JoeSchmoe

Got my first glimpse through a brief break in the clouds here in West Niagara.

On my street when we were kids, we all learned to shoot on our own without our parents' instruction. I ended up left, my brother was right. We're both right handed. It was random between my friends as well. On a similar note, I was into rowing in my teens and twenties. In the boat you have oars going out to half the rower's left (starboard side) and you have oars going out to the the other half's right (port side). Again, it was random as to what side the athletes would gravitate towards.

I don't think there's much correlation between hockey handedness and normal handedness. Kids just do whatever feels good, and it's kind of random.

...JoeSchmoe dusts off guitar and jams out 2112 (however terribly and incorrectly) end to end.

Yes. Yes it was.

The saving grace for the rest of us is that as long as the Sabres aren't mathematically eliminated, we can avoid having to watch any more Comrie starts.

Ok... "catch" everyone.

Man... I'm watching scoreboards as much as everyone here, but we're not back in. Not enough games to pass this many teams. I'm a glutton for punishment though and will watch to the bitter end. So bitter.

Krebs, Girgensons, and Robinson can join him.

Sloppy game. Poor reffing.

When I was a kid, I'd watch SCTA only to hope Bob and Doug would be on. I watched Strange Brew with my kids a few years back. Obviously I'm a lot older now, but it was still pretty funny in a most juvenile way. Edit: I vehemently disagree with you on the Trailer Park Boys. On the surface it was a crude lowbrow comedy, but it was actually under the radar brilliant.

Man... As much as I try, I just can't find the old SCTV clips funny. I REALLY respect the cast, and really want to like it, but either it's all dated now or maybe wasn't really all that funny in the first place. That clip really wasn't funny in the least. Was cool seeing the vintage Canadian mall and sports store, and hearing the old Leafs announcer though.

When you're doing an internet troll, the key is to flame things up with only a minimum amount of typing. When you invest a lot of time in a troll, the joke's very much on you. Go Sabres! Let's Go Buffalo

He's going to be a real humdinger!

I still think we're in fight for a playoff spot if Adams actually did the minimum amount of homework and not signed him.

I immediately have flashbacks to the jokes you see at the urinal where it says "What are you laughing at, the joke's in your hand".

All the best teams have 4th lines that score more than they get scored against. Robinson, Krebs, and Girgensons aren't it.

Here's are team PP stats... Skinner is out #1 power play guy. Skinner is not our problem. OUR REAL PROBLEM IS SKINNER IS OUR #1 PP GUY. If you want to blame anyone, blame Cozens, Tuch, and Tage for sucking so hard compared to last year. Combine this with the fact that year after year our 3rd and 4th lines are a bunch of scrubs.

I already posted the advanced stats (ex GF%). It says he's not so good 5 on 5 at 45.8%. The not-so advanced stats (GF%) have him at 55%. That's pretty good actually... 4th on the team. But it's his PP where he excels. He's far and away our best PP guy. You might not like it hearing it, but without question he helps us win games.

He's going to be a real humdinger!

Does UPL suck again? 🫣

He's terrible

In Canada an Assistant Manager in Training at a gas station with maybe two or three employees working at one time wouldn't be anywhere close to 60-80k. You'd likely get about 45k to start and max out at no more than 50 or 55k. The centrist in me wants to see everyone making a living wage, and for that area north of Utica, $60-80k would be an excellent salary. My only complaint is things haven't kept up in Canada, and now travelling to the US is becoming more and more unaffordable.

I know a family that moved back to Niagara from Vancouver because of the weather. Too much rain in Vancouver. My daughter's friend's dad that moved to Seattle said that all the homes in their neighborhood have concrete play areas in their backyards due to marshy conditions. (Thay said, they are still happier in the US vs Canada). I've never been to Vancouver, but based on the climate data I've looked at (7C highs in the winter and 22C highs in the summer) it doesn't do it for me as a place to live... Even without it being the most expensive place to live in Canada... and despite snowboarding being my favourite pastime. I'd rather live in a small town in the BC interior with a true winter and true summer and take my chances with forest fire smoke. I know the Vancouver ocean is a big selling point but my understanding is it's too cold to swim in. Are there pockets anywhere that are shallow enough to warm up to be comfortable in the summer? The BC interior lakes are more appealing to me. On paper I think Penticton, Invermere, and Nelson would be more up my alley. Closer to home here in Southern Ontario, I'd like to move to an English speaking town in Quebec in the Eastern Townships and still be driving distance away from my kids (presuming they stay in Ontario). My favourite spot in the world though is the Adirondacks, and I'd gladly move to a small town like Long Lake or Speculator if immigration were a non issue.
