In his condition? One more year damaged him that badly? The heart surgery is going to have no effect on his game. In fact, it may actually help him.

The plane scene is the only one I can think of that would be great for an Imax.

I'm here until two. So far I've counted 11 people here. Usually there's around 60 people here.

That was the last level I played here at work last week, so I just tried it again. It turns out that I was thinking of a different level yesterday when I tried to help. You have to take one the colors on the bottom-left square and wrap it around the color in the top corner of the top square. I wish I could describe it better, because once you get that one, it's pretty straight forward.

I wasn't a big fan of Routh's version of Clark Kent. Something was missing, but I can't really figure out what it was.

I won the game earlier today. I wish I could remember the exact number of levels, but I want to say 29. I was stuck on 23 for a while. I'd have to see it to know exactly how I cleared. If I'm remembering it correctly, you have to weave one of the colors on the top square around on the right side of the cube. I hope that helps.

Respect or not, the Sabres would've never been willing to give him more than 2.5 a year. McKee would never walk away from the extra 1.5 million. He'd have to be crazy to.

What, Doug Janik, Michael Leighton, David Cullen, Chris Taylor, and Sean McMorrow aren't worth mentioning as UFAs?

So what exactly is in this teaser clip? For some reason it won't work on my computer.

I'm willing to give them the benefit of doubt until I see an actual jersey. The more I think about it, I can live with the crappy logo as long as its a more traditional style jersey (no diagonal stripes, 3 colors max).

23 is where I'm calling it a day.

I wonder what these ratings would look like if there was a world cup every year. It never seems right to compare a yearly event to one that happens every 4 years.

There are a few other problems. -The jersey has a CCM tag. All NHL jerseys, other than the Canadiens (and maybe one or two others) now have Reekbok tags. There's also some weird effect going on with that CCM tag that I'm having trouble putting to words. -The stripe pattern along the sides looks like it was just drawn on using Paint or some other program. Notice how the seem across the bottom in the white section of the jersey disappears in the darker colors.

If we're going by the cartoon, Starscream was great, but I never did like the toy too much. The arms and the way the head/nose of the jet swung around always annoyed me. If I had to pick a favorite toy, I think I'd go with Grimlock.

Devastator is a must. That right there was the greatest toy of all time.

Obviously the character sucked, but I did like the toy. The yellow spoiler (is that what that thing was) was kickass. One other quick comment, when the inevitable Prime-Megatron fight happens, they need to bring back the "One will stand. One will fall." line.

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I watch that clip too. Stupid Hot Rod.

A friend of mine who writes for a college hockey magazine out here in Boston (Brian Sullivan, Hockey Magazine East) wrote this about Biega:

"You've got the touch... you've got the power!" They better use the same exact sound track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4rgIRNyvzE...optimus%20prime

Get rid of those angled stripes and I could live with it. Hockey jerseys should be as simple as possible.

I know exactly what you were saying. My point is that no one says this stuff about any of those big market teams even though they do the same exact thing. It's not a shot at you, just a general comment.

I'm sick of reading comments like this. League-wide, every RFA who receives a qualifying offer is given the absolute minimum. If Philly or Detroit did this to one of their RFAs (and I guarantee that you will), no one would accuse them of being cheap, but since we're the small market, people just assume Darcy's a cheap bastard.

That's #1 on my list when I come home in August. My friends always laugh at me when I tell them how good beef on weck is. They have no idea what they're missing out on.

I'd rather see predictions like this instead of all the New England-Philadelphia predictions we got over the last two seasons.
