Yup. Yeah, because of lack of situational awareness the player will get creamed. Go behind the net, touch up and think twice. You're asking the other player to stop on a dime the sec the goal light is lit. 25mph to 0 in a sec. Look.. I respect the hustle, but not wanton reckless abandonment... He misjudged, sure he got the goal. Still misjudged how fast the other player was going to the body which had the puck a second before. Some times you win and come out unscathed, some times you win and get creamed. Suck it up buttercup...

Yeah there was. You're once again wrong. Confusing the hit with being cute. Both were hustling to get the puck. Evans got the puck, due to his superior hustle, that ain't the cute part. The cute part was he jammed it in right in the middle of the hammer lane. He got smeared because a semi doing 70 can't stop the split sec the goal light is lit. The whole Jets backcheck. I guess he misjudged. But he scored!

Yeah it was. A wrap-around is a dangle. He got cute and ran into a Mack truck playing in the middle of the road. By definition it is a dangle: Dangle: when a player is a deke (or decoy) by making moves to fake out the goalie or opposing player; also used to describe the act of stick-handling. Definitely a wrap-around is a fake or a deke. What planet you on? deke /dฤk/ Learn to pronounce ICE HOCKEY noun a deceptive movement or feint that induces an opponent to move out of position. verb draw (a player) out of position by performing a deke. "four minutes into the third period, Hull scored his 70th goal of the season, deking a Flyer defenseman to the ice"

Babies. Little bit of duct tape and get that plane in the air! We got money to make! Just a scratch.

Yeah. What's he gonna do? Brace for impact is all he can do. Scheifele did a better job. Again, like two in jousting match. Don't play in the middle of the road, you won't get hit by a car. Scheifele has just as much right to be there... What's he supposed to do? Turtle up? That's when a player gets hurt. Evans was going for the net, Scheifele, going for, the player with the puck. ***** happens. If You're the puck carrier, brace for impact or don't dangle.

I don't go rollerblading in the middle of the road either and then complain when I get hit by a car. He wrapped around, that's like playing in the middle of the road. Evans took the upper hand in the scoring chance, but not the hit. Clean, heavy hit is the result. Should Scheifele just quit on the play? Give up? He can't stop on the dime. This is like two jousting on horseback, Scheifele stayed mounted on his horse. Evans scored, but almost got killed doing it.

NHL is such a bizarre bush league. ๐ That will teach a team for being bad. Stay bad! Nothing harkens back to the day when The Habs had exclusive rights to players coming out of Quebec. It's always been a league where the rich get richer and the poor have step out of the gutter with one skate holding them down. You don't wanna legitimately turn bad in this league, because there you'll stay, for good. Look what Edmonton has done with all their #1s. Nothing.

What annoys you most? Hand or head gesticulation

You're nuts. ๐๐ Neither. ๐ Don't take anything personally. Each individual has a unique worldview that alters their own perceptions, and that the actions and beliefs of a person is a projection of their own personal reality. -
Yup. Locality pay. We gotta raise when we switched from Rock Island to Chicago a year ago... Our Wage Grade (Not GS) is based on local industry. Funny... We were first based out of Chicago before 1979. In 1979, industry had higher wages in Quad Cities and Peoria (Deere, Moline & Caterpillar, Peoria) than Chicago... So when they moved to Rock Island as HQ, we got a raise then too. Today, last year opposite when we moved back to Chicago... Got another raise for locality...

I was reading that he left "McHale Navy" so he could do a part in the movie: "The Sand Pebbles" (1966) -
Maybe for the small and intermediate markets. But the big markets, hell no! Yet... Concrete and asphalt = $$$$ BIG $$$$$ Still have to supply areas by truck. Also, weren't the first interstates created for national defense or safety... So they claimed under Eisenhower. They can land, take off planes on them if needed too???

I think you're wrong but will entertain your fancy... Maybe. But you must mean "toddler neck roll"... Look at Pic w/mother. There's no collar there.. That ain't a Polo, especially for that era long-sleeved and thick material. Then it's a cross between a rugby (thick) shirt-henley... Which is a: "River Driver" shirt? ๐๐คฃ Which L.L.Bean makes, BUT still a Henley: ๐๐คฃ -
Have you gotten your tax refund back?
ExiledInIllinois replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in Off the Wall
Oh! Ok... Yeah... Direct Deposit is there in under a week with Fed. State about 2 weeks. I would think with so little Snail๐Mail now, you'd be more ripe for identity theft, etc... Going electronic seems actually safer with me since it's where the masses are! IMO... -
Dam? Anybody say dam! Dams is my biz! ๐... Is this the dam? https://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/wm7PR6_Court_Street_Dam_Genesee_River_Rochester_NY We use sector gates here! In fact the gates in Rochester, NY were built here! I am not sure they can get rid of that dam so easily... Unless you like higher gas & electric prices? Hydro? That's "green" energy, right? "The Court Street Dam functions as a water-control structure for the lower Genesee River to regulate water levels in the nearby Erie Barge Canal during navigation season and to furnish water for the Rochester Gas and Electric hydroelectric plant at the west end of the dam." Maybe they should just close down the Erie Canal... It's only for pleasure and recreational use... RG&E can come up with another plan? Let me talk to legal counsel first, @BringBackFergy... Now about the Lower Falls. How about bussing in some bears, Install a camera then we can watch them feed. I GOT the perfect project manager for the job! Hey @Beerball , you up... Start working that resume...

City Fathers were always elites in a labor town... BFLo is the city that told Henry Ford to get *****-ed.. He went on to build his Highland Park & River Rouge plant in Detroit. Buggy whips were up and coming in BFLo! ๐๐... Same old BFLo... "Buffalo could have been Detroit," [Jim] Sandoro said of Buffalo's automotive past. "Henry Ford came here in the early 1900s for an auto show. Ford wanted to build a major assembly plant here, but the city fathers didn't want to give him any incentives, so he went elsewhere."
