I usually avoid my hangovers with an eye-opener, but i have to work in the morning, so no eye-opener for me.
Been years since i had a vodka soda.

Thank you Carol.

Hard to get excited about the Gretzky 30 year old trade or what jersey we hate less but I do appreciate the effort to keep things fresh.

I do have Dylan Cozens as my early hopeful. I don't want Benning going overboard on the smurfs

Actually contrary to the popular thought process Gretzky actually wanted out of EDM. His wife could not stand it there and wanted to be back in California for her 'acting career'. That trade never happens unless Wayne wants/approves it. Funny how many say 'if Wayne can be traded anyone can' lol. It's no co-incidence that it was LA where his wife wanted to be. Food for thought anyway in the dog days of summer here.

38c here in Red Deer today.

I prefer the skate and Teal
- VANTEL

I think the Canucks have the best colour scheme in the league, just need a new crest, the skate doesn't work with green and blue.

I’ll be honest with you here, you don’t know poop from a hole in the ground. Have you been to Russia, do you know how hard the people there have to work to get where they are? It isn’t about being Russian, or Canadian or Swedish, it’s about the individuals. There are way more Canadian kids involved in every level of youth and up hockey, and only the very best of them get a sniff of professional hockey, and then only the best of the best have careers in the NHL. For every Horvat there are 100 Shinkaruks. It has nothing to do with birth certificates.

You proved my point but I’ll adjust my opinion to entitled prima donnas. They are an embarassment to the average hard working Russian citizen excluding the corrupt. In my current field of work Russians are the most hard working individuals i know of & some ppl envy that to the point of absurdity. Though i have not been to Russia i’ve dealt with Russian mill owners. In the field of marketing lumber they are well known to be unreliable on delivery & service. Basically customers shy away once word of where lumber is supplied from is disclosed. There lies the difference between the well off & the average Russian.

Thats the poop. Any poop you can add?

Listened to a couple songs, Become the Storm is pretty decent

I like hard rock but I tend to lean more towards the punk stuff than the metal most of the time. Maybe just because I'm young and Rise Against and Green Day were my heroes when I was younger

- NorthNuck

That whole new Dee Snider album is killer IMO. Very fresh sound with a little of Testament/Maiden in there.

I haven't paid much attention to punk for the past 10-15 years as much of it has become processed and sounds the same. But there is some good stuff out there. I'm with you though as we always gravitate to the things we worshipped when we were all younger. Having said that I haven't paid much attention to Green Day for awhile now but I do have the whole Rise Against CD collection here...but really old punk is the way to go bro...

Ramones baby!!

Not sure on that I think the flying skate could work with current colours...just need to be a bit creative.

I am sure those rumors are half baked . We heard them back then and Gretz denied any truth to them but we still called her the Hockey Yoko Ono. I don't believe she ever landed a big acting job again

But according to the National Enquirer Mrs Pronger had clandestine meetings with Janet seeking asylum to Cali.

Pretty sure Wayne had a more successful acting career than she did and Wayne only made a guest appearance on a soap opera. Lol

Of course Gretz denied it...what's he gonna say. The rumours are solid as we had an in... But it is what it is. Don't matter that she couldn't act...she wasn't staying in -40c in EDM lol.

Need Nighthawk to configure a roster of a Gretzky traded to Vancouver Arthur G said they wanted 5 firsts and 15 mil , and Linden wasnt part of the package. Apparently the sticking point was Gretz wanted part ownership and Walter in management . Griffiths said NHL wouldnt OK part ownership, although i doubt AG had 15 mil to spend anyhow.

It shouldn't be either/or when it comes to analytics and watching the player. One helps provide context for the other.

Unless you're fully invested in oldmanalytics. 😉
