  2. 2 or 3 24's a week! You are doing the right thing Bob. Best of luck and get into the gym' date=' take up karate/judo or start running. It'll help you in so many ways. BTW, beer is a major carcinogen that leads to colorectal cancer. [/quote'] Well Mellie would help a wee bit sometimes there Dave come on now... Thats beside the point... Like i said, day four and im still alive!! Now to begin the next chapter of our lives... we appreciate the encouragement...
  3. Thanks Dave... for the longest time ive always "said" im going to cut down or just not buy that case but somehow im still going though 2 to 3 cases a week... too much is enough!
  4. Well the time has come to truly call it quits... while I tried once before Ive finally come to realize, with the help of my beautiful wife, that I have an addiction... and one that isnt helping my life in any way... So this is day four of sobriety... can't say i wont smoke a bowl or two here or there but i have had my last beer... Mellie and I are doing this together which will only help with support ofr both of us... so wish us well... this will indeed be a long journey...
  5. Sent to Leaf fans on their list today... Dear Bob, Tuesday we made a difficult decision for our hockey club. We announced that John Ferguson's contract as vice president and general manager, which expires June 30, will not be renewed and as a result he has been relived of his duties effective immediately. These decisions are always difficult from both a professional and personal standpoint. John is as fine a man as you will meet. He's a man of the highest integrity, who withstood often unfair public criticism with dignity and class. He represented our organization and our community in a first class manner. We will always be grateful to John for his passion, dedication and commitment to putting a winning team on the ice. We wish him well in what we expect will be a long and productive hockey career. But after thorough consideration of the Leafs situation, it became clear that change and a new direction is needed. Regrettably, we didn't win enough games and reach our goal of winning the Stanley Cup. Our record, and our opportunity to be a playoff team and compete for the Stanley Cup, has fallen short of what is expected. The process highly-regarded by Leafs fans and by hockey people around the world. We have reached out to Cliff and his 50-plus years of hockey management experience to serve as interim general manager of the Leafs. Cliff will have the autonomy and responsibility for all hockey matters with a focus on establishing a foundation from which the next general manager can build. He is the ideal person to lead this transition. Cliff will join prominent sports attorney Gord Kirke and me on the search team that will recommend to our board of directors the best person to serve as the next general manager of the Leafs. We believe that being general manager of the Toronto Maple Leafs is the top job in hockey. The person who fills this job will be both a long-term builder and a short-term fixer who has an established track record of success on the ice. Along with the foundation of knowledge in the areas of drafting and identifying talent in the professional, amateur and international ranks, he will work effectively with the media and be comfortable within the intense scrutiny that characterizes the Toronto hockey market. To those of you new to Leafs Nation, Cliff served the Leafs as team president, chief operating officer and general manager between 1991 and 1997, guiding the team to the conference finals on two occasions. There's no better man in hockey to lead us successfully through the upcoming trade deadline and toward the draft and free agent signing period. His expertise affords us the opportunity to conduct our search without the constraints of time deadlines in order to bring the best general manager to Toronto. This has been a difficult season for all of us - fans, players, coaches, and staff. While the title on my business card reads president and chief executive officer, I'm also a fan. I share the frustrations we all have felt that come with falling short of our expectations. I believe every member of our organization, myself included, can look inside themselves to find things they might have done differently to alleviate the situation we find ourselves in. I am fully confident that we will achieve both the short-term and long-term success we all desire. And I believe the results of our efforts will bring the Stanley Cup home to Toronto where it belongs. That is the number one priority of every member of the Leafs organization. On behalf of our entire organization, I thank you for being a valued member of our team. Sincerely, Richard Peddie President and Chief Executive Officer Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club

  10. Go big or go home eh Mike... I like your picks except the Blackhawks at Red Rocks... tough one there...
  11. Well Jaimoe you wait and your wish is my command... and the answer is... Friday... could be the only encore i walked out of on purpose.... not a big fan of the SweptAway>Steep combo... good 5 minutes for a washroom break... and luckily i never did get a Jennifer dances...
  12. I was at that Buckeye show in 91 as well... worst story ever for me... friend who drove myself Cowboy and another friend had to be back to get his dad to work at 9 am the next day instructed us that we were leaving at setbreak...

  16. OK I'll give you that my friend...my apologies... can't speak for Low Roller though... JFJ will at least be a shake up... everything now is just a distraction.
  17. This is all freaking embarrassing... especially with all these habs fans in here sqwuaking off... Get rid of JFJ already, move on from all the disrupting bullshit that takes away from the players focusing on hockey and play. Gawd I hope this shit is done by Saturday when i finally get to go and see a game... at least its against Buffalo... a team that hasnt been on too much of a role lately either.
  18. Happy Birthday Dave... sorry we wont be joinging you next week... cheers to ya!
