What they didn't show was him getting in a cab instead of the team bus and asking the cabbie how much to drop him in Tampere...

The Garbage Man gets another one.

Jets can't lose on Ukrainian Christmas. It's an actual law I believe.

Yes. That would be my preference.

If Lemieux, Roslo, Armia and Myers are all playing with the big club next year we can say that trade was a major builder of this team's future. Hope we can get something for Stafford.

What am I missing. Who is that?

How is Lemieux doing this year?

I really was impressed with Roslovic and Foley's play. Foley looks to be a diamond in the rough. Roslovic has some nice hands. I can see him making the jump next year to the NHL.

If you believe the movies and theories, Sinatra was the one who introduced the Mob to the Kennedys. The mayor of Chicago helped JFK get elected by stuffing ballot boxes in Illinois.

sure, water...urine...whatever....

FYP

I thought that I heard that the WJC only make money when they are held in Canada. Though they probably did pretty well in North Dakota a few years ago. As long as they are held in places close to the Canadian border if in the US then that should still guarantee decent crowds - for example next year's in Buffalo should do well with all of the Canadians coming in and buying tickets.

You said it Dave (Skylark)!

or even better, host it in smaller communities like Winnipeg, Brandon, Kamloops, Kelowna, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Saskatoon, where you know it will be a huge sell-out.

Anyone else notice this? I noticed a lot of empty seats at the Canada-Czech game yesterday in Montreal. What the hell is up with that? Can you imagine a Team Canada WJC playoff game in Winnipeg not being sold out? Ridiculous. You expect empty seats when this tournament is being played in Europe as you know the people there are homers who won't come out to watch Canada but come on Montreal, that was embarrassing. http://www.torontosun.com/2017/01/02/canada-vs-sweden-semifinal-promises-to-be-must-see-hockey

Actually, I like David Booth's wife way more than I like him!

I see him on a line with Nail Yakupov and David Booth with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv next year.

Any hope the Freep hires Penton and sends Wiecek off to cover men's lawn bowling?

Also wanted to add, that I think once again Star Wars has broken new ground with their effects. They have basically solved the problem a lot of sequels have with actors dying. Did the actor die? Who cares! We can just CGI them! The only issue they need to solve is the voice, which should be fixable, using old voice recordings to create new voice dialogue.

I was entertained, though found it a bit confusing. Also not a fan of the repetitive Force mantra the one guy kept saying over and over again. I was impressed with the CGI on the old guy (and I knew it was CGI not because of spoilers but because I know Peter Cushing died over 30 years ago) though I wasn't impressed with how they didn't get his voice right. I also wasn't impressed with Darth Vader's voice, in that James Earl Jones sounded a lot older (I get it, he's older) and his baritone voice wasn't as strong. Just my impression. Otherwise, it was pretty entertaining and was a good story. Saw it once, but I doubt I'll see it again. Watching Star Wars tonight to see the continuity. And yeah, I realize it's supposed to be called "A New Hope" or "Episode 4" but to me it will always be "Star Wars".

Just saw Rogue One and finally came to read this thread to get some background. Now I have a headache.
