  1. I love this one Shooter; must be from a movie though, eh? What are they? North Korean? M.A.S.H.?
  2. Both goals the same; second one: no goalie.
  3. People who equate tough with goon are the real dinosaurs. Such a stale old argument "there are no more goons" lmao!
  4. Or we could just not watch him, listen to him, quote him on here, etc. It would be fine by me.
  5. Yes, the big team JR and PA have assembled seem to be very talented and worthy of the dependence placed on them. As fans, we come through every event (such as draft day or the TDL) having learned a lot from this crew. At least I do, some on here seem to learn very little and hang onto their failed predictions far too long.
  6. Think back to school days; 50% correct was a pass. That means that a lot passed when they were wrong about half the time. You can be wrong a lot and still stay on a discussion board. Not so much in a real NHL POHO/GM position.
  7. Near as I can tell, it is childish minds thinking they are clever.
  8. Do the Canucks understand the value of cap space? No. Only dougieL understands, right?
  9. Yeah, I think I have everything he has written, except obscure stuff; the early stuff was the best by far, imo. Rum Diaries never could fly, Better Than Sex was dull, etc. He had an hilarious interview on Letterman. e.g. Letterman asked him about his drinking problem. Thompson reached out, grabbed his glass, and said, "What drinking problem? Its right here in front of me." They kept him in The Green Room for so long, he chatted up the other guest, forget who she was, but they had a camera on them.
  10. Don't forget The Undertaker. Who can ever forget that drink of piss and moan?
  11. Stetch didn't look that good in his last game; and no matter what, he is still too small.
  12. Thanks (1972, not 1968); also his coverage (without ever actually covering) the Kentucky Derby was hilarious.
  13. HST also wrote Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail (about the 1968 1972 (thanks @tas) Democratic Campaign for the Presidency) which is an absolute riot as well; though it is now dated. It was a collection of articles basically, that he wrote for The Rolling Stone and it was something nobody had ever said, done, or written before; a veritable screed through the dregs of US Politics, with Ralph Steadman adding incredible drawings: Politicians on drugs and booze etc, etc.
  14. 2 movies; Murray's & Penn's. Loved both of them. I still have several copies of the book, 2 of which are 1st editions (but all are dog-eared ragged, lol).
  15. We'll all have to pour beer on our chests after That Big Win Against Toronto! ..you know, to facilitate the tanking process.
  16. Well, the Canucks organization, through Vintage Canuck posts Drance's twits, and none of us (in our right minds that is) is going to put VC on Ignore.
  17. What is it with that hat? Has he got a tumor the size of an avocado under there?
