  1. I am shocked and appalled by this!!!!! Imagine naming Canadian Youth Hockey tiers after famous WW2 Nazi U-Boats!!!! Makes me sick to my stomach
  2. Hey guys have any of you heard from Kryten since the last game?
  3. Young guys with a sh&t ton of money, get into drugs? I don't believe it.
  4. You're Probably right, but anything the Leafs do I'm suspicious of
  5. My guess is waiver circumvention, like the crap they pulled with Corrado.
  6. Translation: I would kill the children of a thousand planets just to see you smile!
  7. For me Linden in a heartbeat but Ohlund and Edler shouldn’t be classified as “other” over some of the others listed.
  8. Foolproof plan: 1. Miss playoffs (NJ makes Playoffs) 2. Trade for Hall's negotiating rights (3rd Rounder) 3. Win Draft Lotto (1st Overall) 4. Trade Hall's negotiating rights (4th Rounder) 5. Win Cup 2021 (Tampa gets 32nd pick)
  9. Holy crap I think someone caught Benning in bed with their wife.
  10. The only thing BW partakes in now is paying hookers to wear Danny Devito masks.
  11. I think it was in regards to how BW's favorite pastime is self-pleasuring in public theaters.
  12. I personally feel it was more compromising than caving, though I admit I wasn't there when the deals happened. For me anything short of selling his soul to the devil to get Christy the Criminal out of our lives was well worth it.
  13. Interesting tidbit about Shayne Churla is that his second cousin was the late great Rick Rypien.
  14. Then you should read Mario’s Biography because it’s well covered in there.
  15. Agreed. Elite skill, IMO, is part of the requirement to use that number. Also, Mario always conducted himself humbly and with humility, I would say that would be another requirement to use that number, again something Ho-Sang seems to lack, but maybe being waived will help in that area.
  16. For me Mario represented a different way to the top. One that wasn't seemingly laid out for him every step of the way. The story of Mario is one of not just elite skill and talent but that of perseverance. Gretzky cements his place as the best ever, but IMO, the road for him was made as smooth as possible. Mario's ascent to the top seemed to one where he had to scratch and fight and claw his way up. From the get go he was already at a disadvantage because Gretz came before him. Also Mario being Quebecois did not endear him to NHL fans the same way that Gretz had. We speak of racism now but imagine what it was like in the 80s for a young phenom moving up the ranks of junior. There are stories of him being accosted, ridiculed, being spat at and even having to be escorted out of buildings because parents of opposing team's players wanted to physically hurt him. Some of his own problems were self inflicted like the fact that he smoked while playing at the level he did but growing up in Quebec in the 70s and 80s who didn't? Then the health issues. Gretz never had to deal with the same health issues that plagued Mario. Like I said some self inflicted (smoking) but others not of his making whatsoever (back spasms). In fact there was always sort of an unspoken rule for Gretzky that he was untouchable for the true cheapshots and dirty plays. From the moment Mario hit the ice it was open season on him. The abuse on-ice that Mario recieved was nothing short of shocking, if you were around to witness it. Clutching, grabbing, cheap shots, but it was all OK because he was a big guy. Yes it's undeniable that Gretz is the best player in history especially looking at the stats, but Mario's story resonates with a lot of us because of the conditions under which he was able to accomplish what he did. So the league may not have retired his number but many fans have and if you're going to wear a number that has so much meaning to so many, you better be prepared for the focus and scrutiny that comes with that. If you can't mentally handle it, my advice is simply: don't do it, there are a lot of other numbers out there.
  17. I will definitely let him know. The money is ridiculous, stacks of cash lol literally stacks. Hell I told him I would be willing to quit my job for a high paying position but he said his biggest issue for man power is trimming and he has a trim team that smoke and trim all day long lol. Apparently a big part of the sales is in appearance and so that’s why they still do it by hand vs machines.
  18. As far as I know he uses LEDs only for veg and HPS for budding. I believe the issue with solely LED for veg and bud is in the spread of light. The lumens /sq ft are still far superior with HPS and the only real advantage that LED has is in energy consumption which is just a write off any way but if the setup was illegal I think LED would be used a lot more lol.
  19. Not actually my place it’s my good friend’s - he is a licensed producer. What you see there is a proprietary strain called gorilla glue (I believe it is in reference to how sticky icky it is lol) apparently it goes for top dollar I am told. He is always trying to give me big bags of it but I don’t mess with the reefer anymore. Last month I believe he did 83 some odd pounds (just out of that location) and the LDs only buy in 5 10 or 20 pound bundles so he was trying to give me a bunch lol. He takes me on tours of the locations but I really don’t know much about the operation except that they are large. Generally no problems with mold or bugs as we have to suit up to go into those places but I am told that strain is quite resilient even if that should be an issue. Also you see in the pics that there are super fans blowing on all of that stuff to prevent mold and they have climate control. a fun fact is that a few months ago he had a total crop failure, not due to bugs or mold but because they installed infrared security cameras which for some reason or another killed all the plants.
