"This hit was only bad because of the location." "That hit from behind was only bad because he was by the boards." How does this argument make any sense? Why would it matter what the hit would have been like if it was placed elsewhere? It wasn't elsewhere. It was right there by the end of the bench. Looking at the recent history between the two players I find it hard to believe it wasn't intentional. Do I believe that Chara wanted to concuss Pacioretty and fracture a vertebrae? No, but I completely believe he intended to hurt him to some degree.

I went 6-3-1 in my first 10.

Has that actually been confirmed or just a guess? I was taking the logic that you get more xp because of the added risk of opponents being re-awakened by other enemies.. After all, if they're unconscious, there's nothing really stopping you from rifling their bodies.. It was actually something that was brought up in the gamebanshee preview. There was a comment about extra XP being awarded with a "Ghost" tag which I assume is for getting through an area completely unseen. I'm just guessing, but I wouldn't think you'd get that bonus if you went around knocking everyone out with stealth takedowns. The reason for the extra stealth XP is probably a combination of factors.

No kill = No corpse looting.

Huzzah, it's 6am and I don't have a good reason for being up this late. Why do I never learn?

Well I have good news for you then! Announcement of an announcement!

Bah, you've been slacking. His lordship or the bird have been beating you to it.

I guess I am too. I have no idea how that happened, but we should probably get official badges or something. I don't recognize about half of those names on the member list too. Wals is player of the week A bunch of us ended up being tagged as administrators. At one point we had more administrators than normal members. And I'm pretty sure that Wals has been player of the week for at least the past several months now.

What the hell is wrong with Vancouver's defence? They have 6 guys out with injuries right now! Alberts (Broken Wrist) Ballard (Sprained Knee) Bieksa (Broken Foot) Edler (Back Surgery) Hamhuis (Concussion) Sweatt (Broken Foot) I think Vancouver is cursed. There is no other explanation.

08-09 St Louis Blues? Weren't they in last place before the all star game and manage to grab 7th in the west by the end of the season?

First try: Score: 4516 Accuracy: 95.8% Wave: 30-31 ish. Don't remember exactly what level it was. I lost because my keyboard didn't register a keystroke in the middle of a word. It didn't click in time for me to finish the word and get the next one before it hit me. You need to kill those big ones fast before they let out their swarm of smaller ships. And I hate you now because I'm going to end up playing this for half the day.

We have 4 snow shovels. 1 per person.

I wish we had gotten that much snow from this storm. Although the roads would probably be in even worse shape what with the city forgetting how to clear them. They're clearing out most of it, but they are leaving about an inch thick layer on the road that is just turning to solid ice. At least you oculd get out... I had a four foot drift behind my car and couldn't go out yesterday... donno if they plowed it today. I've only had that happen to me once and it wasn't so much behind the vehicle as it was on all sides of the vehicle. Having 4 foot retaining walls on both sides of your driveway is awesome for catching drifting snow. Couldn't even use the snowblower that time because I couldn't get it out of the garage.

I figured out why Magicka kept crashing on me! Apparently it has to do with the number of enemies the game can spawn. There are certain areas that if you just run past all the enemies the game will crash to desktop. Stopping to kill some enemies before you get past that point will prevent the crash. My speed(-ier) run is on the move again!

It's a damn shame that he didn't make the team, but who would you have had him replace? EDIT: You mean behind Crosby and Stamkos.

Kessel goes last in the all star draft after Staal burns Toronto (not a hockey market). Lidstrom pauses before selecting Kessel. Ovechkin puts the icing and the whole awkward situation.

Saw an article on RPS (5 Mistakes to Avoid) on Magicka earlier and it looks like it could be a lot of fun with the right group of people.

you would have been included if you were here more often. or maybe if you took me out once in a while. Well maybe if you would return people's calls for once... Ottawa needs to hurry up and fire Murray. Too bad Melnyk has said that Murray is safe till the end of the season. Gives him more time to run things (even further) into the ground.

Don't worry. I'm sure Ford will call in the Army to dig you out soon enough. My street was plowed before 3pm today. I was impressed! Usually it takes 2+ days!

Didn't Toronto start the season 4-0?

It's a conditional third round. If Dallas gets past the quarterfinals the pick turns into a second rounder. Still not a huge amount. EDIT: Lagenbrunner is only signed through the end of this year? Potentially a second round pick for a rental player isn't that bad.

Montreal is 4-8-1 in the last 13 game with at least two of those wins being after regulation. Gorges has also been confirmed as being out for the rest of the season with an injury. Markov and Gorges both gone for the season.

You guys dont use Smart Boards? They're all the rage at my daughter school and super cool. They are a bit too rich for us. Document cameras are only about $150, whereas those smart boards are at least $1500. I am sure we will get there once the prices drop. When I started at my school seven years ago we didn't even have LCD projectors, now they are pretty standard in every classroom. My brother's school has smart boards, but no LCD projectors. :/ As a student, I'm totally with you on the document camera. I haven't seen an overhead projector in 6 years and I don't miss them in the slightest.
