I've always assumed GARTH was a family member or college buddy of Ek's. It's the only explanation.

I'm pretty sure it's because Garth gets the most hits out of any blogger on the site

I was really hoping that people would have common sense in the fact that OBVIOUSLY there are very FEW jobs in life that you actually do need an education for, like a doctor. Regardless its VERY FEW jobs that you can actually benefit from school. I guess I should not expect common sense for some people.. It is 2016 after all, where sensitivity and irrational thinking is a big part of life. Sigh.

Why do you care if people get an education? Who hurt you?

I was never formally Edumacationalized but I'm definitely one of the smartest Leafs fans here. I have one of the best rumour prediction success rates around. Ask anyone. A lot of people are saying when Ek retires that I should take over.

Wait did you base your education argument on Leafs fans on hockeybuzz? Damn.

When I interview I look for traits that indicate that someone can work intelligently but a post secondary education is always a +1 in my book.

Yea, but you have to admit... If I knew you well, family friend, relative, close friends son/daughter... That interview process is meaningless.

In my position that would qualify as a conflict of interest and I would be recused from the hiring process.

I'd be allowed to pass on a CV and that's about it.

Agreed, but you probably arent looking for a hard worker, just if you know them, right?

That Marner video was pretty awesome Mike!

He was better than me at scoring goals when he was 10 years old.

Same here, but let's face it, they'd need a god damn good excuse to pick someone I told them was great because of a 1-2 hour meeting.

Just got word it would be Nylander for Hamilton straight, sort of like the Hall for Larsson deal. (I work at a major sporting broadcaster)... Still just a rumour but that is what its looking like. Not likely to get done this week either, as they play each other tmrw night.
- Burkefection


i hope not.

the jvr/carrick deal actually sounds less worse to me this morning than last night, especially after seeing this nylander scenario.

I actually never went to post secondary school, that is a scam and a waste of your parents hard earned money, anyone who thinks they need an education after high school is just a sheep to the already brainwashed world.. Listen kiddo, its not about what you know in life. Its who you know, and how well you know them. That is probably the best piece of advice I can give anyone. I am a pretty successful (not famous or rich by any means) individual to have no had any post secondary education. All based on who I knew, not what I knew. Anyone can learn on the spot, anyone. So next time you try to propose some bogus like nylander gardiner for tkachuk Hamilton blah blah blah... Please think about it, and understand how idiotic it actually sounds.

Anyways kid,

Eat your breakfast and head to school... Don't be late
