  1. With the owner of Tottenham Hotspur, in court for insider trading. Is there such a thing as an ethical billionaire?

  2. No one reporting, or discussion of Development Camp? Cone of Silence on CDC?

  3. I really want a legit Fender Stratocaster, but to justify dropping 1K on a guitar RN.... I guess life is short right? Yolo?

      @Smashian Kassian Learning to play drums after about a decade of playing guitar was one of the best things I ever did to becoming a better rounded musician. It's just an entirely different way of thinking and feeling the music, and having that sort of cross reference embedded in your brain will only help better your abilities to play live with others, on either instrument.

       

      Wireless transmitters are great. Personally I think the only people that complain about them are dinosaurs or general contrarians who don't know what they're talking about (but you just don't get the same FEEL without a hard cable, man!). The price/quality of them has really improved over the last couple decades, that's for sure. Well worth it to spend $50-75 if you like to move around when playing.

       

      @Gnarcore I have a Les Paul Studio and it's my favourite instrument I've ever owned, maybe only second to my Warwick Corvette. Cool note on the neck sanding; I like your style. Supposedly my grandfather used to have an old J-45 just sitting in his attic for years, I should see what the hell he ever did with it.

  4. Does anyone know where I can buy a vintage AHL jerseys like a Manitoba Moose Jersey when the Canucks were still affiliated with them?

     

    Looking for a dark green/teal one and have had a hard time finding one that isn't advertised as a scam or one that comes from a sketchy dealer.

      Found some on eBay, though may not be exactly what you're looking for:

      They are difficult to find these days.

  5. Petey now has as many career playoff points as McDavid.

    Petey is also a respectable 49% on face offs this playoffs too.

  6. I gotta admit that I'm a little bit confused...
    Sometimes it seems to me as if I'm just being used...

  7. It's happening. Buckle up Canucks Nation. The rematch 17 years in the making!

      That was my first season as a fan (I'd just started watching hockey after that New Years). I was young, but the heartbreak was real.

      Part of it is, they've been facing pushback from the stargazing community because the satellites are obstructing their views. Last I read, they had developed a black foam to fit on the equipment on the Earth-facing sides to reduce their visibility. Don't think that was ready for whenever their last launch was, but I think they've been working on it for a while — Since the first batch went up and they saw complaints.

      Classiiiiiic. I just showed the original clip to my GF a couple weeks ago, because I realized I referenced it and he just looked at my like, "Wtf are you going on about now?"

  11. I got legitimately high for the first time last night and wowee that was a different experience. I think I overdid it just a little though.

  12. I wonder how long it will take for the internet scumbags to start scamming people? anyone seen any scams yet? 

    1. Ralph.

      Ralph.

      Saw something about some happening in Manitoba already.

  13. Prediction: Toffoli and Miller are gonna drag us into the playoffs. 

  14. Going to Edmonton for the first time in a couple of weeks.  Does anyone have any recommendations on what to do and see.

    1. Ralph.

      Ralph.

      Only one place I can think of that's worse... Calgary? :P

  15. With cap decisions on the horizon which D prospects could you see in the lineup next year?

     

    I could see us going the route of having one or more of Juolevi, Rafferty, Rathbone, Woo, and Tram cracking the lineup as opposed to dipping into UFA. 

    1. Ralph.

      Ralph.

      Stetch will be gone, one of Fanta/Benn will be unsigned/traded, and two of Tryamkin (assuming he does come back), OJ, and Rafferty would stay up would be my guess (if Raff continues to progress well). NT88 being the #6 and the other two being #7 and first call-up. Woo joins the Comets for next season and Rathbone signs spring 2021, maybe gets a few games in.

       

      I'm perfectly happy if this happens instead of chasing any FAs.

  17. Where do people hear about player fan signings? Just saw Naslund did one at Metrotown yesterday but I didn’t see anything about it until after it was done. I need to know

    1. Ralph.

      Ralph.

      Aw what!? I was there yesterday and didn't have a clue. Favourite player growing up too...

  18. I honestly don't get what the Stars' deal is. Benn and Seguin are currently a worse offensive first line than Horvat and Pearson are as a two-way second line

    1. Ralph.

      Ralph.

      Wow, Benn's numbers are brutal.

  19. Gonna go to downtown in a bit for some photos and some poutine. Hopefully the snow holds up :3

  20. RIP Neal Peart - Absolute legendary drummer/musician

      @Jimmy McGill I took my dad last time they came to Rogers (we'd seen them together before). We went bar hopping all day before (my sister served us beer at two different establishments that day :lol:) and I ended up getting kicked out for being too drunk after about 4 songs. Even got a picture of myself looking wasted behind that HNIC drumkit. Good times. We left and had a great rest of the night together anyways, a night neither of us will forget.

  21. is it too early to start drinking?

    1. Ralph.

      Ralph.

      Do it. I've got a nice bottle of Akashi White Oak waiting for me as soon as I get out of this hell people call "work."
