  1. The Missus & I have a drinking-problem!

    (did I drive her to it?!)

    We've been going thru 2 lt. bottles of green tea, like you folks down fancy beers.

    It's 38~40 degrees(& humid lika' sauna) here for eternity. DON'T visit Japan in July/Aug. Move 2020 games to a cooler planet!!!

      you shouldn't drink and drive, even if you have a yen to. 

  2. Yes..been anticipating an emerging Baer-market :^)
  3. I've been bullish on this kid for a long time. In March started a thread suggesting they go 10 mill/4 yrs, bc I expect he'll break out. What a set of wheels!
  4. Has anyone reassessed the plan of having Sir Elton moonlight serenade the big guy at his Siberian gulag(sans reefer) apt window? "Ohh Nikita you will never know How shoddy we've been in our zone We'll never see how good you look, paired with Hughes OHHH NO! Nikita we need you so ...NIKITAaaaaaa Captive by old Willie in the show!"
  5. MGTOW pt2

     

    Early 90's I was frustrated with relationships. My long-term ex had moved back to Alberta.

     

    That's when I moved to Japan, finding a lovely lass(23 yrs, been hitched).

     

    Ftr, always loved ladies..but I do appreciate the frustration young men can feel with relationships in modern times. It'd be hypocritical of me to pretend otherwise.

      What would Archie Bunker say? Or for that matter, Willie Shakespeare, John Lennon or George Carlin??

       

      Times like these, I'd love to hear insights from such minds(existed or Hollywood created)...

      I was frustratingly single for a long time so feel for people in the same spot, but in almost all cases the issues are within, not the other gender.  I finally figured out my mental block and it made things much simpler.

  6. MGTOW?

     

    ...Acronym for "Men Going Their Own Way"

    Curious & watched a few youtube clips on this. Has anyone here observed friends/fam getting in on this social movement? Is it more prominent in the States?

      Baer.

      A lot of these terms have been around for years on the internet. Why they are just becoming mainstream now is probably just due to social climate, otherwise I'm not sure.

      From a distant view(literally, being my own), it does appear motivated from a united(amongst many males, mostly) frustration at the heightened hybrid of liberalism, feminism & their pointed-criticism of men's traditional roles/significance within modern society.

       

      I find this quite interesting, as it appears a pendulum swinging back in their direction.

       

      The internet makes such movements(that would normally peter out) go exponential.

      It's the flip side of the #metoo movement...behold the #mefirst movement.

  7. Let's HELP the 'Ning-Dynasty!

     

    Granny & MDZ(50%..3 mill AAV!) cheap

     

    JT Miller & that Cuckoo guy

    (6 millAAV!)

  8. 40 grade 3 rug-rats!

     

    Helped the Missus yesterday with her Elementary English class. Cute kids..We did Canadian Animal Bingo!(colouring grizzlies, beavers & moose, eh??)..with 6 diff colours.

    Absolute mayhem! Tired today 

    zzzzzzzzzzzzz.......

  9. Prob tomorrow..he booked the hair salon today(TML diehards claim).
  10. July post - .. One thing I've lately enjoyed is seeing(Capfriendly) how low we are down the list of teams(currently 20th; being July 10th) for total cap-hit. Been so long we've been stuck near the top(despite losing lots), as the fallout of our top-end yrs. I'm interested whether we weaponize some of that AAV space, with our surplus of bodies, as well as an upcoming draft to host. Let's get 12~14 picks for next June! - Oct 1st prediction: 27th OA finish(14th in west); roster not finalized quite yet..don't matter(great, waived Gags!) Okay, seems like slim-pickins, this yr. Pts leader: Bo with 65 EP: 57 pts(25 & 32) Brock: 32 goals Jake: 21 snipes Goldy also bags 25 Markstrom ends up .916, 2.50 GAA 3 SO's(pretty solid season, all considered) Nilsson(20 games) .904, 2.90 GAA(then it's later alligator) - Big trades? Near TDL, Edler & Sutter. Gaining an extra 1st & 2nd for home draft(& some more decent pieces) - Gaudette plays half a season in bigs. Emerging in spring with a nicely rounded-out game - Utica makes final-4. Demko has an excellent yr. He comes up to stay, late-season - Our best D to close out season? In order: Tanev, Hutton, OJ, Sautner - Man games lost: 250 The upswing waits 'til next yr.
  11. Sad that we can't believe much in this net-universe. If I'm thinking something, then type it & send it out there..I can no longer believe it myself ! (disclosure: am Gemini)
  12. I remember standin on the corner at midnite

    Tryin to get my courage up...

    There was this long, lovely dancer, in a little club downtown

    Loved to watch her do her stuff...

    Through long lonely nights, she filled my sleep

    Her body softly swayin', to that smoky beat

    Down on Main Street

      There seemed to be a stretch there when Bob Seger's music could be found in a bunch of quite popular movies....

      @NewbieCanuckFan ,  Bob kinda jumped the shark with his 80's movie flick, pop songs..but what a 70's catalogue he has!

       

      Main St & Night Moves should be trademarked/patented for authentic pop song nostalgia. Reading that 1977's Main St was about #26 on Billboard, but was #1 ! in Canada. We knew our quality rock, back in the day.

  13. I hear Rob Zepp went missing(yrs back) after contractual (& concussion protocol) disagreements with Bettman(& his mob, henchmen)..knowing that whacked backups tell no tales, they then assigned some yes-man to adopt his handle(impersonating a real-life, human hockey player) & promptly deluge popular hockey boards as a league-apologist, whilst claiming knowledge as a savvy insider, once employed amongst the God-like, elite! Someone shed light on this potentially diabolical crime!!!
  14. Ha..great! Then Scorcese's 'Taxi Driver' was warning of the oncoming mess(entities like HFBoards) soon exploiting the little'uns, until some badassss finally shows up to take out the garbage! In the "group-think" & petty taunting within such boards I'm getting pretty turned off with the whole shebang. Comparatively, there's much more respect(diff posters/opinions) around here..but all of this stuff must eventually detract from people's ability to sit down & have a reasonable conversation.
  15. Which begs the question..are the mods there perhaps playing the role of duplicitous, manipulative Nurse Ratchid? btw, as great as the flick was, Kesey's novel was probably even better!(so much brilliant culture in them 1970's)
  16. Interesting that 2 local blokes are the remaining contracts they've left to sew up.
  17. My word, HFBoards('Nucks page) is an insufferable cast of clowns(posing as Canuck backers). Right now they have a thread questioning WHEN the rebuild(-jig, vamp, reno, etc...) actually began? ..there's a poll, where over 70! effin' % suggest it hasn't even started yet! This despite Mgt accumulating the best prospect-stash in team history!!! :^) There's certainly a cynical agenda being run over there. Glad the ownership disregarded such petty saboteurs, handing JB a fresh contract/clean slate. Finally the team(& farm system) should be mostly composed of the skilled, character youth he's been steadily accumulating. 2013(as I first stated here, back in Oct), is when we started knocking down walls(eg: getting Bo!)..but some haters just want to rock the boat.
  18. Hi SF1..Forgot precisely what you sent to the Avs, for ROR? Are you pleased with the trade-off? Coupled with the Kane return, you people are doing some shameless hoarding!
  19. Gotta' be the busiest/costliest FAgency day in league history?

     

    What % is attributable to the extra cap-bump from expansion?

  20. Raugh out Roud StLoo appears a team that's destined to get 75~80% to the summit..each & every yr. As mentioned, very sketchy 'tending.
