Our PP consists of 1 minute of PP and a minute of PK.. As soon as the 1st unit is off the ice, we look like dopes. Sometimes we look like dopes the whole 2 minutes..  :wackysmile:

And I hate the rob Carolynn and Brent Johnson combo
Brent knowledgeable and seems a decent guy but just a horrible speaker
Rob is just....Rob. Eyeliner and all. Never liked him. He’s gotten better but...meh just don’t care for him
Alan May I like. Just wish he’d go back to being himself, speak his truth, and not just tow the company line all the time.
I can almost hear them coaching Alan May before the camera starts rolling
1) Al, remember to smile when you’re not speaking
2) Remember to praise John Carlson at least once each segment.
3) Mention Ovi shooting from his office or Oshie’s hands
4) Don’t flare up and smack the fucking eyeliner off Rob no matter how much you want to and how stupid his comments are...just keep smiling and DON’T reach over and choke the life out of him


Go Caps

Sammy has looked pretty solid this game
Caps kind of let up in the second bit there were lots of PK
Other than that I thought we were the better team and I wasn’t really even nervous when it was tied
This Caps team is pretty damn tough to play against.
Does the “top” line have a point tonight?

Wow!  I noticed that too. Helpless generation.  My old Millennial neighbors were astounded that I repaired just about everything of mine that broke, and they were amazed when I repaired their leaky tub faucets and more.

If you are an opponent which line do you want to play against?
Top line has Backy and Ovie and Willy to make you look silly
Vranna is a terror and Kuzy is magic and Oshie is a hardworking tumbleweed with Surgeons skills
Third line is no great scoring terror but Eller works pretty hard and handles the puck well, Hags still has wheels, that other guy ( :snicker: ), well...
And the fourth line is ferocious, and they never quit.


Pretty fun for us


Go Capd

Home Depot and Lowes  have them.  Probably want to order the precise model you want. I would think inventory on those would be limited to only a few models.  Costco sells them too.

And I hate the rob Carolynn and Brent Johnson combo
Brent knowledgeable and seems a decent guy but just a horrible speaker
Rob is just....Rob. Eyeliner and all. Never liked him. He’s gotten better but...meh just don’t care for him
Alan May I like. Just wish he’d go back to being himself, speak his truth, and not just tow the company line all the time.
I can almost hear them coaching Alan May before the camera starts rolling
1) Al, remember to smile when you’re not speaking
2) Remember to praise John Carlson at least once each segment.
3) Mention Ovi shooting from his office or Oshie’s hands
4) Don’t flare up and smack the fucking eyeliner off Rob no matter how much you want to and how stupid his comments are...just keep smiling and DON’T reach over and choke the life out of him

Make no mistake, folks -- this may have been a pivotal game for the future of this franchise.


If Rierden wanted to split the goaltenders for the next two games to get Samsonov a little work before the two back-to-backs later this month, he could have played Holtby last night and Samsonov on Monday against the Jackets.  He chose to give Samsonov the tougher game, against a tough offensive team on the road -- and he passed the test with flying colors.  This was unquestionably Samsonov's next step up to determine if the team is going to get rid of Holtby and keep Samsonov.  With the upcoming expansion draft they can't keep both.


Now absent injury, Holtby is still the #1 goalie, will start the playoffs, and will play the whole way through if he gets on a roll.  If the Caps choose Samsonov, it will quite likely be without much playoff information to guide them -- which is why a game like last night's takes on such importance.

Wow!  I noticed that too. Helpless generation.  My old Millennial neighbors were astounded that I repaired just about everything of mine that broke, and they were amazed when I repaired their leaky tub faucets and more.


LMFAO, AJ!😂😂



.....Oh, such is the deep love I feel, for that ever increasing, pie-share, of my HVAC customers, that are 100% certified MILLENIALS!!  Especially MILLENIAL COUPLES!!


They are just so damn impressive, as I enter their home for a repair call!😂🤣
Wonderful folks that are blemishless, with no flaws in their character!! (Just ask them, they love talking so positively about themselves)!!😂🤣😂


You nailed it AJ!  I’ll share a short repair call experience, with one of my famous millennial customers:


1st time customer, I’m guessing, a 28-32yr old male, owns small, older, house in Gainesville, VA. Has NO HEAT! 50- 55°F day around 3 PM, and I knocked on his door.


My normal routine is to, first introduce myself, ask customer to describe in their own words, what is going on, while I’m listening, and walking, and usually head to the thermostat first, while still listening to customer.


Well, I no sooner got my name out, at the door, when he just abruptly said something like asking me if I minded if he “tagged along”, while I checked his system, and then adding, “ It’s doing nothing, it’s completely dead“.


The customer wanting to watch what we do, happens often in my trade, and I train my guys to WELCOME IT, helping to ease any concerns the customer may have, AND, they, often times, can feel they’re more a part of the remedy.
I have had technicians that don’t like it when customers tag along, so I simply try to tell those guys that they can attempt to turn it into a positive, rather than view it as a negative.  I don’t permit my employees to ever tell customers they can’t watch.  I mean, it’s THEIR house, for crying out loud!


Nevertheless, as I just start diagnosing the system, he quickly adds “you don’t mind if I Google a few things about what you’re doing, do you”?  I told him I don’t mind at all, and continued my early diagnosing.  I just sort of assumed he was kind of interested, or curious about the repair.


 There was small talk for about the next 20 seconds, as I noticed out of the corner of my eye, that his index finger is rapidly sliding up and down his iPad.  He immediately stops, and then with a straight face asks me, “Are you going to check the, (then squinting his eyes on the screen, slowly, and deliberately enunciating, as if unfamiliar with the words), the, b l o w e r   m o t o r   f a n   r e l a y THINGEY”?


