ya ya ya.... try studying 12 hours a day and then not make any mistakes typing.

I am a student of life. I study 24 hours/day! Truth is it's the freakin' English language. Not enough letters for all sounds so you have to use two sometimes (ee, oo, oa, ch, sh, etc.); words spelled differently but pronounce the same; words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently (e.g. lead); even words that change pronunication when you capitalize them (e.g. polish versus Polish).

Over/under on wprager ref complaints: 5.5

I could only hope it's that low.

I'll take the under on that. Ottawa will win tonight, and win big. Ref complaints tend not to surface as much when Ottawa wins.

Oh, no, I complained in the Detroit game as well.

Now, keep in mind, they are righteous complaints.

Story lines for tonight:


1. Monster Mash lineup (Neil with Spezza, Methot not with Karlsson, *and* playing the right side, etc.)
2. The return of Peter Regin and Matt Carkner.
3. #FreePageau

OMG, check who is leading the league with the worst Shot Attempts against per 60 minutes (this is the number of shot attempts taken by the opposition when a particular player is on, in 5-5 situations, normalized to 60 minutes):

Cowen (40.9) and Wiercioch (40.6). Phillips and Methot are next on the team at 31.7, then Karlsson at 31.2 (they don't have Gryba or Corvo listed).

This is basically what I have been saying the entire time without looking at the stats.
