What isn't unconstitutional though is my right to get #rekt.

I'm booked for trips to bars tomorrow, Friday, and Sunday. The latter is a fishing trip. Drunk on a boat. Yes. Last night me and a group went out and celebrated a friend's 21st.

Monday as well is booked. Jazz club with 5 dollar jack and cokes yes please.

Ample time to see the better half and the piano this week and next.

I dig.

Hemingway was known for his short, blunt writing style.

True. He won a bet that he could write the shortest complete story in the world.

Sure it made sense. Lecavalier was moved to the 4th line because of an injury. It didn't make Lecavalier a 4th line player. It's an outlier. 4th line players normally don't have the skill set to play on the PP.


Let's look at the other side of the street. On how may good teams would Raffl be a top line LW?

Even a bad team can have some good players. But I understand your point. But what he is basically saying is that even if Richards was a 4th line player on the Kings, which is he isn't. If the quality of the roster should be taken into account for where a player plays on a bad team. Shouldn't it also be taken into account for where a player plays on a top team? And on a team that has won the Cup twice in the last 3 seasons?

It should -- again, I threw you a bone earlier, remember? Said that on some teams, he would be a Top 9 forward?

He would be on some, based on the roster strength or weakness. But I see a fourth-line forward, and that's what I saw last year

Can he turn it around? I don't know. Don't really think so. But I've been wrong before

I figured it was a way to make it more dramatic. A theatrical dramatic love dance of sort.

'I am' is supposedly the shortest sentence. Could it be that 'I do' is the longest?

His comment made no sense. VL played on the 4th line and PP last year. Raffl has spent a lot of time on the top line and rarely gets any PP time. There is no one who would take VL over Raffl. Well, no competent hockey person.

Lecavalier had a Cup of Coffee on the fourth line last season. So I ask you, what was Lecavalier's ice time when Lecavalier played on the fourth line last season and what kind of point production was he having?

Just because you see a 4th line forward, doesn't make him a 4th line forward.

No, it's the fact that he's a fourth center on the Kings that does that

I know, but thats him every night though. I bet he got so philosophical when he was plastered. All that dumb poop you say when you're drunk and he was probably writing best selling books.

That's not a fact. I've proven that it is incorrect. He is ranked 8th on the Kings in ES ice time among forwards. How is that possible if he is a 4th line player?

Yeah, I go on a twenty minute rant about Gagne being soft on a play after the Flyers blow a 2-0 in a parking lot...Old Ernest would have written a 300 page novel about the vagarities of hockey disguised as a tale of a sanitation worker
