The other type of bogus review... Besides the obvious shill-authored reviews, bogus reviews in my mind ought to include those written by people who, even though they did see the SP, knowingly exaggerate/inflate their experience for whatever reason by claiming they receive certain services that...

To your questions Harmony, There is no hard and fast rule to go by, but these are my observations based on my past experience: HDH indies who see few (2-3) clients a day, each for more than an hour tend to require a deposit because the opportunity cost of a no-show is high. Several SPs...

NHB, Are you some kind of spokesperson for Korbel? Why don't you let him clarify to the board what he means :rolleyes: ! I've been at this hobby for quite a while and have not experienced a single instance where the booker asks you to commit to more than the standard hour a priori. This...

LeCavalier The Habs' most pressing need is a high-scoring forward to supplement Kovalev and getting LeCavalier would be the ultimate match in heaven. I don't know that Gainey can pull this off because the market has a surplus of defensemen but very few front-line goal scorers and there are...

Huet signed! Huet was clearly the top offseason priority for Gainey and the 2-year deal was announced today. No financial details announced as is customary with the Habs but apparently the negotiations went pretty smoothly so I'd have to think that Huet got his fair market value...

Hart trophy as league MVP: Joe Thornton over Jagr Calder trophy for rookie of the year: Ovechkin over Crosby Vezina for best goalie: Kiprusoff (sp?) of Calgary. Kept Brodeur from the hat trick here. The only surprise for me was Brodeur not getting it. Otherwise, the selections were right on.

Oliver, Even if the loonie ends up stronger than the dollar, you'd still be paying more for pussy in the States and lousy service as an added bonus :p !

I would disagree. The pressure-packed playoffs are in themselves the second season and a different beast but the SC finals are simply another 7-game playoff series. And yes, what the Oilers did in the playoffs ain't pure concidence. Their performance shot down your theory about home ice...

BobKnob, I'm in the pool and I nominate you as the coordinator whatever that entails ;) . It is way too early to pick the 2007 SC finalists as there'll be several offseason trades and acquisitions. I'd rather wait until just before the 1st game of the season to see how the various club...

Spin, Since each player gets to take home the Cup for a day and since about half of the players on the Carolina roster are Canadians and presumably live in Canada in the offseason, the Cup will be in Canada for about 2 weeks. ;)

Well if that's the case, how come the Oilers managed to beat Detroit, San Jose and Anaheim all of whom were seeded higher than them and therefore the Oilers had to start the series away from home? :rolleyes:

That's a pretty meaningless and irrelevant "angle" in the NHL given that the rosters of US-based teams consist of star players from Canada, Sweden, Czech Republic anyway. Just look at who's on the SC champ Carolina roster: Staal, Brind'amour, Cam Ward are all Canadians.

Joe Theisman For me the most gruesome injury was the way Joe Theisman's leg was mangled with the bone going thru the skin when he was hit by Lawrence Taylor of the NY Giants in that fateful MNF game that ended Theisman's career.

'Canes are the champs I was rooting for the Oilers in the series because of their magical run through the playoffs, e.g., knocking off Detroit the team with the best record during the regular season and the team widely picked to win it all, losing their best goalie Roloson in the first game of...

The Metro only operates until 1:00AM. I agree with Spin about staying in Laval, although I don't know about the Carrefour being only 5 min. from Montreal unless you're driving at more than 100mph! The fastest I've done, and I'm a fast driver, between the Hilton Laval which is across the...

EB, Good luck... Yes, I also have serious misgivings about the star rating system at Hotwire. At this late stage, as a last resort, what I'd suggest is to try the HI Express on Rene Levesque or the HI on Sherbrooke next the Delta Mtl and pay the Internet rates. You're probably looking at...

Dallas in 6. Avery Johnson has proven very adept at making defensive adjustments and create mismatches during the SA and PHX series and he will do so again against the Heat. Mavs can play the half-court game as well as anybody in the league and has the speed to play fastbreak type b-ball. If...

EB, If you're still looking for hotel rooms thru PL at this time for the Jazz Fest, you're unlikely to get a 3* for even $100. As far as getting the Hyatt which is ground zero for the Jazz Fest., that unfortunately is a pipedream. I started bidding on PL six weeks ago for a 4* during the...

You got a point there as far Simon and Raitt being at the Jazz Festival. But I would dispute that the Jazz Festival is going downhill. For Jazz lovers including yours truly, this year's edition is even better than last year. Wayne Shorter will be there with my favorite bassist John Patitucci...

Clinics in CPH Danish blondes rock ;) ! Looking at the pics from the links you provided, I`m very tempted to take a few extra days from my upcoming trip to Frankfurt later this summer to visit your fine city and check out those famous clinics! Yes, I was looking through the menu of services...
