My understanding was always that it was based upon a relationship with and homage to Manchester United. That was the company line when i worked there at the turn of the century. We even played a friendly against them one of those seasons where that message was pushed.

The equivalent is actually given to teams in some countries based upon length of existence. Like an earned badge for X years of competition. I don’t think that’s the case for RSL either.

A) Shatttenkirk does not put the Caps over the top, but he’s an upgrade. B) the caps have exactly two useful players under 30 at the start of next season, and few draft picks for the next 3 years. So, they just ensured an extended “rebuilding phase” in the next few years, on a bet that Shatty Ice was the key to…

the Pens are literally the same team they were last year. I don’t see any reason the outcome would be different.

that clearly was a text amongs them. Not a text from anyone representing the establishment in question.

I think we’re all a couple of cans short of six-pack now.

I’m sorry, but I thought her speech was the worst of night. It was mostly incoherent, disorganized, oral diahrrea. You could tell there were some ideas in there somewhere, but it was all far too much of a mess to shine through the wordcluster. I’ll take pretty much every other speech ever.

Yep, that’s how I see it. The Penuins kept this squad together, and will keep these two goalies on for another run. And why not, you don’t get many shots like this, and any and everything is worth it for another cup. 

You win this round, Skimmy.

HAHA! way to blow your shitty remark.

Dear stupid people, the freedom of speech/assembly/expression/protest (if you wanna add that term now which was already included in the prior ideas) that you reference has a source. it’s the 1st amendment. It begins “the government shall make no law...”

Those TA’s who may only be a few years older than you are A) probably better a teaching than the professors, and are certainly closet to and more familiar with the material of your 100 level class. and B) when you went into the military, as you mention, did you get to ignore the orders of a superior if he/she was only…

Dear employees in any field and in any industry:

at least he didn’t launch into his “I knew a few girls during college who turned out to not to be so silent, don’t be like them...” rant.

What? people who worship magical sky zombies are not logically consistent??

Is there a means for me to direct my hate at Bruce Elliot for being a total fuckwitted killjoy?

Hamilton, you forgot to close with “bloggers are the real heros, send me the pizza, I’m starving!!!”

I think the idea was that Dennis is/was more connected to the LGBT community, but it did sound odd.

I do. Ask around teh NBA and WNBA, then a few accounting firms and see who’s willing to trade places. It’s not gonna be the people who play a child’s game for a living.

Jesus fucking Christ blowing matthew from the cross. Why are you even giving such an asshole more publicity?
