  1. Bogo's giveaway led to Carolina's only goal. The rest of the game he was pretty good. Carolina should have been called for about 30 interference penalties. I hate the NHL for their unwilliness to penalize the neutral zone trap out of the game.
  2. I don't blame the coach for the slow starts. I've heard enough from Bylsma to know that he's telling them the right things. It's on the players, especially the veterans to take the advice and put it to good use. This team is short a nasty, physical player who will go out and throw a big hit or start a fight when the team is lagging. Delaurier is as close as we get but he doesn't have the credibility nor get enough ice time to be that guy. I can't help but think the way this team plays offense doesn't suit the skills. We're way to quick to give up possession and dump and chase. That was why I was hoping for Babcock - in his system the team's biggest goal is keeping control of the puck. Dumping it in is excessively rare.
  3. I'm glad. I haven't seen it yet but the trailers look fantastic - an absolute epic.
  4. Who do you want back? Some of those picks pretty much had to be traded because you can only have 50 players under contract. There was no way to keep all those assets in house anyway.
  5. Thanks for sharing that. I loved the whole All Star fiasco involving John Scott. I love it even more now that he's further exposed what a weasel Bettemen truly is.
  6. The current model is a monopolistic practice that drives up cost significantly. http://www.theihcc.com/en/communities/health_plans_managed_care/will-buying-health-insurance-across-state-lines-re_h26f1qwe.html
  7. Nah. Law enforcement always lets people who kill people in broad daylight on a busy street go without charges. Joe McKnight was a great guy who some chick worked with one time (as if that means he wasn't capable of ever losing his temper). The other dude is a scared, brutal murderer who should be executed. Welcome to today's America, where we jump to ridiculous conclusions based on little more than speculative "evidence."
  8. One player makes no difference...right.
  9. Cleary the same thing.
  10. Goodbye to Tate, who is likely a UFC Hall of Famer. She reminds me a little of Couture, a warrior who was a little limited in her game. Last night, her lack of speed and inability to keep her head off the center line was obvious as Pennington easily negated each attack. Alvarez may have fought the dumbest fight I've ever seen. Nothing like leading with your face and being unable/unwilling to defend the overhand left because you're too slow/off balance when you throw a right hand. It'll be interesting to see if the UFC forces CM to defend or vacate the 145 pound title or fight either Ferguson/Nurmagomedov.
  11. No kidding. That was a VERY impressive performance. Johnson made a mistake not going for the kill early when KM was clearly wobbled. He paid dearly for playing it safe.
  12. The 1998/99 Bronco teams were both very good. They were top 2 in scoring and top 8 or better in scoring defense. Tough to argue with 33-6 over 2 seasons with a pair of rings.
  13. CARMAX isn't a bank. No one should ever go into a dealer without their own financing set up. Always negotiate from a position of power so you make the best deal possible.
  14. Every good NFL defensive coach has zone blitz packages that require DLinemen to drop into coverage on occasion. Bill Belichick does it. Dick LeBeau is the master of it. Rex's sin wasn't asking Mario to drop into coverage, it was not benching his ass once he started mailing it in. Mario is gone and that's a good thing. His window is closed. Next.
  15. Yes. There was pretty much zero reason to trot Mario out there given the **** he was pulling. Wrong message to send to a team with so many young players. Belichick woulda cut Mario for pulling that bull ****. I'd rather lose with guys who are trying to win than watch a guy with superstar talent mail it in down after down.
  16. EJ is a good dude. I wish he was a better player because he's so easy to cheer for.
  17. Completely agree. Give me the guy giving full effort every time. Hockey players who coast last about a shift in the NHL.
