  1. Was already working from home before all this, only difference now is I can’t see clients at all. So that’s a little frustrating. But things are actually busier and more money is coming in than before (and it was already good before).
  2. Toronto releases: Shane Hindy Trevor Linden Niko Kapanen Johnny Pohl Wade Belak

    Tough. Love the relaxed life and affordability where I live now. However, wife and I will have considerable money when we’re 60, which is 23 years away. At that point, we’ve discussed Arizona.
  4. https://www.ctvnews.ca/mobile/sports/edmonton-oilers-forward-colby-cave-dies-at-age-25-1.4892172
  5. The Platform Netflix acquired it and it’s currently at 82% on RT. Think they screwed up, should be at 28%. This movie is garbage.
  6. Year End Roundup Toronto sucked. As expected. There were positives, though. Alex Ponikarovsky: 61 points Matt Stajan: 58 points David Perron: 53 points Bryan McCabe also had 39 points, which was a big increase over last season. With a better club, he’d produce a lot more. The biggest area of improvement is, I don’t know, everything? Huge prospect pool, with a number of standouts in production, the two with the highest production and NHL ready already are Nik Kulemin (still signed overseas) and Anton Stralman. Hoping to see both on the club next season. Lots of picks in the draft. Need to come out with one high end prospect.
  7. The Social Network In the middle of watching it, for probably the 8th time. I can always watch it. To me, one of the best films in the last 20 years. This is one of the best scenes.
  8. I started this about a year ago and turned it off after 10 minutes. Not because I didn’t want to watch it, but I’m sure it had everything to do with my daughter waking up. Totally forgot about it. Will watch it this weekend.
  9. Angel Has Fallen I can’t believe this is the 3rd movie in a trilogy. I’ve seen all 3, but the first one is not only the most memorable, but also has the highest budget in the series. This movie not only made the least of the 3, but the budget was far, far less. And it shows. For a movie made in 2019, the special effects looked straight out of 1999, for a TV movie. It was really off putting. But effects don’t make a good film. The story does. And this, for what’s supposed to be a popcorn movie, was entirely forgetting, dull, and lazy. The series as a whole isn’t good, but at least the first movie feels like they tried (Antoine Fuqua directed the entry). At a certain point I paused it and my wife and I had a conversation about how, in the past, a trilogy used to be a big deal; an event for movies that were considered tent pole films. Now, everything gets a trilogy, no matter how bland it is. This is the first major motion picture I’ve seen (I know there are a lot of B movies that are straight to video ie: Tremor series) that made it to theatres, and had no business being in the theatres. This movie blows.
  10. He’s had 4 buyers. Sucks that one bowed out after I accepted the deal
  11. Even cooking pancakes in bacon grease is a must.
  12. To be fair, I'm sure there are at least 6 articles on Sportsnet that claim Barabanov's play will, in fact, cure Covid-19.
  13. Even with an “ok” weight setup at home where I can do 80% of my regular exercises, I’m still having a difficult time keeping motivated like before. I’m still doing my workouts, but it’s starting to feel a lot different, and I can tell today that I’m not pushing myself as hard, and I’m starting to not care about pushing myself further. As long as I still workout, that’s the main thing. But the drive to go harder isn’t there. I think being at the gym around others to push further than them is what motivates me.
  14. Went to sleep at 8pm last night (6pm PST). Got up at 7am. Needed that. In case that happens again tonight, I’d prefer to get all trades done during the day (during my 6 conference calls )
  15. Antropov, Ponikarovsky, St Louis, McCabe, Kubina. Get em. Please.
  16. Take my players not named Perron or Stajan.
  17. How is it that I’m not in the running for worst in the league with Andrew Raycroft in net?
  18. If someone knows the daily recommended dose of coffee and alcohol to get through this, please let me know.
  19. Trades Mike Peca to assist with rebuild. Bumps Ben Ondrus up to 2nd line. Wins 4 in a row
  20. This no hockey thing has been a real bummer. But the Isles have had some positive news in regards to prospects and our roster next season, without any extensions in place (bold will either be on the club or in the AHL): Jakub Voracek - Nazem Kadri - Artemi Panarin Andreas Johnsson - Lars Eller - Patrik Laine Tyler Ennis - Zemgus Girgensons - Julien Gauthier Brendan Lemieux - Alex Barre Boulet - Alexander Barabanov Andreas Athanasiou Keith Yandle - Matt Dumba Jaccob Slavin - Rasmus Andersson Alec Martinez - Henri Jokiharju Chris Tanev - Justin Holl Scott Perunovich Carter Hart All bolded are possible new additions to the lineup, which means I won’t be going after any roster free agents once things resume. The one bolded player who is also in italics is Henri Jokiharju. He’s the one player who’s received the most attention in trade talks. If interested, the Buffalo defender indeed can be moved. However, I’d be looking at a minimum of a first round pick in return.
