I'd have beat Machette to that if I didn't have to stop and figure out if I spelled "initiative" correctly.

Holy hell, 227 bucks? What do you have that cost that much?
- SMS4016

three boxes (one of which is dvr) triple play plan. HBO, CINEMAX, SHOWTIME, STARZ, Center Ice...

The 4 movie channel were free originally because they royally (frank)ed me when I first got the service. I spent 19 hours on the phone with Comcast when I first got my cable in my new house. I was told originally not to get the phone line if I wouldnt use it because it costs more (even though that is complete bs, it saves you money)... My DVR didnt work even though it said it was recording.. I missed all of the Winter Classic event and the WJC. When I was explaining this to the guy on the phone he had the balls to ask me if people even really watch the WJC.. "I mean pro hockey is one thing, but are people really interested in that?" No ass hat, I am DVRing so that I cant delete it out of spite. Finally, after my wife tweeted them a pretty nasty comment, we were taken care of..... Until the $675 bill came in. Lets just say I wasnt too happy.

It's really nice to see him break out. I just wonder how much of that is becasue of pre-season finagling and the competition he's seeing.
I'll look forward to seeing if he continues this level once the season truly begins.

- FlyersGrace



Hard to say. But he definitely looks bigger and stronger to me. And seems more confident with the puck. I'm still going to expect some growing pains. But I think he's ready to take the next step.

I guess it's related, we are using Bubba Ho-Tep as a project name at work. So at quarterly reviews, we get to talk about Bubba Ho-Tep.

What do you guys think of the Letang signing?

I love him as a player, but as soon as next year they will be paying $25 million for JUST Crosby, Malkin and Letang.

And to be worth his contract, Giroux better put up 2011-12 numbers every year. Preferrably, I'd like him to be an annual 30/50 guy.

Stepan and Kadri scored at a 75 point pace last season and had to settle for two years at around $3 million.

BSchenn is going to have to have a great year if he wants a deal as good as they got.

All of a sudden Read's deal doesn't look as good.

To be fair, they're RFAs. They didn't have the leverage Read did.

That's cool, I tried Thundercats as yelling out if anyone had Mumm-Rah the undying would have friggin cracked me up. But sadly, no... That got shot down. But after they are labeled I am going to go on and put the pics of each char as the background...

Why is that? It's comparing players who are RFA's versus a player who was an impending UFA.

You have FAR too much time on your hands...
The pants are fine, but the heels? REALLY? Have you ever tried to wear stilletos all day? Give me a friggin break. I'd take them off about noon and use them as weapons.

Yo! I didn't dress her. Take it up with Boscov's. I just picked it because they were black and so less offensive.

Edit: and 70% off retail.

Not to mention Read plays well in all 3 zones and is great on special teams....

Offensive output isn't the only thing in the game.

Quite good. Only problem is TCN is not on HD on Fios. So those 5 games a season you only get low-def.
- FlyersGrace


And when those games are on TCN, I go out to a bar to watch them anyway.

Of the two, I'd rather have Toews. Just for his size, and I know it's early, but I think before it's all over him and Kane will have at least one more cup, should Chicago keep them both for most of their careers.

Put Claude on those teams, I am not sure that they win them. Completely subjective, but Toews had the opportunities and capitalized them. Granted they were great Blackhawk teams; I think anyone would have to give Toews the edge for that fact alone.

And what is with these team USA jerseys, looks more like United States of Rangers.

In 10-years time, cable subscriptions will seem as antiquated as long-distance phone service seems today... remember those $50-100 dollar phone calls to Cousin Jimmy? What a racket that was.

It'll be fun to watch some of these providers' internet business cannibalize their cable subscription business.
