Where is everyone?
First! Simons!
I’m here. How was the college hockey game?
It was good. 3-3 tie.
But I hurt my back pretty badly, and still sick…its annoying me.
Hurt your back? How’d that happen?
good sports weekend for meez.
FU and Bama
S Carolina and GA beat up the top ACC’s
Jets win (although the season is over and I’d rather have better draft picks)
Harvin tears up Bears D on national TV
What the hell, Future? You just beating yourself up over there?
By the way, Clemson was NOT the second best team in the ACC. That would be Virginia Tech. (Not that they fared that greatly against SEC teams themselves this year, loss to Alabama).
So Lunk, if you happened to catch Saturday’s debacle, did your ladyfriend really rub it in your face or was that the type of game where you almost feel sorry for seeing your loved one’s team get pulverized?
Future & I will be at the rematch tonight…I really hope the trend of the Pens not being able to win at MSG (regular season anyway) holds up.
She’s still in Pittsburgh taking care of her mom so I didn’t have to deal with it. I probably would have needed to leave the house.
By the way, WTF chicken shit Matt Cooke? Games in hand, you’re embarrassing the other team… And yoù go for some kid’s head?
By the way: proof that the NHL doesn’t penalize the Penguins. Cooke started the season with like 10 straight games without a penalty.
Another example of the inconsistencies of NHL justice, Glencross (dude that nailed Drury) was a first time offender, gets 3 games. Cooke had a prior suspension on his resume, 2 games. Really NHL, really?
Anyone getting any on Cyber Monday
My back is killing me, and I don’t know what I did. I never have back problems so this is very strange.
A/S/L?
I just bought a HOT motherboard. Envy me.
Which one, Lunk?
My wife bought a lot of frivolous items on black friday but they were a “good deal”, so I went on Amazon and bought a frivolous purchase of my own, another Rangers jersey because it was a good deal at 43% off.

mfbS?
Went online today to check the prices of my HD I purchased on Thanksgiving(early black friday deal). So far, so good. Newegg is sold out of the tv now, and have nothing in that price range, and no other site comes within $200.
It’s a Biostar AM2+/AM3 ATX motherboard, Future.
I’m angry that I missed newegg’s TomTom GPS for $59. I actually ordered it and got a message saying it was out of stock. Stupid brother got one though.
I went to Target on BF, but missed out on the 32” for $246. Ended up buying a 40” for pretty good price, but what a waste of a good lie-in.

I didn’t realize the Isles vs. Lowell Devils was another daygame, missed it and was pleasantly surprised by the score. I caught the Devils in 60 – turns it could have been a worse beating since the Devs hit metal 5 times and had another goal whistled in but disallowed. Isles still looked good at times – much better than the Rangers anyway.

So, Omar is close to re-signing Dessens. Um, what for?
What happened to the Rangers work ethic and their drive to play hard at all times? Seriously? Have they desensitized to Torts already?
what up peeps?
OMG it’s a Tim Tim!
Future, deal applies to size 52 only, but well worth it.
The whole team is a mess, from behind the bench to the ice. The secondary scoring, well from the forwards, will probably not get solved this season. The soft positioning and running around in their own zone is plain as day that you wonder what they talk about in practice and film sessions, and the goaltending is becoming an issue. Obviously they had it in them to go 7-1-0 so they’ve shown they can play well but the lack of adjustments made by the coaching staff is very puzzling if not worrisome.
Lunk, I watched this 11 minute video of a guy, I think installing a Mac OS into an xbox. It’s kinda cool if you wanna see it.
he does some cool machining and workmanship.
We certainly have the TALENT in secondary scoring. I mean, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have three twenty plus goal scorers on the second line to back up the big #1 line. For some reason, the team philosophy is not working for them. They aren’t generating any chances at all. I think the part of the reason is that there isn’t a natural playmaker of any caliber on the 2nd line. I think this is where the development of Anisimov could really factor in but Torts seems relegated to playing him in third line shifts which isn’t helping his development.
And that’s part of the problem. The theory is that this team should be playing defense by playing an up tempo offense. But the only line that is currently playing that was is Gaborik’s line.
Also, the fourth line is garbage which is making it even more difficult. Boyle is okay but Brashear and Voros are just utterly useless in almost any scenario.
That is some neat stuff, Tim. Of course, totally illegal per Apple’s EULA.
The Rangers looked discombobulated vs. the Pens. No cohesion, everybody just skating around chasing pucks and accomplishing nothing. Crosby had so much time and room to operate I felt sorry for the goalie. Lamaire would have benched em all.

