I'm never quite sure if you're misspelling county or really just want NJ to be their own country.

They need to add another criterion: Do fans actually give a @#$!%! about their team?
I say country because it might as well be. I've traveled a lot and every time I mention I'm from New Jersey I always end up having to defend it for no reason.

Me too!
I'm in the wedding but im also doing the MCing and wedding party intros which should be interesting after the open bar during the cocktail hour.

I don't like ESPN polls, they used to be filled with so much optimism:

I'm hoping my awesome MCing + open bar liquor will help the ladies overlook the fact that I am a horrendous human being.
Usually they are down with you if you have a penis. I did wedding photography for a few months and that's just what I noticed.
Marty Brodeur for president.
Haha I love it.
And how, I have been alerted though the single ladies count may be low. Might actually have to try tomorrow.

Coming in to kill the mood. Caught it on the Panthers twitter and it was a sad day one year ago (forgot it was 1 year already).

Overpaid, esp if they start cracking down on diving.
Yes, I know Kesler's on my team.
Subban also signed an entry level contract.

I'd actually be happy with 4.5, he'll ask for more. And teams will pay him 5.5.

Marchand is younger, but Burrows can definitely get $4M.

If Ville Leino could get $4m+ on one 19 goals season and a decent playoff. Then Burrows can easily get $5m+ on four consecutive 25+ goals and an outstanding playoffs.

No
Yes.
Edit: Anyone buy EA's season pass thing? I hate giving them more money, but I wanna play all weekend before a busy week coming...
I pre-ordered it at a local store for a midnight release, but that doesn't impact anything does it? I can just do the season pass thing, DL the game, and then go pick up my real copy on Tuesday and enter the key to "upgrade" to retail?

If there's a lockout. I'm going to have to root for a Chicago based hockey team.
Oh fuck .

I'm banking on hometown discount and the fact that he's likely peaked. He'll likely get ridiculous offers though from other teams.

I'd be happy with $4.2m for 5 years. That's a good reasonable number and he gets his $20 million paycheque.
I think he'd consider going to Montreal, maybe. But I doubt they'd need him during their partial rebuild.
Chicago Steel are pretty awesome.
Bruins are going to have a tough time signing all their FA's next year.
Right now they are right up against the cap and next season they need to re-sign:
(Current Cap hit in parenthesis)
Seguin (3.5m)
Rask (3.5m)
Lucic (4.5m)
Horton (4.5m) (pending health but he is cleared to play this season, if there is one)
They will clear 5 mil with Thomas' contract expiring and will get 4 mil relief from Savard being on LTIR. Even if Horton doesn't resign it's going to be tight. The Krejci trade rumors will be in full swing again this season.

He'll get something between what Booth and Kesler are getting (so, between 4.25 and 5) with a hometown discount. If he wants more... Meh.
Krejci would make a damn fine 2C in Chicago.

Using the moustachio'd avatar I see...
You'll have to pay Seguin Eberle/Hall money at the bare minimum.
How could it not be? You get an entire section to yourself!
Sounds about right.
I'm not as eager as some Bruins fans to see him go.Krejci would make a damn fine 2C in Chicago.
