GCJenks Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 This year is off to a brisk start. Any guesses on the over/under? I think if this pace keeps it’s somewhere in the 200 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noeller Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Knowing what we know now about Bobby Hull's off-ice life..... it's tough to say a lot of good things about the man. Having said that, if not for Bobby Hull coming to town, there may not be hockey in YWG today, so everyone should be thankful for that. An absolute legend on the ice.

Given what we know about him, this is probably the most positive sentiment one could muster. It’s tough, we all grew up hearing about him being THE guy. A person who at one point was the epitome of Winnipeg sports, who my Dad and uncles idolized turning out that way sucked. Closest comparable figure to me is Adrian Peterson.

Tracker Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 On 2023-01-12 at 7:44 PM, iHeart said: She was at the Golden Globes two days ago Lisa Marie Presley Was Taking Opioids, Weight Loss Drugs Before Death: TMZ Lisa Marie Presley was undergoing an extreme weight loss regimen before her death because she wanted to look good while attending award ceremonies for Elvis, according to TMZ. Citing family sources, the outlet reports that Presley had plastic surgery and was taking weight loss drugs, shedding between 40 and 50 pounds in the six weeks before the Golden Globes on Jan. 10. Presley, who died two days later at the age of 54, was also taking opioids, relapsing into an addiction she’d battled for years, the sources tell TMZ. While her cause of death may not be revealed for months while toxicology results are still pending, Presley reportedly complained of abdominal pain on the morning of her death.

IC Khari Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 One of the all time great players no doubt, and was certainly one of the people who contributed to pro hockey (NHL now) here in Winnipeg. That's where we should leave it. Wideleft, kelownabomberfan and Piggy 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty Liver Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Electrifying player and a great ambassador for the game, growing up I was a die hard Canadiens fan until Hull showed up in Wpg. and formed the "Hot Line" with Hedberg and Nilsson in the WHA. Hands down the most exciting hockey I've ever witnessed to this day, also got Bobby's autograph at least 10 times, he was amazingly accommodating with fans. kelownabomberfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the watcher Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 (edited) I was a huge Hull and Blackhawks fan as a kid. I was thrilled to death when he came to Winnipeg. He changed hockey by empowering the players. He made the NHL a possibility in Winnipeg. The Hotline changed hockey when it became the basis of the Oiler championship years.His shot has yet to be equaled in my opinion. There are tons of stories about his willingness to sign autographs. Holding up team buses too so.A friend told me of being a kid and standing in a crowded group to get an autograph.Just as he approached an adult kind of shoved him to the side and stuck his paper infront of Bobby. Hull just reached over the guy ,took my friends paper , signed it and moved on without signing the adults paper.

the watcher Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 My tablet went frigging nuts lol. I actually wanted to say that doesn't excuse what he did in his non hockey life. It should be a reminder that our childhood heros are not what we imagined at the time. Tracker and Noeller 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
