I've already made a direct apology to @Foppa2118 for last night.

Suppose I should just apologize to everyone here. I got absolutely blasted last night. Not a good thing. I really do apologize and will am trying to do better. Apparently one day at a time again.

Now I feel like I should apologize for posting that...

Naw, Dwayne was a hero. He might havge been a bit sketchy, but he really did look out for that family.

He's up there in my top five undrerated characters of all time. I've got Richard Kline as Larry from Three's Company; Ted Lange as Isaac Washinton, bartender on the Love Boat; Jack (the one-eyed jack russell terrier in Tales of the Golden Monkey), and Detective Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach).

I'm a f***ing looney though.

What, no Hawk from Spencer For Hire?

Man, I was trying to limit it to five.

Do I need to get into Hunter, Murdoch from the A-Team, Kit from Knightrider, Rosco P Coltraine from the Dukes? There are so many bad characters that I love it's not funny.

Stone cold best TV character of all time though was James Garner in the Rockford Files. There was a time I would go with Jack Lord in Hawaii 5-0, or Bob Denver as Gilligan but the Rockford Files actuallky stands the test of time a lot better.

If you've never driven a late 70s model Pontiac Firebird I forgive you for disrespecting this post.

Overshadowed probably because he went on to become the best Star Trek captain of all time.

Ohhhhh crap. Tales of the Gold Monkey!? I thought I was the only person who ever watched that show.

My throw in is Larry Appleton from Perfect Strangers. Now that I’m in late middle age I can relate to him way more than I did as a kid.

All good ET, honestly don’t worry about it. Even buddies gotta have a blow out every once in a while, and that was relatively mild. I know you’re dealing with a lot.

To quote the Godfather.

I really appreciate you taking the high road here buddy.

My wife found the entire series on DVD and gave it to me two years ago for Christmas.

I love every freakin' episode in a tongue-in-cheek way. She crapped out and stopped watching half-way through the pilot.

I suppose there more than just plumbing that seperates men and women.

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

Do I need to get into Hunter,

Ohhhh, Stepfanie Kramer...

You guys are old AF

But if we're doing old timey hoties, how about Jane Badler in V?

At my age, I just think it's great than anyone can get it up.

I don't judge your kink.

Bednar and his open system getting credited for Necas. Rod and his defensive system getting criticized for Mikko. Meanwhile, Necas was putting up better PTS/60 in Carolina than he is in Colorado.

Mikko's career shooting percentage is 16% and currently he's at 4% in Carolina. I'm thinking some bad luck may be at play more so than Rod. I haven't watched them since the break though and I saw complaints about him being a ghost so he might also be playing like crap recently.

Lol, shooting percentage isn't PDO destined to even out.

We'd do training missions designed to f*** you up when it comes to shooting accuracy. The more of a p***y you were the more you couldn't shoot after a rough mission getting there.

When you're seriously fatigued your hands shake, you have a harder time controlling your breath.

Yeah, one may be guns, the other may be shooting the puck, but both take steady hands and strength.

It's really simple, if you have to sell out just to keep up, your accuracy will suffer.

Eventually Mikko may adapt, but it it won't be quickly.

Mikko looked pretty good to me tonight paired with Aho and Svechinkov

Mikko is an elite goal scorer. He's 5th in goals scored over the last five years. It's literally the best thing he does and at times might be the only good thing he does. So, yes, for him it'll start to creep back up and he won't stay shooting 4% and not being able to buy one.

I don't know what the rest of your post means.

It's true, if you're gassed out there it's harder to shoot well and make smart plays. That's why I find the Winter Olympics sport of biathlon so interesting

I actually think you see a version of this in the playoffs when everyone is going harder and the checking is tighter. The true superstars and physical freaks like MacKinnon can still thrive with the increased intensity and tighter window to make plays, but role players generally drop off and only get points from weird bounces or deflections rather than skilled plays

Yeah, it really isn't complicated. Mikko looks twice as gassed in his post game interviews. More like Lehhky always looks lol.

He's going to have to cut weight and try to get faster, and better prepared to grind the season out if he wants to come anywhere near his previous production.

Or...hear me out...here's another idea, what if Mikko just signs a huge contract based on past production in a no-tax state and just sorta rides out the 7 years? Which sounds more appealing to you?

I don't think he's that type, at least I hope not. I feel like things were easy, and he was producing at a high level, and it maybe crept up on him.

We'll see I guess
