how about Mezz and Laughton and a #2 for Carolina's #1
- vejim


You gotta be kidding. There's no guarantee Carolina's #1 pick this year would be better than Laughton.

There's a theory that they outlawed jersey tucking this year as a precursor to selling ad space.

Ads on the boards is bad.
Ads on the ice is horrible.
Ads on jerseys would be infuriatingly horrible. If I wanted to watch Euro hockey I'd watch Euro hockey.

It's coming, like it or not. I'll probably forgo pro sports altogether when I get old(er) and crotchety(ier).

I don't care about ads on the ice or the boards. I'm old enough to remember when the ice and the boards didn't have them and frankly, I don't even notice them anymore.

Myself, I draw the line at ads on the jerseys and any gear a fan might buy, because I find it kind of weird to wear a jersey with a bunch of ads stitched to it (*looks at soccer fans*).

It's like I'd be paying a bunch of money to be a walking billboard for companies I don't give a damn about.

I don't like the ads they superimpose behind the net on TV sometimes. Very distracting.

I remember when I first saw it and thought. "Wow, that kind of sucks for those people sitting behind the net. It's bad enough they have to look through that screen."

Then I got it.

Congrats!

My son has his evaluation skate tonight. It'll be fun finding out what team he's on, etc. in the coming days.

- Flyskippy

I wish him all the luck in the world.

After being on a playoff team last season my son is on, in my opinion, the worst team in the DVHL, playing over their collective heads at AA.

No clue. Univ of DE football is the Blue Hens. Which boggles the mind.
No clue as to the hockey though. I should go watch. I don't.

I want to be drunk enough to be able to bang on the glass all the time... In the rink out of the rink, banging on the glass...

The Blue Hens are in my son's league and play at the University. The Delaware Ducks, also in my son's league, play at "The Pond."

Both super close to my house. I've never been to either. So sad.
If you are ever in that neck of the woods you should let me know!

double game day. never seen one of these before. odd to say the least.

I'm pretty sure this happened more then a couple times. Maybe not last season, but the season before. Not that uncommon in pre-season with so many players looking to make the team.
