JT 85.7% in the dot. He's so good.

Great stuff, the boys look good! Gotta keep it up in the third.

Brock's on fire! Good for him!

JT with 2 points. He's so good.

OH YEAH BABY!! TAKE THE LEAD...MILLER TO BOES!

I hope he shows up McDavid.

What a blast!!

Dammit! Noooo.

Woo Marie. Our good luck charm.

5-3 Canucks Miller

Forgot to do this....got so excited about an invite to the game my mind exploded. Aw well, point(s) dropped. Tomorrow's game isn't up yet so I'm going 5-3 Canucks. Miller.

No one generally has a schedule like ours. Believe me, I've examined and compared them.

That's your take. I don't completely agree.

Love you, Alf...don't ever change.

It's not for everyone. The thing with music is...it's very much a matter of personal taste. My son hates ACDC.I don't like The Clash. It's very personalized. Thing is, what Nirvana music are you speaking of because it varies a great deal. Sure....Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, etc. And "poor" is defined how? Maybe tone, pitch, quality of sound but....emotion factors in and that's something I appreciate. Kurt didn't care at all about perfection or acceptance and that was evident in some of his lyrics. He hated fame and so his music was more a look into his soul than "work" for analyzing. That appeals to me. Same thing goes for Mark Lanegan, Courtney Love, Jason Molina, Marilyn Manson (hate the weirdo but love his music). Music's very much about connection and you won't connect to everything. But I appreciate you weighing in because it's a good discussion to have. Nirvana directly links me to my daughter...her favourite band when she was a teenager. Or, some of my favourites:

You too, my friend.

Thomas also got away with a lot of sh. He was whacking, hacking and slashing our guys if they got near the crease. There was a double standard for sure. We had more pp's but timing also matters. It was a gong show and the guys wilted....but Boston's antics weren't always addressed as they should have been. And Rome getting his suspension really set a tone. I mean, the way they ignored Raymond's broken back was a bit ridiculous in comparison.

When we lose and offer "reasons" (like scheduling, injury, horrible officiating), we're told "good teams find a way to win". When we "find a way to win" we're not a good team according to those same people. Then they give reasons because [insert here...."the other team just played and is tired", "they have injured players", etc.] Funny how double standards work.

I'm a bit of a y'all'er at times. It's the redneck coming out in me. Yeeha.

We're talking about Tocchet though...keep it to him as the other stuff means nothing in relation to his success or failure. I can't even understand the rest of this red herring.

Dimly drowning their sorrows of a win that deepens their desire to be right rather than dabble in delight like the rest of us.

Well we had a hand in that. At least with the Oilers. So it's easy to state things after the fact when you have a sample size and things don't unfold as MOST expected them to.

Are you kidding? Many analysts projected the Oilers and the Leafs to be SC contenders. https://www.nhl.com/news/stanley-cup-predictions-for-2023-24-nhl-season
