  1. They didn't bring much of anything to that game last night. Done. Let the young guys get some ice time for the rest of the season ... and/or give McCabe, Kubina, Tucker ALL the ice time and wear 'em into the ground.
  2. Yeah, i was surprised when I read last week that there was going to be a CGI Star Wars movie coming out this summer. This could be really cool and I'm excited for it. I have never seen the Clone Wars miniseries yet. Thanks for the tip. My son and I will enjoy watching once they've finished downloading http://www.youtorrent.com/tag/?q=clone+wars
  3. 68 years young and jamming out better than most cats a third of his age. Go Phil Go! I'm listening to the Langeradoo set this aft in yer honour ... it's smokin'!!!
  4. No kidding. Gotta hate whiners like that who only want money spent on things that THEY approve. You wouldn't want the city to spend money on safety for a celebration that unites fellow citizens and neighboutrs .. ooh nooooo! Typical for somebody who writes to the Sun. If I ever want to be reminded about how idiotic some people are I just read the letters to the editor of The Sun (and then read the one sentence replies from the ed).

  8. What??? You order Centre Ice to get all the NHL games and they blackout local PPV events? That's bullshit. I have no idea if other teams do this, but what a load. They charge more for HD PPV too??? How much shit do they have in there to dish out? Like others have mentioned here, if I was forced to PAY to see a game on TV it had better be damn perfect in terms of broadcast quality. Whether or not you want to hear the commentary if it goes out during a game I would be demanding my money back. WTF is this game blacked out HERE on Sportsnet??? Damn, I remember when blackouts were solely used for the purpose of selling remaining tickets to an event (used to happen with football a lot). If it sold out, the blackout was lifted. The blackout would only be withing a certain radius of the event as to not penalize those who are obviously a little too far to get to the game easily. I curse PPV hockey games ... damn them all >
  9. This thread is great! Back and forth like a tennis match infused with some serious comedy and revisionist history.
  10. If he had his way, he'd go to work looking like this:
  11. Quoted for truth, in case you missed it.
  12. It'd be like picking a parent to go with in a divorce! So, when did it become a rule that you can't root for more than one team? Fuck, the Sens were trying to brainwash the entire nation last year that they were "Canada's Team" and that it was unpatriotic to cheer for the Canadian-stacked Ducks! Don't bother me none, I'll continue to support the Habs.
  13. That's enough to make me drop out. Dang' date=' didn't know you guys give up so easily! You obviously don't realize that I grew up a Habs fan in Toronto and went to more games at the old Forum than games at MLG. You won't catch me slaggin' the Habs ... My childhood hockey hero ... numero dix ...
  14. [color:purple] Come on ... what's there not to like about the club and the dude who is leading it??? He likes to wear dead animal legs around his neck and is a real cowboy too! I heard he's gonna be there for the first clubbing of a seal pup at this year's slaughter too.

  15. That's a funny show. I watched it for the first time last night. The host was in Sweden checking out a copper mine adn refinery (I operated a RAMMER HAMMER dude!) and one of the biggest paper mills. Tons of classic comical moments throughout. I'm setting the PVR to grab this show.
  16. LOL ... I'll be rooting for the Habs in the playoffs and it doesn't bother me one little bit Just can't figure out who to go with in the West. I'm really liking Calgary and San Jose ...
  17. Another win ... they ain't making the playoffs (or getting Stamkos) but they sure are providing for some entertaining games down the stretch I can't believe I'm saying this, but Kubina has been really good the last 2 games!
  18. LOL ... sweet. Ollie, good for noticing the details. Whenever I think of Obama now I'll want to roll another "A New Hope"??? Is George Lucas behind this one?
  19. Here's a review from the NYT: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/10/arts/music/10helm.html?ref=arts The Night They Drove Old Man Trouble Down By JON PARELES Published: March 10, 2008 Routes from the Appalachians, the bayou, Texas, Chicago, Memphis, New York and New Orleans converge at a geographically unlikely but historically proven nexus: Woodstock, N.Y., where Levon Helm has a home studio in a barn. Mr. Helm, 67, played drums and sang in the Band, which recorded “The Basement Tapes†with Bob Dylan and made its indelible debut album in neighboring West Saugerties, N.Y. He has been putting on monthly concerts in Woodstock called Midnight Rambles since 2005. At those shows, Mr. Helm leads a core band while friends drop in, and lately he has taken the idea on the road. On Friday night, starting a two-night stand at the Beacon Theater, the Levon Helm Band’s show was a romping rock-R&B-country-blues revue. It had guitarists (Larry Campbell and Jimmy Vivino) who dispensed ragtime, blues-rock and more; a five-man horn section that played soul riffs and raucous traditional jazz; female singers representing country, soul and rock; and a repertory spanning a good stretch of the 20th century. In a way, Mr. Helm was unraveling the strands of American music that he and the Band had entwined. Nearly all the songs were old, from the Band and from the Americana archives. And many were forlorn, whether they were honky-tonk weepers or jovial shuffles. They were bound by Mr. Helm’s stalwart yet flexible drumming and, often, his backwoods yowl of a voice, fully recovered from throat cancer. After more than two hours onstage — drumming, singing, playing mandolin — a grinning Mr. Helm stood up and did jumping jacks. Mr. Helm’s drum kit was placed sideways on the band’s right flank, making all the subtlety of his playing visible. He had the bedrock timing and well-chosen patterns of a great roadhouse drummer, but was never mechanical. He chose whether each cymbal tap would ring or hiss, and he kicked verses toward choruses with a different syncopated flourish every time around. He didn’t sing the whole set. Other band members took turns and so did guests including Phoebe Snow, belting high notes to please the crowd; she sang Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic,†a song he recorded in Woodstock. Little Sammy Davis, in a derby hat, sang the blues and played harmonicas he pulled from pockets of his tuxedo. Teresa Williams brought a true country twang to songs like “Long Black Veil,†and Catherine Russell strutted through a song Marcia Ball has recorded, “Soulful Dress.†One Midnight Ramble regular was missing: Mr. Helm’s daughter, Amy Helm. She’s a member of the opening band, Ollabelle, but she just gave birth to his grandson, named Levon. (Her husband, Jay Collins, played saxophone in the horn section.) Mr. Helm performed only a few songs from “Dirt Farmer†(Dirt Farmer Music/Vanguard), the Grammy-winning acoustic album he released last year. One was “Anna Lee,†a stark waltz about a mother’s death, accompanied only by Mr. Campbell’s fiddle and mountain-harmony vocals from Ms. Williams and Ms. Russell. But most of the set was upbeat, with the horns pumping up the party spirit. For the Levon Helm Band, the way to face trouble is with a clear gaze, a steady backbeat and an ornery voice
  20. Ok, so I'm in, once the format is figured out. Shit, ya go away for a couple of days and a bench-clearing-brawl starts in here Drop the puck.
  21. Great fuckin' game to watch last night ... especially that third period! Wow! I thought it was a great move pulling the goalie in a tie game where the extra point really meant something. Good on ya Maurice Biron kept them in the game that's for sure. Glad the game tonight isn't on LeafsTV
