Stalock starting in goal, Burish back tonight after missing the last 5 months with a back injury. At least our bottom six is getting a little less AHL I guess.
Kennedy and Demers could be back next game. Torres and Couture guaranteed back first game after the Olympic break. Only piece missing will be Hertl eat shit and die Dustin Brown.

I'd like to take this time and remind everyone of the fact that Steve Ott is a captain in the NHL.

Article in the Province mentions the Canucks going for Vanek. I guess if you're going for rentals might as well go for the biggest ones (does anyone remember Derek Roy?)
It's not like Vanek is lighting it up playing with Tavares, so it's hard to see him doing much more with Kesler or the Sedins.
EDIT: Pokemon Bank out? omg

Nah I love exploration. Ultima 5 was my first game I ever played. I barely spoke English back then.
I played Morrowind to death but Oblivion didn't hook me for some reason. I hear Skyrim is much better though.

Such broke Konami. Do they make any big sellers beyond MGS?

I hated Oblivion. Skyrim is a much better game.
Skyrim was weird. I played a TON every single day after release. Loved it. Then a quest bugged out for me in Markarth (or whatever the city is called). I set it aside for a few days with plans to get back it. Then never touched it again. :/
The new Castlevania series did okay I think, beyond that not really that I know of.
Whats I a video game? 4 midterms + job recruiting + work
I just want to finish Zelda dammit - I'm at the last dungeon and I'm so close to beating it, so good!

This happened to me once and I stopped playing, then I hit a wall where I was waaaaaaay under level for the shit I was doing but I was so far along that I didn't want to just drop it. Then I got turned into a vampire and the process for curing that was a bastard, then I got turned into a vampire again and I stopped playing. But the reason I think it's a better game than Oblivion is because the world is much more interesting and dungeons are just dungeons instead of "lol this is hellish and it kinda sucks to be here" like the Oblivion gates. Also I'm a sucker for vikings and viking-esque shit.
Once you got through a couple of Oblivion gates, you don't want to go through them again. And their appearance in the wild is just annoying.
*sky suddenly turns red*
"Ah not this shit again"
I get that the Canuck's window is closing and all, but trading for Vanek seems like it would be a pretty big mistake. The price will be huge, and it's hard to see him having a big enough impact for them to warrant it. Especially when it's pretty common knowledge he's going to go to Minnesota next season.

Yep. I fucking hated those things so much. I ended up doing all of the side shit available and ignored the gates until it wouldn't let me anymore. Then I just stopped playing.
Nice! Skyrim is much better for sure. I played ton of Oblivion though and was won of my favorite/most played 360 games.
I tried to finish the main story as quick as possible so I didn't have to deal with the gates.

So you are saying we might actually beat Tampa this weekend? No wait, probably not.
I'm pulling Red for the Olympics and cheering on Russia! Cheer with me comrades!!! Or Sweden, I guess after that would be the Swiss, then the USA.
Im assuming Team Canada didn't want to take him if couldn't play at least a game beforehand.

He probably saw all the posts and news coming from Sochi and decided he would rather stay in Florida. I for one do not blame him. I wonder if the dual toilets was the straw that broke the camel's back?

I think this is much more the Lightning and his agent strongly suggested he wasn't ready yet. And it's gotta be the right call, if he's not ready to play in the NHL today then he's just too much of a risk to go to the Olympics. It's the right call for the Lightning and probably Stamkos' long term future for sure, and honestly if he's still a week away from being cleared for NHL play - to say nothing of how long he'll take to fully get up to speed when he DOES start playing again - then Team Canada is probably better off with someone else.
St. Louis should be the backup, or maybe Giroux I guess.
Not going to be able to play with all that HGH he used to recover faster.
They're 1 & 2 in Canadian players for points since 2010-2011. Hopefully it's MSL, although with how Giroux has played, you can't be upset with that pick either.

He had an x-ray taken today. I'm going to guess it didn't come back as positive as they were hoping.
EDIT: Yup

DMX gonna fight Zimmerman on behalf of all black people but won't stop being a drug addict to be part of his kid's life. I wonder how well this fight is gonna pay.
Makes perfect sense, and I'm sure a lot of the people involved were relieved to see the xray provide such a clear sign that he's not ready yet. The worst thing would have been if it looked barely ok or inconclusive and then Stamkos probably wants to push it and go.

Big game tonight. Hope Anaheim can compete against the true best elite team in the NHL

Yeah, especially since I wouldn't be surprised at all if the NHL doesn't go to South Korea in 2018. It could be eight years until he gets another chance.

Sucks that Stamkos isn't ready, but he's got a long career ahead of him. He'll get another chance to play in the Olympics.
Yzerman wants nothing to do with that vanilla midget, Big Joe Thorton is going Sochi
Totally.
Now we just need Hamhuis to
