I learned to swim by nearly drowning as a kid. I was at the beach, in one of those inflatable tubes you put around your body, and for some reason decided to raise my arms in the air, sank right away. Managed to kick my legs and arms well enough to get back to the surface.

I'd call myself a strong swimmer now.

Yikes glad you're okay man. Looking back on it I am glad my parents forced me to take swimming lessons, even though I hated them.


Just got offered a full-time job for after graduation fron my 1st choice firm. So much fucking relief.

Damn Soc, that is a total nightmare scenario. I'm glad you made it out with just a ruined phone. And did your friend really save the dog before helping anybody else? I would be livid about that.

Good that everyone is fine Soc.



Living in FLA I knew quite a few people who cannot swim. Essential skill IMO, especially living near the ocean or any body of water really. Only real close call was being sucked out by a riptide by about ~150 or so yards from the coast. I was trying some spear fisishing (really crude hand made spear with 4 straightened hooks on a pole lol) and just felt this really heavy slow suction on me. I tried to swim against it for a few minutes but it was wholly futile so I was just bobbing up and down for about ten minutes when I started to swim out horizontal to the pull and got free. Wasn't scary then but if I wasn't a decent swimmer it could've been pretty bad.

Glad you made it Soc. Work on your swimming if you can bro. People don't really think about it but it is something you really should know how to do well, IMO. Doesn't matter if you go swimming once a week or once every five years, when you need it you'll need it no matter what.

Not directly. Someone would go on my XBL friend's list to tell everybody and I have a few friends from here on there.

Hopefully it doesn't happen any time soon for any of us.

I wouldn't get in a boat without a life jacket, I can barely swim and almost drowned as a child (jumped off a dock, banged my head coming up and only by luck ended up surfacing). Glad you're ok Soc!

I have a 48 hour dead man's switch tied to my GAF account. If I don't log in and give a manual "all clear" a stick of thermite melts my HDD to slag and deletes my GAF account. As part of my last will and testament my lawyer will be visiting bish to hand him a list of the 20 NHL-GAF fans I want banned in my honour. Truth is I'm actually kind of fond of most of you but like an old viking chieftain I don't want to face the afterlife alone. Sorry.



Also, re: hacked nude fest 2014 I just can't look up that stuff. I'd feel kinda gross just being even tangentially involved with the depressing scumbags who go around trying to steal ppl's private shit. I mean, I understand the appeal of knowing what famous hot women look like naked but I'll wait until they're poor and pose for Playboy, like god intended as laid out in the bible. Show up for an awards show with your nips hanging out though? I'll take a look for sure.

Jeezus fuck, Soc. I'm glad you float like a butterfly and (verbally) sting like when I pee.

I can only imagine the fear you must of felt in that moment.

But hey, massive respect for having the leadership abilities to get a lifejacket and sort out other people around you. That's huge.

Until I was 14, I'd always lived with a swimming pool. So I was thrown into a pool as soon as I was born. Then there was lake swimming, and both primary and secondary schools throwing us into pools so that they could try and develop the next Kieren Perkins/Dawn Fraser. I'm amazingly grateful that this country develops kids at a young age to learn how to deal with water.

Woah woah. I'm sorry if I was misleading. Let me be very clear: I exhibited zero leadership abilities. I grabbed one lifejacket, not three. Only once I had a modicum of confidence that I wasn't going to die did I look around and take concern for everyone else (and was then honestly helpless to do anything given my chicken wing life jacket).

No no, she was content that we were alright. Again, it all happened in seconds. It's kind of hard to give an accurate timeline. That moment between the boat flipping and us then swimming toward it is actually a complete blur.

Huh, I was going to say River City Sports because they used to have national team replicas but don't seem to anymore on the website. Only Team Canada and USA licensed gear now. Google finds some places selling some clothing like IceJerseys but they seem to only have "fan jerseys".

I remember talking to a manager at RCS years ago about getting Euro league sweaters and he said they had been trying forever with minimal success. Said it was really difficult to get teams in the SEL/Liiga/etc to even respond to requests from overseas to buy merchandise for resale, the language barrier was the initial hurdle but there were always 5 or 6 extra steps that would require a lawyer.

I always wanted a HC Moscow Spartak or Jokerit sweater, never was able to find one. At least nowadays you can normally buy hats and shit from the team directly, but they never seemed to sell replicas (at least not a few years ago when I was last looking).

I took swimming lessons as a kid but never got far plus I hated the chlorine and getting water in my nose/ears/eyes. I won't go anywhere near water unless I had a life jacket.

