Everybody probably has a lot to do… I’m only here right now because I’m relaxing between batches of cookies…
Heck, I’ve missed watching the last two games entirely due to holiday craziness. Luckily on Saturday one of our readers (but I don’t think he comments) was kind enough to fill me in on the score during the Bruins game since I didn’t have access to the radio, too bad he didn’t have good news for me.

I’m sure tomorrow I’ll spend the whole day crazy busy at work as if someone is holding down a fast-forward button; but today is my day off and the last of these pizzelles have to be in the mail today. I do not want to incur the wrath of my family if they don’t get them.
But I am kinda envious of the whole drive a Zamboni to work thing.

In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal
Yeah, I posted the same link below. And I’ve been thinking about this comment for a while. I think the saline mix packets are isotonic so that they don’t kill all the cells in your sinus lining, so it might not kill bacteria and/or amoebae either. My understanding is that the neti pot just washes stuff away. And my (apparently incorrect) guidance against doing it while sick is that it could spread an infection around.

I’d rather kill the infection with rinses than antibotics. But the ameoba thing, though highly unlikely given the number of cases, is preventable by using distilled water and that’s an easy enough precaution to take.

Same here, now that I know I can use rinses to help get rid of an infection.
And yeah, I’ll just use distilled water (or boil the tap water first) from now on.

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
Started doing that last weekend. For some reason I thought you shouldn’t do those when you have a sinus infection, or else I would have done it a lot sooner, but when my wife suggested it I could find no evidence to support my claim. It helped tremendously over the weekend, I felt a whole lot better by Sunday. But then the insanely low humidity in my office building knocked me back again yesterday, though not nearly as bad as I felt last week. Hopefully if I keep it up, combined with getting out of the office for 10 days, it’ll do the trick. (Just don’t use tap water…)
Another part of the problem is overuse of decongestants. My doctor gave me one back in the spring to help with allergy-induced sinus headaches, but never said anything about stopping. I’ve learned that they are not intended for long-term use. Stopping those last week has also helped.

I heard about the little beastie in the tap water. That’s some serious shit luck. Are you sure that your not working in a sick building? Before building sciences had really developed and water vapor exchange between the outside and the building’s memebrane was being seriously considered, buildings were over insulated in an attempt to keep energy costs low. Lots of buildings became hermetically sealed petri dishes to culture mold, mildew and germs. I bet that just makes you feel better.
It’s entirely possible, a number of my coworkers have the same problems. We had someone in to do an air quality test and it came back okay, but I don’t believe they tested humidity. It’s really dry in here. If I open my sandwich box at lunchtime, the bread will start to go stale within minutes if I don’t eat it.

Yup. I’ve got basically one day’s worth of work left to do this week before the break, and four days to do it. So you know I’ll be here a lot. :-p
Didn’t get to watch last night’s game, but the next two will be on TV down here, so I’m pretty happy about that. Combined with the 6 consecutive ones (Buffalo through Boston) that were on VS, NHLN or CSN-DC the last couple weeks, that means I’ll get to watch 8 Flyers games this month. That’s fucking incredible.

I enjoyed the Carle interview and his comments about 24/7. I think that every sport should do a 24/7 type documentary so that the fans understand the daily grind of the season, mentally, physically and emotionally. I also enjoy seeing the players more on a “human” level… but maybe that’s just my “purist” fan in me.
Also, I think I saw a link to Bernie Parent’s mask for the Winter Classic. If it’s true, I’ll post it.

CBA Help
Cap hits aren’t pro-rated, correct? From the day the contract is signed until it runs out is going to be the same cap hit?

"I think there is virtue in pissing off idiots." - Fehr and Balanced
Well… yes. But the cap is calculated daily, so the “cap hit” everyone talks about is only the cap hit should they spend every single day on an NHL roster.
So if you look here, you’ll see that Kris Versteeg’s cap hit is $3.08 million, but he was only on the Flyers for 56 days. Each day he was on the team, he cost them ($3.08 million/186 days in season), but at the end of the year, the Flyers only charged $928k to their cap for Versteeg.

Yeah, it doesn’t change, because it’s the total dollar amount the contract is worth (salary + bonuses) divided by the number of years. See Geoff’s reply above for explaining the daily calculation of the cap, since that’s relevant when a player is acquired midseason.
For a player with bonuses, those are averaged as well. No matter which bonuses are available in a given year and which ones have or have not been earned in previous years, on Day 1 of each season the cap hit is always the same. Unattainable bonuses for that season only get deducted when they become impossible, but on Day 1 of the following season the cap hit goes back up to the original averaged amount.
The only time it gets ‘adjusted’ is when a player on an ELC slides because they spent the year in juniors, because the first year of their signing bonus doesn’t shift with the rest of the contract. But once that slide rule adjustment is made, the cap hit doesn’t change again once actually they start playing out the ELC.
Is there a specific situation that made you ask, or did we cover it?

by DragonGirl0583 on Dec 20, 2011 2:06 PM EST up reply actions
You guys covered it way beyond what my thoughts were so thanks for that. The reason I ask is mostly for “What if” scenarios with trades. For instance, if we were to acquire a contract that wasn’t expiring at the end of this season, would we be charged the remaining cap hit or the total from when that contract was first signed? I was 99% sure that the cap hit never changes (putting aside bonuses and what not) but just wanted to be sure.
Where would I be without BSH?

