    I say make them hop in the DeLorean.

    This is definitely a fair point.

    If you wanted to spend more time in port then I'd recommend trying a NY to Bermuda itinerary. Those generally give you a day or two at sea each way and then 3 days/2 nights docked at Bermuda. If you're looking for less glitz then you'd need to step up a couple of rungs on the cruising ladder to Princess/Celebrity/Holland. Every step you go up in price you lose in riff raff on board.

    JR is dead on. Most of the time when people find out they hate cruising what it really means is they hate that particular cruise line. Different lines cater to different clienteles and the secret to enjoying one is to first know what you want/don't want in a cruise and select the line based on those likes/dislikes. Like any other vacation planning, a little research goes a long way and as much as online is killing the industry, working thru a travel agent can save some headaches in finding what fits your tastes.

    Ah, the joys of family. I got the pleasure of a last minute notice that my sister-in-law was bringing her 5 year old granddaughter for 4 days. Awesome.

    We've even gone 6 and 2 a few times when we've only had 8 show up. It actually works out better than going 5 and 3 because it keeps the forwards fresh and that can make up for the 2 D getting a little winded here and there.
  7. chippa13
    If you're running 3 D well then it should work out to about 3 minute shifts (stop time) with 1 1/2 minutes on the bench. The 2 ways you can run into problems is if 1 guy either takes really short shifts or really long shifts. I find I'm much more into the game when we play with 3 D as opposed to 4.

    10 guys is the max I'll play with. The team I play forward on, 2 full lines works best. When I play defense I prefer to go with 3. Sometimes 4 D can be too many depending on the game.

    Sounds like a decent way to run it. My teams just run text chains.
  10. chippa13
    Wouldn't that be mathematically impossible?

    In short, it is ok to pirate if you personally feel the going rate is too high. Got it.

    There's a reason why in the beer league/pick up hockey circle that names like "Johnny Try Hard" and "Charlie Hustle" aren't compliments.
  13. chippa13
    You've covered two taboo plays in pick-up hockey; jabbing at the goalie and shooting head high. I'm guessing next will be guys hooking all over the ice and the guy who whacks your stick when you're nowhere near the play.
  14. chippa13
    Because they're still paying DiPietro?
  15. chippa13
    Every team I've seen in these parts that have had one guy pay for the entire team have always been dissolved because guys don't show up.

    The thinking is probably that a fit center will cut down on return/tweeks from home tracings.
  17. chippa13
    Adoption wouldn't be cheaper or less of a hassle.
  18. chippa13
    You want to avoid rush hour since you're at a heavy intersection of 495 and 295 and not too far from where the Mass Pike meets with 495.

    I don't think either of those guys are saying no to NHL offers just to play in the Olympics. I just don't think anybody is calling.

    Fenway is awesome when you come out of the tunnel, all downhill once you sit down.
  21. chippa13
    And the team had to leave themselves somewhere to go on his next deal.
  22. chippa13
    By the time this contract ends Parayko will be underpaid and I'm not sure how he is going to fall out of his prime at 29 years of age. That is pretty much the sweet spot for NHL defensemen. If the Blues wanted to take him to a max length contract of 8 years then they would have had to pony up a hell of a lot more cash in order to buy those extra 3 years. In my estimation this was a good deal for both sides and Parayko will still have the chance to seriously cash in on his next contract.
  23. chippa13
    That AAV will be a bargain by year 4.
  24. chippa13
    if you're thinking Crosby then the closest existing that I know of would be the Kariya Pro, and the Crosby is even flatter than that.
  25. chippa13
    My guess is that any interested teams contacted Kovalchuk's agent and once they learned he wasn't coming back this season they figured there was no point to pursue it.
