Yeah I liked him in the prospects game. Goaltending looks like a team strength.

It's a proportional response for sending us Piers Morgan, and I support it.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Members of the force's sports squad, responsible
- among other tasks - for policing the 170 miles of tunnels, caves, galleries and catacombs that underlie large parts of Paris, stumbled on the complex while on a training exercise beneath the Palais de Chaillot, across the Seine from the Eiffel Tower.
After entering the network through a drain next to the Trocadero, the officers came across a tarpaulin marked: Building site, No access.
Behind that, a tunnel held a desk and a closed-circuit TV camera set to automatically record images of anyone passing. The mechanism also triggered a tape of dogs barking, "clearly designed to frighten people off," the spokesman said.
Further along, the tunnel opened into a vast 400 sq metre cave some 18m underground, "like an underground amphitheatre, with terraces cut into the rock and chairs".

There the police found a full-sized cinema screen, projection equipment, and tapes of a wide variety of films, including 1950s film noir classics and more recent thrillers. None of the films were banned or even offensive, the spokesman said.
A smaller cave next door had been turned into an informal restaurant and bar. "There were bottles of whisky and other spirits behind a bar, tables and chairs, a pressure-cooker for making couscous," the spokesman said.
"The whole thing ran off a professionally installed electricity system and there were at least three phone lines down there."
Three days later, when the police returned accompanied by experts from the French electricity board to see where the power was coming from, the phone and electricity lines had been cut and a note was lying in the middle of the floor: "Do not," it said, "try to find us."

My other marathon runner tip (yes, I should have posted this yesterday): if somebody has a dog for you to pet along the route, PET THE DOG. Nobody cares if you finish 4:13:36 instead of 4:13:26.

Time and time again we're shown that there's no correlation between wealth and good sense.

I can't quite put my finger on it, but there are some weird accounts on here. I just can't explain it, but something seems off. Not even in a bad way, necessarily, just seems off.

It doesn't really affect me negatively, so I'm not complaining, but it's strange.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

You don't say?

It took a generation but the owners have successfully moved this burden onto the players.

It used to be "will [owner] spend enough for this team to win", and now it's "will [superstar] take enough of a haircut so his team can win." Owner now gets his 50% cut no matter what.

Also, first career goal for Rinzel, and this was a goal scorer's shot.

It has only been three games but the players you'd expect got off to a good start:
- Bedard is on a point per game pace with 2 goals and an assist.
- Teuvo is ahead of that pace with a goal and three assists.
- New contract man Frank Nazar has a goal and four assists.

(most have come at 5 on 5)

The Chicago Marathon morning is the 2nd best walk of shame morning of the year (after Halloween).

Good luck to anyone who had a really good Saturday night and woke up at some rando's house on the east side of the race course. With a little patience and determination you'll get home eventually.

Kaiser had a really good game. His 69.57% corsi for was the highest on the team, and his 73.86% expected goals for was also the team's highest. However, those stats were 5 on 5 and good lord, very little of this game was played at full strength.

Jeff Blashill suggested it was a good night for diving based on the officiating, but said, "We're not going to be a team that goes down light. We're going to be a team that palys through it."
