I guess I didnt see that but because I am an old Jerk I felt included in your conversation.

 

I think points have been made so, so better not hijack it.

 

Don't be a jerk or if tempted just think about being the other person and if its something to let go off. If the guy had said "had trouble with the line?" nicely after I would have apologized for being clueless but we could have shared a positive go nucks, even had a drink.

A 1st and a prospect should net a top 4 D or 2nd C. Who do you think is a viable candidate?

Dont touch our prospects. We have all the droids we need.

Appreciate your empathy and wise words. 
 

That’s exactly what I did with the situation,  I explained that people forget that the game is all about fun, even the players are having fun. We were all there for fun. People lose sight of that. Same reason I’m here, fun and sharing experiences.

 

I also explained that we were lucky to be not the sort that would let a small disruption in our sight lines upset us. Going through life like that isn’t healthy. 

 

Good on you for doing that. It's so much better to communicate and create awareness around it rather than let it all fester or spiral into toxicity or negativity. My dad did that with me and I'm so grateful he was so communicative and open.

Check this out… 35 second mark is hilarious! Don’t try this at home kids. 
 

I can’t believe the commercial showed Evil getting absolutely destroyed. You can almost tell someone just off camera through him to the ground as hard as they could.

 

 

I had that toy!

 

Thanks for the memories.

Going to post this here. I really wish guys, especially older guys, would stop being assholes. There's endless examples of it towards women but plenty of times guys are jerks to other guys. Specifically calling out guys over 40 who think they have some right to be a jerk.

 

So i'm in the line for food at the devil's game. I'm tired. I barely sleep before travel anyway and was up by 6am, sorting out my dog and house (my wife has covid so have been taking care of all last week while working at home, have only left my dog one other night since he was sick last year) and had the spent the entire day with my daughter navigating the metro, getting snowed on, working out amtrak and new jersey railways. I had made a lot of reservations at places but it wasn't easy to find where to go. My daughter isn't the best walker but she did it all but was complaining about her feet in the food line so i took her order so she could go sit down.

 

I'm in the line, no idea how it works. It's moving slow. Three younger women in front of me talk to the counter staff and get drinks. There is another counter staff who i go to order from but she walks off. The guy in line next to me then grabs food from a shelf. As i go to get it some guy in the line shouts "you're holding up the line" in a smartass way. I get my food and then order drinks and he's still yammering. I pay, tap thing wasn't working so he's yammering more and so i insert card and get my stuff. Way out he's still yammering and i see him in a canucks jersey. I said something like "take it easy" and went to my seats.

 

Had a great night otherwise but one old jerk who was a canucks fan decided to get his laugh at a younger guy. I'm also short so another reason why he heckled me. Just wish old guys like him had some empathy at times.

 

I did see him in the hotel lobby when i exited the next day. He was clueless as to who i was and while a part of me dreamed of accidentally body-checked him i just let the old jerk go about his morning.

Sounds like nob....

I'm just waiting for Myers to get in a fight and start smacking the other dude with his neck in a glorious battle to the death

Yes. With all the size we have on this team it’s not so detrimental if one of our d decides to tune someone up.

Thanks for the memories.

Me too!!!  Forgot all about that!!!  Do cool... Loved Evel Knievel... Until my older cousin talkes me into jumping him off the top of a 4 story apartment building... Trying to jump it to the apartment next door.  Unfortunately... Turned out very much like his attempt of jumping the Grand Canyon.  Ohhh... The good ol' days!

I specified to a particular group of seniors. Read the entire post. If you can’t relate to the story you don’t get  out much. 
 

Show me where I said young people are all “incredible human beings”.

 

You’re just making up shit up.

 

I guess I need to put more smiley faces at the end of my post to make it clear that I'm joking.

What do you want?

I think we have the whole team we need. Some in Abby still. But everything we need is in this group, I dont want to see the Lotto line rest of season, I mean its entertaining but we will get beat on 2 other lines every game when teams catch on.

Typical older brother or friend…
 

“Yah, do it! It’ll be great”. 
 

2 minutes later the toy is in a thousand pieces.

on the plus side, he's probably living a shitty miserable life if that was the highlight of his evening. He's living his punishment.

Did he come up with the Flying V jersey first or did we?

There is a need for a forward with size and potentially a scoring winger, but at the very least, a forward with size that can play in the top 6 would help to battle strong forechecks.
