Coyotes Re-sign LeNeveu

Buried in another story about signings is the fact that Lenny got signed for another year by the Yotes. It's on TSN.com but I can't copy and paste the link on my iPhone. Sorry

Here it is

The article doesn't say whether it's a one-way or two-way contract. Anyone know?

2 ways, one year, $643,720 at the NHL level.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. I am not much into new gadgets and stuff, but I would be tempted to get one if it wasn't so expensive. I think I will be waiting for the next generation of iPhones. The commericials make it seem like the iPhone can do almost anything except my dishes . However, it seems like it would be extremely easy to look up and call "maid service" on an iPhone.

Are you all really that eager to use Cingular(ly sucky)?

Doesn't suck as bad as Verizon. My parents were here this weekend and their V reception was almost always worse than mine. I've never had a problem with AT&T.

Back to what started this, I just didn't want to face the wrath of the "you-didn't-provide-a-link-and-a-200-word-synopsis" people.

At the risk of John-Spencering this thread, I just don't get the iPhone hype. I've had a Siemens pocket-PC since December of 2005 that 1) is a Cingular/AT&T cell phone, 2) synchronizes seemlessly with Outlook, 3) has 8 Gb of memory, 4) plays MP3s, and 5) displays pictures nicely. Admittedly, I haven't really read up on the iPhone, so maybe it is actually something new, but from what I've seen, the big news is "Apple finally catches up to the rest of the world. Again."

Can't be as bad as the band of retards who work at Verizon customer service.

Not to sound like an Apple Fanboi, but yes, you do apparently need to read up on it.

This flame war reminds me of my favorite Benderism.

Now it could be that my beloved home- town/teeming- metropolis wasn't included in the survey mentioned here...

The bigger problem is the AT&T network. In a Consumer Reports study, AT&T’s signal ranked either last or second to last in 19 out of 20 major cities. My tests in five states bear this out. If Verizon’s slogan is, “Can you hear me now?” AT&T’s should be, “I’m losing you.”

(David Pogue reviewing the iPhone [www.nytimes.com] )

but as far as I'm concerned, Cingular sucks at raising the bar. On top of that, I don't want pay roaming charges in the metro system and all my friends use verizon. The iPhone is nothing but hype to me (and many others) until they don't force me to change to a crappy wireless provider (and I say this as an apple customer since 1989).

It's off season and all, but we really don't need a cellular flamefest here, do we? I just threw in the towel on Cingular/AT&T, because I was fed up with their drop-outs, but it really just depends on where you are.

SO, HOW 'BOUT THAT DAVE LENEVEU?

I've never had a problem with my AT&T phone service. I always get a dial tone. The wire connecting me to the wall helps.

But don't you waste a bunch of seconds on every call waiting for that dial to spin back around?

Does he have a touch-screen?

My impression was that the Phoenix system was stifling his development, and that he could be a solid goalie for almost any other team. What does the resigning mean? Are the Coyotes hoarding goalies, or are they genuinely interested in making Lenny their #1 goalie?

Stated another way, is the resigning good or bad for his professional development and progress?

Gotta install Wine first.

I'm going to say bad, unless they are locking him up for a future trade. The problem is that no one in the NHL needs a goalie more than the Coyotes. The best thing for him now is to make the team out of camp, and win a spot in rotation, if possible, depending on who the Coyotes sign as the 'starter'. Another problem he is going to have is that the Coyotes need to spend $3-4 million to meet the cap minimum. So the will likely be spending that on a goalie. and for 600k, they can afford to keep him on dry ice. If he can make the team out of camp and stick all season, he can manage a trade or become an UFA at the end of the year. Getting out of Arizona (or Texas) is best for him in the long run, But he needs a year in the bigs before he's of any value to any other team, because there are a lot of goalies out there right now.

Robb, are you related to Rob Malda (aka CmdTaco of slashdot fame) by any chance? Because if you don't remember, here's what Taco wrote about the iPod at its' launch - "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame."

What you and Taco both fail to realize is that a user experience is about far more than bullet points and feature lists. I know engineers can find this hard to understand, because well, they are engineers, but a "UI/user experience that doesn't suck" can be a major driver of consumer choice even it won't ever show up on a spec sheet,

That said, I don't have an iPhone, nor will I get one anytime soon. I just got a Nokia N770 internet tablet - it runs linux, has an active user community, and only costs $140. That said, nokia spend a LOT of time on the little things - the UI, the finish on the materials, the lack of bloat (even at the cost of bullets on the product box). But anyway, there is more to product success than being first to market with feature $FOO.

jeh, my comment was going to be "But is it pretty?" I think you've summed it up in about 100 times more words, though

to LeNeveu's so I can call him for free!
