The contrast between centers and wingers is ridiculous. Elite NHL centers....non-NHL wingers.

Even bigger is the contrast between Offense and Defense...

Offense:

Gagner, Tavares, Spezza, Seguin, Duchene, Bergeron, Williams, Pouliot

Defense:

Uh... Demers... Barker... and Colaiacovo? uh...

Mmm

It all achieves the desired result!

First Christmas in YEARS I'm not getting an NHL Jersey, fucking crazy. If there is no NHL this year I'm just gonna spend that money on alcohol (even though I get most of it for free).

Sorry, did I say "If"? I meant "When". Fuck.

Another thing I noticed in Montreal/Quebec City, there were nachos on the menu at almost every restaurant and holy shit they're fucking terrible. Step your nacho game up Canada, the chips were bullshit.

My wife's from California, she complains about stuff like this all the time.

Of course you should be eating stuff like poutine when you're up there not nachos.
 
I've found that, in Canada, nachos get better as you head further west. What I've had in Victoria is as good as the Mexican stuff I've had in the USA. But then again, the farthest south I've been is Florence, Oregon, so my metric is limited.

PS: poutine > nachos. And maple syrup > American sepia sugar-ooze.

Merry Christmas NHL Gaf!

Nachos are definitely something Americans would be known for and not Canadians.

bones, where'd you get good nachos in Vic?

Xmas love for everybody. Even the Swedes.

I can't remember exactly - lately I have been buying handmade tortilla chips from a Mexican lady who runs a little grab-n-go near my work, up on Keating X Road.

I do remember that the nachos at the popular spots are, as a rule, disgusting. Stickey Wicket ones in particular.

GOD JUL SWEDES.

I got socks for Christmas. That actually happened. I'm okay with that.

Merry Christmas, NHL-GAF. May your Nopes be filled with Hope in holes.

Interesting. Next time I go out West I'll be sure to test this theory.

What's the name of her business? I'm good friends with the people that run Puerto Vallarta Amigos in Vic. But they do everything apart from nachos.

IMO nachos are normally a massive disappointment here. $16 for what feels like something that was thrown together and microwaved.

I'd be happy with Socks. Socks are a great gift, it's useful, and most other things people will give you are useless.

I got a suitcase. Yeah.

Merry Christmas you miserable fuckers! Love you all and lets hope that some kind of Christmas Carol type situation haunts Fehr/Bettman tonight and we get an agreement soon!