Dang Soc, crazy story right there. At least you aren't dead (or any of you for that matter).

Never really liked swimming but I can swim pretty decently, open water can be some scary stuff though.

In other news, I came into work and switched over my Wings calendar for this month and guess who's wonderful mug was greeting me for September!

This Guy!

Man oh man, that's a scary story Soc, glad you're all ok. :( "Not Without Hope" is one of my favourite books, and your situation brought it back to mind. Being out in the water stranded is a terrifying thought to me.

That's a crazy story, Soc. The only thing similar that ever happened to me was at camp when I was a kid. We went sailing out on this lake in Upstate NY, like 2 people to a boat, and I guess we turned too hard or caught a real strong crosswind and went right over. Boat capsized, but worse for me was that a rope from the sail basically ripped my glasses right off. We weren't too far away from shore, so I think we may have just swam back in, but now I can't really see, and the only backup glasses I had were a pair of sunglasses that were back in the cabin. Which was up a rocky hill, across a road, and then up another hill again. So that sucked. And then I was stuck in dark sunglasses for the next 3 days.



Look who showed up at the Rangers' practice today (oh, by the way, most of the Rangers are back to work in Westchester now):

Hextall extending Rinaldo for two more years make no sense to me. He just had a horrible season; why not wait until after the 14-15 season to decide on whether he should be on the team going forward?

This summer Chevy resigned willing punching bag/Corsi debacle/4th line anchor Chris Thorburn to 3ys at 1.2 per. Just a baffling contract, why on earth you pay any fringe 4th liner over a mill is beyond me, but to give him *3* years is insane. I guess GMs are like fans sometimes, they just like modestly skilled tough guys who visibly try hard at all times (because they suck and have to be visibly giving 110% every second they are on the ice) way more than they should.

Some people say "but enforcers are always the most popular players!" but it's because they absolutely have to be. If they weren't 'great guys' and super friendly to teammates, fans and media they'd be in the AHL and some other extremely replaceable but more pleasant to be around guy would be on the team instead.

Bernier had a sleeve from last season, though the left arm might be new. Not sure.

Pads are simple, but they look good. I'm a sucker for fresh equipment.

Speaking of which, I think I need to buy a pair of gloves and a new helmet. Maybe even new skates.

MIGHT AS WELL ADD IN A STICK.

Got a story for you guys. I hope you enjoy

Spent the weekend on this sweet little island on a lake. It was amazing - I was very lucky. The downside is that in order to get there you have to take this small, old boat that necessitates a few trips to bring everyone and everything over to the island (and then back afterwards, of course). And naturally it's important to take as few trips as possible. Sidebar: I kept thinking of this riddle. On the first day I'm on the first boat over, arrive on the island, and proceed to the cabin with two dogs. I tie them up and go back to the dock to get the bags we'd brought across. Meanwhile trip #2 is underway. Everyone arrives in due course and our weekend begins.

Good times.

Earlier today, we pack our things and bring everything down to the dock. Trip #1 leaves, then trip #2, and finally trip #3 which will include everything remaining: my friend driving the boat, a cooler, a few bags, a 70 lb dog, my very large family friend (picture something like this, but with a bigger belly), and myself. I'm a bit uncomfortable but the huge dude gets right in the middle so it's all good. I sit down at the bow with the cooler and we're off.

So we set off to the opposite dock, cutting across the lake, perpendicular to the paths of all other boats. On our way over we'd talked about how sketchy this is, but their family has been doing this for decades , not to mention how considerate everyone on the lake is. Seemed like nothing more than idle chitchat. But in retrospect it was foreshadowing. So, immediately after taking off we notice a speed boat on course to cut in front of us, but a ways away. No problem. It passes by without issue. Of course, though, we're heading straight into its wake. Again, never been a problem before so we continue on. I'm a bit anxious about this, but I've already seen them to be practiced authorities on all things concerned, and they don't seem fazed.

The first wave hits and we immediately take on a bit of water. My friend cuts the engine as a precaution, meaning the bow dips down. The second wave hits and we take on a lot more water. Fuck, this is bad. The third wave hits and we're done. The boat is now sinking. The boat is now underwater.

Another sidebar: I can't swim. Rather, I can't be trusted to swim. I've swam only in controlled conditions, never out in a place where I could drown, and I've never been able to reliably tread water.

Also: we're not wearing life jackets. Just heavy clothing.

