My Pops went to school with him and a few other guys. Somewhere in the Agincourt area I think? It might be a created memory but I think he told me his nickname was "The Fluffer" ...sorry, no reference point for that one.

Palmy grew up just south of Agincourt. Basically around Broadlands Park, if you want to google map it.

Did your dad go to Victoria Park High School?

certainly they do have world class goaltending. they also play very good team defence. they're crap offensively though. just absolute crap.

Nope. I traded to make a Facebook page called 'your mom' so I could go around liking stuff and it would show up as 'your mom liked this'

Do you remember when your Rogers email account ended with @home.com instead of @rogers.com?

So I created an email account "I am drinking alone."

So it was [email][email protected][/email]

It was fabulous - until those bastards cancelled "@home.com"

I'm a terrible historian so I'll have to ask him. I know once I was born his parents had a house on Wishingwell Drive but I don't think that was his home during high school.

So we give up the most fkn shots in the NHL's history last season, and the answer is to sign an abundance of forwards. But roll with the same defence essentially.
- TonkaPhaneuf

You consider switching up 33% (2/6) or 43% (3/7 assuming Granberg in, Franson out) essentially the same defense? Better defensive system - starting with the coaches and forwards - already is an improvement...some people are just hard to please I guess.

He said "elite # 1's". Personally, I think Bergeron may be the most underrated player in the game and I'd call him a top 10 centre in the game. He's so good at both ends and sacrifices points to play/win with Julien.

All that said - Bozak isn't close to Bergeron.

- The Law

Here's the thing about "true #1 C's" ... There is really on like 6 in the entire NHL, and a softer list might get up to 10 TOPS.

Bergeron is in the top 10 I think...

I'm a little more liberal - I suppose it's semantics - but the top 30 centres have to be #1's. The truly elite #1's ...yah, you're bang on that there's only a handful or two.

Everybody's cleared out of Scarb's long ago. Haven't heard from my Pops but (stretching my memory) I think he lived off of VicPark/Pharmacy and Lawrence area during school.

Up in Agincourt I did get to meet Brad Park a few times ...his family lived on Wishingwell drive.
