Never seen that happen, maybe in cheaper machines that are built like shit too save money, but not in any of the machines I've used in the last 15 years (all hondas). If the auger control is not depressed by the user the auger does not spin. The control actuates a clutch on the output shaft to the auger so it's impossible for it to spin.

A better question is why is Joe Sakic cleaning his own driveway. Is snow removal that expensive in Denver.

I'm betting he's like my dad and though he has the means to hire someone to do it, he just prefers to do it himself.

Not to rehash an old conversation but Pavelec had a .25 save percentage when they pulled him at 3 goals in the Bruins/Thrashers game tonight. The rest of the team wouldn't have a chance if they left him in there.



























I would have been fine with it though

10 total goals and 4 fights in that B's game, that was some entertaining stuff. Even better, it's a home and home series with the Thrashers, they come to Beantown tomorrow.

I want Toews. But evidently, in order to get Toews, I need to somehow package Malkin, Nabokov, and Weber for him. But, I'll get Bergeron and a few other um, players...and oh, Toews.

Ahh yes, the old "I'll overpay for a certain player because he plays for my favorite team" strategy.

You trading with yourself? Sounds like your proposals. Then you come on here and say how the people at your work think you're crazy for even offering it..

Nonono...it was a trade offer on this pool. I offered Stastny for Toews this week and the counteroffer was a package of where I had to throw in Weber, Nabokov, and Malkin to get Toews, Bergeron, some goalie, and some D-man.

We've got the best 1-2 goaltending combo since the Moog/Lemelin days. At this point, I'm not sure who our #1 goaltender is and that's a great feeling.

For the first time in over a decade I feel like the B's are a major player in the league and a force to be reconed with.

On top of that the Garden is becoming the most difficult place to play in major sports no matter whether it's the B's or Celts.

End happy rant.
