| | What Makes The Human Spine ? | | 2008-06-03 09:41:00 | | Vertebrae are the bones that surround and protect the spinal cord, which carries nerve signals to and from the brain. Between the vertebrae are intervertebral disks , pads of cartilage filled with a gel-like substance that act as spinal shock absorbers. Facet joints connect the vertebrae to each other and permit back motion. Ligaments are elastic bands of tissue that prevent the vertebrae from slipping out of line as the spine moves. Nerves branch out from the spinal cord to go to other parts of the body.Source: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, NIH

| | Show Some Spine! | | 2007-05-18 17:28:00 | | Don't wimp out on us, Giguere. Cut Jose Theodore, take the cap hit over two seasons, sign a decent backup at around $1 million and get this party started. I believe in you, you can do it.Addendum: There are many who think that money is somehow an issue in the whole Jose Theodore clusterf-ck. It's not. Let me tell you why. If the Avs cut Theodore and buy out his contract, they take an immediate $4 million hit against the salary cap this season. They have the option of spreading that total across two seasons, $2 million this year and $2 million the next. Now, your average decent NHL backup goaltender on the free agent market is going to run you no less than about $1 million a year. Even if a complete buyout of Theodore and the signing of a new backup costs the same overall as keeping Theodore, the Avs still come out on top because they have a different backup than Theodore. If you're stuck paying way too much for a backup goalie, it might as well be for a good one, right? | | By: Dear Lord Stanley | | |
