This is about the best the Blue Jackets could hope for. Their defense was paper thin, and Jones help out immensely. Of course, the offense is pretty thin as well, and losing Johansen is a killer blow to that, but he obviously needed a change of scenery.

I think there is more to it than just that. Johansen has a ton of skill, but obviously something is going on. Whether it’s a medical issue, lack of conditioning, or something else.

I think it was a number of factors. First, he had only played for the USNDTP, and not only that but played in Jack Eichel’s shadow so to speak. He was noted for his strong two-way, 200 foot game, but not necessarily his offensive abilities. Playing at Michigan, he found a level that the scouts didn’t seem to notice as…

Born on Christmas Day here. My parents were good and never lumped the two gifts together, unless the price was worthy of such. Also I’ve never had to go to school or work on my birthday. Not as bad as it may sound.

I’m in the same boat. What’s nice is I’ll have all the games released to work with that everyone else is already done with. Mario Wii U, Luigi U, Mario Kart 8, etc, etc. Lots of great titles that I’ll get to see for the first time.

I see much Beetle influence in the Ottomobile. Great interpretations!

100% plausible. Not seeing any blunders here. Move along... move along.

The rear is actually staying pretty much the same.

Clearing out their monthly quota early.

Because the Wings have done nothing of note over the past 3 games.

My lower level bathroom routinely gets a lot of smaller centipedes. Every trip I make sure to inspect any hiding places to prevent sneak attacks.

I took the last class offered for free by my high school. I literally took the last spot. After the classroom work, and the training course, it was time to take the real-world driving test to get my permit. We had the instructor and 3 students: Myself, my best friend, and some girl from the rival high school, who I…

At my best friend’s wedding, two or three of his guests turned their nose up at the 3 different buffet options (all 3 of which were delicious), left, and got McDonald’s instead. These weren’t even children. They were all 18 or older.

I ordered pumpernickel.

a “passing challenge” that’s basically you trying to avoid planting your nose in the back of a slow moving vintage Beetle.

This was the first thing I thought when I heard the theme. It’s really just those first couple lines, but there’s a definitely similarity to Space Oddity.

I recently took my Hummer to CarMax for an appraisal, which was carried out by several helpful, perky CarMax employees who clearly thought I was certifiably insane.

Wow. Just... so good. +1
