    My Dad is the most amazing man I know. In his 80's, he had to have an already replaced hip redone - a very tough operation as everything was cemented in and had to be removed first.  They started the op only to discover...he also had a fractured femur!  No wonder he's been struggling and in pain!  But he silently sucked it up and still tried to garden and care for his cat.

      Oh Deb, I'm so sorry to hear this....what pain he must have been in and yet no complaints. Did any of his doctors not think to take an x-ray to see what was going on in that leg...especially because that is a hip replacement leg? My heart hurts for both of you as so much quality pain-free time has been missed... Sending love and hugs from afar and wishing your Dad as speedy a recovery as possible! <3

      He'll garden...  you know he'll garden!  He'll take care of his cat and garden on crutches if he has to!  

       

      :) 

       

      I wish him a full recovery from the surgery Deb!

      Sorry to hear about that Deb.  I'm sure he will pull through.  He is one tough dude.  Tell him Petey says hi.  I'll score a hattrick for him in our first game next year...  :)

    I am washing outside things these days.  Deck.  Car.  Mostly an excuse to spray myself with the hose (with a shut off valve of course...no wasting water!).

    Too damn hot.

      Patel Bure

      Bure created some of my greatest childhood memories during the 90’s.

       

      I was Pavel Bure on every single goal that I scored on my drive way playing street hockey with my friends.    
       

      His goal in 1994 against the Flames is one of my favorite memories in life, along with his very first shift against the Jets in his first game.   
       

      Safe to say that I’ll be listening to this interview.

    4. Nuxfanabroad

      Nuxfanabroad

      Also recall his first night, & that hysteria which swept over the Lower Rainland at the time. Them early 90's teams were such a breath of fresh air.

       

      We'd straight-out sucked for 2 decades, then suddenly were one of the most exciting squads to watch.

  10. -DLC-

    Really great seeing Canada rise up to the occasion and not let the early faltering get in their heads.

    A great win!

      Wonder what that plane trip home'll be like?  Canada and the US on the same plane.  I imagine it's all good at that point....tourney's over, so just a bunch of guys relaxing and having fun.

      I wonder if they make the US team sit in the back :lol: its probably all good, likely a lot of fun.

    SO ticked off.  Was really looking forward to the Canada semi final game today...except I guess the 10:30 am game I saw in the guide is a replay and they announced the winner on the news!  Will watch anyhow, but damn.  I was up in the wee hours too...didn't even THINK to look for it on the TV.

      Shaw is such a mess.  Their guide showed it at 10:30 this morning.  They updated the guide just before and it no longer shows it there!

      Hopefully Kes has had some production/acting lessons since his Between Two Zambonis (or whatever his show was called in Anaheim).  Otherwise, it'll be another trainwreck.

      Saved AV's job with this goal (WAY, WAY back in the first year of Gillis as GM), there was a fair bit of pressure to fire Vigneault for 'high up' the organization (Vigneault implied this as much after he was let go by Gillis years later) during that very long stretch where we lost a bunch of games:

      Funny how 44 years ago, one of the greatest bands to ever walk the Earth charged $10 for a show in Seattle. Times have changed. The talent has monumentally waned, yet these "artists" now charge 40 times the price for a fraction of the concert.

      PhillipBlunt

      @coho8888 I hear you. Plant didn't want to retread through the past and tour. I agree with him. That band would play for up to (and many times over) three hours a night. Can't see how the remaining members could maintain that standard over what would be a world tour, with well over a hundred dates.

      Love it!  We are on the way back up now and these type of memories will be created again.

       

      Any sad sacks who are still posting how we've made mistakes in the past need to let it go and start cheering for the team again.  Enough with fans who think it is more important to complain than cheer!

    Every year our strata gets a 20 ft trailer to throw away crap that can't go in the garbage bin.  Other weirdos are carrying out a broken lamp.  A small aquarium.   A plastic pet carrier with a broken door.

    Then there's me.  Hauling a two seater leather loveseat and solid wood super heavy cabinet a block down the sidewalk to get to the bin in the back.  Bikes.  Eyeing up my old fridge downstairs...hmmmm.

    I win.

      Before I moved back to Vancouver, I had some furniture that wasn't going back with me.

      I left it by the curb near a tall apartment building, where people basically had a free stuff section.

    Hockey's becoming a cesspool side show.

      Yeah, I also date the corruption back to the early 90's.

       

      It's a Yank-run league now, & they always want to win. Rigged decks are their specialty. From politics to foreign policy, to the sport of bread & circuses.

       

      I'd been b*tching about this a long time, beforehand. Now it's become blatantly obvious.

      at the risk of getting whined at more about "conspiracy theories" by some around here, you do have a good point. Thats why I really like to enjoy things like prospect development and enjoy the small stuff because sometimes the big picture stinks.

    Well that feels better.  Throw on some loud music, do a kick ass cardio/taibo inspired workout and release all that pent up frustration.
