Belfour in Dallas

more upright style
If Eddie played more upright, he wouldn't have had the back problems on a weekly basis. It seemed like that dude played with his chin on his knees he was bent over so far. When the Stars signed him, it was nice to have a solid goalie behind an extremely talented team, and he was good enough. He was good enough to beat some elite Colorado and Detroit teams, but at the same time it seemed like it was more of the Stars having too much firepower for better goalies on the other side. I always thought guys like Roy and Osgood were better than Belfour.
Roy and Brodeur skating with puck and taking shots down the ice left a lot to be desired from a truly elite standpoint. Marty Turco seemed as tuned in to the offense and helping score points as you could get, which felt refreshing but also caused a lot of problems with turnovers.

I remember Nagano pretty well. And I remember Tkachuk from the Coyotes days with Jeremy Roenick. He was always a solid player, but also always seemed to not have the star power as other guys on the ice, from Roenick on his own team to Modano, Yzerman, Sakic, etc. Even the Ducks had a better duo with Kariya and Teemu, IMO.
I got to see Hasek in person once, after he'd gone to the Red Wings. I got to see Roberto Luongo around the same time, and he made Hasek seem old. It was kinda sad, because I still played pick-up games in my early twenties at the time. It made me feel old like I'd lost a step in net. :lol:
I'm 43 now and still have a full set of goalie gear I break out every now and then when we're messing arouond at work :cheers:

Roy was fantastic. I started playing street hockey in north La as a kid in the early 90s and pretty quickly moved to goalie. Became a Stars fan in their inaugural season, but watched a ton of Habs and Avs games. There were so many good goalies in the 90s that had their own styles. Hasek was probably the wildest of all of them. That guy was absolutely insane.

Having worked in some larger, busier ER/ED's in Dallas and Austin, Pitt is pretty realistic.
Having also worked in smaller, rural ER/ED's, the amount of pranks and shenanigans in Scrubs is not far-fetched. The lower volume of patients also lead to more conversation and attachment, and a stronger feeling of loss when things went sideways.
House is entertaining and I've watched the entire series, but not every patient vomits blood like clockwork right before the 2nd commercial break.
The most accurate thing about any of them, the ONLY accurate thing about Grey's Anatomy, is that doctors and nurses are a bunch of whores :lol: It's not difficult to get a number or a snapchat just dropping off a patient in an ambulance. The shows don't really show how long we hang around the nurses station doing transfer of care paperwork.

From my own experience as a grieving dad, go talk to someone. It's admirable to want to be the strong one for your wife and son, but you have to let it out; you can't be strong all of the time. The two things that I still remember from our therapist is that you empty yourself out being there for others and pouring out for them. You have to find someone or something to fill you back up. Secondly, you have to look at your friends and family as layers of an onion and realize that you can only take on the emotional support role for those innermost layers. As much as your parents, siblings, in-laws, etc. are also devastated, they can't expect, and you should not try, to be their primary emotional support person.
This is the kind of post that makes the OT great

Trying to be the tough dad for my wife and 8 year old son
Allow yourself to grieve along with them, because this isn't something that will ever leave you. My brother lost his son at 4 years old over twenty years ago, and it's a loss we all feel still to this day.
Even though I have a 3 year old daughter myself now, seeing my brother go through that loss and being a pall bearer on such a small casket were heavy enough as an uncle that I put off having kids for nearly two decades.
You'll need your family as much as they need you, brother. It's okay to not be the tough guy.

I've worn glasses since the 2nd grade, but my prescription has been the same since my mid-teens. I've had the same pair of glasses since 2009. Sometime in the past year, I've noticed more changes to my vision at a pretty rapid pace. The most jarring was when I caught myself having to adjust a paper away from my face to be able to read it. I just turned 43. FML.

Saw the news about the 2nd girl this morning. Beautiful girls. The kid that was pulling them around is gonna have nightmares about that moment for the rest of his life.
Also, not a good news story to hear with two young daughters myself, and the toddler absolutely loved being pulled around behind the gator the past few days. 3.5 YO and a 5 month old.
There was also a teenage boy that was killed when his sled hit a fence. I think that was over in Collin County, as well.

I grew up less than a mile from the red river in NW LA. Before the lock & dam system was built, it used to flood the area pretty often. My parents built our house in the early 80s and put the slab a foot above the flood plain level. I remember the water getting all the way up to the front door a few times but it never came in the house.

Woke up one Wednesday morning around 6AM to go to work. Didn't go to bed until I got back home Friday evening. 3 days of hellacious firefighting. I slept until Saturday afternoon.
