QUOTE(JFields27 @ Jan 22, 2008 -> 10:01 PM) Just for the spark of a conversation .. How much do you think it takes out of a player when he makes an error and gets a penalty and in return is the reason the other team was able to get a goal .. I was just thinking Ruutu is a fiery player and I wonder how much that takes out of a player .. now an easy response would be a good hockey player would just shake it off, but I just do not think its that easy For some reason I don't think it would bother a guy like Ruutu as much as it might bother others. He seems like a pretty confident guy who would shrug it off and just go work harder on the next shift.

Skillbilly with a goal. Niiiiiiiiiiiiice.

QUOTE(BigSqwert @ Jan 8, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) I thoroughly enjoyed The Descent. I commented on I Am Legend and how lame it was for using CGI monsters instead of what The Descent did. I rented it and will be watching it tonight based on your guys suggestion. It better be good

Happy birthday bud.

Sorry guys. My internet has been jacked up the past few days thanks to Comcast. Thanks to a new modem though we are back and running. Like I said in a previous post, I appreciate the info on all this. I wouldn't be opposed to renting for a while with one of my buddies. I would really like to live in Chicago for a while. However, my job is out in Schaumburg so I would want to find a place that is a reasonable drive. Rock, you are right. I've been out for a little over 2 years and would like somewhere with more of a night life and people closer to my age range. Also, I have around 15K saved up as I said earlier. I invested a large amount of money in an IRA and some other funds earlier this year which is why I am a bit short on a down payment right now. Living at home is nice as I don't have a rent to pay and can save up. However, I am at the point where I would really like to be on my own.

A lot of good info here guys, really appreciate it. The main reason i am considering schaumburg is because my job is located right near woodfield. I wouldnt mind living in the city if i could find a commute that isnt terrible. Seems like most of you suggest buying which is what i am leaning towards. Also, i wouldnt really consider getting the max loan as i know i would struggle with paying and affording everything else.

Wow did anyone just see that evan guy dominate the eliminator? He just did it in a minute 29, 36 seconds faster than the best time

OK, so I am at that point. I have been out of college for over 2 years and I have been working full time for the majority of it. I'm currently at home with the parents and have the desire to move out in the near future. I did a pre-approval at a bank a few weeks back and I was approved for a $200,000 loan if I do 20%. I don't have anything near $40,000 for a down payment right. Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $15.000. Also, I have one or two friends lined up that would be in on renting a place with me or paying me rent if I buy a place. Now, from everyones experience, would it be wisest at this time to rent or to buy? I'd probably be looking at something in the $175k-180 range if I were to buy and most likely in the burbs around Schaumburg or the surrounding area. Any feedback is appreciated.

Just got home from the movies. Grea tto see that Lalime has been just solid again tonight. On to OT again

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 19, 2008 -> 02:45 AM) Keith and Steve, maybe you should put each other on ignore, so we can try and keep things civil here. Anyways, excellent performance on the road, although Colorado are banged up themselves. And is Savy trying to create a goalie controversy here? Steve, looks like Savvy is agreeing with you regarding Lalime as well.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 10:34 PM) Have you seen what he's done in this thread? Have you seen the stuff he does in other threads? You're right -- I'll drop it and I apologize for mucking up the thread for everyone else (not being sarcastic here). ---------------------------- DK: "What do you think Lang is going to do here?" EO: "Probably shoot it." Thanks man, I appreciate it.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 10:35 PM) Yeah, I laughed at that too - REALLY, ED? He's not going to pass it??? That just cracked me up. I knew what he was trying to say. It was just the dense way he said it that made it so funny.

Nice snipe by Lang in the 4th round of the shootout. Game over.

QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 10:26 PM) Yes -- the guy who just came back from the suspension says I need to grow up. Right. Why not show some maturity and just drop it? Stop instigating, it is absolutely pointless.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Jan 18, 2008 -> 10:18 PM) Game goes to OT. and on to the shootout.

Wham, bam, Kane!

QUOTE(The Bones @ Jan 16, 2008 -> 10:05 PM) illinois state moves to 6-0 in the MVC and wins their ninth game in a row with a 72-51 win over wichita state. i love my jankovich. Figures they would actually have a decent team a few years after I graduate.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Jan 17, 2008 -> 12:04 PM) If I was Garrett, I wouldn't want that job either...because I'd be expected to do something I can't do in that position...be the magical super coach who turns that organization totally around next year. Atlanta needs to grab someone from a good program with some skill at coaching, someone who isn't just the hot coach of the month, someone who won't bail on them if things go poorly for 2 years, and just commit to completely rebuild around him. Set up a system with a quality GM and coach combination, tell the coach he's going to be there for at least 4 years no matter how much he loses, and tell that pair of people that it's their job to rebuild that organization from the bottom up. Find a QB that fits, clear some of their bad contracts, trade a few people for draft picks if anyone is movable, and just expect to lose for 2-3 years. Jason Garrett would be horrible in that role, because if you hire Jason Garrett, you're hiring the guy who you expect to be your quick fix. There is no quick fix in Atlanta. They have to commit to losing for a few years while they rebuild, and there's no other way around it. Someone like Jim Mora Jr.?

Average sloppy joe and fries from the cafeteria here at the office along with a diet coke. Tasty treats.

Seems like Skille is really adjusting to the game lately. I like what i'm seeing from him. Great speed, decent hands and shot, pretty hard hitter too.
