It's your argument.

So, what's your definition of Global Cooling?

Sorry about that double post AD. Anyways............when are the wonder twins Ollie/Dinghy going to pipe in and complain?

No you dont. They do. None the less, congrats!

That is hysterical.

Life is one fuckin' beauty contest after another.

So, I just learned that Grisman offers a new song for download every day on his website thanks to his newsletter I get in the mail. I started today and plan to continue grabbing what will be wonderful offerings. www.acousticdisc.com

Well Jared, I would have guessed you were looking for a heady mama with your first post but why do you consider that question stupid?

Hahahhaa, so a conversation between Elliot Friedman and Scotty Bowman went like this on CBC: Elliot: In 93-94 there were rumblings that Steve almost went to the Ottawa Senators for Alexei Yashin. How close did that come to actually becoming a reality? Bowman: That would never have happened. (Truth be told, there were a number of rumours in that part of his career and I still remembering hearing the Habs were pitching for him......which I obviously wanted to happen!)

Every fan of hockey is going to miss you. (taken from a Michael Rosenberg article in the Detroit Free Press printed on July 5th, 2006) Detroit — Ty Cobb was once voted the best baseball player of the first half of the 20th century — ahead of Babe Ruth. Gordie Howe is often called, matter-of-factly, the best all-around hockey player ever. Barry Sanders was arguably the best player ever at arguably the most important position in football. Isiah Thomas is considered the best little man in NBA history. Steve Yzerman only made the All-NHL first team once. And yet, when we speak of Detroit sports icons, Yzerman is right near the top of the list. Yzerman’s stature is not just about performance, although his was exceptional. (He only missed out on All-NHL honors because he played the same position, in the same era, as Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux.) Yzerman has a mystique that can largely be explained by what he didn’t do. He did not change teams. (Heck, in the age of marketing idiocy, when teams get new logos every few years, he did not even change uniforms.) He did not intimidate rookies for his own amusement. He did not get arrested, he did not ask out of Detroit, he did not moan about his salary; he did not complain terribly when people said he was a great player but had never won a Stanley Cup. He did not bristle when former Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman asked him to become a more defensive player; instead, he adapted and won the Selke Trophy as the league’s best defensive forward. He did not seek attention but did not whine when he got it. When Yzerman spoke to reporters, he did not always say something memorable, but he also did not ever say anything stupid. Yzerman’s most celebrated trait is leadership. His job description and nickname are one and the same: The Captain. But even in that role, he was effective largely because of what he did not do. “You can’t just have somebody talking every day,†Bowman said. “He didn’t do that.†Yzerman was asked when he retired Monday — after 22 seasons, the last 19 as captain — to name his greatest accomplishment. Fittingly, he did not pick one. This allows others to see what they want to see, to remember what they wish to remember. And what will we remember most? In 1997, Yzerman led the Wings to their first Stanley Cup in 42 years, ending the longest drought in the NHL. In 1998, he won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP. Logically, any Yzerman remembrance should start with those two achievements. But for people who watched Yzerman up close, the enduring memory is of the 2002 Stanley Cup run, when he did not give in to the agonizing pain in his right knee. “Not being able to pregame skate through the entire playoffs, not being able to practice through the playoffs and after every game his knee just swelling up — he basically had ice bags from his ankle all the way up to his hip to settle the swelling down,†teammate Kris Draper said. When he got knocked to the ice that spring, Yzerman had to lean on his left knee just to lift himself up. “Just getting through that was really a struggle for me,†Yzerman said. “Sometimes I thought I was effective, other times I thought I was just buying time out there.â€

Yup. Unbelievable play calls. Paging Oakland management. Now THAT is an OC.

If last year was The Year Of The Apology (Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, The Pope.........and so on) then this year will be The Year Of Forgiveness.

I dont know if you should be calling him a "star in the future" but he is a decent looking prospect with far more upside than Corey 'Jaimoe Overrates Prospects Because He Thinks He Should Be An NHL Scout' Locke.

A part of me tells me I shouldnt be encouraging this but whatever. Bravo Kung. At least you elevated the goings-on within this board from boring to mildly entertaining. I've been dulled for a few weeks by the rest of you 'tards.

That's pricelessly stupid, especially if you were correct.

Hahahahahahhahahahahahaha. Totally a financial decision and not a footy one.

That was a really boring Junior A game with an exciting finish.

I'll be there for the clam strips!

Sorry buddy. I'm an idiot. Tonight sure didnt help. I didnt watch much of the game. I think I saw 4 minutes of play but in that, there was a 1-1 score and I turned my head. Maybe went to the bathroom or had a smoke? Next thing I know, it's 3-1. I started paying close attention again with 5 minutes to go but the Habs didnt seem to have strong legs so I turned my head away with 2:34 to go and didnt see anything else. None the less, if anyone wants to do a 20-1 Stanley Cup odds bet with me, send me a PM. I got the 50$ you need provided you guarantee my payout if I win. I will also be willing to lay down 30-1 odds on the Sens to win. Where's Vegas when you need it?

You know, Dinghy's prognostication aint looking so ridiculous in the long run. I laughed at it in my head at first but I have said the same thing for seemingly forever. If Ottawa could learn how to win, they would do some major damage in the post-season. Wasn't that the crux of Hasek's "one goal games" comment last season? These boys are facing some major adversity. We could end up seeing a great story here in Ottawa. I'm along for this ride, as always with this team. They've been an entertaining team since I lived in Kingston. Good luck boys. You deserve it. Edit to add: I just realized the redundant post I laid upon your eyes by reading above in this thread after I hit 'Submit'. Apologies to all.

How is this even up for debate? Oh yeah. Hippies.