Resisting the temptation to immediately stuff that iPad up his young, entitled, and condescending little ASS, I calmly and politely responded, (admittedly, with a small grin on my face), and said, “I would be glad to check that part out for you, sir,  but you have a gas boiler/radiator system, and,”.....
(suddenly, he cuts me off, in mid sentence), “I KNOW THAT”, he says, then quickly adds, “What does that have to do with ANYTHING”,  and then, again, sharply adding, “Just to let you know, I completed a full semester of ‘Familiarizing Yourself with Home Repairs’, as one of my electives in college”!


You have to realize, that at this point, in my mind, I’m doing all I can to hold back from bending this skinny little fuck over my knee, take off my belt, and give him the richly deserved, SPANKIN’, that his daddy,  so obviously overlooked administering to him, during his spoiled little childhood!!😂🤣


 In spite of all this, however, still being polite, but with a slightly firmer tone, I simply said to him “Your gas boiler radiator system does NOT have a blower motor, and therefore doesn’t have a ‘blower motor fan relay, THINGEY’, sir”!


 It was at this very moment, that I simultaneously just happened to notice the electrical switch on the wall right next to his gas boiler system........DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!......It was in the OFF position!!
 Of course, I immediately asked him, “Did you notice this switch, sir”?


 He looks at it, (awkward moment of silence begins), as I flip the switch to ON, and boiler immediately fires up, while I am putting the cover back on to wrap up the call.


“What the fuck, man!” he says? “What...just happened”?...(little whining sounds, also)....”O, MA GOD....OH MY FUCKING GOD”!
( I’m thinking in my mind, what a little wussy kid)!


“Well sir, you have heat now“, I said....(now comes the coup de grace from this little bastard)! “Do I still have to pay a repair charge, because you really didn’t have to do any repairs, technically speaking”? (his fingers, making quotation marks in the air, with the word “repairs”)


 “Well sir,  you’re still responsible for the diagnostic charge you agreed to, on the phone, of $89. But I don’t think I’m interested in collecting it from you, to be honest”!  I stated, somewhat sternly, as I kept my cool!😎


“Ok, cool”, he said, as he sensed the expression on my face.
“Are you pissed, or something”?, he asked.


“Oh no, maybe just a little disappointed, I guess“.


“WHY”,? he asked.


I purposely timed my reply for when I opened, and walked out the door, saying, “Just a bit disappointed in myself, as I don’t normally do service calls for KIDS! KIDS don’t pay bills. ADULTS PAY BILLS”!!  😂🤣🤣😂......WAIT FOR IT!!!....... (nothing but millennial crickets)!😁😂🤣😁 BWAAHAHA!!
 The best part was reversing out of his driveway, observing his wimpy, slack-jawed, ass, with a look on his face, debating whether he should flip me off or not! (The satisfaction came with HIM knowing, that I KNEW, he was just an innocuous, little pussy)!!  For my 60-year-old ass, that was SO worth my $89!


 Did I mention AJ, that I sure love me some MILLENIALS!!😂😂

Holtby has been awesome since after about the first 2-3 weeks of the season.  We would not be where we are without his excellent play.  I like Holtz, but I don't think he is worth 10+mil a year to a team that is already totally cap burdened.  I think he can probably get that based on recent goalie contracts and Holtby's level of play and success.
The expansion draft makes it really interesting.  Which guy do you protect?  I mean IF they sign Holtby to a new deal do they still have to protect him?  And I don't think they can get a deal done before the draft anyway.
Recently Ted Leonsis has said the organization intends to have Backy and Ovi play out their careers here.  IF that is the case, Ovi is likely going to want 10m and Backy at least 8m per year moving forward.  With Kuzy and JQNC at 8m each and Orlov and Willy at about 5m each, Oshie at 5.75m, I don't see how you have Cap space for Holtby.


That's roughly $50 million for Ovie, Nicky, Carly, Kuzy, Oshie, Willie, and Orlov combined.  Seven players take up 50m of the total 80m Cap. 
Add 10 for Holtby to that and you have 8 players consuming 60 of the total 80 available.  You simply can't get under the cap with these numbers.  Either Ovie or Backy or Holtby will have to go, and since Backy and Holtby are both due new deals...I think one of them has to go. 


Backy is 32 years old and probably has three GOOD years left and maybe a couple more after that.
Holtby is 30, and should be really solid for 5 more years and at least part time serviceable for at least another 3 after that.


A LOT of it will depend on what we see the rest of the year, but if Sammy continues to mature and sparkle I think that forces Holtby out with the Cap situation.
Also solves the goalie protection issue for the draft.  IF you don't protect Sammy and lose him...that's could bite you.


Either that or they have to move a BIG salary piece to get Holtby and Backy signed.  The way JQNC is playing, no way do they even consider him.  Ovie, Willie, Oshie, Kuzy, Orlov?


I don't see them moving Ovie or Willy.  Don't see them letting go of Oshie or Kuzy either.  Orlov...meh, but who would take him at 5.75m?  And you would have to pick up another 2-3m defenseman - or let another youngster play.


Maybe the cap will be increased this year, but surely not enough to pay the increase in Holtby's and Backy's new salaries (which is probably 7+ mil north of current)
Well, that killed a half hour  ;D .  SHould have posted in the boredom thread.

I totally get how you feel, buddy!


I almost posted back to you about your microwave issue. Especially when you had mentioned it was a mounted, above burner microwave.
I caught myself just before I started to post, as I remembered us talking a few times about you being a mechanic. Then I thought to myself that guy needs my advice on this, like Antarctica need snow and ice!😁
Installing that will be like making a bowl of cereal for him!
