Rekker Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) 3 minutes ago, tas said: so? how does being closer to a vacation spot benefit a hockey player during the hockey season? chicago has better food, entertainment, nightlife, culture, etc. Fine, if your an indoors person. SanFran has all that as well. Beautiful spot. Edited June 27 by Rekker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago is far more a world class city than SJ or Vancouver. The city has a very decorated history and is the midwestern hub in the US. Huge and sprawling with a great cultural history, especially regarding electric blues and bebop. No doubt. They corner the market on deep dish pizza too. That being said, people I know who live there say that the social decay evident in the city makes all the great things about it harder to enjoy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And much more of Vancouver has fallen into social decay in the last 30 years. For sure. Not saying Vancouver is better at all. It definitely is not.

Rocket-68 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) IF you understand that there are things in this thread worth considering then you understand everything and you understand nothing, but between the extremes there are many things out there to be understood, which knowledge can be obtained in a series of holy readings and singings and sermons in the valley of the shadow of death; and, having read this thread, are you feeling the enlightenment which you should be feeling, for if you are not feeling it, then there must be something wrong, and it has nothing to do with the moon being in the seventh house or Sagittarius firing arrows at Uranus, no, it can all be found in the phone book! I dare you to find anything meaningful in that. I dare you. Ya, I got nothing better to do right now than drink a few pints and read this forum. Well I do actually but I told my boss to go fuck himself and went down to the local establishment for a pint or two. Did I mention I am self employed? No one better forward this to my wife ...

As for which guys they will get, will wait and see. This management has been fun for fans from day 1. Major surgery successful last summer and now they are building a cup contender. No more boring Canucks. How is dumping going today?????? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
