    NHL Playoffs

    All three games have been hard fought entertaining games.
  2. There are only 30 big league managerial jobs, I am sure they could find plenty of takers for the job. I also dont think anyones reputation is ruined by taking the manager job of a bad team. Hargrove survived fine. I am not sure Perlozzo or Mazilli had reputations to tarnish.
  3. He is as young as can be! Have a nice day!
  4. Its recommended to go to city hall or the state house and burn it on their front steps. I'd either burn it myself or just toss it.

  6. I'll sound cold if I disagree but I am not sure he should be there. Then again if Byner is.......

    I think Christian said 'most important' time, not happiest. I took it that Ben didn't feel he was ready because he had not forgiven himself for all the wrong he did, especially against the group inside so he didn't feel he should be included with them.

    LOST 2/16/10

    I was pretty happy (and lucky) with the renewals for the fall. Lost and 24 ended, but they were expected to end. Otherwise everything I watch was renewed. Well unless you count Flash Forward, but I had not watched that since it came back in February. I had them on DVR for a while then deleted them because I would never watch them. And Parks And Recreation is being held back until mid-season, that doesn't bother me though. Anyone watch Community? It was OK at the beginning of the year, but the last half season was hilarious IMO. Paintball episode was fantastic.

    NHL Playoffs

    I dont know how much animosity is between the Flyers and Habs for most fans, I just dont like them. No where near the level of hatred it is for Bruins and Leafs. Lots of history between the Leafs and Habs and Bruins. Just in the time I have followed them the Habs have had two big upsets in the playoffs against the Bruins, one coming back from 3-1. That builds anger The Leafs mainly bug me because of the media. I get NHL Center Ice and especially the games on CBC its such a heavy Leafs bias its ridiculous. Its like watching the game on Leafs TV when the two play each other, or when anyone else plays the Leafs. Up until two years ago the main game on Hockey Night In Canada was always the Leafs, no matter what other matchups and playoff implications were. Then ratings go down and they switch it up a bit. Now only 80% of the main games are. On Hockey Night In Canada its not uncommon to hear play by play like "Phaneuf passes to Kessel who moves up the ice and dishes to Colton Orr but its intercepted by a Canadiens player who passes it to another one who moves around Phaneuf and passes to another Canadien". etc I so much prefer the games on TSN. Plus no matter who sucks and who is good in a given season, Habs Leaf games are almost always close and hard fought. Thats a good kind of hate. Fun. I honestly dont remember where my dislike of the Flyers came from. I'll keep it though. Its all good, I like some teams, hate some, and am indifferent about most. Works for me. I'm ready for the finals to start!

    lol, lots of good ones. Here is a site that tries to answer some. Some are silly answers, some are wrong, but some might be right. http://www.movieline.com/2010/05/rebutting-losts-questions.php?page=1

    I want the Blackhawks too. I think they can and will win if I had to guess. I hate the Flyers, not because they beat the Habs. Just always been one of my least favorite teams along with the Leafs and Bruins.

    Kind of bummed but I am not surprised after the last game and the first two. The Flyers pushed them around and won most of the battles. It was fitting the the empty net goal was touched but not controlled by three separate Habs on that rush.

    The commercials always seemed bad on Lost. I have DVR'd it for years to watch them. I think Shannon was important to Sayid's redemption, without which he may not have been able to help how he helped near the end. Same with Penny, even though she never was on the island she was the driving force behind Desmond actions and he was crucial. Didnt Christian state that for Jack and those waiting in the church their time on the island was their "most important of their lives"? So for that reason I understand Walter not being there. And Vincent too, his most important time might have been when a grieving Walt first got him. And we learned a few weeks ago that Michael was trapped on the island. Thats how I took it all, though in their case I still think the writers were handcuffed by an aging Walter. BallT, my wife and I were wondering and how long Hurley and Ben lived and worked together on the island. Luckily Hurley seemed to get along with most people, though Ben may have not been bad to be with then.
  14. Happy birthday! Have fun
  15. Yeah, I dont think any player on that list would ever be classified as spoiled or self absorbed. Not like today's players. Good post grandpa.

    I watched most of game 4 last night. Halak was good or it could have been much worse. The two goals he let up were defensive collapses. Giroux's was really nice. Not taking anything away from him but Leighton's shut outs have been pretty darn easy. The Habs had 17 shots Saturday, most from a safe harmless range. They were awful. You have a journeyman like Leighton playing against you, you need to pepper him with shots and get in his face. They didnt, they had no fight at all along the boards. It was embarrassing.

    What! No talking dog? I am probably about as happy with it as I could be. I liked it and thought it was very well done. A lot of the sudden remembrances almost got me misty. For some reason the Jin and Sun stuff has gotten to me recently. I missed Micheal and Walt too, but understand why there were not there. I feel bad for Harold Perrineau. Good actor and good character the first season who changed into a mopey boring one in season two and then written off. I understand why. I guess it would be hard to have him lose his son, in any way, and still be a well rounded character in the show so I guess it was easier to mostly write him out.

    Yeah it looks that way. I couldnt watch the game yesterday, but I taped it. Because of the outcome I havent watched any of it. I hear the Habs were good the first 10 minutes, then awful the rest. The Blackhawks are rolling.
  19. I do. If not for Jamal the Ravens dont win or make it to the Super Bowl the one season. Then a few years later a 2000 yard season. He was much more important than Byner ever was and Byner is in the ring of honor.

    Good game tonight. The Sharks played really well I thought, but they still lost. I think its all over in the west Sunday. I think whoever makes it in the east gets steamrolled. But you never know.
  21. Let me know if Goth girl ever does any nude scenes, then I'll tune in. Ive never seen an episode but I have always liked Mark Harmon and I hear its very good. My father has them on DVD and watches over and over. I am the only one I know like this, most of my friends who share the same opinion still watch the early one. Maybe some day I will. The goofy last seasons, the unanswered major questions, just left a bad taste in my mouth.

    Dont watch! I think we will. As odd as it has been I think they have been giving answers all season. I hear we are going to have a talking dog to explain everything to us!
