Thanks for the info and heads up.

Can't score if you don't shoot.

"On Feb. 10, TSN's Chris Johnston reported the Sharks are seeking "three pieces", one of which could be a first-round draft pick. He thinks the secondary pieces must be better than the third-round pick, a prospect defenseman and a veteran winger (Sammy Blais) that the Blues received as part of the return from the Rangers for Tarasenko." 1. First 2. "Better than a third round" and/or 3. Prospect defenseman and/or (Seeley, Hayes, LaJoie) 4. Veteran winger (Stepan, KK) I'd give a 1st, 2nd and one of the 3 Chicago D-men listed above.

That's pretty steep for Timo: first, prospect, Drury and Jarvis/KK? No. First (maybe), prospect and another player not named Drury. Jarvis and KK are both RBA guys and play the way he did.

Again, the Caps are without Ovechkin, Carlson, Dowd and Wilson.

Caps message boards say he does this every season when he goes into a scoring drought. Timing sucks because he likely won't be back before Sunday and the Caps could easily drop out of the last wildcard spot before Sunday's stadium game. And you know the league and TV networks are sh!tting bricks right now if the Caps go on primetime without Carlson, Ovechkin, Wilson and Dowdy.

Ovechkin has left the team for family reasons and he may not be back for the stadium game. There are no flights between the United States and Moscow, so he'll be flying a lot: https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2574528/ovechkin-takes-leave-from-capitals-due-to-family-matter The Caps are still without 1st pair D-man John Carlson and 1st line winger Tom Wilson is still out as well.

If the death certificate is signed by a doctor, trace him (the doctor) back to a hospital and then try to track down any information the hospital may have. The hospital records, if intact, should be able to point you in the direction of whomever the deceased was released to (if he passed in the hospital). You might also be able to track down the funeral home or whomever handled the burial and see if they have any records. I recently assisted a municipality in finding file cabinets full of burial records, which included a lot of medical and family information, for a black cemetery. The forensic records process is in its third year of trying to locate the families and identify an estimated 16,000 grave sites. The funeral home/mortuary had been closed for many years, but we were able to track down the file cabinets in an abandoned home belonging to a family member of one of the previous owners of the facility. The US Patent Office is all public records stuff, too. They may be able to help you locate patent info just based off his name.

Proof positive you're making a lot of assumptions and basing your opinion without knowing dick about me. You want your comments to matter and that's fine, have your opinion. But the value of your opinion depreciates when you begin supporting said opinion by misquoting and not seeking clarification from those you disagree with. Carry on.

You missed the point entirely. I passed no judgment nor did I "complain." As I said, I don't listen to her music and I'm not familiar. But doesn't the halftime "entertainment" need to be somewhat relative and relevant to the viewing demographic? The teenagers and 20-somethings who actually care about the halftime show most likely don't even know who she is and missed the better part of her career because they were too young. Missed the point here as well. Where did I say the refs sucked? I spoke to consistency in officiating. You should probably go read the post again without your emotions coming to the forefront. Especially when you categorize my comments as something completely different than what they are.

Everyone wants to talk about how bad the refs are.... how about the idiots who make the entertainment decisions for the half time show? The half time show is to performers as game shows are to washed up actors- it gets them a paycheck. I have nothing against Rihanna, I don't know her music and it's not something I listen to. But when I saw her on a TV show a couple days ago and she said she hadn't been on a stage in 9 years.... Is it that hard to watch the Grammy Awards, which is the biggest popularity contest for musicians on the planet, and get one of them? Again, not my style, but is it that hard to ask Harry Stiles, Lizzo, Adele, Taylor Swift....?

The trade will happen and it will be impactful. The Canes have proven more than once they can beat the Bruins, the Caps and Tampa Bay. The team they cannot get past is the Rangers, who aren't as good as any of the 3 teams I just mentioned. The Rangers run a very simple offense, but the Canes are very aggressive puck defenders. This is a problem when playing the Rangers, because they always have someone breaking to the middle of the ice the minute the Canes get too deep defensively. The result is the breakaways you saw Saturday night.

Bad call- good call.... not really the question, although it will be argued for days. The real issue was the lack of consistency in officiating. Players and coaches look for tendencies in officiating and that tone is typically set within the first quarter. For the most part, the refs were consistent for the huge majority of the game. They weren't an overwhelming part of the game, as many people feared they would be. After all, the SB ref threw more flags this past season than anyone else in the league. The fact is, that very same call was not made on several other opportunities, so why make it at the end of the game? Consistency. Sure, Bradberry admitted making the play, but he also had the thought it wouldn't get called. Know why? Because it wasn't called on several other occasions. Consistency. Oh yeah, the turf sucked and the half time lip sync wasn't very good either. Other than that, the first 58 minutes of the game was pretty good to watch.

Wow... unless that was sarcasm? Just in case, you never heard of the Jordan Rules?

Can't win the Cup if you can't beat NY. They are a 2-line team with nowhere near the talent throughout the lineup, yet Carolina can't beat them. And putting hats on visiting ice? Fug NY fans. They need to go home to their trailer park in Thomasville.

Necas clearly gets slashed from behind on a breakaway and no call with a ref 10 feet away. WTF?

Expect the Rangers to wear down after their game last night. Scoring chances are there, but the Canes have not found their groove and are just missing some passes. They continue pelting Halak with 13-15 shots over each of the next 2 periods, they'll find a goal or 2.

How long before Trouba cheap shots one of our guys?

Rangers on the wrong side of a back-to-back having to travel after winning at home vs. Seattle last night. Tarasenko had NY's first goal and his first, obviously, as a Ranger. Shesterkin played last night and Halak is expected to be in net tonight in Raleigh. But, for some reason, the Rangers seem to have Carolina's number and I'd love a win.... we'll see.

Total Wine carries it. There are 3 locations in Raleigh and one between Raleigh and Cary. The brewery (R&D) has a taproom as well which is open Saturdays. https://rndbrewing.com/location/seven-saturdays-taproom/

Tarasenko to the Rangers gives them a solid 2nd line. NY's biggest issue is they're a 2-line team with a real drop in talent up front. Blue line offense keeps them in games.

They were already interested and, in some circles, the lead dog to land him before the Hughes injury.

Hmmmmm..... not a move I see Waddell making, tbh. You're right, he's overpaid and doesn't bring any more potential offense to the 2C position.

Larkin is likely a pipe dream. His dad and the current GM played their entire careers together in Detroit, I'm fairly certain. But, it's an interesting conversation.
