Worst storm in decades supposedly, but I'm still hopeful that we will get out late tomorrow. The forecast seems to support that notion as possible. *Fingers crossed*

Don't they get over 200" per year under normal circumstances?

FAA says 8, My company says 12. I save most of my drinking for off days...cheaper that way anyways. Hotel bars are a ripoff.

Stadiums too...phuck outta here with them prices.

I dunno, they get a lot. Lake effect almost every day at some point. Today was brutal though, can't see the buildings across the street.

Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can help me out.
I am doing a working holiday in Canada from mid next month until mid August (maybe shorter or longer), we will be going to Calgary, does anyone know the best way to get a house to rent and/or work in that area? We were thinking Banff but it seems everyone and their dog go their for working holidays so any where around Calgary would be fine, that way I could catch a Hawks game if they play there during that time

Hotels are almost worse though because they hide it more. You buy a brew at a stadium and the sweaty dude with the shoulder sling has a hat or a big button that says "Beer $9.00". At hotels, if you don't ask, you never know what you're paying till you get the check and find out that the Beefeater and Tonic that you just ad 3 of were $11.00 a pop.

The Man.

Old man Jagr moves into a tie for 7th in all time points with 1723 after a first period assist. 1-0 Devils first intermission.

Snooze fest game though.

Exactly...not to mention the $6 bag of 'tater chips that equated to a handful of crumbs. The outright robbery that goes on at hotels for sure...is CRIMINAL....4 REAL.

One of the advantages of getting older. Never drink at a game anymore.

Never one of my favorites, except for Clift.

And Superman, of course.

I've wised up a lot last few years and saved a lot of money. There's a lot to be said for 'fiscal responsibility' at sports/entertainment venues.

Dinner at Vernon Park Tap is a nice pre-game ritual.

I cant begin to even think of all the plays, home runs, goals etc Ive missed in my lifetime because I was standing in line at a urinal..due to beverage consumption..
