Roy Garber from A&E's Shipping Wars died after a massive heart attack http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/roy-garber-dies-heart-attack-shipping-wars-star-dead-49-2014191

The tonneau cover on my truck is frozen SOLID! I'm supposed to play hockey tomorrow...looks like the gear is riding up front with me!

I don't recall in my (almost) 38 years it being cold like this in Southern Ontario! Actual temperature of -19 (celsius) with a wind chill expected to hit -38 overnight.

I've been trying to find a good for JR. But, many are facing the wrong way....or are obstructed by other players.

Had a tooth pulled today....http://www.modsquadhockey.com/forums/index.php/topic/46958-the-sweet-spot/?p=987575

...Advil is kicking in!

Touche! I'll see what i can find

We need an updated picture of David for the top bar!

Are the Easton's Brown and Orange...? Or is that just an illusion of the picture?

Did you check out the PDF ?? http://realsports.ca/uploadedFiles/MLSE/Content/Apparel/SQ14-038%20Game%20Worn%20Gear%20Guide_Oct%202013.pdf

Yup. Sept 11, 2003. the day before Johnny Cash.

Here's how you know you found a good woman: I made plans a couple weeks ago to go to the Habs/Sabres game tonight, which happens to be my second anniversary with my GF. Not only is not in the least bit upset...she said if she found out that I had skipped the game for our Anniversary, she would have been even more pissed off with me. We went out for dinner Saturday to celebrate.

Oh, I've got stuff to play....I've got Smashmouth's version of "Why Can't We Be Friends". My buddy suggested "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" from Lion King. Bad Boys is good too... I know the schools are hoping for no fights.

It's a pretty regular occurence in the AHL. Our (Hamilton Bulldogs) School Day game is tomorrow at 10am. I think we have a agme in Syracuse later this year that is a mid week/non holiday 11am start. Crowd should be in excess of 10k. They (the school boards) cut my playlist considerably from last year. No rock. They still want pop music that kids like...but they've requested that nothing that references drinking or partying and no sexual references at all, even the veiled ones. They were upset that I played a clip of "Whistle" by Flo-Rida last year. One school even turned down the invite this year. Now, I'm sure teenagers might get it, but you'd have to tell a 10 year old what that song is really about. So, it will be lots of Taylor Swift, Bieber, Selena Gomez...and organ music with clap beats to get the crowd going. btw...Ylvis "The Fox" is on the MUST PLAY list! Not sure what will happen if there is a fight.

Not a National broadcaster, so he is likely not known to many of you, but he worked in Niagara Radio (St. Catharines) for more almost 20 years, and was in Buffalo before that. "Iron" Mike Bensson passed away this morning after battling cancer. He was one of the reasons I was first interested in pursuing radio. A great broadcaster, and an even better guy. Glad I got to meet him and work with him, even if it was only briefly.

Haha...not so many celebs in recent memory. Meet n' Greets are getting harder and harder to come by. But, I did go a little more than a decade without paying for Concert tickets or AHL Games.

Oil change, rear brakes, new battery, Fluid flush....$1200. AND, I still need 2 tires before the snow flies!

The only bonus I've ever got in radio was when the Company was sold a few years back. Basically it worked out to $200 for every year of service...I got $800...but it was taxed (heavily) I think I came away with just over $450.

I'm not familiar with this thing you speak of! A "bonus" it is called???

That's part of it...I realize. Add it to the reasons not to go. Hell, even our play by play guy walked around the press box during intermission going "no one tell me the score" b/c he was recording his beloved Dolphins against NE. AHL Attendance yesterday (all games were 3-5p starts EST) Hershey - 10,125 Rockford - 6,353 Providence - 5,015 Iowa - 3,825 Hamilton - 3,248 Chicago - 2,932 (Wow...that's low with the Bears on a bye)

Oh...of course that's what they say. So sick of hearing all the excuses NOT to come to games. 1. weather is too bad to go outside to get to a hockey game 2. weather is too good to be inside at a hockey game 3. team is struggling 4. too expensive 5. parking downtown sucks and it's expensive. 6. nowhere to go eat before/after the game Well... 1&2. Weather in Southern Ontario won't change because it's an NHL team 3. If it's an expansion team, we'll be bad for a while...if it's Florida moving here...we'll be bad for a while 4. Tickets are between $24-37.50. You won't be getting into an NHL game that cheap. There are TONS of ways to get cheaper tickets. There is a grocery chain in town that sells half price tickets for Sunday games...which are usually 3p starts. 5. Parking is usually between $5-10 on Game Day...when big concerts or events come to town..it instantly jumps to $20-30 (or more). When they used to play NHL Preseason games at Copps...parking was stupid...and if 5,000 (which is a great crowd for us) clogs downtown...you want to try 17,000+ 41 times a year??? 6. There are now 3 restaurants with 2-5 minute walk to the arena...not to mention another 4-6 in Hess Village (maybe 10 minutes).

Less than 3,500 on a Sunday afternoon for Bulldogs/Marlies!!! C'mon...And people say Hamilton deserves NHL Hockey!?!?!?!

We get the same thing here. Kids come in on tours from local Media/Radio programs and all they talk about is..."can I come work here", "who do I send my resume/demo to"....but when it comes to hiring, they all either have other jobs they can't get way from...or weekends are a problem. Most of our part time work IS evenings and weekends...and I TOLD you that when you first said you were first interested. We hired 5 new Ops (studio producers) and within 6 months, 4 of them flaked out on us. Kids don't want to work for it...or put in any time. They want a $35,000 production job handed to them. News flash...you have to start PT and IF you are lucky enough to get to FT...it's not gonna be that high!!!

I think he finished out the year Murray was replaced with Black skates...then the first full year under Hitch switched back to White.
