Unfortunately,I have close experience with someone who had a gambling addiction. It ended with his suicide. He left behind a 10 year old son, and 8 year old daughter.

when i was a young child i used to go to country music concerts lol.. one was John Micheal Montgomery and Sawyer Brown at Copps Coliseum

But first real concert was OLP and I Mother Earth in Sudbury

Neil in the 90's would be unreal.. I saw him in about 2008ish in Ottawa.

Being from N.Ontario, and a swimmer of pristine untouched lakes and rivers, i know how lucky we are to be Canadian.

That lake appears to be a reservoir, floating garbage collects at the dam. At least it seems fairly easy to clean up.

Fantasy hockey draft....

You pick #14, who do you take?

Mikko Rantanen

Or

Mitch Marner


And go.....
- .HOHO.

Tough one. You can't go wrong with either one. I take Rantanen. That line of Landeskog-MacKinnon-Rantanen is so dominant.

Was into horseracing a few years and won 10s of thousands $ many times. Never anything big, and I'm sure I lost 100k+ in those 3-4 years. Of those guys I played together with, 1 of them won big and at least 3 lost everything - job, house and marriage. Extremely fun AND dangerous.

Those are the guys who will always tell you how much money they won but will never tell you how much money they lost. It's sad.

Apparently every player in the NHL looks like Arnold Schwarzenegger right now.

Still can't believe how nimble a skater that guy was at 270lbs. Ridiculous.

Are the other players totally focused on the new season like Matthews?

Do they have a guy like Thornton in the room, who they can learn from? I mean, just watching how he operates in the dressing room, you can't help but be inspired.

Do they all play for the best hockey organization? One that they know has their back?

Do they all have complete confidence in their goalie? I mean, Andsie gives us a chance to win every night.

Do they have more confidence in the team this year? Like what moves the GM did in the offseason, making them a better overall team? I mean, the depth we have in incredible.

Are all the other guys looking forward to getting going this season? Like they feel they have something to prove after last year's disappointment?

Wait, all the other players are saying this?

Damn.

Evander Kane is broke eh? Shocked.

I took Rantanen... and got Landeskog with my 3rd round pick.

Question of the day: why the frank do I have 4,000 coffee mugs?

I use four.

Yes, one is a Leafs one.

And why is my wife buying ones the size of buckets? You can't drink coffee out of them, and they clutter up the cabinet.
