Don Wittman passed away. Sad day in broadcasting.

Crosby suffered a high ankle sprain in tonights game and is out 4-6 weeks. They don't need to worry when Ty Conklin is playing so well.

Who is the greatest coach ever that never won a championship? -
Since I have never been to Turning Rock, only the Casino's in Niagara Falls I can't answer your question. My experience is that your age or the elderly people will be playing, especially if its a weekend.

Mike Martz will like to challenge the call.

On No Limit: Since its your first time playing at a casino, the players there would have lots of chips and lots of patience. Bring lots of cash and don't be too anxious. These guys are pretty good and would feed off of somebody new. On Blackjack: Try to find yourself a manual shoe. You'll gain better odds in winning and counting cards becomes easier. Always play within the "rules" if you don't want to piss off your table. Stay clear of side bet games and insurance on a manual shoe. If its an automatic your hunch comes into play when you know a dealer would get blackjack. Remember. Always split 8's and aces. Never split 5's, 10's and face cards. Don't play on the anchor spot unless its the only spot left. (Last player before dealer). Roulette: You might as well just give your money to the casino without playing.

Bills/Giants. Your superbowl halftime was Michael Jackson and New Kids on the Block. What is the greatest NHL hockey game ever played? -

Ali in the seventh round by KO. Three of these rounds Ali is just dancing around making Tyson tired. What is the most nerve racking sport of all time? -

Paul Henderson. While his stats aren't amazing in the NHL during that time (only 477 points in 700 games) he is a legend in Canadian history scoring the biggest goal in Hockey History. Not too mention he also scored two GWG as well during the Summitt Series in 72. The fact is that his NHL records shows him as a mediocre player by NHL Standards, he should get some recongnition in the Hall of Fame for what impact he made in Canadian hockey history. Besides, Vladislav Tretiak the starting Russian goalie is in the Hockey Hall of Fame despite never playing in the NHL, and the only person in the Hall of Fame that has never played in the Hall. To answer cabbageboy for not knowing which mediocre NHL team winning the cup, its either the 92-93 Montreal Canadiens or the 2005-2006 Carolina Hurricanes. Neither of these teams deserve to win the cup. (Pittsburgh got knocked out by the Islanders which sealed the deal for Montreal winning the cup. And Carolina got so many breaks to win the cup its not funny.) My question. Should the Superbowl for a change be played somewhere North and not indoors. Seattle has an excellent stadium and so does New England, and what about Soldier field or Lambeau? People would love to see a 0 degree game in snow or slush and a complete mudbath. -
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *Catches his breath* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Northern Alberta is all dirty... Even people from Edmonton will tell you that Calgary is a much more beautiful city. But the costing of living has gone up here in Calgary you're right. My mom and my step dad bought our house back in the summer of 1999 for like $170,000 and now it's worth just a little under half a million. Finding a decent job here in Alberta is no problem at all. Edmonton is a much nicer city than the majority of Ontario.

Well to give you a low-down. Fort McMurrary is where the money is. Like someone posted earlier in this thread, you can make 20 bucks an hour pumping gas, but trying to live up here by yourself is near impossible. The best way is to split the rent with some one you know. Other than Alberta and the main cities its pretty tough to find decent paying jobs. You can try a smaller market but jobs are few and far between especially with good pay. Southern Ontario housing prices range dramtically in a 100km area. You can go to my hometown of Port Colborne with a population of 18,000 and a four bedroom, two bathroom house can cost $145,000 and thats with a good size property too. A thirty minute drive to Niagara Falls with a population of 80,000 and the price doubles. Go to Toronto and the same house with property is almost at $700,000.

Then they don't need to go to Alberta then. Ottawa is a beautiful city lots of government type jobs and rent is nowhere near as expensive as say Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal or the province of Alberta. Just to give you an idea, a two bedroom apartment in Fort McMurray runs on average about $2,100 a month. Not including anything else.

and for healthcare too? If its not serious, expect to wait for like six hours and they might help you.

Do improv. Harder than hell.

Absolutley not. I'm assuming that your sister and brother in law have a good work background. Hell if he has any trades, he can be making like 30-75 an hour at some camp site.

I don't believe Todd would be as good no matter where he went. The Toronto Maple Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup in 40+ years and by the looks of it, will not win one in another 40 years either. The team is not looking to rebuild, and with past history always looked into the past instead of rebuilding (in the 95 season they didn't have the number four pick and Luongo was picked number four.) Sooner or later the younger generation will completly ignore the Leafs and instead cheer for a better and more promising team. Since 1967 when was the lowest point in Leafs History? -
Habs won too, and Huet looked good too. Still think we should trade Huet CG?
-
Edmonton is a beautiful city and they have some nice area's too. It's not as expensive as Calgary, but there are plenty of jobs around for medical and educational purposes.

I will say that it can happen in about 15 years or so, but the team wont win the National Title Should a league make a ruiling that if a player under contract does not come to Training camp be suspended for the entire season? -
I remember at the end of the episode where the pig is flying through the air and the scen with Mr. Burns and Smithers always crack me up.

Yes and No. If Indy made it to the Superbowl a few more times and lost then 100% agree, but instead they are like the Dallas Stars throughout the 90's. They've gotten to the conference finals and semi-finals, but always seemed to come up short against a better team or either an inferior team. When Dallas won the Stanley Cup against Buffalo, Buffalo was the inferior team, like Chicago was the inferior team against Indy. Is Tiger Woods the best athlete in sports today?
