This guy's sorry he's late
But he came all the way from the 80’s to give his thumbs up on cap space improvements.

Is that Max Headroom?
Mega early on the GDT, too. Nice.
Colorado’s return to earth starts tonight.

You are correct sir…
Unrelated:
I haven’t been paying attention to Colorado this season, but I was really rooting for the Caps to pick up Cody McLeod from the Avalanche when I’d seen him in action in his 1st two years. Not a particularly big point scorer but their #1 penalty guy. He did get 2 goals and a fighting major in a game against Detroit in October.
I’m gonna miss most of the game but I’ll DVR it and check it out later. I’ll probably catch the end with Sct112 after my team is done eviscerating his team; if he’s not too shamed to share a beer with me. Hopefully I’m not immediately enraged when I head down to Bailey’s after the game. Go Caps!

Even he is better than ShaMo? And Pothier is out, too, so they need a warm body on D?
Best I could come up with…
"You're gonna eat that g**d**n Koho, three!"
But ShaMo is in as well. Jurcina is out.

People were saying it before: if you want to trade em you gotta show em.
If you don’t put em out you don’t get em out
In my mind, Erskine has zero trade value. But in any case, whatever trade value he has, it isn’t likely to change much with a few games. He’s a known commodity.

That’d be cool, and we’d all appreciate the insights, but first and foremost enjoy the game. Don’t miss a goal because you’re typing on a tiny screen.

Ugh
been dreading this one for a long time, my wife is a diehard Avs fan and shes excited (rightfully so) about her team this year. This house is definitely divided and we’ll see if it stands after tonight…
I think tonight’s game may be one of the most important of the season so far, for whatever that’s worth. There’s the need to get back on track after an awful week, start the road trip off right, game 1 of the “Alzner’s here to stay” and “Nylander is gone” eras, and it’s against one of the top teams in the standings. December tilts don’t get much bigger than this.

Its actually a video game reference, from a fairly old game, so I think that makes us the dorky ones
For some reason it doesn’t feel that old. Maybe cause the movie came out a couple years ago and Dirge of Cerberus and whatnot. :S
But wow now that I think about it, it is fairly old.
Yeah I was like 8 or 9yrs old! I got the game a year or two after for the PC since I never had a PS. I still have it, but never completed it. I have a horrible track record of never finishing games, haha.
I’m in the same boat about finishing games. I still have N64 games I never finished.

One thing I love about Japers Rink:
D-bags like MHBears are few and far between.
Guys, guys, guyyyys….I am spelling it CINDY Crosby. Like the girls names.
I came over to see what Varlamov’s time table is for his return and I get treated to MHBears wittiness.
Anyways, you guys should all be watching this game until the Caps game starts. Very good. Even if CINDY dominates the Flyers.
We are, and we are.
Varly is traveling with the team and laced up his skates today. That doesn’t mean he’ll be playing anytime soon, but it does mean he gets to help pay for the rookie dinner.
We’re crossing our fingers and thanks for asking.
ALEX, FЯEE
Dude, unnecessary. No need for that. You know that people do the same thing with Ovechkin over on Pensburgh. Sometimes you just have to let it slide. Varlamov is on the trip so he presumably could be playing within the next couple games. This game has been good… for my fantasy team!
You're the reason that I hate Nova Scotia.

Point taken. I went a little too far with it. I apologize.
Also, to address a post above – I don’t care that Ovechkin has played like 10 less games than Crosby. The fact that they have the same number of goals is fine with me. I wouldn’t have believed you if you would’ve said before the season that they’d have the same number of goals after one game.
You getting the PIMs out of this game F&B? Or do you have Crosby?
It’s all good. I have Crosby and MAF so right now it’s looking alright. Also have Gooch and Gogo but they haven’t done much yet.

Fair enough. But if it’s not applicable to the real world then it defeats some of the purpose, no? Plus, in economic terms I was raised by Austrians so “real” economists are always so condescending about it. I’m more about the logic of it than the numbers because of some of the points I’ve alluded to.

Sure, but I don’t know how much it’s worth. The biggest (and simplest) pieces of advice I have are:
- Apply early. The government takes forever to go through job applications
- Preview listings for the types of jobs you might be interested in on USAJobs.com and see if there’s anything you can do in the meantime to make yourself a better application by looking at the ‘Qualifications and Evaluations’ tab and reading the questions if you can.

