  1. The hype is similar. The smallish, one dimensional offensive D man that teams are hoping to sign. I'm really holding off any expectations. It's entirely possible they reached for the shiny object that they already have.
  2. I don't know man. I'm getting a Matt Gilroy vibe. I don't think any smallish offensive minded D men are a sure thing. I'm reserving my expectations. As recently as last season we have seen sure things like Lias Andersson shit the bed. So much so that I wouldn't be surprised if he were packaged with a D man (Shattenkirk, Smith, Staal, Pionk), to clear cap room and spots.
  3. It isn't feasible. Four offensive minded D men who are really not good in their own end? When has that ever worked? No coach is putting that many liabilities on the ice in one game. They really need to move two of the four. I highly doubt they don't qualify Pionk. Quinn gushed about him all season. He's coming back if he's not dealt.. As much as I want to see a fresh face that has all this hype, I don't see Fox as an automatic. Not with Pionk being a guy Quinn loves, then there's DeAngelo, who they can't send down, and then there's Shattenkirk, who they likely won't find a taker for. Even if they did... Pionk, DeAngelo, Fox is just weak and inexperienced as fuck, to have out there. Realistically. What is Pionk worth? Are we all too hard on the youngster? He really did stink out there, but this team was a black hole. What do the Rangers flip him for? Are fans going to be happy with a 4th round pick?
  4. Where is he playing?? You have DeAngelo whom is a guy that must be on the roster or he has to clear waivers, and he can hardly stick in the starting lineup as it is. Then there's Pionk, who I can't stand. Plus Shattenkirk. Fox is an outstanding prospect, but he doesn't fill a need. How many right PP "specialists" do you need? He doesn't offer anything that they don't already have. Everyone is running Shattenkirk out of town and that's understandable, but I focus on dealing Pionk FAST. Im not at all comfortable using him in a top two role, or even a top 4. Eating Shattenkirk money seems like more of a burden than it is to keep him. Is Fox definitely NHL ready? Are they still going for Trouba? WTF are they doing?
  5. Looking at what the other big names got in trade I think the Rangers did really well here and in the other trades. I think this move helps advance the rebuild and development of Andersson and Chytl. They are going to play and play a lot. Andersson should get a bigger role and I think it's great. Let them play. They already burned an entry level year. I'm not sure the team even takes a huge step back. Let's just hope for Winnipeg to get swept in round 1. Hope Lemieux can log some minutes and find his niche and provide energy and a little protection for the kids.
  6. Did I miss something? Why would he mention Mottau?

    People who think an acceptable chicken cutlet is more than a 1/4 thick. Seriously. I am eating a chicken "cutlet" hero and the piece of chicken it's over an inch thick. FUCKING UNACCEPTABLE.
  8. Take off wheel. Go to gas station. Duh. Come on man.
  9. Just wondering what assurance do you have that a part time job will definitely become full time? I worked in nursing homes when I was younger, and most places constantly kept part time positios to fill full time lines. Kind of seemed like a way for them to not have to pay full time benefits. They would always say that a full time line would open eventually, but never did, in 3 different companies.
  10. God. It wasn't very good. The small crowds are sad.Then the horrible camera work and audio (same guy trying to get chants started right next to the mic'ed camera). Some of the in ring stuff was down right bad. But WWE has been just as bad. I'm shocked there aren't more serious injuries by botched or fucked up moves. Nevermind the horrible selling or over selling that happens on their screw ups. Clear misses by 12 inches... Again that's both companies.. There was some funny back stage stuff though. I'll definitely give it another shot.

  12. Gotta say John Morrison is the shit. Loved what I saw from him in Lucha Underground. Unbelievable how the WWE couldn't get this guy over. I'm going to start DVRing impact and check it out. WWE just sucks. So much talent is being wasted on shit storylines. It's turning fans against would be talents like Lashley, Stromam, Samoa Joe and even Baron Corbin. Can't find AXS on optimum/cable vision.

    I'm not sure that's accurate. I always thought it was things that people do, or things that happen often, that annoy you. Not so much leaning towards things MOST people don't mind.
  15. Insulate that attic. Insulation works both ways. I'd definitely duct down to the first floor too. Heat rises. Id think you're pretty much cooling more than you have to. Venting is often an issue for inefficient CAC. Make sure your return vent is up high if you are attached to a forced air system If not, it's going to be an issue) Also make sure you have the heat out vent blocked. Makes a huge difference.
  16. Gotta admit I overlooked this kids size. 6'4 180 at age 18... Hope he can be elite.

  18. Where can one watch these promotions? WWE is really bland now.

  20. I hate it. Sounds like 80's pop. And they sucked in Charlie Benante. Fuck, hes my favorite drummer.
  21. All are in dog shit storylines and the AJ vs Nakamura rivalry is falling really really short on expectations after hearing about some past legendary matches. Rollins title win was super lame. Terrible finish to a pretty shitty and uneventful ladder match. McIntyre likely won't last long. They have too many names on the RAW roster and I can't see a spot for him to make a niche with Stroman, Lashley, Owen's, Reigns, Rollins, Balor, Ziggler, Elias, Mahal, Corbin, Hardy and a few others who are still awaiting their push and their run. There's a few that may get the strange push due to fan reaction, like Breezango whom I think are hilarious due to its ridiculousness. Unless they start pairing these guys off in pointless tag team runs, there's just no room for anyone to rise up. After failing to utilize Samoa Joe, after some really good matches, the guy still has no strap and was cast off to shitty Smackdown. I don't see guys like Roode or McIntyre doing any better than Joe or Stroman did. They're here to job to Reigns and Lesnar. Which is already tiring. A few of these guys need to go to Smackdown so they don't get stale and want to leave. There's nothing there anymore. Just Bryant and Styles, with Nakamura. Gallows and Anderson probably get their push now. But that show is dead in the water. This is probably the best wwe roster in a long time. Too bad they have nothing interesting enough to latch on to. They really suck at making rivalries. There's nothing going on now that is must see. Nothing brewing as the continue to figure out how to get Reigns over and whether or not they want to commit to Ziggler, as a guy to put on a run (I hope not). I see a future of dead end pointless storylines with a soon to be unhappy roster. Hopefully I'm wrong.
