Man caught shaving on train in viral video says don't judge

All things considered, probably only the 9th most disgusting thing on a typical NJ Transit train.

That came across my Twitter feed because I follow Mark Webber (former F1 driver, and all around cool Aussie bloke) and he blasted the douche about it.

Had no idea he was an NHLer. Did realize he's a prick, though.

This is seriously one of the comments on the article:

At least he is putting the meat to good use and not just trophy hunting like some of the braggarts that take selfies with their kills.

Obviously they didn't even take a second to look at the pictures in the article!

I'm all for hunting animals that are overpopulated like deer or geese or whatever. Or for populations that use them for meat/hides if they are not protected. But outside that, I honestly don't understand the killing of moose, bears, etc. They only recently came out of protected status here in the States. I guess he did it legally, but I certainly don't understand bragging about it.

You have a gun. The animal doesn't. It would be like posting a picture of myself beating a toddler in a game of basketball.

Went and looked up who Tim Brent was and didn’t even recall that he was a Leaf for a year.

Then dawned on me that while at the time I could name the whole roster I can only name maybe 3 or 4 guys on the Leafs every year from 2007-2014.

And it was then that I realized that my brain actually does purge the terrible, god-awful things that my team did over the years and this is probably why I am capable of happiness today. Brains are awesome.

Anyone else in a similar boat? I know most of you are fans of teams that weren’t as consistently horrible as the Leafs were during that span but…well…Hey Buffalo fans?

There was about a 7 year stretch from 1995 to 2002 when the Flames were dismal. I have scrubbed a lot of those memories.

there was a stretch in the late 90's that my canucks knowledge is sparse/lost/selectively forgotten. I cant even remember the actual years and dont even choose to look it up now lol. They were losing, messier and keenan were there, and I didnt even care to watch games or hear about anything they did.

It didnt help that i was in university, working nights at a casino and drinking my liver into oblivion ... most memorable canucks moment was my interactions with Donald Brashear always cashing out down after spending hours at the poker table

Right but at the time you probably knew the entire life story of Clarke Wilm, right? Just like I probably knew that he was getting 4th line minutes with Tie Domi on the Leafs in 05-06.

Meanwhile, you can probably go line for line for the 03-04 team just like I can for any Leaf squad from 98-04, or can even get most of the 92-95 teams pretty down pat despite not even being 10 when they were playing.

The mother of an ex worked at the casino in Brantford and she told me it was a pretty popular spot once upon a time among NHLers from both Toronto and Buffalo because 1) it was out of the way but not ridiculously far, and 2) they thought getting off the highway at "Wayne Gretzky Parkway" and gaming in his home town was good luck for a hockey player.

She said the only guy who she ever saw win was Sundin but he rarely went and Domi apparently pissed off the blackjack table on a regular basis.

I have no idea what you're talking about. The ECF runs in the Drury/Briere years were just a couple of years ago, right?

I've only been a Habs fan since 97 or so, they have been bad a lot of that time. Terrible some of it.

The casino I worked at was less than 10 minutes away from the GM Place/Rogers in the basement of a Holiday Inn. Brashear never talked. So surly. Other players tried to chat him up and he would just sit there ... and lose. The dealers hated him because he never tipped.

I remember he was in my cash out line at 2am (closing time back then) the night an asian lady won 20K in pai gow poker and I only had $20's left ... no hundreds and no thousands (yes those existed!). You had to fan out the currency as you counted (for the mini cameras that surrounded) so it took forever (she didnt want a cheque - and yes it was a great cdn casino lol ). Smoking was still legal indoors back then and she was blowing smoke in my face as i counted. That was a fun night ... everybody in line wanted to reach through the cage opening and kill me. When Brashear walked up in his leather trenchcoat he was smoking too and all i could think of was that it was all so 70's

The Habs have generally been poorly run since that era and yet every 3 or 4 years they just pull an ECF run out of their ass and get their fans all hyped.

Like, I fully expect them to make an ECF appearance in the next two years despite the fact their roster is saved from the ignominy of being the league’s worst thanks only to the Team up the A40.

I really wonder how many of them were still smoking in the late 90s on.

I think a lot of the guys who "couldn't keep up" after the 05 lockout and the game changes that resulted in everything speeding up were the guys who smoked in the change room.

I don't know, this feels like a long long stretch of futility coming on to me. The fact that the Bergevin is still employed worries me.
