    Rate the new Potter book here

    3, 6, 4, 5, 1, 2. I didn't feel like 6 was rushed, just that the story was becoming more streamlined as it heads to the climax. That said, I'm hoping for OOTP type length for 7!

    I just finished reading...

    The Crimson Petal And The White by Michael Faber. Excellent book with some of the most detailed imagery I've ever read. As has been mentioned here before, the reader is completely immersed in Victorian London with no frills. Very immersive and although I can't honestly say that I liked a...

    Francesca, I believe it was the French Lt.'s Woman you are thinking of. I remember a similar narrative voice, especially in the opening pages.

    Michel Faber

    Just finished this book and I was definitely impressed. Although I can't say that I actually liked any of the characters I was completely immersed in their lives and couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I loved the ending and thought it was very well done. I really like Stewart's...

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    I'm telling you, Forsberg for 60 games is worth every penny. He will bring an excitement to the arena unlike any other. Most of his "fragility" come from the way he plays the game. Belive me, you will not find a grittier, meaner player. Under the old system teams like LA and San Jose would...

    Enjoy him guys. Do anything and everything you can to go see him live because there has never been another player like him. I feel sick. :(

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    Rumors are flying around everywhere and who knows if any of them have any truth to them. Here in Denver, there's rampant speculation about a Forsberg/Naslund signing with the Avs. Supposedly they both have travel plans in Denver within a 24 hour period. Needless to say, I've been glued to TSN...

    Book Dedications/ Inscriptions

    Jen, when I read East Of Eden I was absolutely blown away by this one too. Thanks for reminding me about it :)

    Differences; N American & European sport teams (split from Ice Hockey)

    There are different reasons why this happens. One reason it has been happening in the last decade or so is because the Canadian dollar cannot always compete with the American one. Therefore, several Canadian clubs have moved the clubs to America because the owners could no longer afford to...

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    I'm a native of Colorado and have lived here for 28 years so this is only hypothetical but my wife and I already have an agreement that if we were to ever move to a different state we'd have to invest in NFL Sunday Ticket and NHL Center Ice so I could watch the Avs and the Broncos. That's not...

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    I know exactly what you mean Motokid. There have been Avs commercials airing where it starts out in slow motion with an aerial view of the whole arena and the crowd going crazy and then shows highlights with dramatic movie score-type chanting playing in the background. Aaahh! I know all about...

    Differences; N American & European sport teams (split from Ice Hockey)

    If I understand your question right, you're asking if we miss seeing our teams compete internationally. Concerning hockey, recently the Olympics have served as more of an international stage for the various NHL players where they can each represent their country. The most recent Olympics was...

    Here's the new rules changes for anyone interested: http://www.nhl.com/nhlhq/cba/rules_changes072205.html I'm glad it's still touch icing, the last thing we need is an automatic whistle everytime the puck crosses a line.

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    You're right, it's all wide open now. But in my opinion, the cream will still rise to the top in many cases. Although there is a lot is to be said about teams being able to spend more under the old system, I still think that the GM's and Presidents for successful teams had to make good...

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    In defense of Bruins fans, I guess it is kind of hard to get behind your team when you don't know who the hell is on your team! I think they have all of 3 people signed at this point.

    what's everyone up to today?

    Ya Leckert, I've been trying to follow the conversation from afar but have spent a fair amount of time scratching my head and trying to get a grasp on the finer points of Canuck/New England lingo and culture. So far, not much luck! :D

    As an aside, the term "bob's your uncle" is used by "the baddies" in 101 Dalmatians along with another of my favorites, "evening constitutional."

    Hey Ice Hockey Fans !!!!! Deal?

    I'm not sure but I would have to think that after two consecutive seasons cut short by major shoulder injuries that bulking up would be a priority, you know? Another "prospect" within the system is Sauve, the backup goalie. While he was in Hershey there was a huge buzz around him and although...
