Jesus... Had a blizzard Thursday... another Saturday night/early yesterday, and now we have a third one that just started... We're looking at getting 50 cm (that's 21 inches) more snow by tomorrow.  Add that to 100 km/h (60 mph) winds and it's a wonderful day.........

Our storm Thursday morning had a foot of snow, changed to freezing rain and then rain in the afternoon, made a huge mess... The one Saturday night just had about 20 cm (8 inches) but the snow was drifting all day Sunday.  I had to go to work and it certainly wasn't a pleasant experience getting there.  Most of the entrances around campus were snowed in.

I agree with CC there... after rewatching the incident and considering his seven previous suspensions (most of which were of a very unsportsmanlike and over-aggressive nature) 12-16 seems more reasonable.

Halak got a shutout last night... yes it was against a very depleted Islanders team, but I think they should give him a chance to put together a few wins in the next couple of days, while resting Price for the playoffs.

Leafs are 6 points back but I think the bigger point to consider in the bottom part of the east is that the Panthers have won 6 straight and are now 4 points behind Philly.  Assuming that Pittsburgh holds on today, the Flyers will have lost 4 in a row and that causes a lot of potential interesting scenarios for 8th place.  I've never seen a playoff picture so uncertain with less than 10 games remaining.  The 1, 2, 4, and 5 seeds are changing daily.  3 points separate 6th and 8th, and 4 teams are within 6 points of 8th.

Pronger's infractions haven't been near as violent as Simon's though... Simon was fresh off a 25-game suspension when he got the last one.  I think 30 games would be too much for stomping, but given the circumstances and the player, it was justified.  I think Pronger deserves 10.  It's still stupid that the league messed up and didn't suspend him the first time.

She leads a normal life for the most part, as long as she takes her meds.  She eats whatever she wants and isn't supposed to eat anything spicy, tomato-based, cheesy or anything, but she eats it anyway.   Sometimes she has problems and needs to go to the emergency room and get fluids intravenously.  Over the past year, her symptoms have been worse so they've upped her dosage and she's going to see her specialist in a few months to maybe change her prescription.

I don't know anyone who has crohn's, but my girlfriend has ulcerative colitis, which is similar.

#566 Re: The Garden » The NHL 2007-08 Season Thread » 973 weeks ago

I don't think Pronger's was as blatant as Simon's, but it certainly deserves 5-10 games.  It's disgraceful that he wasn't suspended at all, when the league had access to all camera angles.

Are you talking about Crohn's Disease, as in the bowel/intestinal disease?

or was he always told what to do/play?

NIN is and was Trent, even the instruments.  The other guys are touring musicians.

The city shut down this morning... worst blizzard of the year.  We had a foot of snow and had wind gusts of 140 km/h (that's like 90 mi/hr).   It changed to rain about noon, but that just made a fucking mess.  Looks like it's snowing again now and we're looking at another 6 inches by noon tomorrow.  The wind has died back to 100 km/h, but this is just shitty.

Bus tour tomorrow (that's right, Slinger... more pissing in beer cans and throwing them at oncoming traffic) can't come soon enough!

Was Murder Incorporated on that album?

On a more serious note, who knows what else he wouldn't let her do... She was probably assaulted forever and went crazy.  It's pretty bad when she can't even listen to a CD... that's probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
