  1. Good call on the stick thing.  They only need to regulate the length/width of the blade.  If some guy wants to play with a jai lai curve, let him.

    Yup, the only reason they ever started enforcing it was to protect the goalie, well since goalies wear more equipment than riot police, I think it's safe to toss that rule out. Other than actually play hockey again, I'd I'd like to see the NHL do two things, call penalties (interference, hooking, and slashing especially) and do away with the trap/left wing lock/defensive systems that choke out offensive creativity. If the officials called the game the way it was supposed to be called and the league would reduce the size of equipment for all players, there would be no need for any drastic changes in the way the game is played or what size the sheet of ice they play on. People forget that the French Connection did their best work at the Aud, and the ice there was smaller than any other arena in the NHL at the time.

     

    I'm a fan of the no-touch icing that's in effect in the AHL this year. Speeds the game up some and, in the long run, keeps legs fresher.

     

    I like no touch icing, unless there's an actual pursuit of the puck. When there are two players racing for the puck and the ref blows it dead, it really takes the air out of the game. I'd like a modified no touch system, where it's icing unless there is a player from the opposing team inside the blueline. If that was the case, it would be perfect imo.

  2. I like the idea, especially if they're not going to reduce the size of goalie equipment. I'd go with the 2nd idea, just make the nets a little bit bigger, the 1st idea sounds a little to weird, but there aren't any pictures to go by. They need to ditch the 2 line pass and ditch the rules on how much curve a stick blade can have as well.

  3. Lean Mean Prime Time Hot Dog Grillin' Machine?

     

    I guess playing the nickel back for the Ravens wasn't paying enough. They're hot dogs. How do you screw up a hot dog? Who sat down and thought "Man, how can we make hot dogs easier to cook?" I refuse to believe it was Deion that brainstormed this gem. But it's still just as bad when you slap your name on it and endorse it.

     

    "when i took that first big bite i heard a pop and all the juices just rushed into my mouth, man it was delicious"

     

    ^^ <_<:):lol: I didn't know Deion played for that team

  4. We shall laugh last. You YOUNGSTERS will suffer early deafness by your incessant I-pods, you have over a 50% rate of VD infection, you have no pensions, you seldom vote, you can't do routine repair on your cars, house maintenence mystifies you, you sign up for outrageous cell phone contracts, you couldn't write a note on a piece of paper even it if it was to beg why you shouldn't be executed, you can't sew a button on, can't open a can without using a bacteriologically infectious electric can opener, can't make a single financial move without splurting your social security number to anyone who asks for it,  you buy fast and fat food that has resulted in the most porky youth in our nation's history, and so forth. Yet, we OLD MEN still try to look out for you.

     

    Enough? I have more... devil.gif biggrin.gif

     

    After all that you forgot to say damn I sound just like my old man did when I was 21. :blink:

     

    Weren't the Sex Pistols also thrown together by record execs?

    Just as the original Shelby GT500 was the "step up" to big-block power from the GT350, the new Ford Shelby Cobra GT500 steps up to Ford's 5.4-liter "MOD" V-8. The result? The GT500 is the most powerful factory Mustang ever. Its supercharged 5.4-liter, 32-valve V-8 evolves from SVT's experience with supercharging the "MOD" engine to deliver more than 450 horsepower and 450 foot-pounds of torque.

     

    Say what you will about American cars, but this one is pretty damn sweet imo.

  6. Dude, don't be THAT guy. Don't be the guy who puts his own name on the back of a jersey. The Sabres have a lot of young talent including Roy, Briere, Drury, Miller, et al. I think any of those would be jersey-worth.

     

    Droz: What is this? You're going to wear the shirt of the band you're going to see? Don't be that guy.

     

    PCU is funny. ;)

  7. System of a Down

    Van Halen (Roth era only, Hagar blows and Cherone doesn't deserve to be mentioned)

    A Perfect Circle

    Modest Mouse

    Black Sabbath

    Hatebreed

    Kittie

    Godsmack

    Disturbed

    Jimi Hendrix

    Supertramp

    The Who

     

    A lot of the old bands that I like I picked up from listening to my Dad's vinyl that he had around the house when I was growing up. It's too bad that I couldn't see some of the concerts he's told me stories about though, I would've loved to see The Who, Led Zep, Van Halen and Ted Nugent in their primes.

  8. Nirvana was and is to post 90s hard rock/metal/emo, etc. what Led Zeppelin was to everything that followed them. Cobain's genius is undeniable, love him or hate him. And Grohl is one of the most talented musicians playing right now, although he should play more skins!

     

    The sad thing is that 15 years later, we're still dealing with bands trying to recapture the sound. I guess it's kinda like White Snake and all the bands that came after Led Zep that didn't even come close.

    Is there any current band you like? :lol: I agree with most of that list, but I disagree with Coldplay, Ludacris and Jay-Z and to a point Metallica. Coldplay is a breath of fresh air compared to all the "I hate my Dad" rock bands out there now. Ludacris doesn't make quality music, but try and find me better music to get girls dancing at the club or parties than Luda. Jay-Z is the last rapper out there that makes any music that's worth listening to. Early Metallica is awesome...anything after the Black album is craptacular though, especially St. Anger.

  9. Yet you think Britney Spears (or whatever her last name is now) should be in the Rock HOF?

     

    It wouldn't shock me if it happens someday, the R & R HOF is a joke. Black Sabbath and Van Halen aren't in, but Percy Sledge and the Bee Gees are? Rock and Roll Hall of Fame indeed.

     

    As far as bands or musicians that I hate: *insert any emo/screamo band & Van Hagar

  10. I never expected a baseball player to use steroids. Let alone a baseball player who retired early because he couldn't stay healthy. They'll all end up going down as steroid users. McGwire, Sosa, Bonds and most of the rest of them that have been fingered by Canseco and Congress and rightfully so, if Pete Rose gets banned for off the field gambling, then there's no reason why these guys shouldn't be for on the field cheating.
