This was *really* difficult to watch. You know that these guys are people and we're just cheering for laundry in the end, but the cost isn't always apparent. All of the props in the world to a guy hurting for his friend and other guys like him.
Concussions are messed up. I had a serious one suffered while bouncing back in the day and it was the absolute worst. I'm lucky and came through the other side with minimal effect, but while you're in it, it fucking sucks.

Of course you can. You can use whatever you want in your apartment if you think it looks good or suits you. My apartment is filled with Ikea and Super A-Mart stuff. And I don't care because I don't pretend to be a pretentious connoisseur. I use prints, unique rugs and local-sourced art to tie things together, and it works.
But you have to have to call a spade a spade and realise that your apartment is still filled with Ikea.
Ikea is made from plywood, pleather and all manner of cheap materials.
It's also mass manufactured to all hell.
For $500 you can have a loungeroom that looks exactly like Mrs Jenkins' next door.
A connoisseur will have tables made from actual wood. Couches made with actual leather. And more often than not will look for unique and often imported and hard to get furniture and lounge pieces. Sculptures and expensive centre pieces that tie a room together with a mood or theme.
If you can't tell the difference between quality materials and unique pieces, and cheap mass-manufactured furniture, then you're anything BUT a connoisseur.
You're a pleb.
Own it.
Now that you've been educated, sit back and think about it and leave yesterday where it belonged.

I am not at all surprised you support the Habs
nah, but one more game means he's not missing much
I was ready to come into this thread today giddy about last night's win, complaining about how I had to take a nap during my lunch break because my body isn't used to getting less than four hours of sleep.
But that was heartbreakingI had no idea depression was such a big problem with NHL vets. I don't really follow sports outside of hockey (apart from my beloved White Sox), but is that a problem in other sports leagues as well? And, more pertinent - are there any articles written on depression within the NHL? I'd love to learn more about the subject.
Here's an article from 2011, after 3 former NHL players died (2 suicides and one OD). It speaks about depression, CTE and former NFL players.

It might not be quite what you are looking for but it's a start.

As is tradition.
I don't think it has ever not been Tom Selleck. Sometimes it moustacheless Tom Selleck and tbh, that never looks right.
I have about 50 different Tom Selleck avatars. One for each of my moods.
Thought the same thing.

you would think someone would be smart enough to adjust the pp by now to stop relying on shots from the point
At this point I would just put out the 4th line and a regular ass D pairing.

rangers with more power plays than shots
truly an achievement
-yawn-
Watching CBC? They had a debate as to whether the puck would've gone in if his wrist was 100%. So annoying.
They've said it about three times already.
why would you not play Gretzky on the first line?
