  1. No love for Bullwinkles aka the oak? It was safari or rum jungle when I was young. Buffalo Bills was where it was at. Buffalo Bills had a much less stabby vibe to it than The Oak. I never felt very safe in there. Buffalo Bills & Silverados were our bars of choice in our early 20s...once I was too old for Pembina Hwy.
  2. Go a little deeper into T'cona to find the real gems. The Central, The Spike, still around too. It's like going into a time machine. The Spike is a beauty, love it there. Spent a fair amount of time at the Villa in North Kildonan in my university days too. The Spike is the bar that time forgot.
  3. The big appeal of Pembina bars was how cheap they were. I was always there for $.25 draft nights. It was perfect for university students. Fixed prices put an end to that.
  4. I think Veltung would be more valuable to us than Littlejohn.
  5. Was that Billy Crystal? There were about six actual plays in that video. The rest was replays.
  6. Trump vs. Sanders
  7. What is Strawberry's? I didn't think Scandals was a dive, at least not compared to Monty's & the Paladium (Getlaidium). I watched the bouncers at Scandals nearly beat a guy to death once. This guy bottled my buddy, who was dating a bouncer's sister. They dragged him out the side door and beat him unconscious. It was brutal...
  8. Easy for you to say but how do you justify that when you are the Blackhawks and this controversy is still raging while you happily line him up on your first line on opening day? There's going to be a lot of pissed off people if they do that. It is easy for me to say that. I can justify it b/c the police don't have sufficient evidence yet. Once they have it and they've charged him he can sit. At that point there's actually something tangible to show that he may have done something wrong.
  9. I wouldn't suspend him until he's charged.
  10. Who's been praying for him to fail?
  11. Life would be much easier if all decisions could be made with hindsight.
  12. We have Waggoner to show for it.
  13. You've done about 30 mock lineups. One of them is bound to be right.
  14. Nice pick 6 by that plug Marve.
  15. Paint ball is unquestionably why we lost this game. gbill nails it again!
  16. ...that's why a part of me wants them to win the week before....just to get it outta the way... That's exactly what I want. I don't want us to be their first win.
  17. Exactly. It's a myth that there are all these woman scheming to blackmail athletes with false accusations. It's ignorant at best to label her a "puck bunny" or "trashy" without having a clue who she is or what the story is.
  18. I was very surprised at how well May did at the debate. I thought she was very articulate and had her facts down pretty tight. Trudeau also did better than I expected. He was a little too argumentative with Harper, but otherwise I thought he did well. His closing remarks were a little much, but certainly not as bad as TUP tries to make it sound. Mulcair had the best line of the debate with his shot at Harper about having to ask "which one?" when talking about recessions under his watch. Getting Harper to admit he basically tells Conservative senators what to do was also a point in his favour. His fake smile for most of the debate was pretty weird though. He also sounded a little too rehearsed at times. Trudeau got him pretty good regarding his pandering to separatists. Harper got smacked around a little at times, but certainly nothing that could be considered election changing. I thought he looked a little more animated than he has in previous elections. He engaged with the other leaders more, rather than like last time where he never took his eyes of the camera.
  19. If charged, this will be a test of the NHL... do they immediately suspend him? Do the Blackhawks? Should they? What happened to innocent until proven guilty. NHL would have too. They suspended Voynov before he was convicted of anything. Kane would still get paid though.
  20. I guess you don't want to vote for anyone then.Those are dumbass commercials. And only dumbasses believe them. They make me want to vote for Trudeau just out of spite. Only dumbasses believe Justin isn't ready to be PM? Lol. I'd say you've got that backwards but I'm not here to insult people. You're insulting our intelligence by defending that ad. Only "dumbasses" believe his main priority is legalizing pot, or that his only thought on foreign policy is sending winter jackets to Syria.
  21. Bite your tongue. Though that would guarantee another four years of a press that rolls over and lets the president stroke their belly rather than ask any hard questions or do anything to embarrass the leader. It's been 8 years now of just softball questions for the current president and its time that the press in the US got some balls again. What questions do you want asked?
  22. Once somebody has asked their question or made their comment they should be cut off. IMO Knuckles take too long to cut some callers off.
  23. Supporting casts also played a major role. In 88-89 Lemieux put up 199 points and his linemates were Rob Brown & Bob Errey. With Lemieux Brown was a 40 goal scorer; without him he was an AHLer. By the time Lemieux had a decent supporting cast he couldn't stay healthy. Put a healthy Lemieux on those 80s Oilers teams and he'd hold all of the season scoring records. I think winning the Art Ross after missing 1/4 of a season with cancer is one of the most impressive feats in hockey history. IMO, Lemieux was the most talented player ever, but Gretzky gets the title of greatest ever due to his records and influence on the game. Like having Semenko as his linemate? Come on now let's not blow things out of proportion here. Gretzky was so far ahead of his Oiler team mates in scoring it's laughable to even think about it. He was clearly the best player on that team, I'd never argue that. Nobody can reasonably argue Gretzky didn't have much better players around him than Lemieux when they were both in their primes though. Check out this lineup from his 199 point season and tell me it's comparable to any of those Oiler teams. He led his team in scoring by 84 points.
