  1. Former walkons Chris Walker, AJ Forbes and Garrett Hustedt are headed to the FCS championship with Montana. Walker and Forbes are starters on the o-line and Hustedt plays a lot on the d-line. They decided to drop down a couple levels in competition and are now dominating. There’s a lot of FCS caliber talent in Nebraska.

  2. Also, the Pinto punishment and the Dadonov punishment are quite harsh. To get hit with two over the top sanctions in one week sucks. I dislike Gary Bettman very much. That is all.

  3. As a Sens fan, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a season like this one. The amount of absolute ridiculousness surrounding this team is crazy. From new ownership to Pinto to losing a first round pick to firing the GM, it’s one thing after another. I hope the drama is over and the boys can just play hockey for a while.

    Weren’t you the resident Ottawa fan, or was it someone else?

    They're looking much improved this season.

     

    Oops, my bad. The Sens fan is @default_28

    They do look improved, but they have no depth. Once the injuries start happening, they’ll struggle.

    Supper. Dinner. Same thing in my book. Some people argue that lunch is dinner. BS. There is breakfast, lunch and then dinner or supper.

    I’ve always heard that dinner was the highest calorie meal of the day. In the city most people had that in the evening when they could all eat together after working outside the home. In rural areas the family ate all meals together and farm work being very taxing, they had the big meal in the middle of the day. Now says it doesn’t really matter but the habit of calling the noon meal dinner is still common in rural areas.

  6. Hockey is the ultimate ‘I hate that guy, unless he’s on my team then I live that guy’ sport. Every team has a goon or at least a heel of some sort. But you hate them on the other team.

     

    example: 

    I’m a Sens fan so I like Brady Tkachuk. He’s the captain and he doesn’t let other teams push the Sens around. But I can’t stand Brendan Gallagher, Michael Bunting, Brad Marchand, Corey Perry and to a lesser degree Matthew Tkachuk. Does Brady play differently than the other guys on the list? He’s actually talented unlike Gallagher, but otherwise, no, he’s the same type of player. He crosses the line sometimes but mostly plays right up to the line. 
     

    however, if any of those guys ended up in Ottawa, I’d probably root for them if they helped the team.

  7. Aves can’t overcome the injuries and get sent packing by the Kraken. Lightning, Avalanche, Bruins are all out so it should be pretty wide open. The Vegas-Edmonton series should be a good one.

    Was channel surfing last night and stumbled upon the 30 for 30 about Bill McCartney. I’d never heard of it before, but opted to give it a watch. I know I see everything through my rose colored glasses, but good lord, what a jacka**. Hard to believe that clown got his own documentary. 

    His preoccupation with Nebraska was a strange theme in the documentary for sure. If there was any rival coach I would think he’d have respected, I’d think that Osborne would be it. Instead he came across jealous and insecure.

    This video really bothered me.  Man if you are wearing black pants and all black adidas shoes, you can't be wearing white tube socks....just no.   NO NO NO   Get this man some black adidas socks on the double.

    At least he wears socks. I can’t get behind people that wear shoes without socks.

    I thought you had to be a full time student to compete in sports?  I seem to remember the athletes at NU have to take 12 hours/semester.

    Wasn’t Matt Leinart famously only taking one class (ball room dancing) his last year at USC?

  11. Sorry @GSG that your Pens wet the bed.
     

    I will be cheering for any team playing the Bruins in the playoffs unless the Leafs face them in the second round. I don’t really like any of the Eastern conference options as a neutral. 
     

    Will be cheering for the Kraken in the west as they haven’t been around long enough for me to gain a distaste for them.

  12. The East is such a murderers row that whoever makes it out might be too depleted to win the cup. 
     

    The Sens are making a push so hopefully they don’t flirt with the playoffs only to fall short.
