    Regarding the interview .. he was fine .. the "no I don't think so" answer to "Did you watch the debate" seems squirmy .. but Biden has always been that way In any case .. he did fine, but I don't think good enough to stop the bleeding or turn the narrative We are up to 5 Dem reps calling on...

    I think they are better than bottom 5 .. their primary problems last year (well, they were virtually everything) ... but they shored up the D, really improved their goaltending (sonderblom was awful and hopefully can re-find his game, he shows some promise to at least be a good backup) and they...

    Safe to say the Hawks tanking days are over. I generally liked their signings (and add Hall coming back from injury), I think it was maybe 1 forward and 1 d-man too many .. but I could see them slip into an 8 seed if a lot goes right and they stay relatively healthy. That said, if they fall...

    If it happened, and I highly doubt it will .. who knows who will get picked. But it would be a blood bath between the more left-wing delegates and the establishment. In any case, it is really the last thing any party would want and there is a reason this has not happened in a long time...

    Agree they have a very odd status .. which also pretty much ensures one of the two parties will win 99% of all elections .. down to the lowest levels of partisan elections

    True .. I think a lot of this is academic. There are really 3 options for someone besides Biden 1) He dies .. ideally not 2) He pulls his name, in which case it will be decided at the convention (and he would really need to withdraw before then. Of course delegates will skew left and who...

    Not yet .. I assume he will right before the convention

    the VP debate might actually be pretty important this time around .. generally they are not unless someone does incredibly poorly ... but even then the usually do not matter in the general election. This year could be different, even moreso than last time with the age question of both. There...

    I think each party could put all the names of every elected official, pull a name out of the hat and we would have 2 better candidates

    Yeah, I love this time of year ... Bruins/Sens made an interesting trade today. I kinda disagree with Edmonton coming back ... they have top end talent, but a lot of forwards on the wrong side of 30 and Nurse, while I think an overall good player (despite a pretty poor finals) and his contract...

    I was pulling for Florida, glad they one. But one way or another that was one of the better finals from a pure entertainment point of view in recent memory

    That is quite cool @LooseCannon Best I can do around here would be NAHL, ECHL, and NHL ... but yeah live hockey at any level is fun. In the 80s USIU (United States International University located near San Diego)) for some odd reason, decided to go big into hockey and play Division 1. They...

    The Jagr cermony was well done for sure. Legend On another note. 2 games back 1 goal (another reveresed due to offsides) and 2 assists. Nice!

    The Beatles

    I gave the Band on the Run Underdubbed Mix a shot (released a few days ago). Quite impressive and a bit weird (in a good way except I am not fond of the reworking of the track order). Nineteen Hundred and Eighty-Five is an instrumental (all the others have vocals), but wow is it impressive

    Thanks. I always find arena/stadium selections interesting and there are always a ton of conflicting interests. But I do think it is critical for the longer season sports (baseball, hockey, basketball) to get a facility in the right place. Look at the poor Tampa Ray's. One of the best teams in...

    Hey @LooseCannon Question for you, I read an interesting article in the Athletic about new arena sites for the Senators. Interested in your perspective on this. https://theathletic.com/5236528/2024/02/01/ottawa-senators-arena/

    For sure the odds are slim. Like I said if she has any chance she needs to pull out all the stops and somehow force Trump into a debate (which will only happen if she can get a win soon). The rest of the field dropping out at least gives her a theoretical chance. But it is now or never
