Nathan Horton and Joffrey Lupul both failed medical today, per Lou Lamoriello.

Nylander gets 6 because of Pastrnak.
Marner gets 6 because of Nylander
Matthews gets 9 because of McDavid.

He's twice the player of Matthews apparently (we're doing Matthews a favour here).

my guess is 6.5/7/8.5.

all 6-7 years.

Wow - 30 Jewel movement, nice. Terrific piece of watchmaking for sure.

I have two IWC's both older - I inherited an old gold watch from my dad - calibre 89 and I have a 70's oddball - an electric. The one I am looking at buying is an ingenieur calibre 8542.

Apple 3 watch looks kinda cool.

what a Richard.

the hassle and the time it takes out of your day could be just as bad as the money it cost to replace (assuming you have apple care on the phone). Otherwise not so much

- RickJames77


yes I agree on the hassle - I did have apple care - the biggest piss off is that I will end up the bad guy here. I phoned the kid's old man this morning and told him what a sh!t thing his kid did, and I'm willing to bet he will call the school to complain about me - even though I was very civil with him.

My first expensive watch was a TAG. It was a diving watch - went diving in Maui and noticed droplets under the crystal. Took it back when I got home and traded it in for a Submariner.

Sounds strange. Never heard that one before...? You bought it in Istanbul?

On the contrary had to deal with replacing my 13 year old's broken i-phone. (frank)ing waiting at an apple store for service sucks large. On the plus, decided to buy myself a watch and even told the wife about it.

I bought my kid an Apple 2, - Watch collecting can get addictive and expensive. I like the hand crafted Swiss movements over gadgets.

But in all seriousness, I wouldn't worry too much about that phone call.

If the kid in question is a POS, the school already knows he is a POS.

I collect pint glasses from microbrewers around the world.

I'm not saying my hobby is better than your hobby, but...

Just kidding. What's good for you is good for you.

They know he's a POS for sure, but they can't do too much, they collect $40 K a year of tuition between the kid and his younger brother.

Yeah maybe. I doubt Dermott makes the team this year (possibly around Feb time).

Same as we were last year except Hainsey in for Hunwick.

Give Dermott, Borgman, Rosen (more) time in the AHL

Actually a friend of mine collects beer bottles - has an amazing collection - not my thing but still find it cool. Artwork on some old labels is pretty good.

Bringing him in on pto doesn't mean much, maybe showing him some favour for being a leaf previous to see him he's still got it or showcase for other teams.

But if he's beat out in camp and they still bring in I'm gonna be pretty upset.

Yup.

My brother is a teacher.

Caught a kid handing in an essay that he downloaded from the internet. 100% guilty - don't even bother trying to deny it.

But the kid is one of 4 brothers at the school, and the family makes sizable donations outside of tuition.

So my brother first had a meeting with the headmaster to figure out what the punishment would be...
