Gary Coleman's Monogrammed Casket

Fuck! Glad he's OK though. Speedy recovery Dan!!!

I'm looking. Most avenues are coming up dead. I'm sure there's an HD broadcast torrent out there. I'll let you know.

Fun analysis of the Bettman interview the other night: http://sports.gunaxin.com/gary-bettman-most-defensive-commissioner-in-sports/60526 Gary Bettman: Most Defensive Commissioner In Sports Not since watching a marathon of the British version of The Office have I seen something so squirm-worthy as Ron MacLean pelting NHL commissioner Gary Bettman with questions in between periods in last night’s Flyers/Blackhawks Game 3. For a guy who’s reviled by hockey fans everywhere, Bettman’s not doing himself any favors going on the CBC and answering every question like he’s been caught taking upskirt photos with his shoe-cam. Bettman’s body language and contentious interruptions suggested a man trying to convince himself as much as he was trying to sway MacLean and the viewers in his efforts to deflect any of MacLean’s questions regarding the health of the NHL in the southern U.S. states. And while Maclean obviously had an agenda going in, Bettman sounded like the weasel lawyer he is: Maclean: I think the players might wonder why you don’t go into Southern Ontario because it could be so profitable. Bettman: What inside of you compels you to want to go in that direction, because I don’t think our viewers are that interested in the franchise status. Yeah, why would Maclean ask the commissioner of the league questions about the future of the league when we can get his informed analysis of the game being played instead? Granted, MacLean’s insistence in trying to steer the whole interview toward expansion in Canada (a prospect Bettman has proven unreceptive to) may have been premeditated, but Bettman’s defensive stance and sputtering denials made for a very uncomfortable viewing experience. The whole thing reminded me of that SNL skit with Martin Short as the oily attorney being grilled by Harry Shearer’s Mike Wallace (sorry about the quality, it’s all i could find):

LOS LOBOS CANCEL ARIZONA PERFORMANCE Grammy Award winning roots-rock band Los Lobos has decided to cancel their scheduled performance at The Talking Stick Resort on June 10th, 2010. The band has made this decision based on the current call to boycott Arizona in response to SB 1070.Through their management, Los Lobos issued the followin...g statement: “We support the boycott of Arizona. The new law will inevitably lead to unfair racial profiling and possible abuse of people who just happen to look Latino. As a result, in good conscience, we could not see ourselves performing in Arizona. We regret the inconvenience this may have caused the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community, Casino Arizona, Talking Stick Resort and our fans, but we feel strongly that it is the right thing to do.†The members of Los Lobos are Steve Berlin, David Hidalgo, Conrad Lozano, Cesar Rosas and Louie Perez. For more information regarding Los Lobos, please contact Madison House Publicity 303.413.8308 megan@madisonhousepublicity.com *www.loslobos.org*

MacLean said he jumped over a wrought-iron railing they have around the patio and went down to the river. Another man, “I think the husband or boyfriend ... of the woman,†had already jumped into the river to assist. “He had already stripped down and was just in his underwear and jumped into the water and pulled the man over onto a raft,†MacLean said. The man had apparently been trying to take his own life. “His throat was all wrapped up in sort-of clear packaging tape and he had rope around him,†he said. MacLean said he and a couple of staff from the hotel helped to pull the man from the raft onto the wharf. “I just reached down with my right arm and two of the staff from the hotel used the velvet rope, then we pulled him up out of the water.†The person who had jumped in to save the man was able to climb out. “He’s the guy who saved him,†MacLean added. Though he heard the man was trying to kill himself, MacLean said man appeared grateful for being saved. “There was kind of a blur and then there was a lot of commotion,†MacLean said of the incident. “When I finally get back to Don, he said, ‘Well that’s just great, I was telling a great story about Dave Bolland and you go running off.’ “

Ok, thanks for clarifying that. I had the game on the PVR and was going through it pretty quick. Putting the time back is only fair

This is why i ask the question. It doesn't seem to be clear. As for going back in time last night, well they did as the replay made the goal count. However, they did not put the clock back 1:27 did they?

well, with more and more access to online streaming, etc. to smartphones they'll have to think up something else soon. Was thinking during that play last night about what would have happened if Chicago had scored during the 1:27 of ensuing play (since the play was never whistled dead). Which goal would have counted?

BTW - what was up with Elliotte going on about it being a "NO NO" that they replayed the goal that was under review to the paying fans in the stands??? Why shouldn't they get to "review" it themselves?

Who got the puck last night? I was sure they were going to highlight that after the goal

Great game last night! Bettman was on fire and skewered Ron. Get better prepared next time Ron and bring the little king down a few notches. Better luck next time McLean.
