    3 good choices. What about favourite song? I have to hand it to Led Zeppelin for Stairway to Heaven. Call it an unoriginal choice, but I have listened to almost everything classic rock, and honestly they absolutely nailed it with Stairway. Every single note was hit perfectly. Just a tremendous song, with a lot of different feels and sounds. No repetition really either, which is sort of different than the norm. That’s why it gets my vote.

    I have known a guy since like Grade 5, and by all means should probably be considered a friend, but I honestly can’t bring myself to call him more than an acquaintance. It’s kind of a hate/get along/hate relationship I guess (definitely no love).

    This is also one of the guys who is into mainstream crap (including rap, can you believe it?). The only thing mildly classic (they’re not really classic, although on occassion get grouped into there for some reason) that he likes is RHCP. Most people my age like them because they started when we were born pretty much and got big when we started liking music. People I know are like, “oh, they’re classic rock”. No, go listen to some Steve Miller, some of The Band, some Kansas, some Lyrnd Skynyrd, some of The Who, Pink Floyd, etc. RHCP isnt’ classic. It’s not bad, but not classic.

    Hey Bob, noticed your post about Kaberle shooting more than the average defenseman… (too lazy to quote)

    While it’s obvious that Kaberle’s shot totals are enough, do you think that perhaps Kaberle has more chances than most defensemen? I’m sure it’s been a little overblown (it’s just become easy to yell shoot at TK) and that Kaberle passing instead of dumping makes it seem worse, but I would think that more opportunities to shoot would mean that while Kaberle still shoots a lot his percentage isn’t as high as a player of similar shot totals.

    Yeah, I was think about that after posting and considered it a real possibility that Kabby gets a lot of opportunities and that causes some of the frustration even though his shot totals are higher than when he got the reputation.

    But does Kaberle put himself into a position to shoot more often, therefore making it look like he doesn’t shoot enough more than other players?

    I like them. Not something I would listen to on a regular basis, but definitely good. I like the third one (nice call) and it is really starting to grow on me as I am typing this. And 4 (flowing) songs in one video, nice.

    Thank you kindly for the links.

    It seems like it happens just a bit too conveniently when teams were in trouble.
