If you watch it, you'll know the line I'm talking about. This is a place to share the "things/devices/stuff" that you think are AWESOME and you personally endorse and recommend to friends.

Okay, so this came up in the Complaint Thursdays thread this week and since a lot of you seem to know your alcohol, figured I'd ask this here. I'm primarily a vodka drinker; I enjoy the clean taste and versatility in mixing, but I'm a little bored with it. I also enjoy light rum in a mojito during warmer weather, but I'd like to try whiskey or scotch. So what I'm hoping you guys might be able to help me with is: just how does one begin drinking whiskey or scotch? I'd eventually like to get to... Читать дальше...

From 31 Thoughts Podcast Elliott Friedman

I’ll tell you something, I’ve got to say this: I think the trade offers are going to be really interesting,” predicted Friedman while answering a listener question in the Ask 31 section of the podcast. “Buffalo is not trading their pick; but I think that even from 2 on down, I think there’s going to be offers. I don’t see Carolina trading their pick either. I think it’s more likely they keep the player.

“But I do think Montreal is going to get tempted... Читать дальше...

They have us adding Fabbri and Sheary, and trading RoR. Where RoR is traded to and for what, I don't know

Edit: Apparently to St.Louis for Fabbri, Kostin, and Hutton. That is an absolutely ###### absurd deal for them to predict. We get ###### shafted so hard in that

OFFICIAL: We've signed defenseman Lawrence Pilut. Pilut led all Swedish Hockey League defensemen with 38 points in 52 games last season for @hv71 and was named 2017-18 SHL Defenseman of the Year.

Welcome, @lpilut!

Carlson, Tavares, JVR are some of the top UFAs available.

I have included Matt Cane’s List of UFAs and RFAs and what he expects them to sign for.

I certainly would sign JVR for his projection, 3 years 5.5 Million and Calvin DeHaan 1 year 1.6 Million.

Although that’s a slight raise for JVR and a pay cut for DeHaan, I doubt either happen

For reference he has Samson on a 2... Читать дальше...

You are seeing more and more Dmen under 6'0 on these lists.

Kids I will be keeping a close eye on this year are:

1) Adam Boqvist - Swedish RHD. Arguably the best player in this years Ivan Hlinka Tournament.  5GP 1G 7A  (lottery pick)

2) Bode Wilde - RHD US National Team Dman who will be attending Harvard this fall. Читать дальше...

Please be realistic. I really have no desire to read a bunch of posts that claim Mittelstadt will beat up Thor while scoring 100goals. 

Ah never mind here it is just sign up https://bracketchallenge.nhl.com/leagues/sabrespace
