  1. Oh man, I should have come here last night. I will say this though - bacon garlic parm fries + beer on an otherwise empty stomach is not the best of ideas
  2. I've hit 120+ points for the 3rd week in a row in fantasy football and I'm feeling pretty happy with myself...

      I managed to get Brady, Hunt, Freeman, Cook, and Coleman in the draft somehow, with Hogan to boot. It was a good draft for me.

  3. Got to hold a rock that's millions of years old... I love university already. Just gotta stop myself from being the class clown this year :rolleyes:

      I do too! It's nice to be able to talk about prospects in person with people who follow hockey super in depth, especially when they're friends!

      will we get a full report? is that the brandon university? my son and his ex wife both went there.

  5. Getting ready for the apparent Cudi/Kanye album:
  6. I've had a few friends say they're surprised I'm not in a relationship. One said that I was a nice guy, and another said that if anyone deserves a date, it's me. Which is weird, because I always see myself as an immature sometimes—a-hole...
  7. Flying into Vancouver tonight, dropping off some dishes, and flying out tomorrow morning.

     

    Fun times.

      Those must be some important dishes. I also didn't know your entire family was moving.

      @Cramarossa they're family heirlooms, so we bubblewrapped the packages and everything.

       

      @Jaku it's looking like that'll probably be the case. My dad's worked in Regina since 2010 and the drive is getting a bit much.

      I still remember his fights and goals, especially those beauties he would score against Calgary.

      As great of a fighter as he was, I feel Rypien's greatest legacy will be his contribution to helping increase public awareness of mental health issues and reducing the stigma surrounding it.

       

      Not too long ago, very few hockey players or athletes in general would dare speak publicly about battling mental illness. As tragic as his death was, hearing his story and others like it (Boogaard, Belak etc.) helped encourage others to share their struggles and not be afraid to seek help.

       

      I only wish he was still around because it would have been so valuable for people to hear from someone as tough, courageous and determined as Rypien that mental illness can affect anyone. Nonetheless, his teammates and the Canucks organization have done a great job of sharing his story and that's part of why I'll always support them.

      After seeing Gordie Howe with his skull fracture, not sure I'd want to be playing in the 50's.

      how would you like to be a goalie back before plante came up with face masks. an interesting story about that was, gordie howe coming in on johnny bower. bower in on his belly, the puck inches from his face. howe, just gently pushed the puck to bower. later, bower asked howe why he did that? gordie said everything evens out in time. the tough, elbow to the head, howe, saw his vunerability, chose the nice guy route. how often, do we see that anymore?

  13. I was worried about the change in dynamic a female Doctor would bring, but casting Jodie Whittaker is knocking it out of the park.

      It's okay. I'm happy with the decision especially since I was not enthused with Kris Marshall when he was rumoured as a frontrunner. If they chose Kris, it would have felt flat for me.

      I've never watched Doctor Who but I've watched Jodie Whittaker on Broadchurch and she's one of the best and most underrated actresses out there. Doctor Who fans are in for a treat!

      Broadchurch series 1 was some of the best British television I've ever watched, apart from maybe Luther. 

       

      Series 2 felt a bit forced, but was still acted quite well.

  14. I need the Infinity War footage soon

      Colours have gone from a white background to a grey background, with the text boxes etc. Being a lot more defined against the background.

      This is mine. I don't see grey. I'm thinking I haven't gotten the update yet for some reason.

      I mean, Sprong would be nice, but I doubt it. Maybe Lukas Bengtsson and a 3rd?

  20. Vegas hit home run after home run in that draft.

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      It's almost like collusion. JK. No, it was an A+ first round. Suzuki is going to be the best player in the draft.

      MLB about to announce a new Vegas team after all those homers.

  21. No disrespect to the coyotes and blue jackets, I'm a firm believer that Arizona and Columbus ripping them off is a huge fluke and robs the Hawks of truly accomplishing what their capable of. I've spent the last few days in pure disbelief and it just doesn't make sense to me. I've spent the entire regular season watching the Hawks play great hockey it's just not fair.

     

    If the Hawks lose their trades again I will face that the Yotes and BJs deserved the win, but I am just 100% sure it was a fluke and does a big disservice to the Hawks and the NHL.

      Would not be surprised if every team has a more boring simpler look.

      The Blues' one is really nice, though.

      Simple is better. I actually like it more tbh. It was always an ugly jersey but at least now only the colors are ugly.
