Good info there... Thank you.

I'm not big on projectors and I can't do one in my basement space because of my football helmet display. I build all of my helmets and make them for customers as a side hobby. The wall is 27 feet long and 10 feet high and makes my 55" on there look like a microwave.

Geez, you've got the perfect room for a projector. Just get one of the screens that retracts automatically.

They can't change the jerseys until next year (3 year rule)

This will be the 3rd year with the Adidas jerseys

My understanding is they will wear their 50th anniversary jerseys at home very often like a 50/50 split between them and the traditional home jerseys.

Also they"leaked" part of their 50th anniversary jersey...it was blue at least the part they leaked.

So who knows if the rumors of the white jersey with white pants is true

I have an adjacent room that was a kid's play room but they've grown out of it so it largely goes unused. I might actually make a tiered theatre room in there so I want to save a projector purchase for that space. I just want this room to have a bigger TV for casual watching.

The amount of chubs grown over my wall is flattering... even to the likes of Jenna Jameson. Thank you good sir.

This makes zero (frank)ing sense.

Montreal now has to build a stadium that will be used for half of a baseball season?

Good luck getting players to sign with your team too.

No one is going to want to live in Tampa for 1/2 the season and Montreal the other 1/2.

In that case you might want to get a decent tv and maybe focus on the sound. So many people ruin their experience by getting crappy soundbars instead of real home theater setup.

I think a nice 65" curved tv like this Samsung would fit nicely in your spot.

I don't get the whole curved TV thing... I was just reading a thing online that said that it really hasn't been proven to actually improve anything lol. I've even read it distorts straight lines when watching sports where things like goal lines and base lines are important to the viewers

I get the reason for it being that they want more money from attendance because TB is the worst in all of baseball I do believe.... but imagine if they play the 1st half in TB and already basically eliminated from the playoffs by all-star break... who's gonna see that in Montreal.

Or if they are doing really well and leave Florida for Canada. A lot of pissed off fans in Florida. And have they even considered playoff complications?

Just a little info on the Subban front, if we trade for him and take on all the contact, Botterill also wants Eeli Tolvanen to be included. Don't shoot the messenger.
