"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."

"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
I do also want to mention that they signed Hutchinson, Kaberle, Williams (huge deal) and Wallin immediately...
all under 30...and now all seasoned Cup vets...minus perhap Hutchinson...
"Van Halen was one of the most hallelujah, tailgate, backyard, BBQ, arrive four hours early to the gig just for the parking lot bands. And still to this day is. It's an attitude. I think it's a spirit more than anything else is."
They then signed Staal to a 3 year 13.5 million dollar deal...
4 million next season...4.5 million...and 5 million the last...
They then signed Chad LaRose...Matt White and Vonnie's boy to a 2 year deal...450,000 the first year...and 500,000 his second year...
They signed Jon Grahame from Tampa Bay to back up Cam Ward...solid guy...and backup...who started in Tampa last year...at 1.4 million per year for 2...
and they resigned Mike Commodore for a 2 year deal as well...at 1.2 and then 1.3 million...

Well...if I'm a new poster...and I want to talk about...I don't know...Mario Lemieux retiring...or...the Stanley Cup...
or...a big trade...
what's easier...
scrolling through 25-100 pages?
or...type...Mario Lemieux retires...
Having a mammoth NHL thread may seem clean...
but in the long run...it may not be so...
I'm not talking about the local threads...
if Va posts something about the Pens in there...that's fine...and I don't mind it being double posted out there...
I'm not sure why the area threads popped up...
I preferred it to be a Steeler thread...
but I think someone turned the Detroit thread into an all team sorta thread...which led to a few other things...
It would be like going into the Front Line and having a liberal thread...a conservative thread...and that's it...
I like topics showing themselves...major topics...minor topics...
I get frustrated at another site...because the NHL or NFL topics will be a conversation about say...the Minnesota Vikings offseason moves...between a couple of people...and you go in and post about Ricky Williams...wanting some banter...and 3 pages later...they are still rambling on and on about how their sister got three wayed by a cornerback...
it happens a bit to a point here in our generic threads as well...
but like I said...
I'm not big on that...
I have no idea with a playoff thread...
but would prefer series threads...
etc....

Perhaps we just need a new forum...just for hockey...
