Based on this post, I'm just going to assume that someone finally posted a picture of Peter Frampton.

People need to get over themselves. It's just a game. No one shot your dog. I skimmed through the clip because I can only stand so much of that type of lunacy, but it sounded a bit like a performance to me. Now it's posted online and in some places people have dug up the kid's twitter account. Mission accomplished.

He should definitely get a good number of games while up here. I can live with Hutton getting the next game but then Johansson getting the second one. If he's up to the task, the playing time will snowball from there.

I don't think they hesitated for even a second when making that callup. Hammond only gets it if it's a day or two.

He was here for one season, spending the entire year on IR. Was there really all that much opportunity to give him more and meaningful time in that following training camp?

His kill count is off the charts.

Or not. Apparently they decided to pump the breaks due to Kobe Bryant.

What the hell...

It reminds me of that Beetles classic "I seen her standing there".

Seen I think this may be the one that makes me cringe the most, given that it is never used properly.

Let's face it, the funeral is far more for you and any other family/friends who would be there than it is your father. As taro said, if you want to be there, go. Sorry for your loss.

That would convince me to go.

I'm not sure I want to know how Hannah Davis qualified as pitcher.

I hear that Adam Sandler has a bunch of netflix exclusive movies...

Can we please just cut to the chase already and create the "shoot yourself in the head" challenge? The herd could use a good thinning.

So in his wiki it says he recorded 14.5 sacks in 1980, but the league didn't officially track them until 1982. This is interesting. I kind of want to figure it out, but I'm sure it'll wind up being the typical wikipedia error.

Where's that second season with 14.5 sacks?

Apparently the "Robitalle" picture is not from this season. I did some digging over on sabrespace and the board ads in that picture do not match anything from this season. So someone's being a bit disingenuous trying to pin both of those pictures as one act. The Andreychuk typo is bad, but let's face it, it's not the first or the last time that we'll see a screwed up name plate in any of the pro sports. It's bad, but it's not "this organization is inept" bad. The internet is littered with countless examples from over the years. My guess is the next one we'll see is "they poured me a blue instead of a blue light, this organization sucks!"

I think this is officially the end of the line for me. I don't play enough anymore, there aren't any currently ongoing series that I'm interested, so it's not worth the money to me anymore. The backward compatibility is nice (if they don't drop it last second like they did with the last few), but I have a 2,3 and 4 in my house, so I can already play any of the old stuff.

Without reading the story, I'm just going to assume yes.

How many actually carry the full 23 though? It's always seemed to me like most teams will go with 22, not have a 3rd guy rot away in the pressbox, all while banking a little extra cap space. I would look at rosters right now, but the break makes that pointless. I'd say Ullmark is the kind of guy who could work well in a platoon. Based on his career, Hutton should be too, which is what they were hoping for and it really wasn't all that unreasonable. But why has this guy fallen off a cliff? Maybe it's just age, but there really isn't all that much wear on those tires.

Detroit won the Cup in his second year in their front office. Does he really get all that much credit for that? Holland had been running the show for so long and most of the pieces were already in place. He then joined the Lightning in 2010. They won the Cup in 2004. But yeah, I realize what you're trying to say. He may very well be the guy who can right that ship, but it's not going to happen over night. They're in a far worse position than the team he inherited in Tampa. That team already had many of their key pieces including Stamkos, Hedman, and the older but still useful guys like St. Louis and Lecavalier. He has nothing of the sort in Detroit. I'll also be curious to see if he is able to sign guys to anywhere near as cap friendly contracts now that he has to deal with a state income tax again and a far less desirable location. He may very well get the job done, but I don't think he's the guaranteed home run GM signing that some make him out to be.

They're in pretty rough shape. I'd be worried about that being a team that is two coaching hires away.

I can't imagine there's anything that could stop Seattle from hiring him and putting him on the payroll right now. Also, I don't know how much time was left on his contract, but as of today he's being paid to sit on the couch. He might enjoy the down time and be content with waiting. Hynes and DeBoer didn't, but everyone's different. I guess it depends on which job becomes available. If someone like Ottawa or Detroit comes calling, I'm letting that call go to voice mail.

And now watch as Gallant winds up being the head coach in Seattle.
