Counterpoint: Vancouver, Montreal.

The only thing more beautiful than his face is his on-ice play.

The year was 2000, and I was a not-particularly-graceful defenceman for the Nepean Minor Hockey Association’s Peewee “C” Southbank Dodge Vipers. I had lead the league in penalty minutes (by my count), including being suspended for a game for elbowing a dude on my own team in the head for being a shitheel, but had yet…

Whoa whoa whoa, buddy... I, uhh, think you misconstrued the sentiment of my comment. I don’t think *any* amount of drugs obtained via illegal search and seizure ought to justify any kind of behaviour against anybody. Just commenting that a) all the good molly is gone now, b) I doubt the cops actually returned him his…

That’s... a not insignificant amount of MDMA. I guess I know where all good molly went now (i.e., “Banks County Police evidence department”).

Buddy, as a Sens fan, I am so in the tank for this possibility I’m seriously thinking of buying a Subban jersey.

After Dallas, Tampa, Raleigh and freakin ANAHEIM, I’m very much over my concerns of southern markets winning the cup. It happens. Would much prefer Nashville to a bunch of shitheels like the Kings or Hawks again.

Ha! That was my exact impression of Nashville when I visited earlier this year. It felt like a northeastern or west coast city that got lost in the south (once I got outside Broadway etc). Didn’t get a chance to see the Preds, but even then (late December) there was plenty of Preds flags and the like being flown…

wait, haven’t you never been to new orleans? your answer is correct, but of all the food-centric, drunk assholes in america, how have you never been to new orleans?

Uhh... who’s been calling it Kanata Wall? I’ve watched about 99% of Sens games over the past two decades (poor me) and that shit is called The System.

I... I would love to speak to your cousin someday.

At the very least, “[example of someone doing something very fast and haphazardly] like a coked-up greyhound” is now a viable part of my lexicon.

Re: gritty countries, I’ve never been to the Philippines, but based on every single thing I’ve heard about surviving in Manila, that place takes the top spot. Plus, they send all their woman to Canada to work as nannies for pennies and remittances are something like the country’s largest source of GDP. Throw in some…

It’s the Raptors’ way!

This is why I only watch PBS’ suite of high-profile sports programming.

Not answered in the post: how much of the Bears’ decision to go after Trubisky is due to him having an incredibly Bears-friendly last name?

Yeah, there were essentially two in back-to-back games against the Red Wings in the last few games of the season (that he shouldn’t have been playing on because of leg injuries but whatever he’s a goddamned king). With Karlsson, it’s never *just* luck.

After a similar (but not nearly as bad) experience to our Poop History-Maker after a trip to Italy a few years back, I’ve now made it an essential part of any gastronomically oriented trip (read: all trips) to buy a big ass bag of spinach or kale or other good roughage and leave it in the fridge of my accommodations.

It takes a life-alteringly great thing to happen to make anyone in the Sens’ organization hug Eugene Melnyk.
