I don't know who the Donnas are.

Hayley's voice is revolutionary.

Relax.

What I mean is ya know that stereotypical rock/punk angsty girl lead singer voice? You know what I'm talking about. She basically put that on the map. Her and Avril Lavigne. Hayley's voice is really good, actually. Can't say I'm a huge Paramore fan, but some of my friends like them, and I don't female dog when they put Paramore on. That's a huge compliment for me. The only bigger compliment that comes from me music wise is actually saying "This is good great etc"

Halestorm is horrendous. Awful sound...they're trying to be badass and angry like Breaking Benjamin, while trying so hard to be THAT band...the cool band with the girl lead singer....basically, theyre trying to make themselves out to be a mix of Breaking Benjamin and Heart, but they just sound stupid.

Also, someone I really really hate listens to them. Favorite band. So, naturally, Halestorm sucks.

The Donnas are a more "punk" all-girl band. They had that song "Take It Off" that was a hit for a while.

Also, the fact that you call Halestorm a band that tries too hard, but then give Avril Lavigne credit for being anything other than a record label-created "thing" frightens me.

Yes, they follow the "lets put a blindfold on and throw darts at the wall and see what it hits" method of moderation.

No kidding. I quote exactly what a mod told me in the past and I got banned, but most of the sly sarcasm from other people slipped by..

i don't. some guys just don't make it. some guys do. logic isn't always involved. very little about the entire nhl is logical. plenty of guys never get past the A, and they're not making anywhere near 600k, and they're better hockey players than rosehill.

i'm done. not going to have an all day discussion about the merits of rosehill.

If you're good enough, you make it. If you're not, you don't. Rosehill has been good enough to play Hockey professionally for 6 years, and earned 3.5M to do so. Something to be said about that.

I'll say this: I've played against guys who were drafted by NHL teams and some that played in the AHL. In a good men's league, there are often guys better than them. In the league I played in, some of the guys off the street put those guys to shame.

Don't get me wrong, I never said she was good. Amd your point is valid.

But alot of bands with front ladies can probably trace their sound back to her, and Hayley. That's what I'm getting at.

Hayley's range is pretty crazy. Like I said, I enjoy her singing.

You know who else has an amazing voice is that chick from Evanescence. You know the refrain (THAT'S A JOKE, SON) by now- not really a big Evanescence fan, but boy she has pipes

Alexei Kovalev has retired. We may never see another player take a 6-minute shift.

Evanescence, I liked at first, but every song kinda blends together for me. Avril, voice or not, will never get anything but disdain from me.

I agree on both accounts.

Please understand that I'm not saying Avril is good, just that she put a different sound out there that seemed to stick

And speaking of which, is that a yearly thing? If so, shouldn't you be packing, getting ready to lead us to glory again?

Saying Avril Lavigne has a sound that has stuck despite her lack of being anything close to "good" is kinda like saying, "Well, sure Hitler committed mass genocide, but he was a snazzy dresser."

I just....no.

Bill, the original article about the Giroux incident that was making the rounds yesterday mentioned a source claimed Giroux will need off season surgery beneath the picture in the article.

Have you heard any details about this or could this be a left over tag line from a couple seasons ago?
