That NEVER happens on my 17-inch Sansaiyungpuh tube TV. Though the picture does have an ever-changing color halo around the 10-inch image roughly in the center.

Might have to pick that one up. i've been through two tv's in 7 years with these flat panels. I had a Vizio that crapped out after 3.5 years and now this Samsung. I've been doing nothing but watching and reading TV reviews for 2 days and I still don't know what to buy.

Tim, buy your next one at Costco. The warranties they throw at you, especially if you have their credit card, make it worthwhile. You can usually end up with 4 or 5 years of coverage for free.

That’s a pretty good result, under the circumstances, for Columbus. But I’m not convinced that Laine stays there. Roslovic, on the other hand, is apparently from Columbus originally.

It's reported he signed a 2 year extension as apart of the deal.

Yeah, I wonder where Laine is headed. No way that works out between him and Tortorella.

Good trade for C-bus actually.

Win for Winnipeg. They've needed a second line center forever. Laine was on his way out of town after this year. If Laine turns back into Diet Ovechkin that changes things, but I don't see that happening under Tortorella.

Jarmo makes a killer trade for Columbus. He’ll pay Laine to keep him. Nice rebound after losing Panarin. Blue Jackets might be dangerous

Doesn't sound like Laine is going anywhere

If Laine wants the money, he’ll stay. I think Jarmo will offer him a BIG contract. More than anyone else will be willing to offer IMO.

BillP, I would love to see Laine stay in Columbus and have a lot of success. That has always been one of my favorite “underdog” teams, but I feel kind of sorry for the fans in Columbus, with so many key players leaving. I don’t give two shits about Jarmo anymore, but he did a good job with a shitty situation.

Just saw the clip of PLD’s last shift. What a punk. If I’m a GM and saw that, I don’t want you. Take a hike

I like Columbus too. Jarmo did a heck of a job. Jackets need a trailblazer that stays and changes the identity. A high profile guy that leads the way and creates a winning environment. Maybe Laine can be that guy.

Jets fans aren't too happy right now. You won't find a bigger PLD fan than me and I think Jarmo actually fleeced the Jets on this one....provided Laine signs long term and Torts doesn't fuck it up.

I really don't see this faring well for CBJ long term. Laine obviously can score, but he's literally one of the worst defensive forwards in the league. He's highly skilled, but slow. He needs a strong puck driving center to feed him the puck, and Columbus just traded away the only guy that fits that bill. He and Domi could put up some points if they develop some chemistry, but Domi isn't any good defensively either, so I'm not sure that's going to work. I haven't even mentioned Torts yet. CBJ got the bigger name, WPG got the more valuable player. If Laine rounds out his game I'll be wrong on this one, but we'll have to wait and see.

Our 48" is a Phillips....8 y/o no problems our 32" is an Element 6 y/o no problems.

You believe this Tim?

Elliot Friedman just said there may not be draft in 2021. and they may just do two in June of 2022 as so many scouts have not seen these players.

yeah...i can see that happening and if Friedman is reporting it, there is probably some smoke. Feel bad for the 2021 kids because the 2022 class is freaking stacked. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds

Tage Thompson has gone from starting the season on the top line, to playing 8 minutes, to now a healthy scratch again.

Wayne Gretzky turned 80 today.

Feel old yet?

and paulina gretzky is 32.

Vince Dunn was shopped all summer long, and nobody wanted him...which adds up...I drafted him for Fantasy.

80!

Anyone notice how well Paul Stastny has been playing lately? He's playing great.

Between me and you Wayne Gretzky is 137 years old.
