I'm doing well

just made supper. that there are tears is how you know it’s good.

haven’t the foggiest who we’re targeting. I don’t follow the junior leagues.

also, pretty excited about re-signing Brewer for a pay cut.

Supposedly that is what Clark of the Rangers is going in with… just looking at what is on the board. Hoping we go for a forward.

the options are opening night (Friday 10/7)

Tuesday 11/1, and Saturday 3/3. I can hit all of them, although the latter two are better. I think Cassie will have an easier time with the weekend.

Sat 3/3 sounds good to me. I imagine it would work better for Cassie, but because my “weekends” shift around every 4 weeks, I have no idea what days off I’ll have then. So I’ll just requests vacation at the first of the year. If it turns out I’m already off, no harm done.

contract may be a hair long, but it’s my understanding that hockey players staying strong into their mid-30s is kinda the norm. It finishes around his 36th birthday, so that’s not too bad, is it? overall, I like the move. he was a huge (early) start to upgrading the defense

The Philly newspapers

are buzzing with this rumored moved for Stamkos. Apparently Holmgren wants to bring in a franchise guy and might be willing to part with Giroux AND JVR for Stammer.

The disconnect between Stamkos’/Yzerman’s rhetoric on contract discussions and apparent progress is troubling. I’m worried we’re at an impasse that neither side wants to acknowledge…

Right.

I thought you were being serious in that question. I retract my comment. Major apologies. I was being a douchebag.

As for why no arb, maybe it’s because Stammer and Yzerman are actually close, just like they’ve been telling the media. And even if they aren’t, there is still a week before July 1st. Plenty of time to make a deal or go to arb if necessary. JM said himself that he was busy with things besides Stamkos. And Brewer (same agent as Stammer) said he would be very surprised if Stammer didn’t resign before July 1st.

Yes, he’s been quite confident about the deal for over a month. I think you have to take player media quotes, in contract negotiations, with a grain of salt.

So I got into a couple of arguments with people earlier today about this, so I thought I’d ask here. Do you think that a team’s legacy (name, banners, trophies, records, etc.) are owned by the city they play in, or by the franchise itself even after they move? Any thoughts?

They are owned by the Franchise unless the franchise elects to change for the city. I mean, the St. Louis Rams taking the LA Rams legacy means they didn’t shed it. The Indianapoilis Colts taking the Baltimore Colts heritage is another example.

But the NHL changes are usually very VERY profound. So, seeing the Avs honor the Nordiques traditions would seem odd. Though I could see Dallas holding fast to the North Stars history because their change in idenity doesn’t seem so profound.

no, other uneven numbers

if you go with four divisions, two have 7 teams and two have 8. right now, everything is nice and even. although you’re right that the most likely new EC teams don’t fit in the SE. Bring back the Thrashers! relocate Winnipeg!

Not according to Wikipedia (which is where I got this from)

Tennessee whiskey is Straight Bourbon Whiskey produced in the state of Tennessee.12 This definition is legally established under the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which states that Tennessee whiskey is “a straight Bourbon Whiskey authorized to be produced only in the State of Tennessee”,1 and the law of Canada, which states that Tennessee whiskey must be “a straight Bourbon whisky produced in the State of Tennessee”.2

Canadians generally tend to be of the opinion that religion’s a private matter that shouldn’t be aired in mixed company. So anything overly religious tends to make them uncomfortable, since they consider that to be the rudest form of bad manners. The Northwest tends to be that way as well, despite being fairly religious – you just don’t talk about it outside of family, close friends, and the people you go to church with. You just don’t, unless you want to offend people.

there was a USA/Panama rematch a couple days ago that the US actually won.

And USA/Mexico is our biggest rivalry. This is the third time in a row that it’s been the championship match of the Gold Cup (USA won in ’07, Mexico in ’09)

I saw the one that Panama won. The US played like crap in that one. And I do remember that Mexico is the big rival.

the rematch came in the semifinals

USA won 1-0. Freddy Adu made his first appearance in two years and sent in a nice ball to Donovan, who passed it through the defender’s legs to Dempsey on the back post. ’twas lovely. Panama played admirably though.

Mexico won the other semi against Honduras 2-0 in OT. so it should be a good one tomorrow.

Ah... should be a good crowd then. Hope to see lots of US flags in attendance.

Or rather lots of folks waving US flags…

I’m glad they didn’t go with Rocco. I thought that was too predictible.

All right, we're done here

I’ll put up a fan-shot as an open thread for day 2 of the draft. It’s not going to be a live thread like this was.

Thanks to everyone who came out tonight.
