1984Echoes

Not as painful as the horseshit that comes out of Archie Bunker's mouth.

That would be kickass.

No puck control. Larionov needs to come over here and teach these guys a thing or two...

If it comes to war, here is what I hope for: Ukraine holds off Russian forces, and makes them pay dearly as you've stated. Poland and Lithuania declare war on Russia as an existential threat and invade Kaliningrad and Byelorussia; and Romania send 40,000 troops to Ukraine in support... Stalemate. Putin backs off.

Damn, Larkin scores for a 1-goal game and 4 1/2 min's to go...

Especially if she can tear apart the joke that is Clarence Thomas. Rip him a new one. Let him retire out of frustration and beration.

Pretty crappy looking game for the Red Wings. Very little in the way of puck control, crisp passing, or stick handling. Team wide they look outclassed talent wise... and it's all in the ability to control the puck... or not. The Blackhawks are constantly taking pucks right off of Red Wings sticks. And Seider just scores a PP goal on a feed from Raymond...

PS: Yes on Marin.

No... the smart play is still to declare Permanent Neutrality. But the flipside is that that is not necessarily the safe play because Putin may have no respect for them regardless. So may be it's smarter to tough it out and maintain progress towards Democracy, the West, the EU, and NATO... But what I want... is for Russia to back down in the face of a united front against them.

They need 3 Bertuzzi's... one for each of the top 3 lines.

I'm an atheist. So I'm pretty happy with separation of church and state. I have no interest in living in a theocratic fascist country like Iran.

And Bertuzzi's line is the hot line again... So... we may have a #2 line with Bertuzzi-Suter-Fabbri...

4-3... Nice goal by Suter with Bertuzzi screening...

So is it Ned's fault?

That doesn't do it for me. I prefer to be a little more plain and to the point: He's a Russian Stooge. Just like TFG was, boot-licking Putin hoping to get a Trump Tower Moscow. Carlson has taken over for TFG as Putin's Official Boot-Licker.

Tucker Carlson = Russian Stooge.

PS: I think it is.

But since we are the world leader (by past reputation-only at this point...) in promoting Democracy... I am fully on board with the U.S. having a massive say in what happens in Ukraine. They want freedom. They want Democracy. They want the EU and NATO. They do not want Putin's fascist dictatorship. So we can provide weapons, sanction the F out of Putin/ Russia/ oligarchs, we can yank Russia out of SWIFT (Germany opposes that; but they are tied to the hip economically with Russia (read: Russia's oil and gas)), I would bulk up our forces like crazy in Poland and Romania and the Black Sea. I'm sick of Putin's belligerence and attacks (cyber) on the U.S. and other western democracies. And he has attacked the U.S., he is not innocent of that. I'm glad Biden is standing up to him in a big way. I would do everything possible (which I believe he is doing) short of a direct war between the U.S. and Russia to thwart Putin's designs.

Right... I agree with the second part. But for the first part: you were saying China was going to effect a slow takeover of Taiwan, just like Hong Kong... as if it were a done deal. I don't think it's a done deal just because China "wants them". They might not get what they want. In fact, I'd love to see the reverse take place... Xi's regime suffer some ignominious defeat (economic/ political/ not military) and Taiwan offer to institute, and implement, a Democratic Reform over mainland China. It will never happen but... you know... dreams of sugar plums and fairies.

What hypocritical horseshit. He stonewalled with a year to go in Obama's term. And then rushed Amy through in under a month to go in Trump's term (election, that is... in which he was voted OUT). I'm calling BS. Or were you just trying to trigger...?

England basically "owned" Hong Kong. And agreed to hand it over on a timetable, just like we handed over the Panama Canal to Panama... under agreement. No one "owns" Taiwan, despite all China's whining. It isn't the same thing.

Republican Fascist Scum. Trump Supporters are Scum.

Yeah, he's not going to be OC anywhere. To MB's point, he's under contract. And he's stepping away because he's burnt out. If anything might work, it would be doing work as a "Consultant". I'm not certain how that works contractually. But let's say we hire an OC, internal or otherwise (but especially if internal); and we asked Payton to help us design plays/ an offensive scheme/ whatever... and it could be multi-year work... But he wouldn't be an official part of the team and the scope of work and amount of work (contracted hours) would be limited. Probably a few teams might be interested in Payton on that basis.

That out of the top 4 records (Dodgers, Yankees, Cardinals, Rays) there are only two World Series wins between them: Cardinals 2011, Dodgers 2020. I love that because it's a non-subtle "Suck it Yankees!" message...

Lots of players without a job at the moment... I think sensibility and or reasonableness may have the upper hand... rather than one side or the other...
