some epic battles in that game. It got downright crazy when you got to OT (or it may have been 2OT) when the goalies were automatically pulled. I'll agree with you on Zelda and Metal Gear too. I can still break out those games and have a hell of a lot of fun. Their music will still randomly pop into my head.

And every single team in the league can run off a long list of their former players that are playing for a playoff team right now. Seeing Jillson on that list brings up a few questions. I can't find anything to suggest that he has spent a single moment with Colorado. It looks like he's even further down their depth chart than he was with us.

But we get our 3 bags of pucks back in return for Thornton. You can never have too many pucks.

IF they lose, they could always go the Boston route and trade Joe Thornton for 3 bags of pucks after a disappointing playoff loss. We'll be glad to take him off your hands.

Actually he sits in that little kid seat part while someone else pushes the cart for him.

And then they wait as the door slowly swings open. You do realize you're actually slowing yourself down by hitting that button, right?

Diners and restaurants will go through a bottle much faster than the typical household though.

I'm also annoyed when people use that button that opens doors for the handicapped. That's more of an issue with the general laziness of people though.

I'm the exact opposite. That day where I open a new bottle is the best, but then for some reason, I throw it in the fridge.

This reminds me of something that I always get a good laugh out of. I work in the 9th floor so I'm taking the elevator most of the time. The 2nd floor of this building has a weight management center. Just about everyone going there always takes the elevator. You know, maybe you wouldn't have to go there half as much if you took the single flight of stairs. Yeah, there are a few people where I understand that they have to use the elevator, but I'm always rolling my eyes because of all the others. But then again, since I work in diabetes research, these people are keeping me employed.

Both teams will be 14-0-1. The media will be all over it.

I got mine through Ten Club too. I like the fact that they should be really good seats. It should create a little battle between my friends over who gets the other seat.

The ticketbastard thing is a fight they cannot win. At least they'll go out and try to make that show worth every single penny. I'll be there too and I have no problem with what I paid.

Jack Nicholson's Joker. Hopefully Heath Ledger will take over that spot though.

I can't even imagine what the elite defensemen like those guys (minus Chara) would get now if they ever actually hit the open market. We're talking $10 million per year here.

No matter how minimal I think their chances are, my heart was really racing during that shootout. Hell, I hate shootouts and still I was a wreck. I guess I just hate seeing a season end, no matter when it happens.

I wouldn't put it past them.

Players are draft eligible from 18-21 years old. If they go undrafted and become free agents, they are still subject to entry level salary restrictions for 1-2 years, depending on their age when they finally sign. I guess it depends on the player, but I wouldn't say that its better to go undrafted. There are a couple years of lost wages. On top of that, if they had been drafted and signed a contract while younger, the player would be out of the entry level system earlier, which means that there is no longer a cap on what they can make per season.

I'm not the least bit surprised. I figured the head in the box thing was a scam the whole time, well, right up until one of the last few episoses where LJ said something about being there when they killed her. It was a lot like the Kellerman thing from the end of last season. They left the door wide open for a return.

I have no favorite player in any sport any more. There's been so much change over the last 10 years or so and I don't see as many of those true superstars anymore. Somewhere along the line I became all about the team and not the players.

Whitmore had some very impressive stats at Bowling Green this year. He has to know how to put the puck in the net if he was 6th in the nation in goals. Yes he's going to need a lot of work, but its a low risk signing. I've seen Kostka several times over the last couple years but really don't remember much about him. But then again, being a defensemen, not noticing him is probably a good thing. He's got decent size and had some offensive upside. Again, another low risk project situation.
