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.

Saw a comparison of Karlsson/Burns/Vlasic to the Ducks D when they had Pronger/Neidermeyer/Beauchemin. Decent side-by-sides. Ducks won the Cup with that tandem.

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.

A couple new ones. First a maritime/family tattoo on my left forearm. My mother grew up in Dartmouth NS and moved to Ontario when she was 12. My parents and my brothers have all relocated back there. Originally done in April. Finally got some much needed touch ups done today on the high sky and the ropes. And...the first two lines of a poem called "If" by Rudyard Kipling on my right forearm. As a person who has always had a temper and tried very hard to not blow up the way I used to when I was younger, this is a good reminder about temper and temperment. Fresh out of the chair today.

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.

Sir Roger Moore (James Bond in the 70's & 80's). He was 89.

Reports say it could be a suicide, but also point to a possible case of autoerotic asphyxiation. Athletes, actors, musicians. Anyone who performs or competes at a high level and seeks that rush of the stage/field is other ways, how many times has that been their downfall??

We had a guy in our league who wears 7...I mean he wears 7 ALL THE TIME...every year. Fine, guys have favorite numbers. I like 11. This guys connection to 7 is a little beyond 'like'. Midway through the season, they will make trades if one team is running away with it, to keep it competitive. So, #7 gets traded to a team who already had a 7. He offered money to the guy to change numbers. Other #7 was a first year guy and was comfortable, wanted to keep his number 7...so he said no. Obsessed #7 QUIT THE LEAGUE, rather than play without his beloved #7. His original team had little #7 patches sewn onto the shoulder of their jerseys. haha.

So, a buddy sends me a msg today "Wanna go to the game?" I reply "Bulldogs?" He says yes. I go to the rink I play at, because I know they sell discount tickets. Turns out...they aren't tickets but vouchers that can be redeemed for tickets. Not a worry, they never sell out so there will be lots of great seats left. Text my buddy that I have the "tix" he asks 7 or 7:30 start. I look at their website...they play at 7:00 ON THE ROAD! I just assumed he already knew they were at home, so I never bothered to double check. Only 2 home games left this season and I know I can't go tomorrow. I've offered them up on facebook for $20 to try to recoup some of my stupidity. I may end up going alone Sunday just to salvage some of my ticket buying dignity. haha

For just being "dumb" comedy, the timing and delivery is fantastic! The blooper reel is probably hilarious.

It's Jared Keeso's show. He created it. The 2 hockey guys were in the Gordie Howe move. Dylan Playfair (Reilly) is Larry's kid. Looking forward to the St. Patrick's day special. I haven't had a chance to watch the "Ferda" addition (as in 'ferda fans'). There is additional commentary and stuff. Should be entertaining.

I was shocked that he was only 79. I figured he was in his late 60's in the early 80s!

Mike Ilitch. Detroit Red Wings/Tigers Owner. He was 87. http://www.freep.com/story/money/business/columnists/2017/02/10/ilitch-detroit-pizza-red-wings-tigers-hockey-forbes/91475642/
