Adam Dunn had one earlier this baseball season, he was back in a couple days.

Worked out well for him!

Johnathan Ericsson had that done before game 5 against the Hawks in 09 and was playing by game 1 against the Pens 3-4 days later. Maybe that was pushing it since it was the Finals and Derek Meech isn't exactly who you'd want in there but 3-4 weeks seems a little long to me too.

Well if it was an emergency appendectomy it may have been a ruptured appendix, which is quite a bit more serious than a routine appendectomy. I had a slightly ruptured appendix a few years ago and was in the hospital for 4 or 5 days.

This is what I initially thought when I heard the news. My friend's actually ruptured, which can get pretty serious. He was in the hospital, like you, for about a week, but was then basically at home in bed for a couple more. Even when he got up and about again, it was slowly and gingerly for the first week or so.

LOL Beiber is a Hawks fan http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...er-age-25.html

[~Crashintome89~]

Don't laugh too hard, Roose. He has a Flyers jersey too.

[fonzz41]

It feels wrong to even mention that name in this thread.

Nice! Have fun! This past Winter Classic was one of my favorite sporting moments. It was so much fun.

Plus now I always have that story about the time I was at a hockey game and a Styx concert broke out.

Looks so stupid, and I hope they take that line out about being addicted to painkillers.

It is an awesome event. Kind of lame they didn't do it at the Linc. The atmosphere was surreal last year.

Apologies if this has been posted before, heard it today and figured many in here could appreciate it.

Sidney Crosby walks into a bar. Bartender says "what're ya drinkin?"

Crosby says, "I think I'll have an Ovechkin"

Bartender says, "an Ovechkin? How do ya make that?"

Crosby says, "real simple. It's a White Russian without the cup"

Twitter's a-buzz with reports of Tyler Myers and John Tavares both on verge of signing long-term deals.

Not that any of us cares...

[dduncan6er]

Bruins are supposedly close to a deal with marchand. Not that anyone besides me cares about that.

The best nose doctors in Boston certainly care.

[fonzz41]

Lebrun's reporting the Marchand deal is 2 years $5 million.

Pretty good money for a guy who had an ok regular season but proved what he can do in the playoffs.

Hockey needs to actually start. We're talking about what hat Justin Bieber is wearing for fucks sake.

Hawks 3yr/$7m deal they gave Frolik looks pretty good after this.

[dduncan6er]

I'm absolutely thrilled with that deal. Great cap hit.

Typical Hawks and Flyers fans. Talking about Justin Bieber. I'm not suprised.

[~Crashintome89~]

Fuck you and Yanni.

This just in, Joe sucks.

Big payday for Tyler Myers.

According to McKenzie on Twitter:

So Myers gets $12M in Year 1, followed by years of $6M, $5M, $5M, $4M, $3.5M, $3M.

His actually salary is $2M in year 1, but he also gets a lovely $10M signing bonus. Front-loading is alive and well!

Works for me. Kid's been excellent his first two years in Buffalo, and he's only 21. He may not (yet) be a Niklas Lidstrom type of offensive defenseman, but he's getting there fast, and he can hit, and he's fucking huge. Would still like another All-Star forward, mind you, but I like this signing a lot.