The cap hit doesn’t change, but the Flyers are only charged the remaining amount against their cap. Kris Versteeg’s contract is still the best example. When they acquired him last year, they still had to pay his $3.08 million cap hit, but because they acquired him mid-season, he cost them $928k against the cap. This year, the Panthers are paying him $3.08 million against the cap, assuming he’s on their roster every day this season.

Political Correctness - the belief that one can pick up a turd by the clean end.
They will still need to find $40,541 per day to pay the guy, and right now they only have $12,536.
They’d need to lose $28,005 of daily spending to afford him, which won’t be easy to do at all. So while the Flyers would only have Weber count as ~$2 million on the year end total, he’ll still count as “$7.5 million” every day he’s on the roster.

It’s his daily cap hit multiplied by the 40ish days left in the regular season, depending on how long before the deadline he’s acquired. But the thing is, we have no banked cap space. So we have to fit the full amount of his daily cap hit in every day that he would be here; so when you try to see if he can fit, it’s roughly the same as looking at the regular capgeek roster and pretending we have to fit him in for the whole year. It doesn’t matter that we say “Oh well we only have to fit him for 40 days”, because we have to fit the rest of our roster for the same 40 days, and we’ll have already spent every penny we have available on each of the days leading up to trade the deadline.
I hope that made at least a little sense.

Slide rule
I’m sure you’ve written this somewhere, but if you would be so willing: Can the slide rule be applied more than once on a player? Or perhaps I should ask, can it be applied two years in a row on a player?
That’s a really good question. I thought I knew the answer, but I don’t want to tell you the wrong information.

It can be applied twice if the player is young enough to have 2 more years of junior eligibility when they sign the ELC. A lot of the time a player will be drafted at 18 but not signed right away, so when they finally have the contract they only have 1 year of junior eligibility left.
But for example, the Flyers slid Tyler Hostetter twice.

This may seem stupid to some, but I really want to apply for Survivor. Unfortunately, applications are due in January with them contacting me in February. So unfortunately, it will have to wait because I can’t take a break from student teaching. But after student teaching, I will receive my degree and the very next window that CBS makes available, I will submit an application and hope for the best. I can wait to go job hunting. And if I get on, the publicity can only help, right? ;-)

You’re welcome!
That doesn’t sound stupid to me… A few of my friends have auditioned for reality shows and I mean, however you get your foot in the door is all that matters :) Not to sound creepy, but if you want to talk more or want advice and not use the fly by, I don’t mind emailing or using facebook to help.

I spent almost a year after grad school playing poker, partying, and traveling. Probably the best year of my life.

Yeah, after getting my degree I went straight to working. But my wife and I did wait (i.e. are still waiting) on kids so that we could do lots of traveling first. Been to Europe three times, Utah twice, and Alaska. So at least we got that right!

Have you guys heard this? Instead of Moves like Jagr it’s…

The Flyers are 2011 Atlantic Division Champs, the Phillies just keep winning pennant after pennant. Great time to be a fan of those two teams on Broad Street.
Here’s a link that will actually work!

Geoff is a dick and refuses to post this so here's an awesome link he didn't include.

These pads were hideous, but this picture is iconic to me, so I’ll always love it. The Phantoms mask helps.

Wow, when I went to adjust the width of the image, it posted. No idea how I did that.
Apologies. At least I got the title in before hand.

This is true. But I think a lot of people will agree that the Phantoms logo looks cooler than the Jets. The question is whether the NHL v. AHL difference tips the scales.
For me, it doesn’t.

He wasn’t as true to the Phantoms colors though.
The Jets one is pretty cool, and might be a game changer in goalie fashions for years to come.

Also, speaking of trolling, for fun and to procrastinate I just went back and read the SBN: PHilly article where in the comments I get called a faggot who draws horrible, humorless cartoons.
Ahhhh good times.

He’s not trolling. This is hardly the first time this has been done, and I don’t think it’s the best either.

And that Bryz would never leave.
GMAT verbal section question, Philadelphia sports version.
In 2015, which one of the following will prove to be a better investment?
(a) Ilya Bryzgalov's contract (b) Ryan Howard's extension (c) Mike Vick's extension (d) Greek bonds from 2009 (e) Papelbon's bloat deal
No I was talking to him so I figured he just came on and wanted to mess with me.

I don’t know, you kind of tried to troll him IMO. If anything I think you owe Geoff an apology. ;)

He didn’t post my link because he didn’t want to post the not SBN version, so I clipped the SBN version then said he wouldn’t post it tomorrow so I posted it in the comments. I simply tried to make his life easier but no he had to be an ass about it so I did it myself.

Whatever. I don’t care. I just don’t want to be at work anymore. Like at all. I just want to play hockey and find a job in the Philly area. That’s really all I want right now….well that and a nap.

I’m still mad at Geoff for leaving the area. There goes my shitty Friday golf partner.

I’m wondering if “shitty” in this case describes “Friday”, “Friday golf”, or the “golf partner”. So many interpretations!

They have some really excellent/obnoxious pads.

My retina’s just twitched. Need blast shield for eyes.
I kid. They’re not that bad but Mason’s are in another league.
Look here and here, there are far better pads than Mason’s. Or check out any of Felix the Cat’s pads or Burke’s pads from the Whalers. Mason’s are hardly excellent or in a league of their own, they’re just newer.
