Close. That's an Uruk-hai or Half-orc (per the movie).

I'm sure you would have said it too.

July is nearing it's end. Has Andrej Meszaros been clearly to play yet?

Shouldn't that say, July is nearing it's end. Has Andrej Meszaros been hurt yet?

Not cool!

If you hadn't said it first, probably.

Dammit. I was hoping he would re-up long term.

Dominoes, or should I say, Домино

I wanna check out the conjuring but with my lack of childcare it's hard to get to the theaters (dont like leaving my wife home for things like that) so ill check it out on blu-ray/pppv. I just hope no more evil deads are made, they can't capture the magic with the original or movie makers just don't have the uh back bone to do it. Either way I don't know but the reboot will be out of existence once to me once I pay my cable bill next month
:lol
Edit: hail to the king, baby!

Word on the street is that there will be 3 more. AOD2/ED4, a sequel to the new one, and a tie-in of some sort.

It's the least North America could do for Russia.

After all.....they gave us Nik Zherdev.

Quick contract question:
Last year, Mike Knuble had signed a contract (tryout contract) with Grand Rapids of the AHL. Just to repeat that, he'd signed with Grand Rapids, not with the Detroit Red Wings. My question is whether or not an AHL team can sign a player independent of the NHL parent club. In other words, could the Phantoms sign a player like Denis Hamel to an AHL contract and not have that count against the 50 contract limit? I know that certain minor league baseball teams sign players to minor league deals, but I'm not sure if baseball had any rules at all about roster limits/contracts/steroids/etc.

I think that's the type of contract Carsen Chubak signed with the Phantoms: http://articles.philly.co...ustafsson-johnny-gaudreau

Getting bothered by anything Marcus Hayes writes is sort of like getting mad at brain damaged three year old for breaking a vase that was left on the floor. He's just a braying jackass who missed the WIP boat and is limited to a newspaper outlet and the awful Barkann hosted show that tries to be Philly's version of Skip Bayless and Stephen A Smith's yellfest on ESPN.

Parent is beloved, 40 years after the first Stanley Cup. People recognize him where ever he goes. They love him, and he returns the feeling.

Yo Hammer, instead of putzing around playing hockey in Isreal, shouldn't you be getting the Canucks ready for the season

Congrats, man!

not much of a market for a 41 year old, 5'9" goalie...

thanks

Yes. For instance, several years ago the Flyers signed Brian Boucher to the Phantoms on an AHL contract. He later signed an NHL contract with the San Jose Sharks that season.

Based on NHL talk over the past 20 years or so, doesn't that gold medal make you 6'1" now?

CLP

in all seriousness - perfectly legal, but i made them too big. based on how i had the boot portion made, i thought they would sit lower. i'm in touch with Brian's to see if they can actually reconstruct them and remove some off the top. if they can't, i'll probably sell the whole set and have new ones made.

Boy, what a jerk

good lord, i'll kill to be 6'0", let alone 6'1". the medal is so heavy, i think i'm 5'7" now.

So he doesn't count against the 50 contract limit, but at the same time, he cannot be called up to the Flyers, correct?

I think so.

His numbers don't appear on Capgeek, for example.

Totally forgot about this.
