Just saw the video on Sportsnet of David with the Cup back home. Looks like he had a ball hockey game/tourney in his hometown and all his buddies were drinking beer from the Cup. Saw his brother Pascal in the video as well.

Harry Howell. Hamilton born, NHL/WHA defenseman. Won the Norris in '66-67 and commented something to the effect of: "I'm glad I won this now, that kid in Boston is going to be pretty good". Bobby Orr won the next 8 http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=2382 An absolute gentleman and great ambassador for the game.

Beautiful jersey. Should have gone with green helmets though.

Anyone else watch the Valentimes special? Would have been fun to be in the writers room for some of those exchanges during the speed dating scenes.

I just saw a highlight pack and the numbers on those TB jerseys are way darker grey than they appear in that pic. Has to be awful for the broadcast guys up high. I remember when the Milwaukee Admirals (AHL) had great letters on baby blue jerseys...or other way around, I can't remember. A bunch of the Leagues play by play guys complained and I'm pretty sure the league made them stop wearing them.

Not anything exotic or overly fancy, but decided my Escape was bigger than I needed, so I traded it in a couple weeks ago for a Focus. Has the winter package. Heated seats, steering wheel and mirrors, with remote start. All features I've never had in a vehicle before, so I'm enjoying it. Also enjoying filling up for less than $40 and having that last over a week.

The only good thing about that is the gloves.

ok, thanks. btw...I'm about 15lbs heavier! haha

What size did you go with? Ordering clothes online always worries me because things vary style to style. I have 2 large golf shirts from different companies. One fits like a medium, the other XL. So frustrating.

Everything looks fantastic. And the prices are great. I am definitely in for a couple things.

Not even sure it's for a few nights. I think I read it's for a one off "Whalers Night" in Dec. Still a nice jersey though.

Two words: Heat Rash!

The Queen of Soul dies on the 41st anniversary of the death of the King of Rock n' Roll. Also Babe Ruth died on Aug 16/48. That's a pretty iconic death day.

Just got a text from a buddy of mine. He is in Vegas for business this week. Just bought a single for tomorrow on StubHub. Yeah, I'm a little jealous!!!

Do Americans (without a direct Canadian connection) even "get" it?

I object!!! haha

The GM of USA Hockey passed away. 53 years old. http://www.espn.com/olympics/story/_/id/22169105/usa-hockey-general-manager-jim-johannson-dies-age-53

She had such a unique voice. I didn't know she maintained a cottage residence in Peterborough, Ontario. Her ex-husband was Canadian. RIP.

Waiting to hear that Marilyn Manson is going to take his remains/ashes and turn it into the ink for his next albums liner notes.

Country singer Troy Gentry (of Montgomery Gentry fame) and Country legend Don Williams both passed away Friday. Gentry was 50. He died in helicopter crash. Williams was 78.

This video was taken in my defensive end, hence...I will likely not be seen doing anything other than line changes! haha

It also helped TB with their protection list. Drouin had to be protected, but Segachev does not.

The picks only come into play if Sergachev plays 40 games in TB. I like getting Drouin. Lots of skill. Easily capable of 50+ points. Losing Sergachev could end up hurting and if Beaulieu is indeed on the way out of town as well, that leaves them very thin for young D men. I suspect this means time is running our for Galchenyuk. Reports are he is being shopped for a defenseman.

It was great when we started there. They used to let us park underground and come through the security entrance. But one other group got rowdy or something, and suddenly no one was allowed to park there anymore. Parking was free Sunday nights at the lot across the street, so it was okay. Our ice time was 7:30-8:30 (I think)...but there was never anyone on before us....so, if we got there early and dressed, we'd be on the ice shortly after 7...get all warmed up and get a full hour in. Then when the management group changed from the local company to the US company, they instituted their half hour rule. They even wouldn't let us into the room until 7:00, so our extra ice time went away. Paying almost $400/hour wasn't worth it once all the perks went away.

Is that FirstOntario Centre (Copps?). Used to have a regular Sunday night pickup there. We moved it a couple years back when they raised prices.
