  1. Still a **** design but now it's a pretty hunk of ****
  2. Im surprised they wouldnt give him one more to hit the magical number. Also, according to Doan, he wont play anywhere but Arizona (yeah right). Would rather retire than play in Winnipeg. So quite honestly, who cares.
  3. Really? So you just go back and get it re-filled? They should do a $10 bottomless beer bucket.
  4. Word is Pens fired their goaltending coach. Jets probably gave their's a raise.
  5. Be interesting to see if there are any leaks. If Vegas has several of their pics at the arena for the announcement then they obviously are being told ahead of time and trans'ed in.
  6. I agree. I think it helps (for me anyway and others here) that Vegas seems to be a regular destination for many Manitobans so there is a sense of wanting to see Vegas succeed anyway. Plus, it will be interesting to see ticket prices because I can see people going down there for games. I know a few people that have said the moment Jets/Vegas is announced, they'd want to go. If the prices are right and availability too, Im going. I remember when the Jets played Coyotes in year one, I was one of a group strongly considering getting a box in PHX for the game as it was pretty cheap. Didnt make the plunge though. Vegas for 3-4 days to see a Jets game? Sure, why not.
  7. ^^^I agree, I dont know why, but Im a Vegas Golden Knights fan. Maybe the same reason I was a Sharks fan when they debuted. Its nice to root for the new guys (and I love Vegas).
  8. That's what I said all along. The enticement is an extension. Surprised it's only one year. But of course Vegas can still take him unless the jets make a side deal.
  9. Yes. The sound bar is the built in speakers. I should clarify it's not a separate sound bar per se. It's the built in front speakers. On the next model down, apparently the only difference is no "sound bar" style speaker (has lesser built ins).
  10. Okay so I gave in. Got the LG 4K OLED E7. 65" Not only was it $2000 off the retail price on sale right now, I got another $600 off due to a contact at the store. Observations: - box is big. Only just barely fit in my jeep with seats folded down and front seats slid forward. - pretty easy to attach to the included stand via 4 screws and it looks great. - they call it "picture on glass" where the screen is literally a few mm thick glass with a thin film of OLED material on it. Looks beautiful. - easy set up. I haven't had a new tv in 9years so maybe this isn't new but it offered to learn my set top box for the remote and beamed the info to the tv remote. Very easy. - the e7 came with the attached sound bar that claimed to fire off Dolby Atmos. While it sounds better than most tv speakers it was not early as robust as my surround sound system - but you want to hear about the picture. Well it was great though.m not jaw dropping at first. I'm not expert so I finally consulted the Internet for calibration tips and that helped. Especially in telling me to turn off energy saving mode. Prior, I thought it was unusually dark and figured that was a characteristic of OLED. Once energy saver was off and I properly Calibrated it, wow! Jaw dropping. Amazing. It's like you're watching people live right in front of you i ran some Netflix and YouTube 4K. I did buy a 4K film (Passengers) but haven't watched yet. We were watching The Sopranos on Blu ray so continued with it. It up-converted my Xbox Blu Ray pretty good. You could see some imperfections. But today I took the plunge and bought the Oppo 203 4K Blu Ray player. Basically the best reviewed player out there (Panasonic was very well reviewed too). The difference was, only Oppo had support for Dolby Vision. LG has a new 4K player out that also supports Dolby Vision (because LG is one of the only tv manufacturers that is all in on Dolby Vision) but it's less well reviews. If you want an Oppo it seems the only official seller here is American Hi Fi on Cumberland. Very expensive but significantly cheaper than ordering it on amazon. Its a great Blu Ray player. Very high end construction. Looks great. I throw my Sopranos Blu Ray in and the Oppo made it look that much better. Oppo and TV combined to make a fairly poorly reviews Blu Ray as far as HD image goes, look unbelievable. And remember this is not a 4K source. It's upconverting an old Blu ray. Jaw dropping. I noticed tony sweating in way more scenes than I had before. Everything is crystal clear and beautiful. What Oled does best is blacks. Deep inky blacks. And it's weird because it's jarring in the sense I'm used to seeing grey washed out blacks and now I'm seeing black as black can be. Looking forward to trying passengers tomorrow and seeing what the Oppo and TV can do with it. Glad I went with the 65". While it isn't over powering my room I do think the 75" would have and it wasn't an OLED lg has a 77" OLED on sale for $17000. By the time I'm ready for a basement Reno hopefully that will be under $5000! so I'm tapped now. This month I bought a new trailhawk, a new king sized bed, new parts for my wrestling ring, new tv and new Blu ray. Damn. So far, very worth it.
  11. I imagine they can sue him in civil court. You'd want to wait until the criminal proceedings are over though, so as not to taint the idea that you want justice over money. I'd assume they try him again. I mean you don't get much better evidence than 60 women telling the same story and the guy confessing It's absurd. Probably was one person holding out. Maybe felt sorry for the guy.
  12. The real victim, Bill Cosby: http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/18/us/bill-cosby-defense-lawyer-interview/index.html
  13. oh yes vindication for Cosby. *rolls eyes* admits to drugging women for sex, jury can't convict him of drugging women for sex. Makes sense. Prosecution should immediately take him back to trial.
  14. I imagine they will sign a lot of free agents.
  15. Vegas wants picks. And is willing to negotiate a deal to let every team keep the players they want.