I would say for government entry level jobs (if that’s where you’re at) three months is fast, five-six is average, and nine is long.
Oh, also! Two more things.
- If you can, talk to someone in HR and ask what kinds of answers they want to KSA questions. I’ve heard ‘write everything you can’ and I’ve heard ‘be succinct’, so…
- Part of the reason the process takes so long is that applications generally go through OPM before they get to the agencies. If you find a job you want that’s hiring via the Federal Career Intern Program (FCIP), go for it. That gives agencies the authority to hire directly, so it’ll probably take longer and you’ll probably get people who are more qualified to evaluate your credentials.

I can also vouch for most of the above points. I have an MBA, and the experience of getting one has been invaluable in my job since then. It forces you to think, forces you to communicate effectively both verbally and in writing. Being a military officer for 8 years prior to grad school certainly helped my discipline and time management skills.
I can also say that getting a government gig now is a great route to go. I’m personally a defense contractor (better $$$ and easy for ex-military to get).

I would love it if that prediction were true. But I’ll settle for the Caps winning tonight. (And, of course, no key Caps player going down with injury.)
I have my priorities straight.
Rocking the Red since 1975
No injury is tops on my list. Ima thinking the Caps win tonight, win in Canuckistan, and then stink it up in EDM. I’m more than willing to be wrong on that third part.
ALEX, FЯEE
Right. Sometimes the bold predictions get real close, so maybe we’ll get lucky.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
As far as I’m concerned a win is a win is a win. Especially for this road trip sans Varly. Wins are hard enough to come by in the NHL, particularly in on the road. I’m not going to sweat the style points. And agreed on the no injuries.
by BradleyFightingVehicle on Dec 15, 2009 7:39 PM EST up reply actions
I was referring to the win, because style points don’t get you anything. Although in Theo’s case, he could sure use the style points for his save pct and GAA.
"The Caps fan doesn't say, 'is the glass half full' or 'is the glass half empty'. He wonders when the glass is going to spill."
Sorry if I wasn’t clear, I was agreeing with you about the win. I was just adding my own opinion that while a pretty 3-0 win, like Puck Daddy predicts, would be nice, I’d be happy with a 4-3 win.
Also agreed that Theo’s GAA and Save % could use the style points.

The Caps do seem to have a better track record for winning games where no one gives them a chance of winning, like the San Jose game.

How on earth could we possibly be the favorites in tonight’s game? We’re playing a team who’s doing well on their home field who has a hot goalie. While we don’t exactly have a hot goalie we can play.

The start to that Philly PP was terrible, they looked like peewees out there after winning the faceoff cleanly
And Pronger was supposed to put the Flyers “over the top” for Stanley Cup contention. Now they’re in lottery team contention.
I still think the Flyers have too much talent to be a lottery team. By the “law of averages”, they’ll do better in the second half of the season. (I also remember Pittsburgh’s bad play during a period during December/January of last season where they fell into 10th place. And got hot after firing their coach and hiring Bylsma as coach. Still, in spite of their bad stretch, they were much better than a lottery team.)
Rocking the Red since 1975
I truly thought the addition of Pronger to their crew of 20 goal scorers was going to be enough to overcome shoddy goaltending and push them to the top of the East.
Shows how much I know.
They also have been pretty plagued by injuries and i think they will improve and get hot once gange, emery, and others return and they get more used to lavi, hopefully that takes too long for them to get in the playoffs though
You know it’s bad when Carcillo is playing on the powerplay.

You weren’t alone. Even with Emery in net I was real afraid of PHI this year. Now they are going to have to scramble just to make the playoffs and I don’t think they have the goaltending to ein the east right now and can’t afford an upgrade without giving up an important piece.

Staal and Guerin injured on the same shift, each hit by a slapper. Both limped off on their own power without a stoppage.

haha, it was a fun drinking marathon, that’s for sure – getting to the bus at 11am on sunday was not so fun. made better, of course, by continuing that drinking marathon last night at a holiday party and not getting home until 4:30am… oops? (probably why i’m so tired right now)
p.s. anyone ever been to crocodile lounge? buy a beer, get a free (personal sized) pizza – pretty awesome.

Hi all
Just got in .. Turned the game on in time to see Flash score.
Wilson with the assist. looking good
If you don't wanna get hit, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP!
Wow, pretty awful turnout for a game against the league leader in points. Pretty surprised at the lack of fans.
tuesday night, non-division rival…i thought the same thing. was even more surpised earlier this year going to the canes game when san jose was in town.
Not just against the league leader in points – the Avs are up there in the standings too, its insane.

Denver’s at a high altitude, making it a bit harder to take in air. Coaches don’t want the players to get too gassed.

Semin and Laich haven’t gotten much ice time, according to the statistics.

Great stickwork by Baxter in the neutral zone there.
