I don't fly for work or anything, so I don't fly often. In my entire life I've only been stuck in the middle seat twice. Both times so my girlfriend could sit on the window. Selfish wench.

I'm in tight with the camps and flights girls... I'm at their computer when they're booking my flights so I pick preferred seating... it's the only way to roll

I don't care about crying kids.. as I said Im normally out.

One flight though there was what had to be the spawn of Satan who screamed loud enough to overpower my earphones at max volume... I wanted to throw her off the plane but she likely would have killed me with her demon powers.

Ever fly Virgin America? I flew that airline NYC-LAX twice and it is the single greatest flying experience I've ever had.

I stopped trying to catch up after 1.5 pages...people seriously believe the Leafs are going to have to retain salary and take back a bad contract for Kessel, or were the trolls making an early strike?

In Europe we have 'Ryanair'.
That's not even beer league level of airlines.

Starting to think that any airline with the direction "West" in the title is hot garbage.

Looking at you, Southwest.

They probably dont HAVE to take back a bad contract/retain salary, but i think the return would be higher if they did, like the Yandle deal. Retaining salary wouldn't be great because of the length of his deal, but taking a bad contract may make a team more likely to part with better pieces (1st rounders and good prospects) if they're in a stage where they think they can make a cup run. Taking a bad contract with 2-3 years left on it wouldn't hurt the leafs cause ideally it would be done by the time they start making progress.

I flew Northwest a few times and it was fine...

... then again, the layover in MSP was mainly spent in a brewpub, which helped

For this reason I'd be okay with that - but the suggestions that that's the only way you're able to move a guy who produces like he does is laughable. For all the out of shape comments, his durability is impressive too.

Yeah but the Kardashian/Kanye spawn is named that. So that pretty much eliminates anything good about them.

I think they might have to take back an older player they might not want that has a couple years left on a semi bad contract just so the trade can happen financially but as far as retaining salary? No, thats not gonna happen... maybe with Phaneuf but not Kessel
