I feel sorry for his sister. They were both adopted. Adoptive father then died when they were kids. Raised by a single mom. Bonded and became very close. Moved to Vancouver together several years ago. Mom is still out East and stressing.

We're heading over to Van this weekend but may not see them as things are so intense.

Im so sorry to read this. My best wishes to everyone involved. Stay strong

Doesn't mean he's wrong.

So we discovered a couple weeks ago that my cousin has hydrocephalus. He immediately went in for surgery, which was successful initially. He had a shunt going from his brain and putting the extra fluid into his stomach. But apparently that failed today and he had to go back into surgery. Apparently this is very bad, but I really don't know. Getting info from his sister and don't want to pester her.

Such a good dude. We were so happy for him that he had been feeling shitty for ages and had it diagnosed and corrected and was feeling much better. He doesn't deserve this. :/

Grateful to be in good health. Knock on wood.

Shit, hope everything turns out well.

Best wishes, Soc. I hope it works out in some way, and I hope you remain in good health also.

Sorry to hear that Soc.

[MetatronM]

That sucks, Soc. Hope everything turns out alright.

Lundqvist

 

[Socreges]

Ah you guys are too good

Friend and I did some Wikipedia research and got some more promising info. If the second surgery is successful, he should be OK. Sometimes it just doesn't take at first, I guess.

Will assume that's the case unless I'm told otherwise

 

[bonesmccoy]

Keeping the Extended Socregreses in my thoughts and prayers!

Hope your pa-duke is doing well too.

 

[Fata1moose]

This is an appropriate attitude when playing for the Avs.

 

[MetatronM]

No Malkin or Hagelin for the Penguins

No McDonagh or Vesey for the Rangers

High stakes here, clearly.

He is! Better, at least. He's on the right medication now. Can drink again (just not late at night when he takes the meds) and has his sense of humour back since the old meds were muting his personality. Next problem will be dementia, which can go hand-in-hand with Parkinson's but we'll take stuff as it comes

Thanks for asking

Hopefully it won't come to that.
My father currently suffers from both. It hasn't been easy for any of us.

Best wishes for your cousin.

Thanks Desi. And sorry to hear that. How old is your dad?

Best wishes for you and your family Soc.


In hockey news, Patrik Elias of the Devils is retiring.

 

[RC]

Thanks Desi. And sorry to hear that. How old is your dad?

74. But he first developed Parkinson's five years ago shortly after he retired.

 

[Chris R]

Jost gonna be so awesome to watch.

Shame I can't see tonights game

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Best wishes to you guys.

He's getting his number retired though

Edit: Sid the Kid. Son of a... that was nasty

 

[MetatronM]

I mean that goal is just plain unfair. Crosby made that look easy.

 

[Marvie_3]

Panarin!!!


Stop getting points, fuckhead.

 

[Clockblockers]

why are oduya and seabrook still paired together?

 

[Marvie_3]

What a garbage call.

Edit: Nevermind. Didnt look like a penalty before the replay.

why are oduya and seabrook still paired together?

Because Q is an idiot.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

FIRE QUENNEVILLE

 

[Clockblockers]

Because Q is an idiot.

I feel like he plays with pairings a little too much. This is the same guy that scratched vermette and teuvo during a playoff game

 

[Cake Boss]

Why is Chitown always playing on Fridays it seems.

 

[Marvie_3]

Fuck off Hartnell.

I feel like he plays with pairings a little too much. This is the same guy that scratched vermette and teuvo during a playoff game

He needs to keep playing with them until Seabrook and Oduya arent together.

 

[MetatronM]

I could have sworn that went in.

 

[Marvie_3]

Kruger on the power play? Are you fucking kidding me?


Come on Hartman

 

[Foggy]

Crawford is leaking

 

[Marvie_3]

Well that was shitty

 

[MetatronM]

Well that one is certainly in.

 

[Foggy]

Comical

 

[Clockblockers]

god the refereeing in the NHL has been horrendous all year

And Hossa is unbelievable

 

[Marvie_3]

HOOOOOOOOOOOSSSAAAAAAA

Sweet passes from Kane and Seabrook

 

[MetatronM]

Regular Season Rick Nash!

 

[MetatronM]

Glenn Healy is working the MSG broadcast from between the benches, and it's very clear, because he's mentioned it multiple times now, that he does not know that the Rangers have already clinched a playoff spot.

 

[Marvie_3]

Thanks for the free power play

 

[bonesmccoy]

Sorry to hear that, man. My pops just hit 73 this year. We almost lost him at 71 after a kidney stone op went south.

Healy is such a fucking tool. Dumping him was the best thing HNIC has ever done.

Blechhhhh fucking Glenn Healy

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Why do Streamables no longer work on mobile? Is this a April fools joke?

 

[MetatronM]

KREIDERRRRRRR

With 11 seconds to go!

That goal will give the Rangers a point tonight, which means they have now clinched the first wild card spot.

 

[Marvie_3]

Hjalmarbot injured......



For about 5 seconds while his OS reboots
