I agree. If this is any sort of democracy, I'm for letting them in too. I'd be p.o.'ed if my pick didn't get in because of some mail server lag.

Lol, I'm just the opposite. I follow the Wings religiously, but I've already used them in this pool so I've got Ottawa this week.

Sonofagun. I suddenly have a bad feeling. I picked the Wings too, but I was pretty leary about it. I follow them a lot closer than any other team so now I'm that much more invested in the game. Plus it's the first game back off a road trip, and they're on five days rest so they could be rusty. I'm just hoping they want to show the home fans that they can indeed beat the friggin Mighty Shmucks. Hopefully, Babcock has them fired up.EDIT: LMAO, for those wondering what got censored in my above post, it was "sonofagun" and "Babcock". I think that might be pushing the definition of obscenit

Except if ANY player for the team in the defensive zone flips the puck into the stands now, it is a two minute delay of game penalty. You get your line change, but only get to send four guys back out. The only real recourse for a whistle will be to slide it to the goalie, like you said. But, that is a really risky proposition, if you ask me.I'm not even sure if that will be an option. Supposedly they're going to start handing out delay of game penalties if the goalie is deemed to have unnecessarily frozen the puck. Granted, that's pretty open to interpretation by the ref, but even someth

They were adamant during the press conference that the playoffs will stay how they've always been, just keep playing until someone wins. I agree that touching the playoff games would be a terrible terrible idea.

Personally, I'm really happy with the rule changes. Purists like to point out that baseball, basketball, and football don't decide their games with a home run derby, slam dunk contest, and punt, pass, kick respectively. I'll concede that point, but hockey is just not feasible to keep playing until it's over. It's too strenuous of a sport and sometimes lasts 5 or 6 periods in the playoffs. I love the gruel of the playoffs, but am I going to stay up watching a Tuesday night game against Columbus when the fifth period starts and it's 2:30am? Probably not. Let's not forget that it's not like

LMFAO. What does one do to become an "orgy guy"? Is there a requisite number of orgies you have to attend and participate in before you're officially an orgy guy or can you still qualify if you just start wearing a lot of robes and lotions and such?

Will there be a secret level in Stacked that you can unlock where you can play Erick one on one with one of his hands in his back pocket?

So is there gonna be any way for us schmoes that don't live in Seattle, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Bridgewater, Harrisburg or Vancouver to read the column?

Don't you think this is sort of flawed logic? To be technical, nothing happened from 1941-12-7 (Pearl Harbor) until 2001-9-11. That's a shade shy of 60 years before the department of Homeland Security graced us with its presence. To say that Homeland Security has kept us safe for the past 3 years and change since the attacks is making a huge leap of faith. It would be similar to me saying that me regularly mowing my lawn has prevented my house from being hit by a tornado. It's obviously working because my house hasn't been hit by a tornado yet.Homer: Not a bear in sight. The Bear Patrol m

Daniel,I'm not going to ask you to answer any "who is better" questions, but I am curious as to how you weight players. Do you weight cash game success higher than tournament success? It seems that most successful cash game players do. Just curious.

Airport security is a total joke. I've accidentally taken my pocket knife on flights twice and nobody said a word. Yet, a friend of mine had a money clip confiscated because it had a friggin' nail file on it. And even though the infamous shoe bomber only needed a light to bring his plane down, the smoking lobby still made it perfectly legal to take up to four books of matches on a flight. I hate to say it people, but the whole rigamarole with the TSA at an airport is just for show. There are so many holes in it that it's near useless for actually providing security. It's there to make us

Alright, I'll jump in. I can't pick a favorite, there's just too many. Several have already been listed. A few more...Homer (when Marge caught him hiding his gun): "But Marge, I SWEAR to you, I NEVER thought you'd find out."Comic Book Guy (returning his Star Trek belt): "I don't have a receipt, I won it as a door prize at the Star Trek convention, although I find their choice highly illogical as the average Trekker has no use for a medium sized belt."Comic Book Guy: "Since my breakfast burrito is congealing rapidly, I'll be blunt."Milhouse: "Who wets their bed now, Milhouse?"Alright alr

Man, I didn't know Pat O'Brian posted here.

I ate the meat too. The chicken and chorizo was awesome, but the stuffed mushrooms were my favorite. Anyway, it was nice to find a place where my boss could eat good food and not just get a dinner salad (minus chicken in some cases).

Daniel,Thanks for the forum recommendation on vegetarian food in Vegas. I was just there for four days on work and my boss is vegan. Our last night there we ate at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba. Holy cow was that great food and good service. Good experience all around and I would second Daniel's recommendation to anyone in Vegas.

LMAO. I loved this line: "Not sure if you are all aware but I pay for this site." I honestly don't think that people think about that sort of thing all the time. The banners aren't obtrusive at all and advertising is a fact of business, especially on the web. It's a much better alternative than making FCP a paid membership site.

LMAO. Did anyone else catch this over on that other board? It is a valid question..."I do have a poker question for you. During the WSOP last year, there's a swedish guy, I think his name is Andersen, that stands up and yells after every card when he goes all in. Is there a rule that you can't punch him in the face? What would happen if someone starting duking it out right there at the table? Do you forfeit your chips?"

Never an MtG guy, but yeah, I'm a software engineer and I'm definitely drawn to poker as well as a lot of my coworkers. I think it's the problem solving.

Side note: This is the first time I've watched pokerupdates, but I was really impressed with it. Does anyone know how often they have a new episode of that?

I agree. It would be interesting to maybe do a television show where we can see the hole cards, but the announcers can't. Just for kicks. As is, they give and take away way too much credit for plays that they know the results of. Of course it's an easy play then. Like so many people saying the Final Jeopardy question was easy when that uber-genius lost. I always told them "any question you know the answer to is an easy one". Rambling again....

I can't pick a favorite, but I suppose it would come from Tommy Boy, Office Space, Clerks, or possibly Airplane.

I really don't know how much market there is for a good poker video game. I think most poker players would just as soon play online, at a casino, or at a home game. I don't have any evidence supporting this, it's just my unsolicited opinion.
