Jar Of Flies has to be one of the all time best albums ever. EVER. Will never tire of it and if I was stranded somewhere, it'd be a go to.

TT's on 650 right now...short & sweet. As a veteran/leader, what will he share? (Don't take any of it for granted...one year you win the cup, the next you miss the playoffs). He and Pearson have been texting all week...heard the rumours. First practice was good...all new drills but the guys helped out. First trade - a bit awkward not knowing 22 other players on team ...was a bit nervous but has heard good things about the team. Excited to get going. Strange going from heated rival to the team he had some success against, but happy to be here.

I'm kind of glad for the break between games...really absorbing the Sedins' night. Rewatching the ceremony now on SN. When you're there and in the moment, it's a whirlwind so it's nice to go back and see every single little bit in a quiet atmosphere. All the feels take time to process.
So special. -
Fights all over the place...HDIC is awesome.

Let's swear that we will
Get with the times,
In a current health to stay
Let's get friendship right
Get life day-to-day
In the forget-yer-skates dream
Full of countervailing woes
In diverse-as-ever scenes
Proceeding on a need-to-know
In a face so full of meaning
As to almost make it glow -
My Dad told me I'm cranky lately (I am). Work stress and winter.
The great plan I had for biking to work in the Spring/Summer is on hold as our move at work fell through...building was renovated without permits and is a gong show.
Sigh. Goodbye lovely closer to home workplace dream... -
Might have to leave early to beat the snow on the way home. Maybe about 3:30...get home about 4.

Anyone having issues making calls on their cell? Have a few people saying they are, but only to some numbers?

Decent Reeboks for under $50 tax in. Woo! -
Heard some Kobe Bryant news...hope it's fake. Died in a helicopter crash??

I must say Brad Pitt is one of the best actors out there and hasn't done many stinker movies,he is what they call a mans man,appealing to the ladies but also a guy that most men would like to hang out and have a drink or two with.He has done some classic movies Snatch,A River Runs Through It.Once upon a time in Hollywood,the Mexican Legends of the Fall,just to name a few

Any suggestions for a good place to buy a mountain bike (a moderately priced one...not more than $500 or so)? Want to start looking now for Spring/Summer. I have a great frame (Marin) so may just get that fixed if it makes more sense...been outside awhile though, so a new one might be a better option.

@coastal.view Yup. Sorry, I rounded that up a bit. It's $74.70 each way for car & driver. $91.90 if you bring a friend. That's pretty close to $200 for the round trip.
While I would be happy to provide that service for Deb, selecting a bike is a very personal process. It's not just about frame size. If it was, then she could just buy one online and have it delivered.

Just heard a quote during the Canada game about skating ability. Guess who it's about?
"No one went further with less effort" -
Watching old time hockey...the game where Gretz takes over the all time points leader.

problem is deb
that the nhl brass does not honour the game
in the way we as fans feel this should be done
on a team level the nucks have been pretty good
at looking after the post retirement reputation of retired players
burrows is just another example
we as fans saw the honour given to him to be a foregone conclusion
an expectation, not a surprise, and there would have been back lash if burrows were ignored for years
the nhl is simply not the same
howe was largely ignored .. until gretzky
gretzky kept howe in the spotlight while gretzky still played
howe was the greatest nhl player until gretzky
but largely ignored by the nhl
now that legacy is also being visited on gretzky
i guess there is no particular fan base that can speak to or influence nhl brass
we fans are all focused on individual teams
that is why the commissioner's role in keeping the historical spirit of the game alive is somewhat crucial
but he is money/investment focused based on his mandate from ownership
and so we cheer our teams (ignoring the mandate they have given to bettman)
and boo bettman for carrying out his cold-hearted mandate to a tee
the nhl really needs to create
at the nhl level
a position of power to be filled by a key historical player
who has a mandate to keep an eye on protecting the game
