Free at last! Free at last! Griffin Reinhart is free at last! (let's hope Jordan Subban is as lucky)

By


    In a career saving, prayer answering group of sentences Griffin Reinharts dreams, for which he worked his whole life, were rescued from the clutches of evil men.

When I think of how he must have felt when Vegas took him in the expansion, draft it must have been some small fraction of what a German camp survivor felt as Allied troops rolled in.

Make no mistake, damage has been done, but I think it isn't too late for him,

I think Reinhart will prove himself to be a serviceable #4 D-man

I thought he looked ok in The playoffs, and really how bad can he be?

I think he was a scapegoat because a lot of executives used him to make themselves look bad, so they punished him for their own ineptitude.

Had he been a 2nd or 3rd round pick, he would have been quietly enjoying his solid but unspectacular NHL career for a few years now, but the powers that be, angry at their own ineptitude did their best to convince him he couldn't play and was worthless, like doing so would vindicate them.

He is the luckiest guy in the game right now, to have escaped the Oilers and Islander organizations is a one-way ticket out of hell, in Vegas, he will quietly and surely rebuild his game and confidence out of the lime light, until one day......he may end up a pretty decent Defenceman,

God is he lucky, he was really one year away from having his career trashed by outside influences,

Now, closer to home.......Was Subban available in the expansion? I feel really sorry for him that he wasn't taken, and I'm a little surprised actually. It's gone beyond the point of being amusing, and whatever team you cheer for I hate seeing a kid with talent get ground down into nothing for reasons unknown, I don't care if he ends up the next P.K for another team, he needs to get the hell out of Vancouver ASAP.

Whatever has happened to him here hasn't made sense for a REALLY LONG TIME, I hate to think it's the NHL old boys club, who can't touch P.K, getting their shots in on his brother and Jimbo playing along to win their favor, but anyone who knows anything about the ugly side of the NHL knows what I'm talking about (Not a racism accusation, it's that they actually hated P.K's not falling into line, which they can't stand, I know it's bizarre but these are very weird people, that BTW is the reason he was shown the door in Montreal Bergevin is an "Old Boy" brought into the fold by Mario Lemieux, Gretzky hates them but doesn't want to hurt the game by calling them out)

There is a reason the NHL has always been #4 by a mile and has a history of bizarre self-destructive behavior,

Someday, before he dies, I hope Gretzy writes the book, he knows where all the bodies are buried.

Lets just hope one of those bodies doesn't belong to Jordan Subban,

NHL NEWS:Jaramir Jagr retires? GOOD! Ever hear the story about Tochett punching Jagr out at practice?

By
So, Jaromir Jagr is finally calling it a day huh?  The great elder statesman of hockey finally feels he has nothing more to give to his beloved fans and adoring next generation of players? Oh BS! His gambling debts are finally paid off! Jarg was a selfish "me first" guy who sold his teams and people who made big financial investments in him down the river. He almost broke the Washington Capitals by accepting a gargantuan annual salary from them, then deciding that because it was guaranteed, why should he have to earn it? He already earned it with the Penguins!  What?!! Were they expecting him to earn it twice? It's this shockingly sociopathic thinking that the league has tried to make us forget once it figured out he was going to hold some permanent records and was therefore un-erasable. "Look! Look at the mullet!" The NHL has screamed over the past several years, wanting so badly for long-time NHL followers to forget the twisted thought proc...

VANCOUVER CANUCKS!! How's that "Re-build on the fly going?" Time for this team to "Own" it's problems

By
Remember last season? The one before maybe? I doubt it.  Psychiatrists say that extream boredom over a prolonged period can cause long term memory loss and actual brain damage if the mind isn't positively engaged at some point. In light of that, just concentrate on getting those mashed peas into your mouth, I'll assume the answer is "Nyaha..." No biggie, there really isn't much worth remembering, if you followed the Cancuks recently you have probably considered calling up the front office and demanding to be put on the payroll, because you can see no other logical reason to subject yourself to this drudgery. In fact, I'm willing to guess that if you remember much of anything it's not the stuff on the ice that caught your eye, more likely it was the noise from the stands that remains tattooed on your poor gray matter. "Tanking is for losers!" "Baertschi is going to break out for 30!" "Erickson is just what the twins need!...

Why the Boss RC 202 looper is better than the 505 and how it helps the creative process.

By
With the Boss RC 202 Looper, there is both good news and bad news Bad news first? Ok... Sounds like poo 16-bit digital mud farts in my opinion going under standard with sound quality is stupid, because the people using this aren't guitar players looking to have chords back up their solos at the local unemployment office talent show , the people who buy this (me) are writing songs in a studio environment and would prefer not to have to re-track things But the good news is this: it doesn't matter, this thing is magic. EXCELLENT creative/writing tool. Also, this is awesome for DJ sets. If your live DJ mixer has an FX loop then this is all you need for Live Remixing. And the front end FX cover all the standard DJ FX for non-remix standard set FX. I do a lot of TV cues, that have pretty standard formats. So this thing has allowed me to make full use of my Korg Volcas, which are a pain in the ass to integrate. But with this thing, I track em' out part by part sticking to ...
