I have GTA 5 and XBone, but haven't played it in a while. Destiny is and has been taking up a lot of my gaming time. Starting to get a little repetitive, but it's the first time in a long time that I've been able to play a game online with friends of mine that isn't CoD or Halo.

I'd say the problem RE:rich people in congress begins and ends with what it takes to get on a ballot and build a support group. You have to consider advertisements, payments to get yourself on the ballot (not sure if this is still a thing, but I recall it being so from a 10th grade US Govt. class), ...

We couldn't field a complete team because we had 3 players making something like $17 mil in cap space (off the top of my head, Hornqvist is at $3.5, Ehrhoff $4, Malkin $9.5. Could be off) unable to play because of injury, but also unable to be put on LTIR. There's almost nothing Botterill or any GM...

the injury thing isn't an excuse because we were the most injured team last year and almost lead the conference in points Isn't the typical "excuse" for always being at the top of the conference because we have Malkin or Crosby on our team? Sure, having at least one of them will win you games more ...

I like Spaling's game, and am not too concerned with his cap hit. We didn't have Winnik to start the year, so I'm not sure the relevance there. Spaling is good because he can move up and down the lineup, if needed, and not look entirely out of place. He's a solid two-way player who can contribute o...

If my post in the injury thread is any indication, the injuries do play a part (how big is up for debate) in how a team will perform. Sparknotes: The 3 teams that have won a Cup in the last 4/5 years (Chicago, LA x2, Boston) have been 27th, 29th, and 30th in that timeframe in terms of man-games lost...

Might have been the first poster I ever had.

How can you fault the coach when he continually calls out his team for lack of effort. He cant even change the lineup because we have zero cap space. This isnt Johnson's fault IMO, the front office really messed this up. I'd say it was more of the last front office that really messed this up. Imagi...

I think people need to be more patient with HCMJ. It's extremely hard to change a team and their mindset in less than a year. As we saw with the Capitals, they had to go through 2 more coaches after Boudreau was fired to reach the level (or come close to it) that they were around when Boudreau was s...

PR looks like it picked up, obviously due to the loss and the people who tend to come out of the woodwork after such a thing.

No, Bennett. You were referring to him in the post immediately before mine.

Can we pose a ban on any Rob Rossi articles on this site?

To be fair, he turned the puck over like 6 times trying to skate it in on his own.

I tried looking on Wikipedia. Nothing notable.

lol

Sorry, but I'm here. Thanks for all the invites I received. Hopefully we can talk about hockey here...

Took you long enough

Billy Guerin was one of my favorite non-Pens before he came over here.

Also Teemu.

I fail to see what Geno and Horny coming back could spark this team. This year has been exhausting!

You fail to see how one of the best players in the world can help the team get back on track?

At the very least, team shot percentage *should* increase, with both Malkin and Hornqvist.

And now it's time for, "Guess the post-game stock answer from Crosby!" http://i.imgur.com/kBg2Xtx.gif Will it be... 1) "We just didn't match their energy"? 2) "We played good enough, but we just did not get the bounces"? 3) "We know we're not playing good enough, and we have to get better"? 4) A wi...

I jinxed it.

You guys really think Crosby is the problem?
