Don't be silly. Kessel wasn't even born then.
No active player in the NHL was
I'll never get over the fact that he is 24 but looks 42. Everytime...

More bitterness on Burke from Canucknuckleheads? SHOCKING NEWS,
BREAKING NEWS: CANUCKS, DOAN SEEN ENTERING HOTEL TOGETHER. CANUCKS AGREES TO DO ANAL, IN PRINCIPLE.
Pretty much.
I'd be thrilled to have him for this year/next year, but 4? And at a raise over his last 4.5M... eh.

that 1-1 goal made me lol so hard at Woman's soccer.
Didn't watch the game. Just saw the updates through twitter. What's with all the bitter tears, Canada? Is it because of the loss or was there more to it?

USA's tying goal was on the back of an atrocious call. It's not the losing, it's the how.
i get being upset about the indirect kick call but the handball? the ref tried to make good by swallowing her whistle when morgan got taken down in the box shortly after the PK too.
US dominated possession, corners and shots. deserved to win. great effort from Canada and Sinclair to convert the chances they had.

He is from east van after all.
Catching a replay of the soccer game. I've already mentally prepared myself to be outraged.
The Soccer game was such a shame. Canada had such amazing goals but had a couple lapses (not covering the corner post on the first goal was a rookie mistake) and then got slightly robbed by a call I've never ever seen called (it's essentially like the NHL delay of game call if you get kicked out of the faceoffs twice - never actually called, especially not in a critical game)
Then the handball, usually refs will let that slide as when the free kick is that close as it's hard to avoid (and they tried), but it's a fair enough call. I don't think anyone really has an issue with the handball, it's the call before it. There was a couple other questionable calls each way, but that one call was a robbed situation.

Fuck yeah, Boyler.
US is ranked #1 in women's soccer
US population: 311 million, Canada population: 34 million
Canada has not beaten the US in 10 years (women's soccer)
Semi-finals (olympics are very big for women's soccer, whereas they're kinda meaningless for men's [men's is U-23])
Soccer doesn't have the same stigma in Canada than it does in the US (we don't have the same contempt for the rest of the world)
It was also an entertaining game and happened to fall on a holiday in Canada.
Ehhhh
- the ridiculous indirect kick call in the box
- the handball was not a foul: http://www.refblog.com/non-blog/handling_paper.pdf
- there was a handball by Rapinoe that was much closer to handling the ball, but was not called (???)
- missed fouls against the US where they injured two of our players (after we couldn't sub them out)
- there were some other mysterious calls that went against canada
- Morgan getting "taken down"... the defender got the ball. i'm not sure if she hit morgan before contacting the ball, though. but that'd be a sketchy pk to call
Good for US "dominating" in some respects, but if the reffing had been competent, Canada would have won. I find it difficult to say that the US deserved anything more than a chance at the bronze, considering.
But the US did play an awesome game. Morgan and Rapinoe are incredible players. But I'm also proud of Canada. They got about as many chances as the US and I feel they deserved better.
Also, Sinclair is amazing. 143 goals in 189 international appearances. Only second to Mia Hamm, who had 158 in 275. That record will be destroyed. Sinclair is only 29
Also, US had the hotter players. Most definitely
oh and HOW DO YOU NOT HAVE A PLAYER AT NEAR POST DURING A CORNER. you learn that shit before you can lace your own boots

How much milk do Canadians end up throwing out because of the use of bags? Surely not every time you open a bag you end up using all of it's contents. Do the really frugal Canadians just put the excess in Tupperware?
Those poor cows, man.
Those poor cows, man.
Fun fact: milk maintains its freshness longer in bags than cartons and jugs
Used to use both, had to toss a lot.
Bags? In the last decade haven't had to toss any milk
It seems odd in concept, but in use it works so well
CANUCKS CRAWL OUT OF BED, GETS DRESSED, WALKS OUT THE DOOR. TELLS DOAN "WILL CALL". CANUCKS TAKE WALK OF SHAME.
Milk bags are awesome. And you put the bag in a pitcher, like so:
Simple, easy.

Milk bags are a lot less stressful then worrying about getting sick and going bankrupt.
Too easy man, too easy. I feel bad for them, it's past the funny
your satisfaction isnt guarenteed.
U S A ! U S A !
