You said it Dave (Skylark)!

or even better, host it in smaller communities like Winnipeg, Brandon, Kamloops, Kelowna, Red Deer, Lethbridge and Saskatoon, where you know it will be a huge sell-out.

Anyone else notice this? I noticed a lot of empty seats at the Canada-Czech game yesterday in Montreal. What the hell is up with that? Can you imagine a Team Canada WJC playoff game in Winnipeg not being sold out? Ridiculous. You expect empty seats when this tournament is being played in Europe as you know the people there are homers who won't come out to watch Canada but come on Montreal, that was embarrassing. http://www.torontosun.com/2017/01/02/canada-vs-sweden-semifinal-promises-to-be-must-see-hockey

Actually, I like David Booth's wife way more than I like him!

I see him on a line with Nail Yakupov and David Booth with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv next year.

Any hope the Freep hires Penton and sends Wiecek off to cover men's lawn bowling?

Also wanted to add, that I think once again Star Wars has broken new ground with their effects. They have basically solved the problem a lot of sequels have with actors dying. Did the actor die? Who cares! We can just CGI them! The only issue they need to solve is the voice, which should be fixable, using old voice recordings to create new voice dialogue.

I was entertained, though found it a bit confusing. Also not a fan of the repetitive Force mantra the one guy kept saying over and over again. I was impressed with the CGI on the old guy (and I knew it was CGI not because of spoilers but because I know Peter Cushing died over 30 years ago) though I wasn't impressed with how they didn't get his voice right. I also wasn't impressed with Darth Vader's voice, in that James Earl Jones sounded a lot older (I get it, he's older) and his baritone voice wasn't as strong. Just my impression. Otherwise, it was pretty entertaining and was a good story. Saw it once, but I doubt I'll see it again. Watching Star Wars tonight to see the continuity. And yeah, I realize it's supposed to be called "A New Hope" or "Episode 4" but to me it will always be "Star Wars".

Just saw Rogue One and finally came to read this thread to get some background. Now I have a headache.

I'm curious as to who he could have appointed that wouldn't have resulted in the criticism that he hasn't drained the swamp. Who would have fit the bill?

were you at the game? Just asking to see if your streak was broken...

I have yet to find any confirmation on the story about the $160 million for the Big Brother program. Is this a real thing or was it fake news? Can anyone find independent confirmation?

I also blame the Simpsons for our current drought, which started as a TV show in 1989-90. Granted, we won our last Cup only one year in to the TV show starting, but I still blame them! On another note, I just realized that this will be my 7,000th post on MBB, which made me realize....

I blame Milli Vanilli!

Now just hire this guy: and the ****-show will be complete...

Foley looking good today against the Commies Ruskies. Got an assist on the GWG and decked a guy Buff-style.

http://www.castanet.net/news/Canada/184618/Who-we-lost-in-2016 Canada took it on the chin pretty hard in 2016 as well. I got to meet Elsie Wayne 16 years ago on a visit to Parliament in Ottawa. Really amazing lady. Quite a fighter.

I tried to post a "Big Brother is watching You" poster in the above post and it didn't work. Not sure why not. Anyway, this is very Orwellian, to have the government telling people what they can and can't believe in their media.

Just have to play rock-em sock-em Jets hockey. Put Thorbs out there to go pound someone in the head. Hit them all over the ice. I remember last season Jim Hughson described the Jets as "bullies" while doing some cry-fest to defend why the Leafs were sucking so hard against the Jets. Yeah, I want to be known as bullies. Let's bully it up out there and really give em what for. Ok, done with my Don Cherry-esque rant...

Too bad he didn't turn out to be an asset like Radulov, who can actually score.

Chevy on the phone to Washington's GM Brian MacLellan: Hey there, have I got a deal for you! Mac: Oh no, is this about that Russian guy again? Chevy: Ah...well I...ah... Mac: Look bub, no one wants him, at any price. Why you guys brought him back from the KHL is a mystery, but it's your mystery to solve, not ours! Chevy: Well you know, you've got that Madison Bowey guy in the minors... Mac: Yeah, and?? Chevy: He'd sure look good playing with Morrissey again like he did in Kelowna...and on the gold-medal world junior team... Mac: Yeah, and?? Chevy: So I was thinking, Burmi, Stafford, and a third rounder for him? Mac: Stafford and a third rounder. Keep Burmi. Chevy: No deal! Mac: I am hanging up now. CLICK!

This team really missed Armia...
