  1. All the people here blaming the victim... Yes, Lucic could have been smarter and decided not to go out. But he wasn't doing anything wrong, he was merely doing something risky. You're allowed to do things that are risky. Assault, on the other hand, is crossing the line. This guy went too far. You can compare it to the Thornton/Orpik incident if you want. Yes Orpik could have seen it coming and fought Thornton, even though he had done nothing wrong. Still doesn't excuse Thornton's mugging.
  2. The scenario you suggested is possible, but I think it's a reasonable assumption to make that this was a Canucks fan, considering it was in downtown Vancouver, after a Canucks vs Bruins game where the Canucks absolutely kicked the Bruins' ass, and the hatred shown towards Boston by the fans. Still though, there's no reason for the average Canucks fan to feel ashamed or embarassed by this. I had nothing to do with this, you had nothing to do with this, none of my friends had anything to do with this. I don't feel bad about something that was out of my control. Btw can't decide if this guy had massive balls for trying to pick a fight with one of the toughest guys in the NHL, or if he only did it because he suspected that Lucic would probably not fight back due to his status as an NHL player.
  3. I understand how he feels, it's not just this incident, he's had trouble with Canucks fans in the past. The 0.0001% of Canucks fans that are assholes don't represent everyone, but it only takes 1 idiot to ruin your day.
  4. This game will be unreal in NHL revealed.
  5. I'm wondering why the rule they are using against Thornton (aggressor rule) wasn't used against Ray Emery, who obviously should have been suspended.
  6. The hit looked fine to me. No he didn't HAVE to make it but he's allowed to. Could've been interference maybe. But the head wasn't the main point of contact. Hundreds of players have made similar or worse hits, not very many of them were straight up mugged later on. I don't think anyone expected that to happen. I know hockey is emotional but it sucks how guys go out and pick fights with someone who made a legal hit. The Bruins are one of the worst teams for this.
  7. What is Julien even trying to say here? His player made a disgusting assault on a defenseless opponent, it's pretty clear cut what happened. Sounds like a politician. At least Thornton was honest instead of coming out with some "I was protecting myself" BS like the Bruins usually do, unlike Julien. Still, too bad he didn't think of that before he mugged a guy. Sorry Shawn, your ways and your teammates ways are finally coming back to bite you.
  8. Typical Bruins, spout off some BS about how honourable they are and how they play "the right way" and then go do something cheap and cowardly. Thornton is an absolute goon on that play. Orpik made a good hit, he does not deserve to be assaulted on the ice. What Neal did is also irrelevant, nothing wrong with sticking up for teammates but Thornton took it way too far. On such a clear cut intent to injure, there is no excuse to not drop the hammer. 20+ games at minimum for a disgusting "play".
  9. Bad Grandpa: 8.5/10 Tons of funny scenes, nearly pissed myself a couple of times Captain Phillips: 7.5/10 Dialogue was a little cheesy and the acting was a little weirs sometimes, but overall it was suspenseful and a good adrenaline rush
  10. Protein shakes are not useless for anyone. If you want to gain muscle, you absolutely need protein. It doesn't have to be a protein shake, it can be from food as well. But protein shakes are a convenient way to add a good chunk of protein into your day, whether you are Mr. Olympia champ or a total noob. Also protein powder by itself is a natural product. Protein is protein no matter where it comes from. Sure some companies add stuff for flavouring, but you're making it out to be some borderline steroid. As for preworkout, I don't think it's worth the money, but it does have benefits.
  11. If you're gonna mention the website, you have to mention the app. So convenient, I can log everything right when I eat it, even when I go out. I especially like the barcode scanner feature.
  12. It will take years to reach your full potential, but you can make a huge improvement in one year, especially if it's your first year of lifting. You have to remember that the average person has a pretty unimpressive physique, so if you do things properly for a full year you will probably look better than 90% of the general population. You may not be huge but you can easily look "strong" or "athletic" to the average joe.
  13. I don't agree with trading Kesler but he does need better linemates. Kesler has never been an offensive player anyways, yes he is capable offensively but he's more of an all-around two way player who gets his goals from hard work rather than skill and creativity. If we can't find better players to provide offense we need to change our style to suit our strengths.
  14. People tend to cut carbs because it's the easiest thing to cut to lose calories. Carbs are the easy target because you don't want to cut your protein intake.
  15. I have the same "problem" but I find it to be an advantage. Makes it easier to get that strong muscular "V" shape that everyone wants. Maybe once you cut it'll look very solid. Only problem is I look big from the front but flat from the side like a piece of plywood, but I can always add more thickness.
  16. I still use the same lifting routine as I did while bulking. I absolutely hate cardio so instead I play sports. Stick and puck once a week with hard skating, and lots of road hockey and football outside.
  17. Yes actually, I'm in almost the exact same boat as far as weight. Started at 181, down to 176-177 but I started a little later. Once I'm down I'll do a long clean bulk over the winter.
  18. Any of you guys know of cheap skin products for stretch marks? I've got some pretty bad ones between my delts and arms. I take them as a good sign that I'm making gains, but it looks like like I have patches of bacon.
  19. The good news is the losses aren't permanent though, you might be a little smaller and have a little less energy in the gym but you can easily regain it once you start using again. You would only lose water weight, no actual muscle.
  20. If you've been going hard in the gym the last couple months, a week off doesn't hurt. Keeps you fresh and gives your body some extra recovery time.
