Might be the right thing to do in the long wrong. Better to work it out now than to have it linger for a while and then take him out long term.

It's a good opportunity for Regin if it happens, that's for sure.

That's my new favorite expression. Now I just have to find a time and place to use it.

It's actually freakingly appropriate in this project we're kicking off. The "long wrong". It's just so right, but it's also potentially a CLM.

I'd love to email brennan....'did you enjoy the pwnage?'

seriously, it was a pretty stupid question to ask too.....when did you make your decision? uh.....I haven't. oh...when will you?

What is everyone's predictions for the game?

I say 4-2 ottawa wins!

"Ottawa's Magic Number
164"

Am I missing something?

Wait, obviously I'm missing something...let's try this again.

This is what happens when you take breaks from lecture writing by writing posts. Too much writing altogether for me this past few weeks!

For the record, I'm actually an editor of 5+ years experience, in the (part-time, contract-based) employment of a publishing house that rivals with Norton and Longman. Not that my posts lately are providing much evidence for that lately, I confess, but I thought I'd defend my good name (!). I've been seriously overworked since September started.

82 games x 2 points a piece = 164 possible points out there for the Sens to grab.

That's my guess.

Correct! (your math skills haven't suffered from the overwork )

In order to make the playoffs, the sens would need to accumulate a total of 164 points made from a total of their current amount of points and the average point total of the bottom 8 teams.... so right now it doesn't mean much... but just watch

Spezza not playing for sure?

If not the game got a LOT harder tonight.

It's not 100% for sure that he won't be playing, but if I were a betting girl I'd put money on him NOT playing. Why risk further injuring his groin?

Clouston said as it stands now it's 50/50.

Rumoured to be out until Washington on Monday.

Le is booked.

Just to be clear, Rooney, I was not making fun. It was clearly a sleep deprivation-induced mis-type, but it was very funny in a somewhat Freudian slip kind of way.