It all happened within a few seconds. The moment it was obvious that the worst fucking case scenario was actually fucking happening, I fished around for a life jacket under the cooler and grabbed one just as the water took us. Chaos. Sheer terror. Self-preservation had kicked in and I was scrambling in the water to actually get this life jacket on; I settled with it hooked under one arm, giving me some help. At the same time I'm looking around and taking account. The dog is not a good swimmer and is flipping the fuck out. My friend is panicking and the huge guy, I thought, had disappeared under the water. I turn my head around and find him struggling toward the boat. It had popped back up a few yards away, overturned. My friend is a strong swimmer and manages to take the dog and hoist it onto the boat. I grab its edge and so does the huge guy.

The boat that had flipped us is long gone. There are no boats nearby. We are halfway between both shores. The rest of our group is loading the cars on the other side and barely within earshot. We scream to them which, I find later, was barely audible and only made them panic as they had no way to help us. The dog, meanwhile, is standing on this flipped boat that is alternating continuously between 'This will do for now' and 'Fuck me is it going under again'. The dog's panicked pacing back and forth does not help. She goes to the end to see her owner, which begins to dip 90% of the boat under water again. I call her over to balance the boat, but she comes right to me and nearly slides off onto me. We do this dance for the next 5 minutes. Or 30 seconds. It felt like an eternity.

Finally another boat hears our whistles and slowly makes its way over. Then another boat. We awkwardly get on, settle down, and we're taken to our crew.

Lessons learned:

- If you're going to spend a lot of time in the water, take whatever time necessary to be a strong swimmer. AND/OR:
- Wear life jackets. Regardless of how good a swimmer you are. If nothing else wearing a life jacket means you're in a better position to help someone that isn't.
- Just do four trips..... really.... why are we in a hurry....
- If a boat FEELS sketchy, it probably IS FUCKING SKETCHY.
- More evidence that my survival instincts are not lacking, though my cautiousness is
Click to expand...

Yikes!! Glad to hear everyone is okay. That's definitely scary though.

Growing up in Hawaii, I became a pretty good swimmer at a young age. But water (especially the ocean) can quickly pull a fast one on you at any time.

I was out bodysurfing once at a beach I usually go to when a ginormous set of choppy waves rolled in and I got caught up in between them. I'm usually able to dive underneath them but I couldn't catch my breath in between them. By just the third or fourth wave, I was barely diving underneath and I lost a fin. It felt like each wave was getting bigger too. I couldn't see shit because it was all whitewash. I remember swallowing some water and grasping, flailing to find the surface. I was finally able to somewhat catch a wave for about 30 yards to the shore.

It was the closest I've ever felt to drowning and it was an experience I never want to feel again. I remember sitting on the beach thinking "...holy shit, man."

Went back out the next day!

Nice. I just looked at the Leafs schedule, and Leafs TV gets NO exclusive broadcasts. That channel needs to die.

And Marlies games, I guess.

They should piggyback Marlies games on some of those channels. I'm sure TSN could use some more hockey broadcasts.

come in my shame circle
Holy shit glad you're okay Soc.

I've been to a buddy's cottage like that before, his bigger boat broke down and he had to pick us up in a really small shitty one. I can't swim at all so was shitting bricks the entire 10 minute boat ride to his cottage.

I did once almost drown when someone pushed me into a lake, that feeling is one of the worst I've ever felt.

As for someone's question on if anyone would know if I died...I'd guess BigJonsson would probably know through Facebook, but that's about it really.

I had it for a couple of years back when they had around 24 games, and even then it was already tough keeping it because of the weak filler they air.

Leafs games in 6 minutes, Marlies games in 6 minutes, Leafs games in 1 hour, Marlies games in 1 hour, Classic games in 1 hour, etc.

And I barely tuned in in the summer.

Can you only be in one clan? If so I'll be with my friends, if you can have two I'll join the NHLGAF one too, of course on the superior Xbox One.

You can be in multiple clans at once

The clan isn't divided by console, both XB1 peasants and PS4 master racers can join

Cool, sent a request then. It's a shame both XB1 gods and PS4 losers have to share the same clan though.

Are those 6 national TV nucks games only on city? Cuz I don't have that. Also sucks to hear no national tsn games. Do they not a main network anymore or what?


Also unless they changed things you can only be in one destiny clan but you can be in multiple groups.

They just don't have the rights

Although... I think it's true that they don't have a main, basic cable network anymore. I'm pretty sure you get a different # TSN with your basic cable package depending on region. But I think for national broadcasts of other stuff like CFL they just show them on all the TSN channels.
