Or if they didn't trade the 27th pick for Steve Eminger...Could have had Josi, or taken John Carlson

That draft was absurd... Voynov, Schultz, Josi, Brodie, Spurgeon, Hamonic... all taken outside of the 1st round. I'm sure there are even more top 4 dmen from that draft that haven't emerged yet.

Does anywhere exist that just carries an audio only broadcast of the games today?

Honestly, hindsight wasn't involved. I remember when the trade was announced, I was pissed. I was at a Pearl Jam concert and when I got a text from my buddy, Eddie Vedder & the boys could have left the stage and been replaced by New Kids On The Block and I would have been less pissed.

Given it was late 00's Pearl Jam, I'd have personally preferred NKOTB. But that's another topic.

But yes, that trade was absurd from day 1. I hated it then, and I hate it now. You can go back at drafts and pick out the hits and misses every year. But that trade was just terrible. Then again, it did allow us to acquire Matt Carle who scored the tying goal in game 82 versus the Rangers, so...

I don't think that anyone understood that trade, from the get go.

I remember those days... oh wait. I'm still in those days. 15 months and our little guy has terrible reflux, so he's yet to sleep through the night. I haven't had more than 3 hrs of continuous sleep in over a year.

Wow, that's terrible. Usually Su-Th, my wife stays up (she quit after our baby girl was born) and I do it F-Sa, but I fell asleep on the couch at about 9 and woke up at 12:30. Fed her at 1, couldn't get to sleep, so I put on the Sweden game. But I can't imagine 15 months man, that's rough. Our girl goes anywhere from 2-4 usually, and has had a few 6-8 hour naps if she gets really cranky during the day.

Yeah, we disregarded that advice (but swaddle the crap out of her for the first month and a half) and we've been okay, generally. Some good days, some bad days. I mean, they're ALL good, but some are much better than others.

Yeah I read it wrong...my bad.

Russians look flustered, lots of lone wolf attacks, but they have so much individual skill that Rask is having to come up big.

Russia has the puck possession thing down but that's not going to be enough.

bob keeps them in the game twice now.

The Finns look like they're playing a world cup soccer match with a one goal lead. They look content to let Russia possess the puck but keep them outside and away from the net
