There's about an 8-year catalog of Paul Marner stories, all of which (anecdotally) tell the tale of him using his son's talents to inflate his own ego. He has a certain reputation in rinks in the Toronto area.

And then there's an animated .gif of his mother dancing at a Leafs game, and you are calling her white trash.

Am I missing something here, Max?

Do you know a damn thing about her other than the one animated .gif?

Stories = people's opinions.
Like people calling marner a greedy bastard based on opinions by journalists.
I think i can have an opinion on bonnie marner based on the non-verbal communication by other mothers during that trip and my general impression of her.

Ya, always going to be hard to compare. So many great breweries out there. I did a stint in Oregon last summer ...OMG - gotta be the brewpub capital of the universe. Every small town had two or three breweries. We drove the coast and every little poop hole fishing town had a brewery (or two) and the beer was always great.

My access to Evil Twin in Toronto has been pretty good. They're on tap at a few spots and they colab with my local favourites so I'm biased.

Blood Brothers in Toronto - another indisputable elite, IMHO.

Evil Twin.... Blood Brothers....

I feel like there's a theme here.

Oh there are so many and really it's all about your taste, which is subjective. I wasn't saying you were wrong at all, so I hope you didn't take it that way. I haven't been to Oregon, but I've heard great things about their beer scene. Did you get to try any Great Notion out there?

And I wish I knew about Blood Brothers when I was there last. I'll check it out next time.

It's too bad I'm never in the states but it's bound to happen at some point.

I do have that friend who does trips to Vermont to pick up beers over there from time to time.... I should join him...... My love for beer demands it.....

My girlfriend and my kids obviously disagree but WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT LOVE?

So she's white trash, based upon the fact that she did the floss?

I'd love to hear all about how you know what the other mothers thought about her, "based upon non-verbal communication by other mothers during that trip and your general impression of her."

You've seen her once - dancing at a Leafs game. That's the only time you have ever seen her.

Ever.

Prove me wrong.

??? Didnt see you stand up to defend Marner's dad when people call him crazy / a-hole / d-bag..??

Stories, while biased, are a recounting of occurrences... which is different from having an opinion.

Seen her a few times but yes - basing my opinion on a few "first impressions".
Not believing in that?

Didn't the Leafs trade for the corpse of David Clarkson specifically to sign Marner? I thought that was the whole point of the trade.

What if Marner says: " 8x10.25 - but with he Captaincy" ?

I too love knowing the whole story by looking at the cover.
