It looks like Connor has tied with Pavelec and Essensa with 5 shutouts..

What's the Jets record for Shutouts by a goalie?

Ugh Hughes in Saskatchewan makes me dread listening to Suitor this season. Over the last many years the guy can not stop babbling about Hughes non stop whenever Calgary played.... this will only amplify the level of annoying so much greater.

As per the Duron Carter why they would charge him, I can't speak for this particular incident. Sometimes people can be unruly and very disrespectful to the police and at that point they will find anything to charge the jerk off merely to teach them a lesson. For example if the police pull you over for a routine car check and you are nice and co-operate they will most likely let you go. If you are a complete ass hat to them and act like you are king ****.... more then likely you will be getting a no seat belt ticket and whatever else they can find.

Westwood was making mention that Buff was on the ice for over 2 minutes in OT, the other D men had less then a minute each and Buff was back out on the ice completely gassed at the end. I do find the usage of Buff and Wheeler in OT as strange as they both always seem to be absolutely gassed.

We made the mistake of going to Circus Circus as our hotel (cheaping out) and walking every day down the strip.

I'd be in if MBB decides to do a group trip?

Word of advice... bring good walking shoes. First time I made the mistake of thinking that walking down the strip wouldn't be that long... each casino is massive and my feet were definitely sore.

I think on both of our trips to Vegas we only sat gambling at a casino for maybe 5% of the time. The Cirque shows and all the other attractions were much more interesting for us.

I thought the guy came from a really rich family?

I go to the Chipotle's in St Cloud (usually on the way back from Albertville), it's good and I would say very comparable to Burrito Del Rio here in town.... One restaurant that I used to go down in Albertville that was awesome but is slowly declining was Space Aliens. They have really good BBQ and Pizzas, the Cuban pizza with pickles and mustard and meat is surprisingly really tasty.

I've heard great things about Mangos.. I was choked that when we went last summer to try it out for our first time... the place was rented out for a private party. Did you (or anyone else on these boards) have good experiences with Mangos?

More then $6500.... looking at low 5 digits. You could make money promoting MMA shows, but with all the effort and risk it's not worth it. An ideal situation would be a smaller venue with good sightlines and profit sharing on the concessions. Somewhere that you could sell some tables at a higher cost to local businesses and reserves and so that any ticket sales in the stand would just be gravy in the pocket. As hokey as WFX was, the venue was almost big enough to put on good quality events.

I know that's happened to us a few times.... gone to Paradiso in the States only to realize it's mediocre tex-mex.

I can verify .... convention center is very very expensive. I'm not sure of any venue that could hold a decent crowd with good sight lines where the promoter could get a cut of the booze revenue.

I can't believe the terrible pass Frolik made and the epic collapse of the Flames tonight... wowza...

I've never had but my co workers have said it's very mediocre. I don't understand why people get so excited for these kind of restaurants? Similar to IHOP when they had line ups.... the place is not even on the same level of mediocrity of Perkins.

At one time MMA was profitable in the city... I think the popularity though has decreased and it's hard to find a venue where you can put on a show and where the venue doesn't bend you over for their costs...

Didn't Mark Cuban start up a football league that lasted one season?

Why would anyone want to watch D level celebs?

One thought that goes through my head is that if an underpaid talent cries because he's making near the minimum and wants more money.... could we also at the end of the year take money back from players who under played and that we over paid?

77k is low in the Toronto area... I made a whole lot more doing a whole lot less and still was only a slight bit above average when I lived in Ontario. That was with no children and no responsibilities.
