  1. Apparently he berated the airline worker at the gate pretty badly at the time. He bought her a car after.
  2. If I had to live with one song, Friend of the Devil. I would spend rest of my life trying to figure out how to play it on guitar.
  3. Man that is tough. How many bands have I listened to consistently for decades. May be a bit esoteric but my love of brit pop and guitar driven rock as well as something I have consistently listened to for 3 decades leaves me only a couple of bands so I will go with Suede.
  4. yep. One of the few. The myocarditis is usually short lived and recovers fully. Usually just some NSAIDS and or colchicine.
  5. Been saying that forever. It is just the words used to hold down the working and lower class by the ruling class. Sometimes the dictators use the words communism, sometimes socialism, sometimes trickle-down economics. It ultimately is just a rationalization to get people to accept the oligarchies and dictatorships we live under.
  6. Hadn't seen that, thanks. Bergevin is having a bad offseason.
  7. It is crazy that teachers and staff aren't mandated. We can already see the results of this in the US with sick students and dead teachers. I would bring up another point, I don't want the pro-COVID teachers teaching my kids. It is not that I am worried about them getting sick primarily. I have a lot of interaction with pro-COVID people in person and online and the reasons that they continue to push pro-COVID measures are most of the time way off the deep end or just a hodgepodge of mis-information. I don't want someone that callous and closed to the facts teaching my children.
  8. I kind of got the impression that Montreal actually just didn't know about the incident. I think they shat the bed and saw a really good prospect available and took him. They seemed surprised by the reaction and put out some statements after that were pretty generic.
  9. I have been saying same thing. I think the rough details were worked out when they said earlier in the offseason that EP would be signing short and Q long deals. Just doing the Lou Lamorello thing and keeping flexibility to work on team.
  10. I think they missed one thing. If an unvaccinated player gets other players or staff sick or they have to miss games because of positive test they should pay their salaries. Hard to prove but having to pay McDavid’s salary for a few days should get the players to finally do their civic duty.
  11. Will be curious if this sticks or he fights it as it happened out of country when the league was shutdown. I think from what he has said publicly that he likely will accept the punishment. Don't like what he did but he has seemed to try to make some recompense, I don't know specifically how that has looked for the young woman he victimized. This kid has shown more maturity in accepting and owning up to this mistake than Evander Kane has anything he has done (and he just keeps getting rewarded it seems). It is all very unfortunate and I hope there is a reasonable way out of this for his victim and to a lesser extent him. People (especially young ones) make mistakes and deserve chances to try to correct them or at least try to make up for them.
  12. I love that they describe a vaccine passport as socialism or possibly even communism. People who have no idea what they are describing but need some vague villain to blame. Maybe it was the one world government. I am sure theoretical economic systems described centuries ago are truly what are responsible for the vaccine passport. Now, these systems are used by dictators to justify their suppression of individual rights, but so does capitalism. It is the dictatorship that is the problem, not the economic system that has never truly been practiced in any pure form. Whats next comparing trying to save peoples lives to Nazis? Oh, wait that may have already been done.
  13. In their prime, OEL. No but really, Ohlund and it isn't even close for me. Never liked Jovo for some reason, always seemed like he was playing left wing, not D.
  14. There was a paper submitted to Nature that looked at ivermectin and made very strong claims to its benefit. The paper was wrought with plagiarism and fudged data and was withdrawn. There are however, multiple studies being done in Brazil amongst other places. We should have a better handle on the benefit or lack there of fairly soon.
  15. I think they hashed out a deal early in the summer they just delayed signing announcement to keep cap flexibility and so that could utilize LTIR in the end. just too quiet since they sort of announced that Q would be signing Longer deal and EP a shorter deal. They may not have got all the details but I believe the framework has been there for sometime.
  16. Robert’s had it and had a long productive career. Moot point anyway as it is done differently now with a minimally invasive anterior approach. Generally better tolerated and easier recovery. Spinal surgery is spinal surgery though, the benefit and longevity of benefit are a crap shoot.
  17. People use all sorts of means to generate killers some use religion, some race or gender or dozens of other means. These are brutal killers who are bastardizing religion as a means of control to fanaticize young angry people into doing horrible things. Their acts make mockery of their faiths.
  18. ooh Fun. Sedin-Sedin-Mogilny Naslund-EP-Bertuzzi Smyl-Horvat-Bure Burrows-Kesler-Linden Just think chance to put Mogilny with Sedin's is better match than Bure's game. Horvat plays that attacking go to the net role which would be great compliment to Bure's game. Having Bertuzzi play on EPs wing would be a dream come true.
  19. This is a guy who is reality TV adjacent and is acting like it. His clarification for saying something stupid is even more stupid. ‘I guess being a goon doesn’t require a lot of thinking, so fits with the pro-corona stands.
  20. Loved it. Cant wait to see the new season. Trying to get my daughter to re-watch with me. She has been on a Criminal Minds kick and want her to watch something decent in the genre. Don’t get the love for Animal Kinggdom, a bunch of Agro BS and people that are so flamboyant in flaunting their money and criminality they would never have made it as far as they have especially with some of the characters being in and out of jail. It is like if the Sopranos were being run by the cast of Jersey shore.
