I would not have discussed a specific model. I think they are all very similar. I have had good luck with Matricom, but have also had good luck with the cheapest one I could find on Amazon last November.

Look for 2G Ram over 1G. That is important. Everything else doesn't matter really.

It takes a lot of luck along the way. The stars have to align, so to speak.

So far... the stars are aligning like a mofo for Ottawa.

Yes, they could win the cup.

Can I just run it off my tablet?

I downloaded Kodi the other day - just haven't had time to screw around with it yet.

I get the feeling that Nashville will go through Ottawa like a hot knife through butter.

But in the meantime, Ottawa fans should enjoy the ride.

And yeah, this Ottawa team has a certain somethin' somethin'.

Pretty sure you can. The version you have from google play likely isn't loaded with the goodies that people use it most often for, so it might take some work to get all the good stuff loaded in there.

Bautista Showboating down 4 runs.....

Love the Jays, But seriously cant stand that fukkin guy.

I dont blame every other fan base for hating him. I can barely stand cheering for him myself.

- vancity787


I have hated him for years, ever since the whining about balls and strikes. Not because he is wrong. He is absolutely right. The Jays are (frank)ed over constantly by the umpiring for obvious reasons. It is the fact that the whining is so (frank)ing stupid and counter-productive.

Because Ottawa is a tiny town, with no real industries to it.

It has a little bit of high-tech.

Other than that, it's a government town - meaning they don't have a lot of corporate money to spend on tickets.

And Harper gutted the civil service - there's simply less people with good jobs.

And to top it all off, the arena is 700 km out of town, and you have to take a goat path to get there, and more importantly, that same goat path to get back home after the game.

Hell, I'm surprised Ottawa can sell 10,000 tickets for a weekday game in February.

- Atomic Wedgie


and the Redblacks. Never forget the Redblacks Wedgie.

Ottawa is a city of champions, and a total Redblack town.

Android yes. I can run it on my phone.

Apple, I don't think so. There may be some tech geek way, but it would almost certainly be jailbreaking your device. I wouldn't bother.

They are playing a stifling defensive system and everyone is buying in. They also have a lot of confidence. More than anything though, really bad injuries to Boston and Pittsburgh and an incredible run of luck (and lundqvist poopting the bed) have got them this far.

They would be the underdog against Anaheim or Nashville, but at this point, I wouldn't bet against them.

Just head over to Kodi Reddit to get the insight on the best/latest addons. I think Exodus still works well. Lately just using the CBC digital antenna for hockey at night.

I am sure he knows some media guys, and maybe a trainer or two.

The thing is, the whole concept of "insiders" is completely absurd.

There are not people out there who are privy to phone conversations between GM's or sitting in on personnel planning meetings ... and then sharing that info.

If anything significant gets leaked, it would be pretty easy to figure out who leaked it and that person would not be a source any more.

I am sure there are opinions. I am sure that there are situations that everyone can see that lead to the likelihood of a trade (e.g. JVR for an Anaheim Dman). That trade may never happen, but sometimes stuff does make sense.

Bobby Mac is acknowledged as probably the most connected insider in the game and he actually reports very little. In fact, he speculates infrequently, and really only breaks anything very shortly before it is common knowledge.

The character of "Eklund" as a person with inside information into the dealings between teams is a complete fabrication.

- Aetherial

So your saying that guy from the Sabres thread (89)is not the one an all Insider?

Do not wish anything good for a team owned by the bloodsucker owner. Made his fortune in Canada and weasels out of paying taxes - pays no taxes here because he is a permanent resident of Barbados but remains a Canadian citizen. He did qualify for transplant surgery in Canada - even though he pays zero taxes here.
