GDT: Game LXV - PIT v BOS - 7:08 EDT

What are our forwards doing defensively tonight? We had a long video shift on defensive zone coverage the other day and our centers are just in garbage spots and then Kuhn is late to pick up the wide man Krejci who mons him going to the net...but Malkin and Sheahan are playing donkey-level defense.....

Job and General Employment Thread

I don’t like the nonsense questions. You can learn more about a person in that setting through conversation rather than a quiz about who their favorite power ranger is and why. A qualified candidate could get the yips. An unqualified candidate could skate by on BS. You have your track record, which...

Lunch

Yesterday I was travelling about the city, so I grabbed some Thanksgiving meal (turkey, stuffing, mash, string beans and carrots)...today is going to be simpler: buffalo chicken wrap on a spinach wrap with spinach and arugula and tomato, some flat bread crackers and hummus and some dried cherries.

I can't recall them all, most of them are made up while I'm schlepping through the mundane questions...the last one I used was...

Yeah, I generally have a group of 3, myself included. Puts me in a better position to ask some of my unusual questions. I'm batting just about 1.000 in hiring too. I manage a team of 10 currently in a company of 60-70, and it's considered by most to be the best team we got from a lot of perspectives...

Proper shot blocking technique for leaving feet is with the head towards the boards, chin is tucked, stick lined up along the center line of the front of the body to protect the chest, abdomen and, uh, your hog...the shin guards should remain in the shooting lane and direct line of the puck. This of...
