“Oh, I didn’t even see that,” Matt Read told us. “I don’t know. That’s kind of, uh, wow I don’t even know what to think about that. If I saw that I’d probably take a run at him or something like that. But I don’t know, can’t do anything about it now.”
Is it a problem because Jagr is a Hall of Famer? Or is it just wrong to mock guys? Truthfully, I don’t know why he does the salute, if it’s a tribute to someone or something, if it is, then yes, mocking it is kind of lame. If it’s just something Jagr does and has always done then mocking it is fine with me.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.

I think he does it for his father. Not sure where I heard that or if its correct though.

I heard that once to but I never saw or heard any confirmation of that. If that is indeed the case then mocking it isn’t cool.

Anyone else sick and tired of the whole “Flyers have goalie issues” crap the media keeps dishing out?
I prefer to think the Flyers’ goalies have media issues.

Can someone direct me to a website that will give me giveaway, takeaway and turnover totals for players?

There’s something like that on the NHL site.

I watched the first part, and there were a few times when he didn’t sound pleased. He still sounded disappointed with the win.

The best part was when he said they must wanted to go to overtime and that they must have had a meeting on this.

Wait a sec
Was Giroux an option for the penalty shot? I couldn’t watch closely but the ASF article says he was on the ice and therefore an option. WTF?
This is what I was wondering.

Yes I believe he was an option. It had to be taken by anyone on the ice.
I would have went with Giroux. I would always go with Giroux given the option but I didn’t totally blame Lavy here.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
Click my link below. It explains why Lavy chose Briere over Giroux, though either would have been a fine choice.
The way Lundqvist played yesterday, it really didn’t matter who he put out there.
Of course, had he chosen Lilja, the game would have gone to o’ertime.

Me either. And that is the amazing thing. For all the talk about how important a goalie is, and it is, there are really only 2-3 worth the money, and sadly the one the Flyers have isn’t, and never was.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
I will refer you to your own signature for this one. You’re right. Bryz is good but not THAT good.
With the way the Rangers are playing now, Lundqvist becomes even more dangerous. He was always good, but he was also the Dominik Hasek to the Rangers’ Sabres-of-the-mid-to-late-90s: He was the one constant really keeping them in games. Now they’re doing it with skill, with their system, AND with Hank.
Do you see what happens when you find a stranger in the Alps?
It’s the system I’m noticing. Most of the time they look like they’re playing with a shared purpose and a resistance that has been missing. It’s still early but I wouldn’t bet that they’re going to wilt this year.

Add this to the list of reasons why Jagr is awesome…
Maybe he’s celebrating like that too, I don’t know. He doesn’t score many goals. That’s nothing against him, I didn’t see.
www.southpawcurve.blogspot.com - check out my baseball blog!!
Also… congrats to Schenn!! After he scored, I thought of DSOD in 2010
www.southpawcurve.blogspot.com - check out my baseball blog!!
That was my first thought too. Well, first thought right after “Goddammit, NBC! I missed the goal because you’re screwing around with artsy camera angles!”…

Salute
To be honest I don’t really like or get Jagr’s salute… it just seems to self involved to me… I just think when you score. the celebration should represent your excitement/joy like most everyone else’s does… Jagr just takes off a glove and salutes.. when something exciting happens what do you want to do? You want to fist pump or jumo in the air or do something spontaneous… not salute… but whatever, to each his own…

I think he’s doing it now only to keep himself motivated, he’s happy and it’s a reminder of his glory days, motivation to keep playing at the level that he’s playing at.
Originally though the salute was meant for his 2 grandfathers who were high ranking officers (I think generals if I’m not mistaken) in the Czech army.
In 1968 (hence as well why he wears the #68) in what they call the “Prague Spring of 1968”, the Soviets rolled in with their tanks and crushed a democartic uprising in the capital city.
They threw both of Jagr’s grandfathers in jail where they would later pass away. He felt the Soviets were very stern and most Czechs (and Slovaks for that matter) resented the Soviet rule.
He used to salute them because he felt that playing in the NHL and in North America gave him that freedom that he could only dream of as a child carrying a picture of Reagan around in his wallet. He felt his grandfathers were living this “freedom” through Jagr. Jagr is also very religious and is Orthodox Christian and is a great believer in heaven and God and feels his grandfathers are watching him.
Ironically, Jagr was only born in 1971, a few years after his grandfathers died.

Massively OT, but my wife rented The Help and Crazy Stupid Love for us to watch last week. Hello Emma Stone.

Crazy Stupid Love was pretty good. I liked it. I also like Emma Stone. A lot.
Haven’t seen the help yet but I have it to watch if I get around to it.
Just saw an interesting movie called The Flowers of War. Very good. Very sad but good. Read up on it if you want.

I remember you didn’t like that movie but was it because of her or just the movie itself? I think it was because of her.
Ed Snider is a crotchety old fuck.
That is all.
No, the movie itself was horrendous. It’s overacted, but not to the point where it seemed intentional, just to the point where it was off putting. At the end of the day, it was just a poorly acted (for the most part), lame reinterpretation.
I don’t find Emma Stone attractive outside of Zombieland, but for the most part I enjoy her as an actress. This was one she didn’t save, and is one of the few movies I’ve ever wished I could unwatch.
That said, Crazy. Stupid. Love. was very enjoyable.

OT: I hate my laptop battery.
So my battery is now refusing to hold a charge. I just called DELL, who had me check in the system setup mode thing for issues, and apparently I need a new battery. The Dell person quoted me like 130+ dollars for a battery. Ugh. And I asked for an email with the information about the battery, and the case number for this call, and I haven’t gotten anything yet even though she said she would send one.

After being a loyal Dell customer for many years, buying at least 6 different laptops, plus getting Dells at work, I eventually tired of these sorts of issues (2 different Dells had battery issues) and went over the dark side (I have an Apple).
Note that it also matters if you are a business (usually good computers) or an individual (usually bad).
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
Yeah, I have usually been fine with customer service stuff. I had an issue with my video card last year and they replaced it for free, all within a few days. And I still have a warranty until August.

I splashed a little bit of coffee on a mac book and chances are it’s dead. I know that liquid and labtops can be fatal but not for the amount of cofee that splashed on it. It was a freak accident, i don’t drink or eat next to the labtop. It wouldn’t be the worse thing in the world but Macs are so fucking expensive to fix it’ll make more sense to by a new one…well not a Mac, that’s for sure. If I had 1500 dollars and could get a Mac Probook then I might reconsider. The basic mac book is really a basic PC with a what amounts to a 500 dollar virus protection software program (the price differential you spend for a Mac).
I once spilled water on my desktop keyboard, and it went out letter by letter until none of them worked.
