  1. Julien out as coach for at least the rest of Montreals series after being taken to hospital experiencing chest pains..Kirk Muller replacing him in the meantime. Always hope its nothing too serious.

      Julien had to have a coronary stent put in his heart, so he's gone back to Montreal for now.

      ^ thats a very simple procedure now. They go in through a blood vessel in your leg and pop that little sucker right into your artery.

      Relative had a stent installed...  super quick and easy.  Simple procedure now. 

  2. Well that's a horrible way to start my day: got a phonecall from my dad telling me that my grandpa is in hospital and probably wont make it a week. Horrible situation at the worst time of year for it.

      I've been there. Hearing is the last thing to go, so when it's time, make sure he passes on hearing how much you love him and how valuable his existence was to everyone.

      Unfortunately it's way back cross country and we can't afford to visit before it happens. Always there in spirit though.

      I plan to stay in, relax and sleep in past 4am for a change, ended up working an hour of OT to end things. And I'm in construction labor @Ghostsof1915

      As long as you're not laid off buddy. Enjoy the time off. Recharge the batteries.

      Congratulations!

      12 years is along time to be together so clearly both of you are getting good things out of it even if it isn't all clear skies and roses.  Assuming you already co-habitate, getting married probably won't change much day to day stuff but it's fun to have that ceremony/party at some point.

      Probably a good day to miss work, to be honest. One day I called in sick at the university where I work, later that same day they found what appeared to be a fake bomb a couple buildings away from mine :o

    3. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      Now that's a good day to miss work. I'm back in tomorrow so I'm sure I'll get more details than what's been said on the news about it

      That's what I was guessing, I just left there early this afternoon. 

       

      Started by lightning I am guessing (and hoping that it wasn't someone doing something stupid)...hopefully rain can help the situation.

    4. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      Yup, lightning is most likely, they worked on the fire overnight til it was out, being right beside houses and all

      Crazy! Did you ever have it as a child? I've heard it's quite a bit worse as an adult than as a child. Not that it was at all enjoyable as a child.

    4. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      Neither me or my sis had it as kids somehow, I got it from being around mum while she had shingles. It hasnt been all that bad beyond a constant headache and difficulty swallowing at times, since its in mouth too. Havent had too bad of itching either somehow.

      Yeah, this shouldn't be an attack on Virtanen given the current situation happening in the KHL.

      Yeah, I don't think anyone can lord this over him, he's far from the only player who's bailed out of Russia with everything going on.

      It's a shame he never had a whole lot of support on the NHL squads he played for before injuries caught up with him, especially during his time in Columbus. Almost always had to do the heavy lifting alone when he wasn't playing for Canada.

      Pretty sure it's just normal pay. It's all well and good since I said I'm taking monday off to have my 2 day weekend. I can't complain about that then.

  18. Dinner 13 years after last seeing friend and it's like only a day had passed. That's how you know things will never change, was a great night out to catch up :)

      A lot of my buddies are like this, which i'm grateful for as we all became parents at different times, as well as grew up and are career minded, which of course cuts into "bro" time.  Friends like that are timeless, cherish them with a good beer and solid laughs.

  19. Found out last night that best friend and her bf were hit by a mercedes on their way back to Ontario from a cross-country trip days after I met up with her..Stranded in Calgary temporarily because of it :\ at least they're alright and it wasnt any worse than a scare mostly.

    1. thejazz97

      thejazz97

      Glad to hear they're alright! I had a couple friends who were stranded in the Rockies after their car got sandwiched by semis (thankfully they weren't in it!)

      I'm hoping the guy gets charged for it in some way and doesnt get off completely free. Im sure something will happen to him though

  20. I put in an offer on hopefully my first place that was for rent...though it seems too good to be true and unlikely to be accepted, but hey who knows, anything can happen.

    1. coastal.view

      so what are you looking for in a rental ?

      what area of town ?

      Well..after almost a week of waiting, got a response saying they found someone else without even bothering to respond to me. Oh well, that was expected.

  21. nice isolated power outage here in Kamloops..Sounded like a transformer blew a couple hours ago.

    1. BananaMash

      Where can I find a transformer that blows? I've always had a thing for Optimus Prime.

    2. PrideInThisTeam

      Sorry Mash. Wrong kinda transformer. We can get you Bumblebee on shorter notice though.

    3. BananaMash

      BananaMash

      Bumblebee? Man... After all I've done for you, the best you can do for me is Bumblebee?

      Sigh, alright I'll take it. Tell him to meet me in Victoria.

  22. I went outside to toss out some garbage and there was a random cat named Gandalf laying on a toolbox in the yard...very friendly cat..

    1. Roberts

      Roberts

      was he white or grey?

    2. Ghostsof1915

      Did he block your way to the bin and say. "YOU SHALL NOT...PASS!!!! Without a scratch under my chin first." ?

    3. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      @Roberts Gandalf the slate grey, to be exact. And he just hung out with me in the yard for awhile until I went back inside, looking for attention the whole time @Ghostsof1915

  23. Possible shooting down the street...Cops and ambulance have been around with more cops down at other end of street.

    1. brilac

      brilac

      Oh my!  This one time, there were helicopters flying my building and smoke out my window, and I turned on the news, and there was a fire down the street and was seeing the whole thing on the news.  I called my boyfriend at the time telling him what was happening, and if I should take my cat to a safer place, and my then boyfriend assured me that everything was ok that firefighters were on the roof.  This older guy, about 87 years had purposely set fire in his apartment killing himself and burning down the building.  The building was set to be demolished for condos, and he had lived there for 30+ years.

    2. PrideInThisTeam

      PrideInThisTeam

      It turned out to be a hoax, second time in the past 2-3 years a hoax is reported by the same address >_>

      if not a hoax, stay inside, stay safe. if a hoax, I dare you to post this on face book. you would get a lot of people.

  24. 3 streets in town got shut down after the bit of snowfall we got yesterday from conditions and accidents..Guess people will rush to get snow tires on now.

    1. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      Every year, if you can get them on in September/October. Or you can get all weather tires year round.

      But that's more wear on the tires.

    2. -AJ-

      -AJ-

      I never realized how amazing snow tires were until I started using them in the past two years. Night and day over all-season tires.

      Alf’s scooter has snowys’ year round.
