I've stayed at fancy hotels and I've stayed at cheap hotels. Honestly, as long as you're springing for something above 'Slum' tier, you're fine. Booking a room in a fancy hotel is usually wasting money. You get a room with a bed, a bathroom, a tv, etc. There is next to no discernible difference. Maybe the concierge is nice at a fancier hotel but I have a phone with me if I need to book reservations or a taxi or whatever.
The only exception is if you're getting a suite or something, but you're paying extra in that case regardless.
'
I have a degree in hotel management and worked in them from age 16 to being a GM of one at age 38. Worked in a 3, 4 and briefly a 5 diamond hotel. There is a massive difference in a 3, a 4 and a 5 rated hotel. I know because I had the damn binders full of what was needed to upgrade and oversaw moving a 3 to a 4 hotel.. Now I agree that most non slum places a fine. Unless I had a hook up I wasn't booking the Wall Center or Four Seasons etc.
That was a joke about the mediocrity of the Sandman brand. Honestly their newer ones are fine. Older ones are worn out with bad beds. A 4 star or 5 star has a mattress quality rating they need to hit and thread count etc. My suite recently at a 4.5 had a Nespresso in each room with real cream. Now am I happy staying at the Sandman oin Georgia when down for a game or concert? Yes, I do it all the time. But I wasn't there for the quality and the extra money spent really depends on what you can afford right?
It was just a joke really

Bedard going to the team he probably disliked the most growing up. Chicago is cold and a shitty place! Come home in 7 Connor!
They also have pretty high taxes in that county. A buddy who moved there complains about it a lot. Hah!

I cheer against them all season. Why would I cheer for them in the playoffs?

One of these days, Artem Chubarov will return to the Canucks...
...to pick up his car.
Chubarov was actually a solid 4th liner. That leaving his car behind was funny

But at least, the owner of the Sandman hotels has a chance to win the Cup this year, unlike his former buddy.
For some reason I thought the Aquilinis still had a stake but it is in the hands of Gagliardi. They're teaming up on the proposed Squammish ski resort...so beef might be over. However, that totally makes my joke fail...sad day. :p

The Canucks are like Sandman hotels: mediocre and poorly managed but you will stay there due to location.

Rumors are he might have got the Tom Larchied treatment to make way for a female voice.
If so better be good because they shoehorn in a hack like Cassie Campbell again....
Yes Cassie knows her stuff but she is not a good TV personality.

Well damn. I guess I have to watch some more games this year for Cheech. It's been since late January

Stipe then Pavlovich.
Stipe is a hell of a fight but ALWAYS figured Jon would move up right and take over. I don't think any can deal with him grappling wise. That sub on Gane...holy ....
He is the best there has been and the bar is f**king high, Only one I will entertain over GSP.

Only one I don't loathe is the Lightening. The rest can *&%# off pretty much equally.

I want JT here. He's part of the new attitude moving forward. His cap hit is fine, the cap will be a lot higher in the last years of his contract. Very happy to have this gamer here.
There is no certainty of that. Hell the economic forecast is pretty bleak globally.

I get the feeling that we're gonna hop on the 90s hype train and go full-time to the Skate. I wonder how many more years until it gets called the plate of spaghetti again.
Still better than the orca imo.

Perhaps the people that disagree with the team direction do so without differentiating what part of the direction comes from ownership and what comes from management.
We’ve been retooling for a decade. I used to be on board, and even defended that position in the past, however it hasn’t yielded results. If the plan isn’t working, then it’s time to change the plan.
Nah.....it has to work eventually...maybe the 37th retool when FA's kid is trying to win it all for HIS dad....

Well, he's improved every year so far, no reason to believe that won't continue in Van
Except history
Kidding. I hope this turns out amazing but I honestly feel a tear down was needed but knew we wouldn't get one. Really hope I am wrong and a heavy retool works out well

The most obvious aspect of this trade is that Yzerman knows a couple of easy marks when he sees them.
My first thought was along the lines of ...yup Yzerman knows how to build a winner while our owner can't leave well enough alone and hired 2nd tier management.

Face sure. Wanting him to win over a new American market with its success from their stupid expansion draft rules...doubtful. The owners and Bettman want more teams. They make huge money off expansion.
