    NHL Thread - November 2007

    I'm not saying this because I'm a Habs fan, but this might have been the most fun I've ever had in a hockey thread here.

    WWE announces 2007 DVDs

    Every Canadian wrestling fan older than 21 would buy this. And re: anti-Leaf: I'll be the BFF of whoever can find me that spot on YouTube.

    Christmas music

    This isn't music related at all, but it just pissed me off in a Rogers commercial. Why the hell did kids go through their hidden presents before Xmas Day? I'm sure there were a few lies, but almost everyone I went to school with as a kid rooted through their presents beforehand. I never got why.

    Pretty wacky fucking day in the NHL. The aforementioned Bryzaglov thing (I felt terribly for Gretz yesterday), Toronto never ever beats Ottawa, I doubt if New Jersey scored six goals this month before tonight, Chicago beats Detroit AGAIN (4-0 this year, by my count?), and Montreal's up 7-4 midway through the third.

    NHL Thread - November 2007

    I'm pretty disappointed it's not on here; Ron McLean described it as "lots of action", and you pretty well cemented it, Max. I'd like to see the Habs play on the grounds that Price has had 'terrible positioning', which certainly wasn't the case on Tuesday.

    Guitar Hero.

    The difference was, for me, night and day. Medium gave me no trouble, nor did any of the first six tiers on Hard, save Black Magic Woman, which I did four-star. I barely got through Cliffs of Dover and NOTB, and failed Raining Blood and One big time.

    Upconverting DVD players

    That's pretty sweet that you can use component instead of HDMI. Were they included? All the ones we sell only have composite with them, but require HDMI to upconvert, not component (I went so far as to go through each owner's manual), and there's a fair difference in price between the two types. I've sung this song plenty of times, but to me, it makes infinitely more sense to go this route. Let's say in one year, Blu-Ray or HD DVD is the thing, it's established and they're cheap enough for most to buy. If you spend one hundred bucks for an upconverting DVD to use just until that time, that's not an investment. (And it goes without saying that my one-year suggestion is pretty ridiculous).

    I'm drunk, but fuckin Russia, Indonesia, and Australia will be the death of me.

    Yeah, what the hell happened there? He was scoring 40 with Thornton on his line, but Savard comes to town, then nothing? I know Marc's my boy, but come on.

    Christmas music

    Milky beat me to it. Five Xmases working at Wal*Mart now. And I hated it long before I started working there. My stepdad thought the day after Thanksgiving was unquestionably the right time to put the lights and tree up. Oh yeah, Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving the second Monday in October.

    Three-goal first by the Sabres. They won 85 percent of the draws, and didn't allow Montreal a shot for nine minutes. Who thought there'd be a negative side effect to putting Tom Kostopolous on the front line?

    kkk Bowl V: Week 11

    Arizona @ Cincinnati (3.5) Carolina @ Green Bay (9.5) 9.5? Nah. Not yet, even if a lot of it is out of spite towards a buddy of mine. (3.5) Cleveland @ Baltimore Kansas City @ Indianapolis (14.5) Is 14.5 the spread, or how many angry TD's Manning is gonna throw? Miami @ Philadelphia (10.5) (16.5) New England @ Buffalo - New England was favoured by 17.5 Week One, and I picked the Bills that time. New Orleans @ Houston (0.5) Oakland @ Minnesota (5.5) (10.5) Pittsburgh @ N.Y. Jets San Diego @ Jacksonville (2.5) (3.5) Tampa Bay @ Atlanta Washington @ Dallas (10.5) (2.5) N.Y. Giants @ Detroit (3.5) St. Louis @ San Francisco Chicago @ Seattle (5.5) Tennessee @ Denver (2.5) St. Louis scores 22.

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's a prelude to Selanne coming back. I thought I recalled Niedermayer saying he was on the fence this week, leaning more towards a December return.

    Ilya Bryzgalov has been waived, and the Ducks are calling up Jonas Hillier from Portland. TSN.ca's poll has Pittsburgh leading the way in "Who needs a goalie upgrade the most?" EDIT: Wasn't Cincy Anaheim's AHL team?

    Yes. The last line in particular.

    My roomate and I BUTT heads about this a lot. There's no question Price is the man of the future, but there's no need to force it, especially not in a city like Montreal. Cristobal Huet is a perfectly competent #1 and that's how it should be until, at least, the end of this year. Anyone catch Wade Belak's ridiculously bad defence (hey, another rimshot) of Tlusty? "We'll defend him. We've all been caught with our pants down before." Lecavalier has a five-point night in a 6-1 win over the Canes. That's his SIXTH straight multi-point game, and it gives him a two-point lead over Zetterberg and Sid the Kid.

    Bah! Took a run at it again, this time came with 1000 of getting through Level 12.

    Habs get two with a wildly entertaining OT win over the Leafs, and Calgary actually wins a game, 3-2 over the Wild.

    The Hangover Thread

    If you know you're getting hammered, take two aspirin before you start boozin'. Take two more and a glass of water before you pass out. Eat McDonald's breakfast, if applicable, the following morning.

    Levels you hate in game you love

    I don't know if this should count as a level, but recruiting in NCAA Football 08 was a cool concept; It became ridiculously tedious though.

    Food Signage and Labels

    Yes. Maybe the worst jingle ever. "Coffee Time is any time. Any time is Coffee Time." Why'd you limit it to Treble? Not that I have any problem with him, but it's really close to a Leafs-Habs game.

    Even if that's false, he's still my most-hated player in the league by far.

    They actually mention him in the same sentence as Frank Sinatra.

    Beat me my about 25000, and I thought that would have set the bar.
