  1. Here's what I don't get.  You're doing a little online shopping and their website says if you spend just $2 more you will get free shipping.  So you select a small item.  Then, when you get the order confirmation, they split up the order and ship the items separately.  Wouldn't they have been ahead of the game if they had just given me the free shipping on the original items?

      I still think they could come up with an algorithm that says "close enough, we're going to throw in shipping for free anyways".

      I don’t get on-line shopping.  It’s fun to go to a store, and zoom around looking at stuff.  Don’t these on-line shoppers miss the whole “buzz” from the journey?

      The “prorated” cost to send and extra $2 item is probably close to $0.00, no? It’s a long term game they are playing with hundreds of customers over multiple purchases. In the end they make more money, or else they wouldn’t do it. 

  2. Hmmm... it seems my credit card got to go to the Raptors game while I was at home in Victoria.

      Thanks for the fabulous evening. The whole night was a slam dunk. ::D

      American Express, I don't leave your house without it.

      Apparently it left the house without me.

  3. Hopefully not too many of these North Division games go to OT or shootout.  It will be extra hard to make up ground with every game being in-division.

  4. I enjoy how Sportsnet feels it is necessary to clarify that Wednesday Night Hockey is, in fact, on Wednesday.

      Well, there could be Albertans watching^_^

      I wish the NFL would remind me its Monday Night Football:rolleyes:

      I sometimes forget what times and days the games are on, especially when games start at 4:30pm/7:30pm. So if they say Wednesday Night Hockey is on Wednesdays, that's great, but then again, sometimes I forget which day it is and have to check my phone. I've been home a lot and the days and nights go by just like that. 

  5. I gotta say, I'm really enjoying watch the Bruins collapse in this game tonight.

    1. goalie13

      goalie13

      The collapse is complete.  Panthers come back from 4-0 to start the third to win 5-4 in the shootout.

      wow they won.

  6. I know it's just the AHL, but it's still game 7.

      No Comets....no care.:)

       

      (though I certainly ain't cheering for the Marlies!)

    2. Where's Wellwood

      Where's Wellwood

      I'm surprised they got pushed to a game 7. Though the 6-1 scoreline indicates it wasn't very competitive.

  7. I know things can change a lot over the next 24 games, but there is a chance we could see the 4 Western Canadian teams play each other in the playoffs, thus guaranteeing one makes the Conference finals.

    1. HerrDrFunk

      HerrDrFunk

      I'd love to see 4 Canadian teams and no California teams. 

    2. goalie13

      I think you will get your wish on the California teams.

    3. King Heffy

      King Heffy

      I'd still be highly surprised to see either of the AHLberta teams make it.

  8. I know this would be difficult to pull off, but it would be awesome if the first and last day of the NHL regular season featured 16 games each.

      With various shutdowns over the past two years, we're lucky to get the playoffs started in May. 

    2. Rubik

      Rubik

      15 games will be on tonight. i don't think adding one more would make such a big difference. I don't see why it would be difficult to pull off... do it Bettman!

  9. I love working from home.  I'm watching the Canada - Swiss game right now.

      Consulting is interesting as contract work leaves options for free time between gigs. My background is varied, but I'm thinking about picking up some new skills.

       

      Forgive my vagueness, for some reason I tend to keep certain aspects of my life private.

      I prefer not to work from home.  I focus on work. when I am at work, and prefer to focus on other than work when I am not at work.  I tried working from home, and it was very boring.  I am actually at home right now due to being sick. 

    4. goalie13

      goalie13

      It's not for everyone.  But I have an office in my home so I can easily focus on my task.  And I've always worked well with background noise, so having a random hockey game on is not a problem for me.  The biggest plus is the commute.

  10. I never thought I would find myself watching Ultimate on TV.

      That's great!   Awesome sport and it's rate of growth is crazy.

  11. I saw Weird Al's Strings Attached concert last night.  So much fun!

      I've seen him, only once tho, in concert. Very impressive performer!

      I like to ask them how their Mom's doing, to start, especially if I'm feeling hostile. There's an escalation process involved too, it's pretty fun.

       

      Repeating everything they say with a ridiculous accent is also really enjoyable. I use that one when the kids are in earshot.

      it says your in Victoria, so when you see a 1 800# or some other weird # you answer firmly 'Victoria rcmp , Saanich detachment', and that's all you'll have to say. it works for me. B) you'll hear a click.

      The funny thing is, they claim to work for my ISP when I really do work for my ISP.

  13. I'm going to watch the draft just to see if Arizona drafts Everett Silvertips' defenseman Wyatt Wylie.  :lol:

      If they don’t that’s an automatic fail.

      @Cromeslab - I played Kamloops G&CC Monday, Eagle Point yesterday.  Both were spectacular.  Thanks for the tips!

  15. I'm hoping this ends tonight as I'm not available Sunday and I hate missing the last game of the season.

      This game is going to game 6. Too much pressure on Washington down.

      I don't have to call in sick for Sunday dinner at Mom's house now.

      I'm glad you don't. I can't believe Washington finished off Vegas in 5!!! Happy Days.

  16. I'm watching the Bruins - Canes game, but only for the Whalers jerseys.

      You will be happy to know then, the Bruins just got scored on.

  17. If that goal stands, that was a wild way for the Hawks to win.

      Sadly, time had run out.  :(

  18. Imagine CDC if they had selected Konecny, Roslovic or Juulsen instead.

      @-AJ- I believe you mean "2018 Olympian Bobby Sanguinetti is absolutely ripping it up in the Swiss league."

  19. Is there anyone we haven't traded Tanev to yet?

      av and tanev union has already been proposed

      but av is no longer part of nyr

      so i guess that one can use a fresh look :P

       

      maybe vgk would trade sbisa to us for tanev ?

    3. 6string

      6string

      One dude has Tanev traded twice daily.  Tanev is not going anywhere with the state of our defense.

    4. Ghostsof1915

      Ghostsof1915

      State of Tanev's health is the main factor. 

  20. Is this anyone here?

      I'd suggest leaving them in there for 24 hours but certain people like the elderly or individuals with mobility issues require the use of that elevator.

  21. It just doesn't feel like the playoffs until the Leafs are eliminated.

  22. It takes a special kind of person to yell and swear at the 15 year old cashier at the grocery store because she's the only one working, as if it's her fault.

      I am grateful to be seeing all this hockey....it takes away the depression from job hunting.  Times are tough but  hockey takes it allllll away!

  24. It's days like TDL day that it's extra great to work from home.

    1. AlwaysACanuckFan

      AlwaysACanuckFan

      Perhaps TDL will be a National Holiday 

       

  25. It's game day!  Canada vs Latvia, 10am PDT on TSN1.  Go Canada Go!
