I think the only person that could really say this is a personal injury lawyer in the Buffalo/Niagara region.

1)The good part of Deadspin, I find, is that it's broader minds applying themselves. Hockey writers tend to get into bubbles, which today translates either into a stats obsession or hot takery. The exception is Scott Burnside, who became the world's most bizarrely self-loathing Canadian.

2) Bettman hate's been done. …

Amen. Especially like how DS is respectful of #fancystats, but not drowning in them.

Have really been liking the hockey writing lately.

...in private.

I'm with you in theory, but seeing how the 1993 Campbell Conference Finals didn't stroke out the entire Toronto media, I don't think it'll work.

You don't deserve to be crucified for your opinion, you deserve to be crucified for masturbating about yourself and how "above everything" you are for about 30 lines.

I find it better to come in soft and then harden slowly, so to speak. When I bought mine I came in and out of the dealer 6 times.

Salesmen will only do it if they're really desperate.

He forgot to mention you should also tip your salesman 10%

Strange, some part of me thinks someone has bragged about this task a few times.

Depends...bought a new GTI, because the two year old ones were a) not that much cheaper and b) didn't have enough warrantee...and you never drive a VW without one.

That's exactly it...If someone's tired/excited about the car, they'll add another year on without thinking.

Worst of both worlds. You're not going to want to "buy" a car you've been driving for three years. Do one or the other.

I find the big thing is not to rush. Bad things happen when you've visited 10 dealers in two weeks and are so frustrated that you just want A CAR.

Also, be polite, but don't let the salesperson start playing the "you're not serious" or "you've been here so many times" trick. You're giving them money, they have to…

I cannot count the amount of ways I love this.

Pay someone to do this, or ask a friend, instead of wasting a stranger's time.

Because that's not her job or obligation.

Friend: "Come on, buddy, let's go back."
Swaying dude: "[Angry look]"
Friend: "You can stay at my place tonight"
Swaying dude:"QUIT COCKBLOCKIN' ME MAN"

Yeah, I think it was even casually admitted later that it was to bring attention to Holmstrom/Franzen's antics in front of the net. IIRC, refs were harder on goalie interference the rest of the playoffs, especially after Pronger got Holmstrom later in the playoffs.
