I woke up in a cold sweat last night after dreaming (or perhaps having a nightmare is more appropriate?) that VGK won the Cup in their inaugural season while me and all the other long-suffering Blues faithful are STILL waiting for our first taste of the precious nectar that flows from Lord...

So sad to hear this. Absolutely the best-ever college football announcer. A quick sampling. R.I.P. Keith. :crying:

I definitely would not award it to someone who simply has not bothered to inactivate their account and not posted in a long time so Para and lordmerchant are out. I would agree that it would be between nastyfalcon, who has 3 months on GibbsGrad but, GibbsGrad has a lot more posts. Still, 4800...

OK....time's up! So who is the winner here?? I lost track but I need to know where to send the ref's whistle so would the longest-serving deviant sexual degenerate please speak up?

Please don't tell this to eric or MP! :eek:

No offense to the victims but....we are 50 years in and still waiting so NO FUCKING WAY do I want to see them win it all!!!! :eek:

OK, we took care of them but it sure wasn't easy! Man, they are one helluva hockey team! They are fast, well-coached, make crisp passes, play solid D and get excellent goaltending. I was really impressed with the play of Karlsson, Marchessault and Smith up front. They were buzzing all...

OK. If this were their third season, they made the playoffs and somehow managed to make it to the Cup finals I would not be so blown away. The fact that they are a first-year expansion team that is the top seed in the West halfway through the year is what makes this so extraordinary. If they...

Carter Hutton made what I would consider to be the save of the year last night in OT against the Devils. The Blues eventually went on to win the game in a shootout but they never would have gotten there without this gem from their awesome backup goaltender. :surprise::eyeso::surprise: I'm...

OK....I was kind of waiting for Nashville to bring the Knights back to earth last night since the Preds seem (to me at least) to be the best team in the West so far this year (despite LVG's gaudy record). The Predators are aptly named....they have the speed of a cheetah and the bite of a...

I'm glad the USA won but they should not have played that game under such conditions. They did not allow for the players to show their true talents since they were all busy dealing with the elements. Likewise, I absolutely HATE the shootout format in this tournament. Imagine Stanly Cup games...

Sorry for the typos in my previous post I was in a hurry and did not proof it.

Thank you very kindly!

Who the hell are you arguing with?? :dunno: Right now, I am not even sure the Blues can beat anyone the way we are playing. Their defense and goaltending have been more than good enough to win but since Schwartz went down we cannot score goals. Our PP is as limp-dicked as I have ever seen...

OK, this is my 10,000th post here so I can't just waste it on some lame political or sports comment so I came up with this. As we approach what will once again be another year on the Gregorian calendar as this tired old planet continues to spin its way through the solar system on its endless...

Have a wonderful holiday and all the best for 2018!

Incredible run so far for sure and just keeps getting more amazing. If this continues it will unquestionably be the sports story of the century. Everyone is waiting for the coach to turn into a pumpkin but so far it ain't happening. Gotta be fun in Vegas right now....for hockey reasons this...

Amen. Either that or it will be a real-life rendition of Mars Attacks (without the Slim Whitman rescue) and we're all doomed. No matter....earth will be a better place regardless.

Happy holidays to all, regardless of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, age, religion or politics. Here's wishing all the best for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2018 to all my friends and detractors here on FreeOnes!

I can only help a little. ? where I am unsure and just guessing. 1 - Superman 2 - Airplane 6 - All the President's Men 9 - The Sound of Music? 11 - The Big Chill? 12 - Chariots of Fire? 20 - Monster 24 - The Pianist? 25 - Blazing Saddles Drawing a blank on the rest. Sorry man....will try to...

To wit, my St. Louis Blues, now losers of 4 of their last 5 and a team that has scored only 7 goals in the last 6 games. It's hard for me to imagine that losing Schwartz had this big an impact....perhaps were not quite as good as we showed in October? :dunno: :eek:

I don't think we'd have to give up anything extra for Longoria. I think he would be a salary-dump addition to a package to obtain either Colome' or Archer (or both). We'd never make a deal just to get Longoria in my opinion.

Just to echo what Rod stated, I too have not "dismissed" the Knights' accomplishments thus far by any means. In fact, I went to great lengths to point out just how exceptional their performance this year has been, especially as it relates to comparisons with other expansion franchises in their...

Sorry about your Ducks, Bodie buddy....happy holidays! :beer::quack::banger::glugglug:

I'd be good with Donaldson as long as the price wasn't too high. Honestly, I prefer the possible deal with Tampa Bay if Mo can pull it off.

I am certainly not writing the VGK off as a playoff contender but, if you compare what they are doing to the past performances of expansion teams, their performance thus far is very much an aberration so perhaps "fluke" is too harsh a word but the sentiment is the same. Did anyone anywhere see...

