I’d like to thank the academy, all my friends here on BSH, my agent and my manager. Also, I would like to thank my uncles and my mother for teaching me to love the sport of hockey, without them I wouldn’t even be on this site. Thank you! You like me, you really like me!

I know, right? It’s really amazing how it can be so funny all the time. They do great work.

That article is hilarious. Just puts a lot of humor into my day.
Unfortunately everything else except the From the Rink article are blocked here so I have to wait until I get home to see the top saves (unless somebody has the direct link, it may work), so I’ll be behind on the Flyers news.

Thanks!!! The link worked but unfortunately due to some kind of setting I can’t view the video, so I’ll just do it when I get home. Thanks for giving me the link though, I wish it worked.
It’s stupid, I can go to Youtube and see what I want and Hulu works, but Yahoo and all the videos on the sports websites don’t work…. ahh oh well.

Is the player in the middle Mr. Shjon “You traded me for Keith friggin’ Jones?!” Podein?

Nevermind, just saw the Lightning bolt on their shoulders. Not Shjon. Looks like him though.

Carter, Leighton, and a second-round pick (of course) to the Phillies for Ruiz and Werth. Chooch can goaltend and fire breakout passes a la Hextall. Werth can be a streaky scorer just like Carter. It’s win-win.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
Indeed one of the few that can rival Hartnell

I took this quiz at work today…you know, instead of working. It made me realize I have an AWFUL memory, since I missed 3 teams, one of which beat us in the SCF a few months ago.
enjoy!

That was pretty good. I got it done with 2 minutes left, and I was stuck for a minute because I couldn’t think of the Sharks!!!!
I stumbled upon this one which was fun but hard!!

I got it done in just over 2 minutes. I was stuck with the Predators.

Being a total dullard, it took me almost 40 seconds to figure out that it wasnt accepting my answers because I was naming the city also…I ran out of time trying to remember Ottawa

Naming every NHL team in 1988-1989. I got stuck with a couple but got done with 39 seconds to spare.
See how you do!

Try sporcle for other random quizzes. Fun site when you are board at work.
Is this the right room for an argument?
*Bored
Sorry, grammer and spelling get to me sometimes. Just one of those pet peeves.

I know the difference, I just don’t check anything before I post, I just post (especially when I’m at work). Plus my background has taught me not to care about grammar and spelling.
If you ever screw up a distillation column or the Solow model, I’ll be sure to correct you.

I once screwed up a Revel model, but I was like 6, and you could still tell it was supposed to be a trans-am

Ha…I always had Monogram as a kid, and they never turned out right. However, Solow was a Nobel Prize winner in Economics.
It just irked me that someone felt the need to correct board to bored as if no one understood what I meant. Besides I feel like my grammatical errors are part of my charm. Enjoy and laugh as I continue to ignore grammar and spelling when I type responses as quickly as possible. I also had this gem today:
with the exception that they have somehow complete sit the bedas opposed to completely shit the bed. Just enjoy my ignorance to grammar and spelling, embrace it, if I want to correct it, I’ll correct it myself.

So friggin pissed, ran out of time while typing in final team- edmonton oilers…
this one screwed me because it did want the city and the team name…last one only wanted team name…DAMMIT!

Yeah I didn’t like that either, that took me a bit. My hard part was remembering teams before they moved at first, then I was like "oh yeah the Nordiques, then rattled out the North Stars, Jets, Whalers.
In my defense I was only 3 in the 1988-89 season, but at least I got them all out with a little to spare!

Yeah that screwed me up too. I only had 45 seconds left because it was only on the 3rd try that i realized I was trying to put the Kings in LA and I actually needed to type out Los Angeles. I had the same problem you did, because I had just done the one that didn’t want the city name.

2:45 secs left and I drew a blank on the last two … I knew I was missing from the NorthEast and someone from California, but I couldn’t get the names: Ducks, Senators … for multiple hockey reason I like to think 06-07 didn’t happen
The Sami reference was almost unpleasant. Darcy Tucker can rot in hell.
Maybe it should read "reformedpenguinsfan" since I have retired my Lemeiux jersey ... and purchased an Orange and Black Pronger jersey.
Just ran into Jeff Carter in Sea Isle City. I very poiltely asked him for a picture with two of my friends, he declined. I can understand not wanting to draw attention to yourself, especially on vacation, but the guy lives down here for the whole summer, and about a half hour before that, he had no problem taking numerous pictures with some good looking women.
"Dave's a killer!!!" ..... "Dave's a mess.."
Guess its time to consider that sex change…LOL! Just Kidding, sounds pretty douchey to me…

Eh, I can sort of understand it. Players these days have to also be worried that people are going to rob or harm them, and they’re just more likely to trust women than men.
Lex clavatoris designati rescindenda est.
Rob or harm? We were at the carousel in Sea Isle. It’s a beachfront roundtable bar. There was maybe a dozen people including him. The 2 bouncers outweighed me and my 3 friends. I weigh about 140 and stand at 5’6". The bar is also 60 yards from a police sub-station. He was just being a douche. So glad I wasnt wearing my Carter shirt that I had been wearing last night.
"Dave's a killer!!!" ..... "Dave's a mess.."
If he said no while you were wearing his shirt that would take the cake. I’d prolly justtake it off and tell him to go fuck himself and leave.

Wow. In the time it took to say no you could easily taken a picture. Its not like you asked for an autograph either. I don’t think I’d ever be able to say no to a pic in that situation if I was famous. Oh well..
