He's been very, VERY good. Little fluky penalty shot goal (well, not fluky, but lucky) but overall, looks like a very good 2-way defenseman.

oh i wouldnt disagree with you on the penalty shot being a tad lucky. (that being said, i have similar feelings about the giroux goal as well haha) but still. i dont bank on him needing to make penalty shots a regular part of his game. im trying my hardest to temper expectations until the sample size becomes larger, but each game i am becoming more and more like a kid on christmas.

His ring tone is Robert Plant's yell at the beginning of Immigrant Song

I prefer Daltrey's yell in My Generation.

I think he'll suffer when the top-3 get healthy and Engelland comes back. I don't get why they played him over Despres last year, and I won't get it when he plays over any of the kids this year.

Favorite metal band of all time. Just wished I had gotten into them earlier. I saw them last time they came to Philly and it was great.
- jmatchett383

ill admit my metal lust runs a tad more mainstream. will always be a devoted maiden fan.

two more other big ones for me that reached decent levels of exposure i guess you could say but nothing close to say maiden media recognition wise. queensryche and helloween

That's because The Who > Led Zeppelin.

Led Zeppelin are a good band. That's about it.

I believe you're thinking of "Won't Get Fooled Again", but yes, I agree for pure yell that is better.

However the lyrics to Immigrant Song fit the narrative. Plant was a huge fan of Nordic mythology as well as Tolkienn.

oh i totally agree. although i think it will be despres that gets royally Richarded. yet a (frank)ing gain. for all of the maatta blushing going on. despres is quietly showing that he literally has the entire package.

How about Escape from LA? Having not seen New York, I'll say LA is better because it has Bruce Campbell.

I can't pick one. They're both beautiful.

Bruce Richardenson in Number of the Beast is the best rock scream, imo.

I love Maiden and early 70s Sabbath

it appears lately he is doing his best to become the penguins verson of rinaldo. i cannot say i approve in the slightest. although hey if rinaldo could pop in 40 goals while still being a goon there would likely be a statute of him on every street corner in this town
- stayinthefnnet

You miss the point.
Well when your paid 5M per (Neal) and your brought in to receive passes from Malkin and shoot the puck, I don't see the logic in being a coward who does dirty plays and doesn't back it up with a fight. He goes away to the bench like a coward.

On the other hand, Rinaldo (750k) is here so bang bodies, bring out energy. If he hits everything that moves (his role, his job) he elevates the chances of him engaging in fights, dirty play, etc that may result in suspensions.

Neal is a top line guy and Rinaldo is 4th line guy. Neal, has no business doing the things he does (Couturier, Giroux, Marchand) and I hope every grinder, goon and fighter on any team in this league whack him every time they have a chance.

I like both. Zeppelin stole quit a bit more-and definitely more blatantly-Than the Who, but both were awesome bands, IMO

our virtual friendship was just dealt a devastating blow. and im not even like a staunch ledzep guy.

I do nitpick some movies...like The Hunt for Red October drove me nuts because of the lack of realistic conversation between the guys on the USS Dallas ( "Seaman" Jones was a 2nd class petty officer and would have been called ST2 Jones or Petty officer Jones...and the COB, or chief Of The Boat, is the most experienced enlisted man onboard the sub...he sure as Hell doesn't need to have a "Crazy Ivan" explained to him.

Tv/Movie depictions of military settings are almost all universally unrealistic and dramatized... only really good one I can think of is Generation Kill... god I love that series.

They are phenominal live, too.

You and me, we'll get along just fine.

Yup 2 great bands, but for pure chops, I'll take Rush over either

True, but that kind of stuff should have been easy to nail.

Age has not caught up with them. Bruce still leaps around and screams just as well as he ever has. I'll see them everytime they come to town.

I'll listen to Rush any time, any where. I like so many different kinds of stuff....pretty much as long as it's not EDM, I can listen to it.

nah joey belladonna in anthrax was better or even the front man for overkill

please dont totally misconstrue what im saying either. in no way do i like what he is doing. its beyond stupid. i dont know why he feels the need to be some sort of pseudo tough guy all of a sudden. 1. i dont like that aspect from any player, be you a franchise cornerstone or some career echl goon. 2. just from a practical standpoint. one of the games premier snipers sitting in the box does his team no good.

do you really think salaries have a lot of relevancy in this conversation? i wouldnt like what neals doing if he made 8M or peanuts. it doesnt change the result. im all ears if youd like to try to make some sort of comparison or point, but i really dont think we are in much disagreement,

I saw them in 1991 or so-Anthrax opening- and then saw them again, I guess around 2008 or so, and it was awesome.

Agreed. I saw them on their last tour. It was so hot that I was getting tired, and those dudes (especially Bruce) were running around like crazy.
