interesting documentary coming up on the knowledge network  feb 6  9pm

nice - thanks for the heads up, I'll definitely watch this. 

preview shows coach tikonov denying players access to see dying family members ,or sending players to Siberia nice guy.,   be good at hockey or I 'll send you to prison......yikes

side note  great to Karina leblanc has a position with CBC for the Olympics ,and beyond hopefully ,she rocks!

I like short track better, but don't mind long track.

it's all good J with the weak hockey team (hopeful still) i'll be focusing a little more on everything else.

the oldest form of hockey , similar to grass hockey ,   polo , grass hockey , ice hockey owe its existence to it , after traditional boat races everyone adjourns to the KHONG KANGJEI field to watch this.........todays fun fact

I thought it came from the ancient Aztec game where they hit a ball with sticks into a hoop while wearing battle armour and simultaneously tried to kill the other team without getting killed themselves.

Winners got trophies and hot broads, losers were ridiculed by the local media before being sacrificed.

Wouldn't it be wild if Canada turns out to be a Men's Hockey underdog but still wins gold? I watched a report about how they aren't even putting the players names on the backs of jerseys being sold to the public. "That makes sense", I though, followed up by "there's some motivation [as if any extra would be needed] for the team to play well".

@Green Building not expecting to much ,but that would be great, thinkin back to the 72 series' nobody knew or expected just how good the Russians were , so that old saying 'in true Canadian style' they dug deep and pulled it out. possible , probable hmmm. we'll see just how far that maple leaf and Canadian pride takes this version . 

Looks like an ugly Xmas sweater.

We need his physical play.

for all you nite owls  on a slow sunday nite.....

Shea Weber blasted a one-timer about face level through a maze of players and over the net. Jeez, no thanks.

i see why the all the local blackouts  this way tsn can toute the leafs on sportscenter and we don't get to see how bad they really are. hwaaa.

TSN blackouts upset me, especially when it's a solid matchup. I'm a little surprised there's only 2 games available right now, usually there's 3 or 4 on a Saturday. 

no sn 360 you say, then no game thanks sports net you SUCK!!!!!!

 at least with tsn you can txt smack talk to 105050    sports net you just have to swallow their crap and whine about ....well here.

so I phone shaws 1800 eat ---- number to order sn 360 was told the wait would be 20 minutes or choose the call back , so an automated call back called me back only to wait 20 minutes on the call back.  so shaw tsn sports net you all suck!

@Cerridwen my bro ,his wife , my sis are all corynuts ironically my dad complete with Scottish mono brow was'nt

maybe not mono but 2 bushy ones

Too funny! Do you find an awful lot of Brit slang flying around with The Corrie Watchers? Soooo.... many inside jokes for those of us who are!

black lab ,golden lab chocolate lab,  Labrador , nova scotia duck toller  labs are the best!

He definitely had a knack for playing devil's advocate. 

In hockey discussions he would contradict himself from topic to topic, depending on the narritive, again, to play devil's advocate.

But in off topic forums - the dude never waffled from his hard right, pro-corporate, anti-environment stance.

I did enjoy pencil head's contributions in hockey talk. And yes, pretty sure he's back as Burnt Gravy 

LaBamba reminded me of most of the rig managers I worked for... Brutally honest and controversial. Miss that eraser head...

@Fantomex Man, I also said that I was Well-Hung(Welsh Hungarian), on that ancestry thread. All in good fun..but sometimes the 'truth' must be extended! :^)

every ones stumped here it is.....

Shouldn't the stove be on tile or stone, and you can have flooring away from the stove?

@Ghostsof1915, @chon derry will have to put in a hearth of some sort to comply with regs.

Pretty sure it's a 18" radius of hearth, stone or tile (concrete in basements) from the face / door of the stove / fireplace for wood burning, I'd assume the same for pellets...?

I'm running into issues with my chimney and had a few companies by to lay out options for a woodstove insert, they all involve making the hearth bigger to meet code. My house is 97 yrs old so.... yeah

m55  enviro 55,ooo btu

Go back to 1964 when the Boston Bruins deal some no-name goalie (and some prospect who'd never play a game in the NHL) for two prospects from the Montreal Canadians - neither of whom played a single game in the NHL.

Who was this no-name goalie?

Ken Dryden.

and the canucks trade some unkown person to Boston and he becomes Cam Nelly

That wasn't the only problem with the trade (not let dealing that future HHOFer was nothing...)

The OTHER part of the deal was the 1st round pick who turned out to be Glen Wesley.  A guy who retired from the NHL almost TWENTY YEARS/1000+ NHL games AFTER Pederson last suited up as a Canuck.

@canucklax I had PRK and it was pretty painful. The eye drops for pain do a decent job. They also give you T3's but they're actually useless for eye pain from laser surgery as there isn't blood flow to the eye nerves that get temporarily damaged by the laser. My doc said they give it to people just to dope them up to keep calm. 

But its worth it if you don't want the small risk of flaps becoming detached. If you do a lot of sports they'll prob recommend PRK. 

@canucklax sorry should have said painful after for a few days. During the procedure you don't feel a thing. 

I'm glad to see it turned out successfully for you @chon derry

Congratulations.

Yeah it's pretty weird. Still doesn't work for me lol. Hopefully it can be fixed soon

The LG isn't calling another election, asked Horgan to form a Gov.

The witch is dead!

It was like Cape Fear toward the end there.

The way she just wouldn't die.

She's like disco. She refuses to die. 

i'm the president of the dim bulb club.

Good luck with surgery.  Have small cataracts both eyes but just monitoring for now.  At least the exam gets partially covered by MSP if you have cataracts 

Good luck. Its crazy how fast they do it now, you'll spend way more time in the waiting room than for the actual procedure. Hands off the nurses. 

lol

How CDC discussions work?

I could have been a werewolf, but I don't drink Pina Colada's at Trader Vic's.

Queefs

I really didn't want those fans leaving the arena all full of victory smug.
