  1. So did Pardy actually play forward and Klingberg was a scratch?
  2. TSN heavily reporting Burmi is now available. Also that Buffalo wants Ryan O'reilly. Imagine him and Kane together with Bogo on the back end. That's a good starting point for a rebuild plus a top two draft pick.
  3. Just don't have the horses unless they play a perfect game.
  4. If Florida Georgia Line featuring Nelly Country? A lot of cross over now.
  5. I kind of got used to it over the coarse of time where I didn't need a shot of JD before going on lol But there were other factors as well. I started working a job as a social outreach worker and it made it more difficult to line up times. When CBC would call me it would usually be at 7am to have me on that afternoon at a specific time. And I really couldn't predict where I would be and who i would be with at the time which just made something which was already stressfull for me even more stressfull. I hear ya man. They usually make requests spur of the moment and less than ideal times. I used to give comments to media quite often about issues related to bars (liquor laws, gangs, violence etc) and they'd call me and ask if I could come down to the studio "right now" or "where are you right now, our reporter can meet you", thing like that. You always want to do them but it makes it hard. Also depends who is asking. I did a telephone interview with a print journalist which I called in a favour to get as it was coverage of a friends' new hotel opening and at the end he said interview is over and asked how I was looking forward to having the bar close. I said "well just between you and me it will be nice not to deal with dunk losers all the time". Guess what quote made print? Live and learn.
  6. It's not country tho.. It's like saying fallout boy is rock.. Well, it's not.. It's pop or emo rock.. Country to me is Allan Jackson, Garth Brooks, faith hill, Tim McGraw and Reba McIntyre.. Well I guess you could say she also does country. I guess...I am not a music aficionado so I dont know if she includes more traditional country music on her albums. Either way, I think she's great.
  7. Curtis Glencross also being mentioned. He has a no trade clause that was ONE team (Ducks) but is now, according to tweeps, 5-7 teams. Since he wants out of Calgary that list might grow. 32 years old 6'1", 200lbs From SK Left Wing 24 points in 38 games last season. $2.5 million. UFA this summer.
  8. Also its all about pushing guys down to the 4th line and hopefully making that 4th line better. When the chips are down the Jets are a 2.5 line team. We will need better depth down the stretch and absolutely in the playoffs. Heard someone on 1290 pitching Jagr and I've been tempted for awhile to mention him but it seems so farfetched. But assuming he does not have a No Trade clause (conflicting reports) and assuming the Devils would trade him to wherever they get the best offer rather then letting him choose his destination, would he not be a great fit for the Jets down the stretch and into the playoffs?
  9. I had started to record it and never got around to actually watching it. It looks well produced. Im not sure it would keep my interest but I base that on nothing. Im through all six seasons of SOA and am awaiting the release of season 7 next week and then am looking for a new series. I considered Breaking Bad but I dont know...just doesnt seem all that great. Good thing House of Cards debuts shortly. Maybe Ill give Vikings a try.
  10. Thats a good point about the slurs. But as you said, it was a reflection of the time, unfortunately. The Janet Jackson nipple-gate was idiotic and ludicrous. Dont let the kids see a nipple! God forbid young girls and boys ever see a nipple...wait, they have their own nipples? Oh. Its funny that you can show an entire breast as long as a tiny pastie covers the nipple, but you cant see a nipple. Then again there are lunatics that want breast feeding in public banned.
  11. Certainly with jokes like that Willy must have thick skin. Willy isn't soft, thats for sure.
  12. The good news is the Jets have more points than the pacific division teams fighting for a playoff spot so those teams moving up are switching positions with each other. Minnesota is the Jets' gravest threat.
  13. For us old guys (30's) think back to when you were a young kid and what simply wasnt allowed on TV. I remember being...maybe 12/13 and we had "Superchannel" and it was mind blowing...lol I dunno, I think there was more stuff allowed on TV when I was a kid than there is now. Sure maybe the language has pushed the boundaries a little but everything else seems like TV has gotten more tame than it used to be with the exception of places like HBO who just keep on keeping on. Way more sex and violence and language on regular TV now. Sure, cable is one thing, like AMC and FX but even network television. What was that cop show where they kept showing the cast members' bare asses? Remember all the controversy? Now you could get away with that. Plus, A$$hole is allowed now...there's another word I kept hearing on Y&R a couple years ago that I was surprised was now allowed but I cant remember what it was...**** maybe? **** is allowed now too. Although people our age will remember Degrassi always pushing the envelope with a naked Joey and then the movie where they dropped the F bomb twice in prime time.
  14. Yeah...but the bigger picture speaks the other direction. Hutch is a rookie, lets not forget.
  15. if the Jets werent a Playoff team, I would agree and stand pat. But it is so important for the team to make the playoffs. There are reasons like playoff experience and making the community feel good and the indirect financial spinoff from playoff games. But its also important from a revenue perspective as that playoff money of almost all profit to the team owner. And it surely couldnt hurt in recruiting.

  17. She's beautiful. I wont knock a girl for being thin. She looks healthy. There hasnt been any speculation about her being "unhealthy" thin. She looks good.
  18. I was hoping they'd go back to Hutch. He might have let in four goals against Edmonton but I thought he played okay and was incredible in the shoot out. It was a tough game for a goalie with very little action for long stretches and then when there was action, the Oilers have some mighty fine players. I hope Klingberg gets a chance for whatever it will be on the 4th line. I had always hoped he'd be more than he's been.
  19. I liked Mean. It was "poppy" but with some country elements. Her live performance of it at whatever awards show was tremendous. It was her first major performance after the Kanye fiasco and she got a huge standing ovation. I really like her.
  20. if his stats are not great, then this is the perfect time to extend him. Should he light it up in 2015, the extension gets a lot more expensive.
  21. I've done a lot of radio and a few TV interviews as well as newspaper articles several times. It can definitely be awkward if you're not used to it. When I was doing commentary for DVDs and hosting events it was easier to do interviews because I was "on" more often. I was a huge introvert when I was younger. In my mind I have to be "performing" to appear in front of a live audience or do interviews. And that makes it fun. But I certainly understand the awkwardness for sure.
  22. Well I guess it depends on definition of county. She's "new" country, the crossover pop hybrid. And she is tremendous. Very deserving of all her accolades.
