I have no problems with cops and business owners putting led in to rioters like that.  If that was my store, or car, I would be down there with my 12 gauge, a boat load of shells, water and something to eat.  Why?  Cause I aint' leaving my property all night. 

Try and bust up my property and see what you get.  Idiots like that don't deserve to breathe the air we breathe.  They need to be taken out before they do more than monetary damage.

That made me chuckle pretty hard actually.

I think some were going to raise hell win or lose.

Jeff, if I had a store down there, I'd have been there protecting it, too. It's beyond me to think that win or lose, I should just go out and wreck stuff.

I wouldn't blast you. Shit like that is embarrasing. Bunch of small minded idiots that should not only get the boot out of the Country but off the planet.

Seems so foreign to us here.

Status: offline 		Yep.
The one position we could have used the last couple years to get a PLAYAH.
But ... nope.
Everyone we have put in net the past several years has been very good. You can only keep/have so many.
All it takes is one old grizzly vet to get hot, and carry you to the top.

Status: offline 		MINNEAPOLIS -- The transplanted Winnipeg NHL team has hired Claude Noel as its coach.
Noel has been an NHL coach with Columbus. He coached the AHL's Manitoba Moose last season, leading them to a 43-40-1-6 record.
Before that, he spent three years with the Blue Jackets, first as an assistant and then as coach after Ken Hitchcock was fired in February 2010. He also has coached in the ECHL and IHL.
The Winnipeg franchise is relocating from Atlanta. Its team name may be announced at Friday night's draft.

That's going to suck about BB if it happens.  A real fan favorite and a good team guy.  Does a lot for the community too.  It's pretty unfair that you get punished for being a franchise's only tradable asset.  And, he'll be a perennial all-star if he can stay on his damn feet.

Status: offline 		The new NHL team in Winnipeg will go with what the city's original team was named -- the Winnipeg Jets, sources told ESPN.com Friday.
The team is expected to announce it Friday night at the NHL draft in St. Paul, Minn.

Ever since the announcement that the Atlanta Thrashers were moving to Winnipeg, fans have debated what to call the team. The overwhelming choice has been Jets -- what the team was called before it moved to Phoenix in 1996 and became the Coyotes. Other options included Winnipeg Falcons, Manitoba Falcons, and Manitoba Moose, which was the name of the AHL team there.

Status: offline 		No surprise ... Nugent-Hopkins goes #1 to Edmonton.
This makes 37 straight years Edmonton has had the #1 pick I believe.
Wait ... just seems that way.
