Ongoing NHL thread - Part III

Well, Connor does bring a lot of hope to the Oilers (coincidentally that's where the movie "First Blood" was shot).

/Hope, BC

I like *some* of Beyonce's music, and I love her because I like the way she handles herself. She does it with more class than a majority of celebs. Also, to back up BBB...Bieb's new album is pretty solid. It's so much better than his early crap. Keep in mind, I don't voluntarily listen to his music...but I won't complain if someone else puts it on (AKA all week I just spent with the softball team in Florida).

It's not my #1 but, like, it wasn't completely unbearable.

Also, Beyonce provided one of my favourite memes ever so...

Hope was also the location of a Japanese internment camp during WWII.

Maybe it could be a good spot for an Oiler fan internment camp?

Tier 2 fans anyways, eh BBB (cause Lowe doesn't really care about them).

Caps switching up some lines in practice today with Jay Beagle playing wing on the top line with Ovechkin and Backstrom. Quote from OV...

""Maybe Oshie don't want to play with us."

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Not all of us. I cannot stand her music. The one I dislike the most is Rhianna. I think she's a no talent skank and wish she would go away...

Rihanna is a borderline c u next tuesday, right higgy?

That could make for an interesting thread all by itself.

Firing up the ORM app. Stand by.

Beagle back with Ovechkin. I guess that things were going too well with all of the winning this year and they decided to go back to some of the old techniques.

 

[DragonfromTO]

I'll never understand the obsessions with either of them, but I feel like there will be university courses taught in the future about the effect Beyonce had on this generation of women.

This is more evidence of what poor value a university degree has become than it is evidence of the importance of anything that Beyonce has done.

 

[DragonfromTO]

Terrible musician though.

He always had fresh new skins for the drums though

Maybe OV has started to dog it in practice or maybe it's just a ruff patch? Could be that the press is hounding him?

You'd think he'd throw them a fucking bone once in a while

Meh. You're right about degrees but I think there is value in examining how an individual can be so popular among the masses and genuinely influence culture (be it for better or worse).

I think you're being awfully optimistic about what the focus of these courses will be.

I would also add that I don't really think that there's anything new or unique or ground breaking about Beyonce's popularity in the first place that would make it eminently teachable.

Well, it depends where they're taught. It's one thing if Ivy Leaguers or McGill/Queens/U of T were teaching them, quite another if SEC schools are using a course like that to convince football players to "student-athlete" for them.

Based on my time at probably the most prestigious college that there is I'm very comfortable calling "bullshit" on the Ivy League Beyoncé class too.

Since Bieber was re-introduced into the thread, I feel compelled to let you guys know that I have failed as a parent. My daughters used to hate Justin Bieber, now they like him (especially his latest album).

/I feel great shame.

My daughter (pre-teen now) said to me the other day "i still don't like him, but his new album is pretty good"
But then yesterday she says out of the blue "guess what song I have in my head"
It was Black Sabbath "Faeries Wear Boots". I was so proud. deep cut, that one

Sometimes universities jump the gun on adding classes about people they assume will be of continued importance. My minor in Hammer Studies (about MC Hammer) is virtually worthless now.

@TSNBobMcKenzie 3h3 hours ago
Ex VAN assistant GM Laurence Gilman was retained by NHL to help come up with potential expansion draft scenarios/procedures/rules.

Lots of universities offer courses on the Beatles and while 3/4's of what you learn is pretty useful the last 1/4 was rather unimpressive and easily learned by reading the back of a ketchup bottle.
