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

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...

I mentioned I was in the Queen City yesterday. Did I see a picture of Cellino of Cellino and Barnes on a Cellino Plumbing truck? Twin? Side gig?

Spinning off of the hobbies thread, it looks like many of us spend time with a good book (or three). So what are you currently reading?

For work/school:

Just finished CCTV and Policing by Benjamin Goold (2004). A study of how camera center operators make decisions about who to target for surveillance, and how CCTV has affected police work.

In queue I have Theorizing Surveillance: The Panopticon and Beyond and Surveillance Studies: An Overview, both by David Lyon.

For pleasure:

I think there is a thread for this already, but I could not find it.

A good friend and I watched *Tooth Fairy* last evening.

He got it for his kids to watch in 2010.  It was really good, surprisingly enough.  A hockey themed tooth fairy tale.  Two grown men with tears in their eyes at the happy ending.

I'll admit to despising the Call of Duty series now, but back in middle school and high school I spent hundreds of hours playing them.

I'll start:

If you haven't seen what Ovie has done in the last 48 hours... you're missing it. It's awesome. The cup keg stand was one of my favorites.

Last night I deviated from my intended routine and felt compelled to catch up on "Parts Unknown".  I grabbed a glass of whiskey (I almost always have something when watching this show) and loaded up the episode on Armenia.

Preliminary Prospect Rankings are now coming out.  

Craig Button released his yesterday:

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

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

While this forum sure likes sitting on their computers or phones wasting time talking about food, beer, liquor and sometimes even sports, I can't imagine we're all maintaining a sedentary lifestyle.

So let's have a thread about it. We can discuss what we do for exercise, our fitness goals, accomplishments, failures, questions, etc.

As for myself I'm an active cyclist, beer league hockey player, and I run when the tendonitis in my knee isn't acting up. Thanks to my job and all of... Читать дальше...

This thread is inspired by this video:

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