My God. So very sorry to hear this. Likewise, I am growing distressed over the frequency with which these condolences need to be conveyed in recent times. May you find the peace that you were seeking, Yuri. :crying:

Cute story about Frazier but Todd couldn't hold Machado's jock. Cardinals (or anyone) would be dumb to give up a lot for Machado in a trade and not have a contract extension be a part of the deal. I'm hoping 2 years in St. Louis will convince Ozuna to stay (they'll have to pony up but he'll...

I would suggest a bowl challenge again but I don't think we have a quorum here anymore....do we? :dunno:

It's fine. He will flourish in the Bronx, hit a shitload of HRs, be on SportsCenter every 5 minutes and will make a ton of loot with endorsements in the Big Apple. He's in the AL so he's a non-factor when it comes to regular league play in the NL so it's a good thing actually. Yes....fuck him...

I never heard of it either to be honest. The VGK have indeed been very amazing so far. TOO amazing, in all reality. Things aren't right with this actually. My thoughts are 3-fold....either the draft field was littered with players their GMs greatly undervalued OR the draft process was WAY...

I agree, Stanton is overpriced in the market. Honestly, I'd rather see my Redbirds take Yelich or Ozuna off the Marlins' hands if they want to have a fire sale. Both are outfielders who can hit with power (in Ozuna's case, a lot of power), drive in runs and either would come at a significant...

Yes but it was on a stereoscope and I simply can't recall the name....in addition to a lot of other things I can't seem to recall lately. Uhhhh....what was the question again?? :dunno:

Such a beautiful young woman....what a waste and a shame. Something seriously amiss in the porn world with all these young deaths. I don't want to desecrate her memory with speculation but this type of thing seems to happen WAY more often than normal in the porn biz. A reflection of society...

Well, my Blues are in a skid (which was predictable) and have a chance to pull out of it in Montreal tonight. We played really well against Minnesota on Saturday so perhaps we're getting ready to rebound. It's safe to say this is an overachieving team so far but with our defense and...

I guess the Stanton version of "The Decision" will be forthcoming shortly. I really hope the Cardinals don't end up with him. The price is too high and these deals almost invariably blow up in the buyer's face.

I dunno. I have a feeling about OU (and I HATE OU so this isn't some Big 12 bias). Mayfield is the best QB out of the four qualifiers so they will be a handful for whomever opposes them. I realize their defense is suspect but Mayfield has the type of leadership skills and desire to get it...

Chrome's OK. I like it....I've simply used Firefox so long that it just feels right to me. At the end of the day, the browser that you think is the best is probably the one that you are used to using.

I use it but I really don't notice a huge speed difference on my computer. I'm no computer guru but I don't see how a browser can affect the bandwidth or speed of your ISP nor do I understand how it can affect the speed of the server for the site being accessed but....:dunno:

Yeah, I saw that. Figures for me, huh? Prolly just focus on getting drunk instead of rooting for either. Meaningless bowl anyway so....:dunno: BTW, as much as I despise Nick Saban, no way can you keep Alabama out and put OSU in. Just the simple fact that they only lost one game (on the road...

Fixed

Some great games on today. OU/TCU, UGA/Auburn, Wisconsin/OSU, Clemson/Miami should all be awesome. Hope my Canes don't get destroyed. Good luck to your Tigers, Connor.

So sorry to hear this, amigo. Deepest sincere condolences to you and your family.

Point conceded but it isn't really relevant to my question. However, the fact that Bama lost sort of negates it for now but it is still a legitimate question I think. T Re: Texas. To get anything from this group this year is a win. None of these guys are Herman recruits and anyone who...

It seems the committee decided to penalize Clemson this week for playing a soft-serve ice cream cone game against The Citadel while Miami stormed back with 30 unanswered points to erase a 14-pint deficit against Virginia last Saturday. So, Miami now is now ranked #2 as we go into the final week...

Holy shit the Blues absolutely destroyed the Oilers on national TV last night! Vladimir Tarasenko had 2 goals, 2 assists and the Gordie Howe hat-trick, Schenn scored twice and had 2 assists and Schwartz scored a goal and added 2 assists....the top line had 11 points as St. Louis romped to an...

Yeah Gudas woulda made a helluva medieval executioner. In the meantime, behind the scenes it appears that Houston may be emerging as the frontrunner for additional NHL expansion...

I think it's a bit extreme to say Miami has looked "like shit all year", Connor. However, I would concede that the offense has been awful at times (although it sure wasn't awful yesterday) and Rosier can be a very erratic passer. The defense, on the other hand, has been very stout all season...

Well one thing is for sure....the Dawgs ain't a very good comeback team. Congrats to the Tigers....they played a helluva game today.

Re: R.I.P Shyla Stylez Very tragic news indeed. She will be missed by all of us who treasured her work. So saddened by this....:crying:
