Maybe we could use the opportunity to pick up another safety or two...

Bye, Tim. We hardly knew ye. I kinda liked Tim, but we had too many. The coaches obviously like Royal, and Everett wasn't going anywhere, and it sure seemed like Cieslak was moving up in the world. Cieslak makes me think of the Sleestacks from "Land of the Lost". Watson sounds like their backup MLB. Interesting. Young guy, wonder how much upside he has.

My stepfather drove one of the landing boats for England that day. Can't even imagine.

I occasionally suffer from "Intermittent Explosive Disorder", although I thought it had something to do with the toilet.

Maybe they somehow knew their airbags weren't going to inflate?

A post mentioning the words "Kool-Aid" in 5...4...3.......

I have to say I'm impressed at the range of responses to the original post.

NOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo!!!!!!

The imagery was fantastic. The dialog was so bad it physically hurt. And although it was cool to see the storylines all tied up together, the last few minutes were so rushed together it just seemed like a half-assed effort to get the picture over with.

And yet...it wasn't as bad as I remembered it. It was worse. Put down the pen and step away from the screenplay, George!

Just another argument in favor of forced sterilization. That's all.

IIRC, Buffalo was sort of in the running when Colorado got the Rockies. I recall that a lot of arguments were put forth to suggest that Buffalo couldn't support a pro baseball team, even though the Bisons had better attendance than a number of MLB teams. I honestly don't think they could support a baseball team. I can't stand pro basketball, so I don't even care about the NBA.

Wow. I don't even know what to say. Never really interacted with him much myself, but it still hits hard.

He was painful to watch. Very painful.

Well, if it's necrotizing fasciitis, he's definitely got problems.

Crap. You just knew that penalty would kill us. That, and Fitzpatrick.

So I'll ask the next question: Isn't a viral infection an infection?

It's awesome...I just don't want the ride to end just yet.

God I want them to kick Carolina's ass so badly.

That may be true, but Mair was the guy who was way out of position on the Canes goal. It's 5-on-5, for crying out loud, and this guy was crowding the net when he should have been pressing the point man. Instead, he had an open shot. One thing I've noticed about the Canes is that they pressure our guys when they're on the defensive, much moreso than we do. Especially when they're a man down. If you notice, they are always pressing the man with the puck. It seems to work well against our power play. We tend to lay back a bit more when we're a man down, which is more typical but...makes me have about three heart attacks per penalty kill.

Who are you, and what have you done with Joe? I agree...this team is all heart and guts.

"Can't stay up on your feet, Staal? Hey, can't stay up on your feet? What happened there?" Oh, and Staal's consecutive point streak is over!

Damn. How the hell are they going to pull this one out? I just can't believe how well they've played despite all of these key injuries...I mean, these are REALLY big injuries, and so freaking many of them. Injuries are part of the game, but just imagine how these guys would look with those players back in the lineup... I'm gonna be a mess on Thursday.

Well hell, if it was in private it sure wouldn't have been worth it!

That sucks. But having done that myself a number of years back, there's just no getting over it quickly. It hurts. You can't push off. And no matter what you try, it WILL take weeks to heal and get your normal motion back. I was surprised to hear he was out there...but unfortunately not that he couldn't make it through.
