  1. Upon the suggestion of CDC I started watching Slapshot. What an epic film. Hilarious.

      It's a hockey classic for sure. Have you seen Mike Myers movie The Love Guru?

       

      While not a "hockey" movie per se, it totally revolves around hockey,

       

      Not everyone's cup of tea, but I thought it was pretty good. Plus I love both Mike Myers and Jessica Alba.

      Ha @Ghostsof1915..go back & watch 'Boogie Nights', & even the fashion should win you over.(albeit, GREAT 90's depiction of the times)

       

      Or John Travolta kickin'butt on the disco floor. Hard to find one image to encapsulate it all, but yes @ThrustyPrusty89 it was a zany, glorious time.

      Slapshot

      The Holy Grail

      Rocky Horror

      2 Godfathers

      Taxi Driver

      Cuckoo's Nest

      (what a crazy, eclectic mix)

       

      & then the commercial blockbusters got started:

      Jaws, Star Wars, Sat Night Fever...

       

      The 70's rocked.

  2. Thinking about taking the plunge and buying Stockton Heat season tickets :D

      Thankfully I make enough money on my own that I can buy what I want and his opinion doesn't matter ^_^ He was less than thrilled with all of my game worn jersey purchases. Whatever!

      Wish I'd known he suggested the 9 game pack before I mentioned it. Ah hell, buy the seasons tickets and go out for dinner to celebrate.

  3. Happy Valentine's Day, CDC! Love you all! :wub: And happy birthday, Brandon Sutter!

      Its been a long time since I read it, but I remember really liking Marcel Dionne's (auto)biography. Phil Esposito had an interesting one too.

      I loved Goaltender by Gerry Cheevers.

  5. Somehow managed to buy two more game worn Granlund jerseys this week. Unfortunately they weren't Mikael's :lol:

  6. Last night's game was the first I've ever shut off before the start of the 3rd period. Not sure if that says more about me or this team right now.

      I turned it off when they overturned the goaltender interference and declared it a good goal. If that were Burrows...........

    3. Rubik

      Rubik

      Ahh, I see. At least you can root for another deep run for the Sharks in this year's playoff. :) Btw, how did you feel when they lost in the finals last year?

    4. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      I am not actually a Sharks fan although I live relatively nearby so I was not brokenhearted. I did feel bad for all my Shark fan friends. And I was super salty I couldn't manage to get tickets for myself. 

       

      I do not wish the Sharks ill will unless they are playing the Canucks. Otherwise I'm indifferent.

      I'd watch a game between the all stars and Cup champs. I don't care for the three on three, and hate the lack of effort folks put in (though I can hardly blame them). I wish there was some sort of young stars/rookie showcase component- that would actually get me excited. I typically enjoy the skills competitions.

    3. Time Lord

      Time Lord

      If I remember correctly, there was no lack of effort last year

    4. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      Seemed to me like all the teams were just goofing off in the first two game (maybe the PAC not so much for Scott), and only really turned it up for the last game. The goalies sat back for sure (once again, I don't blame them). 

      I think having a young stars/rookie showcase would be great because the effort would really be there from young guys still trying to make names for themselves. 

  10. Is there a GDT today? The game is in six hours.

  11. So a student I once helped at the university where I work got arrested for murder...

      It's "innocent until proven guilty", no?

      that hits close to home..

    4. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      It's just surreal. The student and I were not close or anything, I just recognized him because he looks really similar to someone else I know. I am curious to see how things play out. I don't know him well enough to question his guilt or innocence either way. 

  12. Whose jersey should I buy my bf for Valentine's day? D. Sedin or Markström?

    4. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

       The Comets alternate jerseys are gorgeous. I want one. I own so many jerseys already though. I don't think he'll want two, but maybe I'll get him a jersey for Danny and a name/number shirt for Marky...no way I'd choose Luongo- he can't stand him! 

  13. Who has the best sig on CDC?

    Right now I'll leaning towards @PhillipBlunt. Honorable mention to whoever has the Sbeesus Christ sig (forgot who that was unfortunately).

      Bet PB was smoking a blunt whilst making that awesome sig yo. Creatively funny yet simple. 

    3. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      See, I think VC does great work (also shout out to the sig lord Twilight Sparkle) but I am thinking more of the concept as opposed to the execution.

       

      No matter how many times I see it, PB's sig makes me laugh out loud. It's hilarious. That's a great premise for a sig.

    4. PhillipBlunt

      PhillipBlunt

      @BigCountry18To be honest, I had just finished with a blunt when I came up with the sig.

  14. A year of grad school at UBC costs less than a year of undergrad at state school my alma mater…this, including that I'd likely pay UBC at a higher rate as an international student :wacko:

      @ThrustyPrusty89... if you are thinking grad school, international students pay domestic student tuition fees.

    3. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      @Zhukini It said per year.  It did seem absurdly low to me. I was more remarking on how the price, along with the exchange rate, was so low compared to the ever increasing cost of public education in the US. I will probably never go back to school, but it was just interesting to look at. 

       

      @Down by the River Meaning the same as Canadians? 

    4. Down by the River

      Down by the River

      ^ Yeah. Same as Canadians.

      I'm kinda torn on Granny to Vegas. On one hand I'd be devastated because he's now my favorite 'Nuck (really didn't see that coming) and he's on my favorite team. But him getting scooped up by Vegas would mean he's way closer and i could seem him live more often! 

  16. I missed tonight's game but I know Markus did well. Is it worth watching the rebroadcast?

      While I absolutely adore Millsy, I'm not sure if I want to sit through two hours of that anemic offense. I saw the shot differential...was it really that brutal?

      Did you see that US students are applying to Canadian universities at record numbers this year?

    3. Cramarossa

      Cramarossa

      @SabreFan1 I did not. Why's that, to escape Trump? I have thought of applying to graduate school in Canada. There are a couple programs that look interesting. 

    4. SabreFan1

      SabreFan1

      The top 2 reasons listed when asked were Trump and cost. 

       

      The average Canadian University caught up to the average US University in terms of quality a long time ago.  The only advantage that the US has in higher education anymore is the Ivy League schools.  Those are a no-go for 99% of the population anyways due to the stringent acceptance rules and the overwhelming cost of attendance.

  18. Just discovered a local rink that has hockey lessons and an adult league all the way here in sunny California. So stoked!

      Yeah, I really should've held out for a Canadian guy. Oh well! I'll just have to settle for a visit instead.

      I'm partly kidding around, life is full of enough limitations without restricting ourselves to only being with a person from one specific country. 

       

      I'll cross you off my list of people to ask though

      How much did it cost?

      @ItsMillerTime All their game worn warm ups were $200. The game worn regular jerseys were $350, which to me was over the top.

  20. Going to my first AHL game tomorrow: Stockton Heat vs. Tucson Roadrunners. Anybody have a message for Shink and Vey?

      Could be sold out. They were limited release for charity. If so, they should have released more.

      @LordCanuck I ordered one through their online mail order form as soon as they posted that the hats were available last Thursday. I wouldn't be surprised if they were sold out already, tbh.
