And I could choose to take my pants off at any point but my co-workers wouldn't appreciate it. Well some might. Most, probably. OK my pants are coming off!

So is Schiefele a vet now?
You're never going to be able to define when a player has those qualities by age or number of games played... it's different from player to player. Might as well ask what age a player becomes a leader. And by your definition I would almost certainly say that yes, Schiefele is a vet.

Game 48 : Alexander @ The Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Team
I'd love to see Claude Julien here. Paul MacLean, I'm not so sure, his time in Ottawa was pretty average but their record was always at or above fake .500 which we can't say about Maurice so it's tough to argue with results. Dineen is totally unproven but probably at the top of my "coaching prospects" list.

Hey I already used that one! Climate change is almost certainly affected in some way by humans but taxing and destroying businesses isn't the way to stop it. Encouraging innovations such as electric cars and renewable energy like solar and hydro is the way forward. Taxing the public is just the lazy way for the government to say they're doing something about climate change.

That is just an awesome troll job on Rider fans. The whole article. Good stuff.

For some people, a "win" has nothing to do with the score. It's who has the youngest team that matters.

This isn't the first time they've done something like that. I honestly think the "Put something out there then remove it to make it seem like it was an accident" to fuel rumors is one of their strategies.

I think Edwards/Dunk throw a couple pieces of info at Hodge every now and then... I don't think they would let him publish something untrue.

How is it comparing apples-to-apples to compare a goalie with 1 game played to a goalie with 30+ games played and line up their "best games" against each other? That's total nonsense. It's also incorrect that Pavelec's sv % (.909) was worse than Hellebuyck's (.907). I don't disagree with your overall points but there's no reason to distort the facts to make those points.

I thought I saw that he is under contract to NJPW for another year. EDIT: Still no word on his future plans, but here’s a rumor killer on Kenny Omega. While there was never much chance he’d be in San Antonio seeing as his New Japan contract is in force through Jan. 31, Omega is scheduled for an appearance in Chile during Royal Rumble weekend, making it almost logistically impossible for him to be there.

Disagree. He has one of the strongest pure "characters" in the WWE. Almost everyone else is "just a wrestler". Very few guys can maintain a real character like Bray, or like Rusev as the Bulgarian Brute. His character is so strong that he doesn't need any titles to be relevant. Even when they put the tag titles on him, it was like it didn't even matter to him. That's why he's so great.

4M/year... So yes, a very good bargain. Plus Subban at 9M, two guys at 2.5 and 3.75 and the rest on entry-level deals.

So is Schiefele a vet now?
The term is meaningless apart from its technical definition (if a player is not a rookie they are a vet) so I'm not sure what your goal is in determining who is a vet and who isn't.

Pavelec was exactly what he's always been. Let in a couple softies, make an unbelievable save, and end up letting in 2-4 goals. Pretty familiar story. On the other hand you have Helle/Hutch who will either be unbeatable or let in 4 in 8 shots (something we've seen more this year than in 5 years of Pavelec). Do you want the rollercoaster ride or the consistently mediocre? I'm not sure either option is so great.

I'm not a Toby-hater as much as most people but he is quite overpaid no matter which way you spin it. But I am surprised the Jets D salary is the HIGHEST....

I guess it depends on the job. I've never worked at a company of that size, but then, I'm a developer not a sysadmin scrub. Big pay days are not hard to come by in Winnipeg if you work at a company that is small enough to not have corporate-defined pay structures, but big enough that they don't pay bottom-of-the-barrel wages. But you aren't going to find those jobs on a job board, gotta be well-connected to find them.

Yup, same old story. "Bring up the kids!" "We're the youngest team in the league already..." "Must be the coach then! Fire the coach!"
