If that's true (and it sounds very reasonable) then it sucks for Moulson, who gets "symbolically Jewed out of some money.  Then again, when you're getting a chance to play in the NHL you can't really complain too much.[/quote]

Fixed your post.[/quote]
Now we've got it.

Edit: Fixed the subject line for Kevin.[/quote]
Are you f'ing kidding me?  I'm afraid I don't see your "humor".[/quote]
Personally, I'm more offended by "subject line for Kevin" than anything else.

For the record, "gypped" is in the dictionary (I checked to make sure I was spelling it right).  The corrections are not.[/quote]
Oh, for the love of... if "jewed" isn't in your dictionary, Keith, it is a PC dictionary. (See, e.g., here or the SOWPODS dictionary) 'Jewed' has the same racist origin¹ that 'gyped' does, even if only the Jewish cabal has enough media influence to get the dictionary makers to add the "offensive" tag. Anyone want to see my bar mitzvah pictures for a dollar?

I changed the subject line for Kevin because he is the person who asked for clarity in subject lines for individual posts in long threads.

¹ I acknowledge that jewed (or 'jewed down') is usually used for something closer to haggled than cheated, so it isn't entirely apt as a substitute. I expected Beeeej, our resident vocab cop, to jump on that one.

No, thanks.  I usually stay away from discussions of this nature.

In case anybody who's still offended missed ugarte's incredibly subtle introduction of this point, by the way, he's Jewish.

Fixed your subject line.

He's also a comedian who likes to do edgy material, FWIW.

I was just using online dictionaries and I have no sense of how PC or not they are.  Or how apt to include slang.  I was actually enjoying the back and forth on this.  My only "offense" was in seemingly being called by my brother's name by yet another person who didn't even know that I had a brother with that name...

You're not alone on this one!!   I've come to the conclusion that, if your brother's first name begins with the same letter as yours, it gonna happen.   And, for 23 years, I worked for a guy who had the same first name as my brother.   So, people in my business circles made that connection too.  UGH!!

Happens to me all the time... I am so sick of being called Dan it isn't even funny

Does anyone know if Matt physically went back to NH?  I wonder if his being sent down was just a "paper transaction" because the Monarchs didn't play this week. It does seem stupid to put him on a plane to NH only to fly him back to LA 3 days later.

Just curious.

Rita (who, fortunately, has not been called, mistakenly or otherwise, by either one of her brothers' names). :-P

So, now I know to solve this problem.....I'm changing my name to Rita.   That will most certainly distinguish me from my brother & my old manager.

Thanks Rita!!!!!!!  You're a life saver!!

The other Rita ;-)

Mike Iggulden is +5 with 13 points in 9 games.

[amerks127]

O'Byrne notched two assists and was +3 as the Bulldogs lost to the Amerks in a shootout.  Funny enough,he was given a 10 minute misconduct for instigating a fight, and therefore was not on the ice for any of Rochester's goals, which all came within 10 minutes of his penalty.

Douglas Murray was back in the Sharks line-up tonight. ::banana::

Murray was still getting shifts late in a tie game. After Brad May hit Roenick, Murray dropped his gloves and was ready to "tango" with May, however, May declined and just took the 2 minute penalty.

Murray was a +1 and played ~ 10 minutes.

Anaheim won in a SO.

[ebilmes]

Ryan Kindret has 1 goal and 2 assists through 7 games for Mississippi.

Stars v. Kings, Coyotes v. Sharks, both 10:30 pm EST start times.
