    nothing even close to a mainstream juggernaut like you do down there. the "sun" publications in toronto and winnipeg are. and even those have turned more liberal over the years, from what I've heard. I stopped reading the WPG sun years ago as it was just trash.

    Patrick Roy returns to NHL to coach the Isles, that’s a stunner.

    on Halloween I saw 3 houses with that party’s signs up and they were all dark, no candy left out.

    too bad his first game isn't against the Canadiens. His first road game in that job is in Montreal though.

  • I’m heading to Vagus on March 7th for a few days. Going to grab tickets for the Nucks/Nighties. 
    Heard it’s a helluva good time at T-Mobile Arena. Looking forward to it.

    Ridiculous. I don’t drink much at all anymore, and never at sporting events or concerts. If more people spoke with their wallets and simply refused to pay those prices, they would come down. Having said that, a main problem is, so many seats are corporately owned and all the booze purchased is a tax write off for entertainment that the average fan gets dry-fisted. 

    I’ve been learning a lot about the effects of alcohol on humans at the physiological level, and science is revealing that isn’t good. I’m trying to age gracefully lol.

    I drank some non-alcoholic beers during last night’s football game. Only problem is that they were literally 3x the cost of my usual swill. :lol:

    if someone would come up with an actual decent tasting no booze beer, they'd make a fucking killing. it's all awful. I've tasted as many as I can find. they are all vomit inducing. I'd never have a booze beer again. But I love beer. what logical choice do I have?

    “boozer beer” is all this company makes. this one is good; I’d assume their others are decent, as well.

    Good.  Take out Colorado and Boston on your way there.  

    I think this is hte best chance in years for a Canadian cup.  Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto all have a shot.  Although Toronto has to get more consistent.

    Love it.  That hockey is just amazing.  Having all-stars at full effort, playing for their country, is something to behold.
