@brooksbratten Shouldn't they have been able to move up a little higher (like a 4th) for a 2 year kick down the road? I know 160 was the end of rd 5, but they could potentially move up just a couple spots or not at all.

@Super70sSports But he'd probably be doing hurdles if he'd smoked Luckys.

@Super70sSports "We need a real arsehole coach to be Fonzie's nemesis. Who you got?"
"Let's get Jerry Reed."
"Damn it Bob, you're on fire today!"

@glennonsports So then is that really a much needed center? L'Heureux had more G/G that Drury last season. What under 30 potential stars do Preds have? Wood seems the only one.

@Super70sSports No great athletes but a few good ones. I guess this one.

@GoldenKnights You guys going to let him talk to other teams?

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@emma_lingan It's crazy that this team that has been to 3 SCF is looking for their 5th coach going into their 10th season. That so doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

@Super70sSports Lucy wants to slap Shroeder's bass.

An APB has been put out for Tort's clothes. Locations to be searched include all Raleigh area Goodwill locations, the rafters of the Lenovo Center, the local homeless shelter, the bellhop's closet, and burning in Effigy on a Scarecrow in a Selma, NC tobacco field.

"We’ll be back here…. I’m going to leave my clothes here, that’s for sure. They'll be in the hotel."

John Tortorella is confident the Golden Knights can force a Game 7 after their Game 5 loss in Raleigh.

@49ers_dude @stein63768 @Super70sSports But I still don't really get it. Not sure what a one eyed man and Istanbul have to do with it.

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@49ers_dude @stein63768 @Super70sSports From "It's A Wonderful Life". Some petals fall off flower & Zuzu (little girl) is upset. So dad (Jimmy Stewart) pretends to "reattach them" & hides them in his pocket. The angel convinces him his life hasn't happened by telling him he won't find Zuzu's petals in his pocket.

@HockeyTalkin08 I was there. That was some bullchit. Typically the refs wait a tick or two to be sure they have it especially when you can tell the goalie isn't sure they have it. You never see a whistle incorrectly blown when the puck is that "exposed".

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@Super70sSports I use this line often.

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@Super70sSports With a very limited number to choose from, this guy. 12 seasons, 40 TDs.

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@PrideOfDetroit Does this one count. Circa 1972, I turned all the caps upside down, shuffled them around, and drew out this one.

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@glennonsports His last 4 teams he has coached 14 full yrs, missed playoffs 3x in those 14. Still fired 4 times. Preds was the one where he never missed the playoffs. Every banner in Preds rafters (1 WCC, 2 CDC, 1 PT) & 5 of 7 franchise series wins from Lavy. Ridiculous how coaches are fired.

[Boyd Williams @PatchingBirder]

@Super70sSports Oaks may have been my first also at 1981 scout jamboree. But the first time I actually bought tix to a concert was 38 Special. Also 1981 at Municipal Audit. Nashville. Not sure which was first. I have seen Oaks many times. Huge fan. Live look in at my country cassette case.

@Super70sSports I played center field for General Insurance. I was good catching / fielding but sucked at hitting. I was 0 for forever. Ripped a worm burner up the middle into center. I also caught a couple flies that game. Coach gave me the game ball. Absolutely something I'll never forget.
