I just did a quick look through the CBA and there is nothing about this, so I guess I was thinking about MLB.
The one interesting thing I did read is that the teams are only allowed to walk away from a certain number of contracts. It really had no effect on the Sabres, but since they had 3 contracts awarded in arbitration, they could only walk away from two of them at most.

I hated the ending of last season, but at least we'll get to see that resolved before the show takes it's long World Series break.

What the hell is the point of this? Does reebok expect fans to go out and buy ref jerseys now too?

I live less than a mile away from one of their locations and I haven't even been there since hockey season. I know, I'm pathetic.
You know what, screw it and go to Legal Seafoods. My roommate is a waiter there. By going their, you can partially fund my NHL Center Ice Package this year.

I'm looking forward to seeing the true comic book version of the joker. Jack was awesome on the role, but that wasn't what the Joker is supposed to be like. Less comedy and more insane, pointless killings will make me happy. I have no idea if Ledger can pull off this role though.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but I've heard from a few people that the MGH cafeteria is supposed to be great. People stop in if they just happen to be in the area, yet for some reason, I've never been there even though I work for MGH.

Granted, it wasn't as big of a game, but I loved the shorty he scored against Atlanta earlier in the year. The play where Kovalchuk took his time skating down the puck in front of his own net.

There's far too many holes in the whole concept to really be able to figure it out. Singer only loosely based his movie on the original 2 Superman movies. If he were to follow the original Superman II completely, there shouldn't even be a fortress of solitude as Superman went to it at the end and destroyed it.
I need to watch that movie again sometime because I don't remember that at all.

And it was announced a whole 6 hours ahead of time too. If they are actually unveiling them today, they might as well just come out and say "we realize they're crap, but we have to get this out of the way now". Then they follow that up by quickly abandoning the jerseys whenever that becomes possible.

At some point, someone on here suggested that the Kryptonite triggered the development of his powers.

Superman can shake a human's hand without crushing it. He can control the amount of force he uses. Maybe he could do a similar thing when he ejaculates. Yeah, I can't believe I just typed that.
As for Superman flying all the way to Krypton, he built a ship. Remember when he crashed back on Earth near his mother's place? Superman can only fly a certain distance in space. He needs to breath too (I get bored at work and read wikipedia crap a lot).

How about the first New England game?

And he was Lance Armstrong's teammate. Let the speculation begin (continue?).

Yep, Kruk is/was a freak. An out of shape baseball player "I'm not an athlete, I'm a baseball player" - one of the best quotes of all-time.
I never put much stock in predictions, but him and Reynolds are both
pretty good at telling you what baseball players are thinking given a scenario.
Just my bias.
I've never gotten that from Kruk, but I did from Reynolds. He was always able to explain bunting technique, baserunning, fielding, and other things. I don't remember ever seeing anything of value from Kruk.
As for the predictions, its an instant credibility killer. I don't see any reason to listen to the guy after hearing him say those things. The only thing worse was a few years back when Larry Bowa was on the show. Whenever they'd make their NL picks, he'd always go with the Phillies.

Kruk is ok? Let's see, last year he predicted 30 wins for Randy Johnson. This year he predicted 130 wins for the Yankees... finishing 2nd in the AL East. I won't even mention the fact that he's a bumbling idiot (wait, I just did). If this is the kind of analysis you're looking for from Baseball Tonight, then I guess he would be ok.
A little change of subject here, does anyone else hate the fact that they now do a countdown for the webgems. It was so much better when they would argue over which play was the best. Unfortunately, espn had to go and take a great show and turn it into "Sportscenter: Baseball".

Music has a calming influence on a lot of people. For me, its my escape from that marketing department, who just happen to be the most annoying people on the face of the earth.
I'm easily annoyed by people, so a screaming little kid in what is usually a much more quiet office is going to drive me crazy

Great, more John Kruk. Thanks a lot espn.
Sabres to walk away from Dumont

It's such a complex document. It's hard to keep track of all the rules. Honestly, I'm a bit surprised that they are allowed to re-sign him now. Obviously there are some obstacles, but in theory, I team could reject the arbitration results in order to work around that rule where they can't renegotiate/extend the contract until January.
