Comedy BRONZE out of Vancouver

[Bloody Brian Burke]

as an aside i was just looking at Kunlun Red Stars (KHL) roster (because iirc thats the team that had the "prominent chinese businessman" who was paying for his kid to play on that team) ... its a whos who of "oh wow, thats where he ended up?"

There are like 5 ex Leafs on that team.

I'm not even a little surprised.

Head coach Mike Keenan
Captain Vacant

The captain description made me guffaw. Didn't know Keenan was still coaching. Guess he couldn't guess Messier to unretire

2 years ago i got giants 2 tickets from saveon for 6000 points each ... in the upper bowl !!!

This is nuts ... cheapers than bc lions tickets

View attachment 166068

Ahl team ... ahl ticket prices???

So it turns out that 3000 points plus $25 was for preseason games

But the oct 12 game v ottawa was 3000 points plus $33 per lower bowl ticket

Got Row 9 behind the net for $33 and the points redemption equivalent to a free gallon of milk... wow lol

He realizes the controversial optics of a father buying a team so his son, who only scored one goal last season, can play. The leap from playing at a U.S. high school to a junior A team is a big one in some eyes.

“Some local people think I was doing this to more easily immigrate or that I was buying a plaything, a luxury experience, for my son,” says Zhang. “But when they see how hard he works, and what he wants to do and how this helps him to do it, they start to see beyond,”

There's a person that focuses solely on the negative. Yes we have this but man the beauty of this city is immense. Glad he's gone if this report is accurate. Fuck him

I don't know if there is much demand for a fatty forward who doesn't score, jstew.

I've been put on waivers?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Fatty cleared the buffet table

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Cesspool had reporter who did that story on tryamkin

Sounds like nikita had a bigger prob with the dope coach than the dope city

 

[jstewismybastardson]

The dopecity term was brought up by the reporter (who saw it ... and probably lived it lol ... at the 2010 olympics) and nikita laughed at it ... sounds like a lost in translation thing

 

[mattola]

Huh

On waivers today : Frank Corrado (Pitt), Hunter Shinkaruk (Cgy).
