  1. The best part of TDL day was TheGuardian_ being an Eklund rumour source.

      That was so incredibly on brand for both of them.

      I know you can't always get what you want but getting what we want once would certainly be something.

  4. Things going from bad to worse on WPGs blue line - Buff taking "personal leave" away from the team.

      @redhdlois I think Brock would've requested personal time off if he wanted it. I think it's "just" a matter of term and a bit of money. I'm sure he'll sign.

      Winnipeg has tons of cap space. They should trade for Honka.

      If they want a younger slightly improved version of Myers, they know how to get a hold of the Sabres.   Ristolainen won't come cheap though.

  5. This isn't what you want to see when trying to book a trip: "Show 14 longer and more expensive flights"

     

    Yes please! Can we make my trip to Cleveland more painful?

  6. todays the day, Jim's gonna make a move.

      I guess if you believed that you'd turn into a firefighter chick magnet with 20 year old models hanging off you if you used their razors, this commercial might come as a shock.

  8. went here for lunch today: http://www.heydumplings.com

     

    Its a couple of blocks from Rogers Arena and was really good. Defiantly worth a pre-game look.

      I'd guess my household (still with my parents for now), is probably very high since we have three full-time workers and a part-time worker in my mom. Individually, I'd guess at about 90th percentile or so.

       

      Results:

      Family: 94th percentile globally, 70th percentile in Canada

       

      Individually: 97th percentile globally, 90th percentile in Canada

       

      Very surprised to see myself so high individually in Canada, but I guess that goes to show how blessed I am. Great reminder on how grateful we should be with what we have. Thanks Jimmy.

      yeah its really something to see where we're at - with all the bs out there right now I thought it was a good piece of info 

  11. William Shatner's musical ability is under-appreciated. 

     

     

    1. Kurt Nirvanagut

      Kurt Nirvanagut

      I knew Common People would be the video. Very enjoyable. Tho it was all Ben Folds. I don't think Shatner does anything but spoken word vocals. Good album, still. 

    2. JM_

      JM_

      yah I really like Ben Folds. Old Bill just cracks me up for even trying something like this. I saw him speak at a UBC event a couple of years ago and he was hilarious. 

  12. With Trump and Kim Jong-Un intent on blowing us all up, this song seems appropriate.

     

     

     

    I think I'm sophisticated
    'Cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien
    But all around me everybody's multiplying
    Till they're walking round like flies man
    So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
    In the zoo man
    'Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
    I am an ape man
    I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
    'Cos I'm a strict vegetarian
    But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
    And the crazy politicians
    I don't feel safe in this world no more
    I don't want to die in a nuclear war
    I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man
    I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man
    I'm an ape man I'm a King Kong man I'm ape ape man
    I'm an ape man
    'Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
    Compared to the clouds as they roll by
    Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
    I am an ape man
    In man's evolution he has created the cities and
    The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance
    And I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
    'Cos the only time that I feel at ease
    Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
    Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
    I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man
    I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man
    I'm an ape man
    I look out my window, but I can't see the sky
    'Cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes
    I want to get out of this city alive
    And make like an ape man
    Come and love me, be my ape man girl
    And we will be so happy in my ape man world
    I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man
    I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man
    I'm an ape man
    I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
    I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
    And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
    Just like an ape man
    I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, I'm an ape man
    I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man
    I'm an ape man.
    I don't feel safe in this world no more
    I don't want to die in a nuclear war
    I want to sail away to a distant shore
    And make like an ape man.

      Great choice, S'all..man the Kinks hit it outa' the park with this one! Superman..Sunny Afternoon..this band usually had epic lyrics.

       

      I also tried to run away from it all(a Gai-jin ape man), but I seem to be ever closer to the fracas!

      "I'm a King Kong man," I misread this line, I thought it said I am Kim Jong Man.

      Lucky Devil! Haven't been skiing since the late 80's(Sunshine, at Banff)

       

      There's nothing like it, eh?

       

      btw Deb..also haven't been shopping since the 80's..knit/make all my stuff at home :^)

      luckylager

      Yeah

      World renowned tree skiing. Crazy deep champagne pow...

       

      A buddy of mine worked at a back country lodge in Japan. Best riding he's ever experienced, and the dude's been around the globe with his snowboard.

  17. -88... is that the current temperature on Mars or the Red Wings +/-?

      @Pears amazingly, not even close.

       

      The 1974-75 Capitals scored 181 goals and had 446 goals scored against them for a team +/- of -265.

      OK since we're doing this, how about Aquilini is taking over as GM? I bet if I put that on HFBoards it would trend.

      Listening to the rumours, and Aquilini is already the GM!  :frantic:

      @debluvscanucks the Sabres were being nice, just winning by 3.

       

      If we spank them any harder on the ice he'll say something that rhymes with Clutterbuck on national TV.

  20. "Pettersson! Pettersson! Pettersson!" I'm still buzzing from last night. 

    1. smithers joe

      all that buzzing is keeping me awake.  could you rig yourself for silent running?  what colour of the light, red?

      I'm starting to think they nicknamed Pettersson "Alien" because his helmet looks too big for his head.

       

      Hope the Canucks release some video of his postgame speech.

    1. Devron

      Devron

      Could be the best free agency of all time. I like the Canucks signings but let’s be honest here. The best parts are Johnny Hockey is a Blue Jacket and Matt Murray is the starting goalie in TOR :lol:

    2. Devron

      Devron

      Oh oh I almost forgot. Vegas gave away Patches for free and signed Riley Smith instead haha
