Overall though, schenn is still a semi-weak scorer. And the facts are that scoring=monay! Kovalchuk's contract in general was pretty wasteful, if you consider how cheap everyone else is. For 10m per season, you could get a lecavalier and a mike greene, or 2 top 6 forwards. 10m just for kovalchuk though? I'd rather turn that 10m into pennies, and make a lifesize recreation of the entire tml franchise.

If stamkos doesn't get traded off, then he'll easily make 6-7m per season. Shenn maybe 2.4m, reimer maybe 1.3? Kovy's best years were in atlanta...period. Now that he's on another team/overhyped, he's never going to really be what he was a few years ago. Parise's gonna definitely be traded, due to the fact that the devils can't keep brodeur/kovy/him on the same team (cap space doesn't really allow for it). Expect parise to be anaheim/florida bound. As for the leafs, it seems that every year they play they fit the stereotype of the fat kid in gym class. They fail, they complain, and they overobsess about their losses, but everyone's glad to see them at least try.

Jersey overpaid huge for kovalchuk....and your 'he's getting paid 6m this year' fact is wrong. In all actuality, he's getting paid 10m this year, which is huuuuuuge strain on the 'meagre' cap. An even more interesting fact: the last 3 times that a team has won their conference back to back, they've gone on to win the cup in the 2nd of the 'back' years...well, all except washington has (jersey, detroit, pittsburgh)

Wow, that's scarily low. Recession more or less killed the states, I see...

108 for 15hrs? That's not minimum/possible, seeing as in most parts of canada/us, the min wage is over 10 bucks an hour.

In the 'general sense', you're fine. In the 'strategic sense', you could've gotten a bit closer by asking her specifically first if she'd be interested in coming to a party should you have one, before doing the mass text. Subtle/keen things like these may seem inconsequencial at first, but tend to differenciate between 'full on relationship in 2 weeks', and 'full on relationship in 2 months'. Oh, and good luck with it...mind you judging by what you've said happened so far, you're looking at a decent relationship w/ 12% chance of ruination.

Meh, realistic jobs can be dream jobs though. My cousin as a kid loved to shoot/snipe his teachers with paintball guns. 12 years later, and he's off in the middle east with more than 150kills under his belt.

Lol @mr adam: well, at least now you know who to go to when you want to expose a secret...if you know what I mean. In other news, I finally got the other half of my parents' insurance money. First thing I bought with my brand new cool 5m: a brand new wallet and 85 cents worth of bazooka joe.

Washington's goalies have been scarily consistant though, and even with jersey having brodeur/kovalchuk/parise/langenbrunner, they're still lacking the ability to shut down ovechkin, something that will ultimately cost them should they score the 8th seed. If they face philly though, then they have a shot, albeit not a good one. The only way they can stop philly is if they can take care of pronger/shut him down. If they can, then they'll lose to washington in the 2nd round.

My friend used to have a weird habit involving doors. Whenever he wanted to knock on one, he first had to poke himself in the wrist with a thumbtack. Habbit lasted 2 years, until he eventually lost the use of his right hand due to it.

@mask: why not? All the post-game crap in pkmn white/black is mostly worth doing. That and you literally gain access to every good pkmn in the series (namely tyrannitar, metagross, snorlax, and lucario). Oh, and you can add marvel: ultimate alliance 2 to the list. Found that game's fighting fun, but the story/overall game was cruddy beyond belief.

On bonus xp weekend? Wow, amitoz really has nothing better to do...lol. In all seriousness, good for them. Training agil during bonus xp weekend is pretty pointless, especially considering how quick it is compared to prayer.

Me fail inglish, thats unpossibel!

Meh, the leafs always do this though. They make a 'slight playoff run', then fail horribly. They're like the sabres w/o ryan miller.

Really yguy, really? They suddenly get one of the best, if not the best forwards in the nhl, and go from 2nd overall in the east to last, and you blame coaching for it? Any team with jersey's goaltending/forwards would be in the playoffs, coaching not really making any sort of difference. If jersey makes the playoffs, then they'll have to compete with washington's consistancy, and/or philly's 'dynasty-like' team. Can jersey beat that? Not at this time, maybe in a few years.

Anyone who actually watches hockey though would realize that new jersey have been cup contenders for years. This year, they aquire kovalchuk, and more or less 'give up/don't try'. Now that they change their coach, they magically start to win? Meh, even if new jersey makes the playoffs, they'll still be either doomed to washington or doomed to philly (both teams being 2 of my picks to advance past round 1).

If tampa makes it past the second round, then their coach will win the award. If pheonix makes it to the cup final, then their coach will win it. If the devils win the cup, then maybe, just maybe their coach will win it.

An infected stab wound to the stomach/'gut', obviously. Those wounds last 3-5 days before you die, the entire time you being in constant pain.

Well, to be fair, I more or less reread it out of the teenage-relationship help book that my little brother is reading. I guess it doesn't technically affect older relationships, but it is still a good guideline if you're wondering why your relationships aren't lasting too long.

Every relationship has 7 things which, if combined, allow for the best happiness/use out of it. They are: -good relationship with other's parents -good relationship with your parents -at least 5 shared friends -at least 3 shared hobbies/past-times -attracted by other's physical appearance -shared religion/'god beliefs' -tolerance of other's 'faults'

I saw gunless...definitely a funny movie. Also good to see the 'red green show people' making careers for themselves.

I actually find it kinda funny that they're bringing back older wrestlers...I guess they truly are running out of quality talent. It'd be a shame if they died off though, seeing as tna isn't as 'educational' as wwe....that and tna wrestling is 3 trannies off of being jerry springer.

Athiests who say 'god bless you' after someone sneezes...don't they not believe in that?

America isn't greedy, it's just....'Special'. Kinda weird how a country with a black-slavery related past can have so many white people saying that they feel 'oppressed'.

@demoli: got the trilogy for wii? I do, and imo, it makes playing them so much more enjoyable...that and you can conveniently go from game to game without switching disks. Oh, and I just started playing monopoly streets, seems like a fun game.
