There are a few other problems. -The jersey has a CCM tag. All NHL jerseys, other than the Canadiens (and maybe one or two others) now have Reekbok tags. There's also some weird effect going on with that CCM tag that I'm having trouble putting to words. -The stripe pattern along the sides looks like it was just drawn on using Paint or some other program. Notice how the seem across the bottom in the white section of the jersey disappears in the darker colors.

If we're going by the cartoon, Starscream was great, but I never did like the toy too much. The arms and the way the head/nose of the jet swung around always annoyed me. If I had to pick a favorite toy, I think I'd go with Grimlock.

Devastator is a must. That right there was the greatest toy of all time.

Obviously the character sucked, but I did like the toy. The yellow spoiler (is that what that thing was) was kickass. One other quick comment, when the inevitable Prime-Megatron fight happens, they need to bring back the "One will stand. One will fall." line.

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I watch that clip too. Stupid Hot Rod.

A friend of mine who writes for a college hockey magazine out here in Boston (Brian Sullivan, Hockey Magazine East) wrote this about Biega:

"You've got the touch... you've got the power!" They better use the same exact sound track. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4rgIRNyvzE...optimus%20prime

Get rid of those angled stripes and I could live with it. Hockey jerseys should be as simple as possible.

I know exactly what you were saying. My point is that no one says this stuff about any of those big market teams even though they do the same exact thing. It's not a shot at you, just a general comment.

I'm sick of reading comments like this. League-wide, every RFA who receives a qualifying offer is given the absolute minimum. If Philly or Detroit did this to one of their RFAs (and I guarantee that you will), no one would accuse them of being cheap, but since we're the small market, people just assume Darcy's a cheap bastard.

That's #1 on my list when I come home in August. My friends always laugh at me when I tell them how good beef on weck is. They have no idea what they're missing out on.

I'd rather see predictions like this instead of all the New England-Philadelphia predictions we got over the last two seasons.

Something on network television beat something on an obscure cable network?

Actually, in April, the month where it's supposed to rain, we got absolutely nothing. They kept talking on the news about how we were way below the average rainfall up to that point. I wish I could go back in time and kick each weather guy who said that.

I'll definitely watch it if I'm around the tv at that time. Now if only they'd pick up the original Transformers cartoons, my youth would be completely revisited.

Retirement is a serious option for Teppo. Don't forget about his heart issue. That will play a major role in his decision.

They were in rebuilding mode, so they traded a relatively high paid player who didn't fit into their future plans for a prospect. I don't see how that makes them stupid.

Jim Rome is on right now. They shut down the stream when any espn radio is on.

TSN regularly edits their stories without updating the time. They originally posted the story about McKee's health issue in the 9am hour, that's where the the time at the top of the article comes from.

Is it ok to assume that this guy is a forward? Obviously he's a marginal talent at best since he's stuck in the AHL. One possible reason for not wanting to go to Buffalo is that we are very deep at forward and this guy knows he would never get his break here. Yeah, that's not the reason, but its better to pretend that it is.

True. I think you summed up perfectly what I was trying to say.

-Basketball -Steven A Smith -Skip Bayless -Tim Kurkjian's lisp -That idiot that always says "Howzit" when he starts the show -The "say hello to my little friend" guy -Stuart Scott -Stuart Scott's eye -getting rid of Did you Know -basketball -What 2 Watch 4 -Budweiser Hot Seat -the fact that I can't NOT turn this stupid show on when I wake up

It really wasn't trial by fire. At that point, Tallinder was out and Lydman was in the box. Jillson had to see ice time on that penalty kill.

I think pretty much all fans need to thicken their skins a bit. I've been seeing so much of this whining about no respect a lot lately. These people need to start watching the damn game and get over themselves.
