Exactly, but in all honesty I thought it would be next year. Not 42 games in.

It's good.

The mentality being instilled that "we can hold on and win this. I will make that happen" rather than "hope we can hold on and win this. Come on Bozak, make that happen" is not an insignificant difference.

The rooks need to know that they are carrying the mail, and not learn any habits from the try-hards that were here for the 18 wheeler, game 7, 2-29 and the tank job

Was listening to Don granato yesterday, Matthews u.s. junior coach, saying that matthews always needs to be challenged, and he thrives on trying to be the best!
- MR.Hunter

So what he's saying is that once Matthews wins the Rocket Richard this year, he will never try to score goals again because it's not even challenging?

Im not judging, and i havent made the best life decisions.. but the decision to never work at a desk is one i dont regret.. i hope you still get out and have lots of adventures

Wow I thought that was a picture of me, taking a dump in Costa Rica! Huh funny. ...but good for you!

- Arctic_AARDVARK

He planted his seeds in any old cougar that would let him.

No breaks? You not working today?
- bryant

Yup, If the market is quiet, I bang around the internet!

Getting paid to talk about the Leafs.

It's good.

I just had to change my mindset and realize that the desk job just subsidizes my hobbies and real interests.

would you not?

But I love what I do, and I'll be retired comfortably by the age of 55.

That's good to hear...hate to see you work all those hours and then need food stamps at 55

Wow I thought that was a picture of me, taking a dump in Costa Rica! Huh funny. ...but good for you!
- MR.Hunter

the hardest but best 2 months of my life...

insanely hard work, it'll test every ounce of will in you..

but the hippy planter chicks make it all worthwhile.. and the travel..

Gaudreau
Schwartz
Burakowski
Landeskog

are guys probably pegged as better LW than JVR.
however, I do agree he's a good (fringe) top10-top15 LW.

Didn't even take into count Parise, Sharp etc. in there.
- MaximusAurelius

The bolded, yes. Add Panarin too.

The rest? Nope. Saad is the nearest comparable, and he has essentially identical career stats to JvR having spent a lot of time surrounded with much better teammates.

You are drunk.

I'm guessing you did some of the hardcore planting. My cousin did planting near Orillia this past summer and said that for every hard worker there were 10 rich douchefaces with dreams of ecological grandeur and becoming David Suzuki or some poop

Probably Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Hip..... id have to think about the 4th..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Nickleback?

*runs*

No I just have some Asian guys drop that off on my doorstep.

Wife received a call from the Canadian National Women's Gymnastic coach last night asking her to Time judge the floor events at Canadian Elite Championships in Halifax this weekend. Very cool, she will be on the floor for the top Men's and Women's events.

This after working out with several Olympic athletes yesterday morning. Including World 5th ranked Elay Black.. Proud HUbby.
