I tell my wife to watch the damn kids and lock myself in my basement office to watch. Note: that's a bad idea, don't do that. Most regular season games that start at 7-7:30, I do manage to sneak away and watch on my own though, with a few interruptions to help out with something. I have managed to get my 2 young daughters to watch a bit with me, and my wife doesn't mind the game on in the background, but it's hard to get in the zone watching with noisy people who aren't all that interested. Being a dad can certainly cramp your style sometimes lol.

I agree that Dermott, if healthy, is ahead of Burroughs and Wolanin, but I'd like to see those two fighting for the 6/7 spots. And you just know we'll have more injuries before or shortly after the start of the year, so both could easily play for stretches of the season. I don't feel like the potential offense that Rathbone brings is going to make up for his defensive lapses. He makes me nervous out there.

I like this unbiased take from a completely neutral observer. -
Unbiased relationship advice please :(

I think you've gotten some great advice here, and I don't have a lot to add, but think of this as an opportunity to meet someone who's a better fit for you, and hopefully lives in the same city! You seem like a good guy and I think this is the start of an exciting new chapter in your life. -
Nah I love watching hockey. I’m still enjoying the games but knowing how important a good start to the season is I feel like they need to crank it up sooner rather than later. But I’m also well aware that great seasons sometimes follow bad preseasons. I could really use a good year of Canucks hockey!

I like Belgian beer very much in general, but Belgian sour beer... I bought a really expensive bottle of the stuff once, from a famous Belgian monastery, and it was the worst thing I ever drank. It tasted like bile and to this day it's the only beer I've poured down the drain after a single sip!

I'm starting to get the impression you're not a big fan of Travis Green. -
Damnit I knew it when we didn’t get a quick update after the game or the next morning. This sucks. I don’t follow other training camps but other teams must have key guys getting banged up too?

So no news on Mikheyev? You'd think if it was something minor we'd have an update by now. I'm not liking this.
