My kids bug us all the time for a dog, but fortunetly 1 of the few things the wife & I agree on is no pets. Not until MAYBE the girls are 14, 15 & old enough to at least take on some of the responsibility of taking care of it.

I'm rooting for the Halifax guy.

You might have to take this up with Tom Burton, he is our resident expert on refs.

Totally agree. My kids are almost 9, and almost 11 (so...8 and 10) and they sear up and down that they'll do everything. I begged for a dog when I was 13 and I did....nothing. Not happening.

Why would French Canadian officials be a good thing for the Rangers? Wouldn't it be the opposite?

Tom, what say you?

Then a few years, they would be off to college, and you would be stuck with the dog/cat/komona dragon, etc., and until said animal gets old and dies.

Its hard enough dealing w children, now we're gonna throw an animal into the mix?

One thing I will say, it can be annoying sometimes from other teams fans perspective, but I wish MSG fans had 1/2 the passion of the Bell Centre

It's the reverse effect. They want to make sure that they aren't suspected of being pro-Habs.

Now that might be pretty cool. Or a pet tiger, that Shiva looks so friendly.

Lol. Good call.
From what I've seen in this series so far, being the ref just means you get the best seat in the house. I've termed it Negligent Officiating and at some point it's going to get someone hurt.

Oh and get this - it sheds, it poops, it pisses and it drools everywhere. And just for fun, it costs a lot of money.

Where do I sign up???

That's one certainty tonight, it will be nice & LOUD again.

It appears that there are complaints in every series about the officiating. Guess that's normal, but they seem to have put the whistles away, save for trips and high sticks.

I would still rather pay for rabies shots over college.

To start, it will be insane. My brother is going. Wish I could. Instead, I'll shuffle my way through Penn Station with my head down, so as not to see all the blue sweaters.

I may have told you guys this, but when my kids were younger, we were at the zoo in the Lion area. There was a zoo keeper there, and I asked here where the Lions came from. You know what the answer was? Crack houses in Detroit. I poop you not. Apparently, there is a pretty significant black market where Lions, Tigers and other exotic animals can be acquired.

So, if you are ever planning on not paying the crack dealer, think twice.

Guy in NYC had a leopard or something. People are dumb.

Those are the ones I cheer when they get eaten. Like the person who jumps the wall to pet the nice fluffy Polar Bear.

I have no problem with "letting them play", but in our series at least there has been a LOT of liberties taken - both ways. This is not a whining about it being one-sided. Fairly vicious hacks, head contact, blatant interference...
