I remember my dad springing for Mcdonalds section tickets $5 a ticket. I definitely couldn't see past the blue line of the far end. We had to watch the Tv's in the rafters.

It was a smelly old barn way past its best before date. Can't blame people for not wanting to buy tickets for up in the rafters when you can only see half the ice...

extended version of today in the House.... I like the comment at 3:57 - "you need new lines". Ha!

Justin's first day in QP after India (yesterday was budget day so didn't count). After watching Trudeau just babble nonsense in response, I don't know why they bother with Question Period. It will never be called "Answer Period", that's for sure.

Goalies are just bigger and better these days too. And D-men are better. Game is a lot faster now too. How many of these goals would Selanne score in today's NHL?

Imagine how many points Teemu would have gotten with no red line? I am talking 1993 Teemu here. I honestly don't know how teams would have been able to defend against him. They would have had to have one defenseman sitting on his own blue line all game.

That's what I was trying to say - it was not uncommon to have many players that were well over 100 pts in scoring in a season. Now you barely get more than one a year. Quite a different situation.

a record I doubt I will see broken in my lifetime, with the way the NHL game is played now.

the guy was living with mayor Goldie Wilson?

That's one thing I wouldn't fault the Liberals for doing if they did, upping the GST back to 7%. That would add $14 billion to federal coffers and go a long way to offsetting this reckless drunken sailor spending.

Good thing that Just in came home. One more week of his shenanigans and we'd be at war with India.

that was one of our first tests of what playoff hockey is going to be like, and it didn't go well. They need to tighten up considerably if we're going to make any noise in the playoffs, otherwise it's another first round exit.

or Eric O'Dell.

Whenever I hear that name I will always think of this goal:

because Gord Kluzak was from there? When I was 18 I was thinking of trying out for the Calgary Dinos hockey team, and I went in to see their coach about it. He told me that their roster was full, and that maybe I should just focus on my studies and give intramural hockey a try. He was really good and classy about it, because he knew he was basically telling a young kid his hockey dream was over. That man was Willie Desjardins.

I'd like to see Willie Desjardins given another shot in the NHL. He got screwed in Vancouver. Punch Imlach couldn't have done anything with that dumpster fire.

Cal is my avatar and my favorite Bomber coach/GM of all time. It wasn't a knock on him. That was kind of my point though. Even Cal, as great as he was, reached a point where it was time to leave. Look at Wally. You don't think it is time for him to leave BC?

they are already circling the drain.

How did I know that my comment would cause this kind of **** reply. Even Cal Murphy had a best before date. It's not about Hartman, it's more about missing the playoffs. Coaches are hired to be fired. I was just floating the possibility that maybe it's time for a change of scenery, ala Babcock, for Coach Q.

might be time for a coaching change in Chicago.

not surprised that he didn't show up at QP today...
