International Hockey

Pretty good USA-Russia game. 0:0 after 2 periods, but USA was the better team the last 10 minutes. Ovechkin rather invisible (not a big surprise given that he had to travel over 6 time zones), Malkin rather nervous and complaining constantly.

Well, it's official - Jagr isn't human. Jagr is god. Or Highlander.. GWG today, 6+3 for the tourney. 43 years old. Have you been watching the tournament closely, Tomas? Anyone stand out for you? Man, I wish the Pens could sign Sobotka for 3rd-line center (for no real reason why). Big, big fan of hi...

Colossal TV Show thread

I was finally able to watch the "12 Angry Men inside Amy Schumer" episode. I haven't watched Amy Schumer's show much until now, but this incredible comedy made me add her to my DVR list. Abso-effing-lutely amazing!! They were able to create a true, funny, yet honest homage to the original movie (whi...

Jiri Slegr can win Czech Extraleague title!!

56-year old title-less history of the smallest Czech Extraleague city is over. Litvinov won Game 7 2:0. Slegr did not play (though he put on skates and a jersey for post-game celebration). Hopefully he will retire now. 44-year old Rucinsky won his first career title in any adult hockey league he eve...

I don't want to create a new thread, so this may be the appropriate place: Even though I totally understand the importance of space exploration, I really don't know much about space exploration history, etc. On Thursday, Fred Haise, James Lovell and Gene Kranz of Apollo 13 fame will speak at the Uof...

Cars & Bikes, Driving & Riding

I need some expert help (so I am cross-posting on this and the other forum, because I want to reach the "experts"): I just went for my regular BMW maintenance visit (328 Xdrive, about 5.5 years, 45K miles). The dealer service replaced both front and rear brakes (and claimed that thanks to my extende...

Jiri Slegr can win Czech Extraleague title!!

The finals have the potential to be the most epic series in the history of the Czech Extraleague, ever. Litvinov was ready to close the series a few days ago, being ahead 3:1. In Game 5, Litvinov lead 1:0 until Trinec equalized 30 seconds before the final siren, when Trinec played without the goalie...

Jiri Slegr can win Czech Extraleague title!!

Slegr does not play in the playoffs anymore due to his huge back pains (frankly, he should not have played this year, period - it was a huge hazard with his surgically-repaired spine). However, played a good chunk of the regular season - 17 games out of 52, and quite successfully:4 G, 1A, +2, 26 PIM...
