Yeah, totally agree with you on the lame Rogers ads with those viewing suggestions.

Those loser twins from the Facebook movie are still multimillionaires, Olympians, and much better looking than we will ever be. So they've got that going for them. Which is nice.

Is rowing even a sport though? I don't know. I guess they're good looking in the my favorite band is nickleback and I shop a lot at American Eagle kind of way, if that's your thing. Maybe it was just a lazy joke on my part, but either way, ESPN is to Yahoo what the KHL is to the NHL.

It may be because the technology needed in a blow up doll that is used to nag men is still too costly to justify the price...

Seriously though...
I'm with you on this Rogers poop, but sadly, I was also on board to never using LOLs, checking Facebook from my phone, hashtagging, or using data on my phone to operate a GPS. This will catch on with a younger generation...

As for watching a game while at the library? You're from Toronto bud, and I'm guessing you never visit a public library, because the Libraries here in London let you watch games, movies, use the internet, etc, on all their computers, and have been like that for years....

Lastly, You've went from crowning Domi the Calder to wanting to trade him in a package for Yakupov? I am seriously starting to wonder about you man. Yak is a 2LW on a poop team at best, and you're willing to trade away future prospects for a borderline nhler?

Yakupov is a winger. You might be thinking of Bogdan Yakimov.

Nope, I meant yakupov, just listed his position wrong. Thanks for pointing that out!

i seriously despise the coyotes. really, it starts with smith.....the smith vs. shaw penalty? behind the net? bogus town u.s.a. .... but, i hope for the competition. I'm glad you have a potential contender on your hands. And you're one of the better writers on this site. keep rooting for your team, and I hope we have an epic playoff encounter. Go Hawks.....

Seriously, I'd love to see hawks v Yotes finished in 7 games this year.

Naturally, hawks win....

I am a huge fan of Domi. He could end up being a great player. But Yakupov is on a different level. Fast, hits everything, huge one timer, no doubt in my mind that he scores 50 goals. Just because he currently literally is a second line LW on a bad team, doesn't mean thats forever. If you watch a few Oilers game you'll love this kid.

If this keeps up, you won't be the only Anti Smith fan around here.

the leafs have a team full of these.

If you think Yak is a borderline NHL player then you must get angry when you look around the league at all the others playing top six minutes.

.Rough night to be a Coyotes fan on Saturday. The Coyotes were brutal and (read in Forrest Gump Voice) that's all I have to say about that.

I've been reading all your blogs in a Forest Gump voice, for weeks now.
It's just the natural filter my brain uses to process most of your thoughts.
Frankly, everyone should try it. JT doesn't seem any smarter when you do it but he does become more loveable.
