Last of the famed "Muskoka Five" retires:

Although, Kaberle is over in Czech Extraligia.

Kubina was pretty good while he was at Tampa.

Here, not so much.

seriously, what is with the pens fans constantly trolling in here?

- hammarby31

I am confused as well. Have they no opponents they actually have recently played or will soon play to annoy?

The bold is what got me interested and hooked.

The Sheldon character is a riot.

Edit: And based on this, I'm not sure you're qualified to judge the quality of anything.

it's like after anything happens with the flyers- even a run-of-the-mill game, the first comment is from a pens fan. i don't get it.

I think Vinny has been skating and I think I read there is an outside change that Vinny plays during that road trip to Western Canada.

I'd prefer that he didn't and they just save him, but whatever.

- johndewar

Homer still says a few weeks, Vinny smiled yesterday and said he felt really good yesterday and hoped it would be sooner than that.

Not gonna get into specifics and how long it could or should take for him to get back out there, because frankly.. it could range greatly.

What I will do however is explain what he has going on... Spondylolisthesis is a condition in the lower back where you develop a stress fracture (not getting into the whole fx vs break thing again...) in a part of the vertebrae.

For sake of typing.. I'll just include this link which goes on to explain it pretty well..

Care to elaborate?... Starting with revelance?
- JoeRussomanno


Indiana Jones is completely irrevelent to the outcome of the movie... If Indy never goes looking for the Ark, the Nazi's find it, still take it to the island, open it and all die.

But your going to say, that Indy found the Ark. But if he never took the medalion the Nazi's would have it and would have been diggin in the right spot.

Finally you might say if it wasnt for Indy the Ark wouldnt have ended up in the "warehouse:. But considering he was sent to get the Ark for a Mesuem, this too was an epic fail.

As for Revelance... they brought up Indy, and I brought up the plot holes.

That sounds right.

I read something about an outside shot of playing in Edmonton on the 28th, and I thought that that seemed too soon.

I have watched it twice, and was not a fan. Not the worst show in the history of television, but it's bad. It's nothing but a constant laugh track, and it's not funny.

Secondly, the intercepted Nazi transmission was to acquire Abner Ravenwood, so chances are they find Marion, although Indy probably expedites their progress.

I like the BBT. Its a good show. However, I'm pretty much into everything they are, so everything they do to funny to me. And I love the cameos of Will Wheaton!

Well, if he just took weak wristers from his own blue line without skating, he'd probably pot 2 against Edmonton.

They love us because we're awesome.

On the other hand we're still 3 games UNDER .500. Can we win 4 of the next 5 and get even?

Hockey .500 is points-based since the exclusion of ties and the inclusion of 3-point games. To me, at least.

Indiana Jones' ultimately unnecessary involvement in the Ark events isn't a plot hole. A plot hole implies a gap in logic. Being irrelevant, so to speak, isn't a gap in logic. Anyways, it's not a story about being relevant or whatever. It's about being exciting and shooting people (particularly nazis)!

Also, Big Bang Theory sucks.

The last ones I really liked were 30 Rock and The Office. Right now, it's probably Modern Family.

Took me about 3-4 watchings of reruns to realize that is a real person. But if you asked me now I couldn't tell you what show/movie he's famous for without Googling. And really, I don't even care enough to do it.

Do you think they play the laugh track on set while they're recording, or do they sit in awkward silence and just imagine it?

That is true, it's not a plot hole. However, they never did explain how he knew that 1) the Ark was going to unleash monster ghosts and 2) why closing your eyes saves you.
