Have some of you older folks around here seen Mad Men? It's set in the 60s and gives viewers a glimpse of the prevailing attitudes towards many issues as well as reactions to many of the events occurring at that time.
Of course nothing can actually compare with living through those times but I really love shows that provide us a window so that we can get a glimpse of the past through the eyes of ordinary people.

My only beef about some of these "period" pieces is that they stretch things. I was born in the 60's and grew up in the 70's, remember That 70's show? They emphasized sex way more than it happened. I'm pretty sure the average office wasn't like that in Made Men neither (sex, sex, sex)...at least that's what my dad said...so once again it's just Hollywood trying to sell to people with sex.

A guy on the bus last night stared at me for a full minute or so while I pretended to look at my phone. After I thought he had looked away, I glanced at him again, he turned around catches my eye and stares at me for another half a minute or so. People can be such freaks.

I am not one to tempt fate.
Nope never going to carry. I don't feel vulnerable enough to even consider that an option. Besides I do not like guns.

Can someone make a thread about Landeskog's player's tribune article? I would but it's rather aggravating copying at pasting from my phone. It's a good read and I think people would find it interesting.

@bleedblue2017 You really need to get a thicker skin or you likely won't last long. Those that get into squabbles over petty matters don't last long around here.
Just some friendly advice.

The first signing will roll in like a minute after free agency begins which of course means that no one cares about the "no discussing terms" rule.

Auston Matthews always looks so indifferent to everything happening around him.
Meanwhile Laine seems to act like a human being and not a robot.
The Europeans, they are taught to have fun and celebrate good things. North Americans are taught that you should be considerate to others and not come across as gloating or "showing somebody up".
Our superstars lack any personality as they don't want to upset the uptight bunch of people who care far too much about such things. This is the same reason why PK Subban rubs people the wrong way yet Jonathan Toews is praised for being the good ol' Canadian boy. We do a good job of stifling charisma and candidness here.
