Booche

Hahaha, wow. That should have included a NSFL warning.

Yes, once.

Good ole Skillsy noting the differences playing in a Leafs jersey vs a Hab one. Stubbs: A lot is made of the media around the Canadiens, turning over every rock for the scoop. You’ve played in Toronto and Boston, Original Six hockey cities and hot hockey markets. Any way to compare? Hal Gill: There’s so much media in Montreal that you kind of forget about it. Toronto was crazy but in Montreal, there’s a feeling of celebrity more than just hockey. Carey Price is a celebrity. If Brad Pitt and Carey Price are standing there, I think people are going to Carey. Toronto is similar in some ways, but there’s a lot more going on (in sports). Here, there’s a lot of “what are players doing off the ice?†I’m not pretty to watch, I get that. I understand when fans want to see someone make a saucer pass or score a goal. But I was really impressed in Montreal the way people said about me, “No, that’s not what he does. Watch, he’ll make a pokecheck.†In Toronto, I had the best year of my career, a bunch of points, but I was doing everything they really didn’t care for. I’d do a full two minutes on the PK, doing everything, and they were just like, “He’s not good.†I come to Montreal and I’m like, “I hope they don’t boo me out of here, as they can.†It was kinda nice that they got on my good side and saw what I could do well.

That was fucking awesome.

Wow. That might be my favorite Velvetlog yet and that's saying something.

‘This might have been my last hockey game,’ Sens captain laments following Sweden’s ouster at worlds.

When he was unemployed and the Sens were looking for a coach I was praying they would hire him. Living in the same city as the one Torts is coaching in? Wow. Just add Bryz and blammo, time for a newspaper subscription.

Barney and Antoine Bart are awesome together.

Now THAT's a white out!

JesusfuckingChrist on a popsicle stick. When did the name Matt become the same as the name Mark? Nice reading comprehension skills you got there. Too much Diablo on your mind? Maybe you should email Velvet to find out if his first name is Tony.

Considering you are talking about a Mars Hotel band in the 90's and we all lived in Kingston back then, I am quite confident that's who you are thinking of. Matt Whatever His Last Name was a fucking total gunslinger. They helped shape my opinion of how fun the Dead's music was. They disbanded in the middle 90s (?) and Matt then joined with Sam to form Hurricane Bob, another great Kingston cover band who did some lesser known Dead chestnuts as well as all kinds of awesome tunes from other awesome bands. They were actually one of my favorite cover bands because of the rarities they would throw out. Give me money for kinda remembering all of that.

Not the Toucan band you two are thinking of.

2* lol @ "mighty" I get jokes!

Ditto that, loving the work you are putting in.

Hahaha, are you questioning their decisions even though they won??? Hindsight'd?

"We had a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline." God bless.

Oh.My.God.

That is awesome NW. Bravo Coldplay. Fucking bravo to you. Spoiler Edit to add: Let me clear my throat......I hadnt seen that Chappelle Show video either. Haha. Great stuff. It will always stay fresh.

I dont like beer as much this morning as I did last night. Maybe if I had one.........

FACK! I wish the Jays had a minor league team here already but I do hope to see him with the big boys because I'm debating a run to TO this summer to see a 3 game home stand. It would be my first time at the Skydome since I saw Fred McGriff hit one off the restaurant in dead center, which was HUGE at the time. We bought tickets from scalpers, 11 rows back from home plate and I think we paid only 4 bucks extra or something stupid. But I digress. Bring it Vlad. Bring it. I like beer.

That pic of Chara and Patch might be misleading. I would rather see a video of the entire handshake to see if Patch made eye contact with him.
