Major ouch. Hope you feel better Dan. Try to find some position that is the least uncomfortable and arrange pillows and furniture....

Happy Birthday!!

Wow....that was lucky! Train-riders probably looked and said, "Not Beats....don't want 'em"

So Ottawa and Pittsburgh....I think the Pens are way too fast for the 1-3-1 trap that the Sens have. Though i thought the same about the Rangers and they lost. But Pens are a step above that - maybe a BIG step. Ottawa may just run out of steam, but their run has been almost epic. Karlsson has been playing near-lights-out, with a hairline fracture in one foot. Amazing..... Haven't seen to much of the West games, but just would like to see Nashville go forward, having never been that far.

Whoa.....echo the "take care of yourself" and "hope it improves" sentiments! The next Risotto will have to be extra special!

Dinny, know what you mean. They were built with speed, strength and skill. I really thought they'd do what the Bruins couldn't; and the Bruins were so close despite many injuries (and lousy ref calls/non-calls). Going to be glued to the TV tonight for Pens-Caps. I don't have any preference at this point, except the Pens won last year. So go Caps! For the West, I want Nashville all the way now.

RIP to Col. Hampton and Robert Miles.....and yeah, Stretch, I seem to hear that sampled song a lot in the background.....

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday! Come back and give us a life update one of these days!

Yup! Pen's were manhandled. 3 Game 7's coming up, hoping for four!

Happy Birthday (again) !

Hmmm, plaid shirt, too. Is Justin slowly becoming hipster????

Won't be making this one, unfortunately. High School graduation for my son the night before, and parties the weekend..... Had a great time last year! Always a good show and after-show.....

Yeah, thinking the Rangers figured out what to do with the talent they have. If Boston had more (or maybe even just less injuries), it may have been B's and Rag's in round two. But happy to see NY getting their game on..... Boucher's 1-3-1 trap is mighty boring. Can anyone beat Pittsburgh, though?! Even without Crosby..... Their second-tier players are really coming through, despite an occasional Bonino-embellishment

Well, fuck, this is what I get for not paying attention to upcoming releases.....Jeffrey Lee Pierce lives! At least in some unreleased/resurrected songs.....

Agreed with above, several of the posts. I found that - once things like the USB interface are treated/isolated/re-clocked/whatever - the cables make less of a difference. One of my favorites now is a used Wireworld Starlight 7. Lists for maybe $100, got it for less than half that. Well-made, and a step above a well-shielded "gold" cable. The margin of return (sound for $) drops real fast for me....

Yes, surprising! With the Bruins having so many injuries, they really still could have taken the series (or at least brought it to seven games) without idiot ref calls. I thought the combo of the Rangers strength, scoring, and speed - along with the way King Henrik played in round 1 - would make it so they would handle the Sen's easier than the Bruins did. But yeah, they keep hanging on......

Oh, wow.....RIP......he did a lot with music as well......

Bruins losing made me feel bad. Ref's skewed a few too many things, but Bruins were also without 2 of their top-3 D-men, mostly without their 2nd line center, and had some other injuries as well. And the Senators just outplayed them. Hats off to Ottawa, with few exceptions they are a tough team to hate. The handshake line, and the way Erik Karlsson handled himself, just oozed class and good grace. He's a great player and a credit to the game. Now I root for someone other than the Pens in the East. Would like to see Ovie get a ring, but can also root for the Rangers and King Henry. Not sure who I want in the West. I don't dislike the players in Edmonton, but I DO hate the fact that they tanked so much to get such talent. We'll see what happens.....

Needs moar wood Seriously, looks nice and comfy, and sounds like it SOUNDS nice, too....

Shit....I write goodly....where's my discount? Well-played Birgir. Now watch to see if he tries to bad-mouth anything Mjolnir. You'd have a great message to post about it! I would assume he'd be smart enough NOT to do something as stupid as that....but one never knows.

RIP Michele, so tragic. And tragic for Erin as well.....RIP too.

Boston extends at least one more game.....despite the refs' best attempts at fucking the Bruins over. The reffing has been bad a lot this year, and in these playoffs. But it seems that too many game-changing calls/non-calls have hurt the Bruins this series. They lost in OT last game after a roughing call that was MUCH less than non-calls during the game. And two calls last night went against the Bruins: a goaltender interference call (that was questionable; someone posted an even worse interference call in the Rangers/Montreal series that was allowed as a goal), and a missed call for an Ottawa D covering the puck in the blue paint. I am admiring what the Bruins are doing without 3 of their starting defensemen, and their best scorers not raising their game (one is likely hurt, and maybe re-injured in the last game by a knee on knee hit/trip that of course wasn't called). Some youth has stepped up, and it has their future looking a bit better. But would love to see them fight through and take this series...just not sure they have enough in them.

Yup, big problem in the Northeast so one "expert" has told me. The White-Nose fungus spreads easily, kills hard..... At times when warm and wet winters lead to massive mosquito populations, bats would be a welcome addition for me.....