Most teams have crap 4th lines. I’m just happy the Devils now have a second line. Rolston-Elias-Langenbrunner has looked really good so far. Also, Elias game me the exact word I’ve been searching for to describe Parise: relentless. He’s not the best skater, or the fanciest stick-handler, or the toughest guy on ice, but he’s relentless.
==
Anyone familiar with digital SLR cameras? I always lean towards Nikon with cameras, but Consumer Reports is insisting I get Pentax.
A legit set up man would help on the 2nd or 3rd lines but Higgins and Cally look like they can’t flip the puck in the ocean off the edge of a very short pier.
And yes, Voros and Brashear are pretty useless. $2.4MM is not a huge cap hit, but like the middle relievers in a bullpen, you should not be paying premiums to FA’s to play on the 4th line. Get a scrap heap player or a limited ceiling kid to do that role.
Yup, I’ve rarely seen Parise either weave his way through the D and pick a corner or snap a laser past the goalie. He gets a lot of jam in goals, I wouldn’t call them garbage goals because he still does most of the work. And while his speed isn’t blinding, his balance is among the best in the game. He’ll be the only US goal scoring forward that can match up to the other countries elite snipers. I’d put him on a line with either Phil Kessel or Patrick Kane and see if they can work some magic in Vancouver.
Parise is just so good at, no matter what position he’s in, getting off a laser wrist shot at the spot where the goalie isn’t. That’s the most important skill a goal scorer can have.
Every Met and Cardinal fan wants this for christmas
OMG SUPERJOE! $20? Really?
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY!
Wily Mo
61 fucking dollars for Willy Mo Pena?
What are these people smoking?
Lunch!
If there was a $61 rebate on that plus free ship and a free stamp enclosed for my rebate then maybe I would consider going through the trouble of getting his autograph…maybe
Would you be more upset if you paid $61 for a Wily Mo autograph or found out that Omar signed Wily Mo to…oh wait.
I think the fact that its only marked down 8 dollars from what they charged at its highest point is the funniest part.
The fact that they’re asking more than the cost of the baseball is joke enough for me.
Man, the top 10 worst feelings in the world thread on fugees is depressing.
I’m heading out into the city now. I found out what motivates me to get off my butt is to turn off the internet. Bored I have to get out and do something.
If anyone else wants to meet up with MFBS and I, we’ll be at Stout for 530 for drinks.
lol. I guess GA doesn’t have any scalping laws because if they do I don’t know of any scalper who would stand in line with their potential buyer probably on camera and surrounded by cops 2-6 hours before kickoff.
I’d consider it damaged goods.
OMG we’re about to lock up Cora..
offseason so far = SUCCESS
It be ugly in the city right now, I wouldn’t be in too much of a rush Future. But if you’re so inclined, go to the NHL store (I had to get the lettering on my jersey for tonight’s game touched up). Look for the girl in the vintage Minny North Stars shirt, you can’t miss ‘em.
Oh before I go, ND has officially canned Weis.
Eh, there isn’t much else to do here in Brooklyn. I might as well come into the city now.
also jimmy clausen announced he is going pro, awaiting word from golden tate…
Hope Tate goes. He doesn’t want to deal with a new coach and Crist being the QB.
crist is supposed to be real good.
Yeah Cora. Latino Grit!
“What’s a grit?”
So Lunk/Future:
Having gone through with my Cyber Monday purchase* of another Rangers jersey (away white, blank), the question now becomes what player to get on this one.
To re-hash what I already have:
Gaborik in white
Staal (which covers up Gomez) in blue
Leetch in white from 1994
Lundqvist in white (autographed so I never wear it to a game)
I’m leaning toward Del Zotto. Although at the time of purchasing Gaborik, it was between him and Dubinsky.
I’m still a Dubs fan myself but Del Zotto has a hell of a future.
* - I may end up returning it, buying it was my adolescent response to the wife melting the credit card on Black Friday with lots and lots of “good deal” purchases.
they were mentioning on espn yesterday that today would be the day. I heard Stoops is or will be flying to SB for a visit.
I’d go with Del Zotto personally.
Or a player they’re guaranteed not to trade…Wade Redden!
Sadly enough, Redden may be our best all around d man right now.
stoops turns down nd
not that i think he was ever in the running
so did Meyer, although he still calls it his dream job. lol
i’d be surprised if they got any one of their “second-tier” choices like harbaugh, kelly, or patterson
So is anyone coming to meet Future & I at Stout (33rd between 6th and 7th)?
Where’s Dep and Ed (although I’m sure being at a bar full of Rangers fans is less than ideal for them)?
Wow, the 15 game weekday plan for the Mets is weak. Pretty shitty selection.
i actually predicted weis would get the job back in 2004/5. now i haven’t a clue. i guess kelly is the flavor-of-theday in south bend… :(
How Jeter could get sportsman of the year over victorino is beyond me.
Unbelievable.
bcust, I heard ND is flying in Mangini to talk about the vacancy.
beeeeeeeep.
Seriously, I think ND will have to settle on a coach. No A1 coach wants that spotlight right now and no coach wants all that recruitment headache in the offseason. They have no local pool of talent to draw a base and that new coach will have to fly from coast to coast begging some HS kid and his parents in FL, TX, CA, OH, etc. to play for ND. You can’t sell ND tradition to a 17 or 18 year old these days. They don’t care.
i would rather see romeo krenel flown in. charlie ran the offense just fine. the defense was disastrous…
charlie did fine as a recruiter. he just didn’t do enough w/the talent once he got it (w/some notable exceptions eg clausen)
your boy meyer has all the advantage recruiting in florida, that is a given… ;)
here’s a dark horse:
Never met him at any of the wildcat camps I attended in high school. He was always well liked and an awesome recruiter
ianello has quite a connnection to your az wildcats, chris. but i think he is just keeping the seat warm until they find some high profile name willing to go under the microscope.
personally, i would like to see lou holtz come back. he is my all-time favorite nd coach. i don’t think the game has passed him by and he is still beloved in south bend…
Bobby Bowden to retire
Kevin Gilbride is Irish, isn’t he? Or close enough, at least?
i would possibly lean towards a more d-oriented guy than gilbride, but what the hey, it is wide open… :(
pretty sweet watching the pats get worked like this in a showcase game
