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).

don't get me started cz dz rz.... i had a nightmare of a time trying to speak the language when i lived in poland. plus masculine feminine and neutral on words? nightmare...

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.

Just. Score. First. And. Win.

Hey, Russian has the multi-gender thing, then the suffixes for verbs/adjectives/adverbs/etc. would change based on the gender of the subject and some other peripheral stuff. Russian also has some strange/difficult rules. But spelling was always fairly simple -- not as easy as Italian by a stretch, but nowhere near English or French in complexity. French, don't get me started there. You already have to do oral gymnastics with your tongue/lips to pronounce it, but then what's the deal with the silent letters and accents? Show me *one* word where adding an accent changes the pronunciation (ok, maybe that one is too easy -- show me a word that can take an aigue and a grave accents where the choice of accent makes a difference).

Scoring first will be huge, Lehner needs to make saves and they need to be early.

18-minute skate this morning.

Cussing terrible GDT bud

Correction: Best. Gameday. Thread. Ever.

Also, I predict a 6-1 victory tonight.

Didn't that result in a loss last time around?

But the alternative is a wahed-up, no-good Craig "Greg" Anderson.

I believe he's on the block.

So I assume he's being held out of the lineup because a trade is being completed as we speak.

See? *Boom*

It was Hallowe'en last night.

Score early. Score often. Just score. Giggety!

Aaaaalright!

This thread could use some more Quagmire.

What this thread REALLY needs is more consecutive posts by W. P. Rager.

And more cowbell...

Go Lehner!

That was only 4. Is it my fault that there's nobody here for 10 minutes? Shouldn't be hard to top that.

This is one.
