I Was There! Official L Receiver 2/12/2016
In one week the Bruins overpaid a terrible player and watched two franchise players they traded make the Stanley Cup final

The importance of references shouldn't be understated.

Neither should the ease to manufacture them.

This.

My longtime references are two of my friends.

It's weird what stories you guys make up with a little bit of info.

So I have this right based on all your stories so far:

I'm a 20 year old asian kid who sells Infiniti brand cars (I do love that brand) to cover the difference my parents pay for my apartment. And I am secretly in love with my best friend who I created an elaborate 6-month travel plan just to try to have sex with, but I have so far been unsuccessful?

opulent gangam style~

eyyyy tabris babeh

you only got one shot, do not miss your chance to blow, this opulent-tunity comes once in a lifetime

What am I missing?

the fact you're an insufferable insecure weed

Stop shitting on my team. Start shitting on my finger.
Czech Republic's roster is weak. Decent top six with Voracek, Krejci, Hertl, Plekanec, Pasternak, and Palat. Other than that it is :lol worthy though. They're going to get wrecked.

Russia has a dominant forward group. Ovi, Malkin, Tarasenko, Kuz, Datsyuk, Panarin, Kucherov. Pretty disgusted they added Voynov but it's Russia so I'm not sure why I expected different.

Glad Finland added Haula. That's 3/3 Wild Fins making it. Pretty excited about that.

Hoo boy that Russian/Czech Defence. Russia is not as bad as the Czech one though.

come in my shame circle
Just read that Steve Simmons article on the raptors casino trip.

I wonder if the same fake source for the Kessel hot dog stand story told him about this? Lmao

I think what I find even more hilarious is I know he wanted this to blow up in the states as well but nobody cares.

The opinions I've seen from most outlets was "They weren't drinking or making a scene so what?"

With some players flat out coming out and saying they don't usually go to bed until 2-4am anyways whether they're in their room or not.

any of you got some insider tips for the best hotels in New York around 200 CAD a night (that's 153.28 USD)? Help me make my trip opulent as fuck (on-a-budget-opulent)

Have you looked into Airbnb?

You might have some luck there.

I did! although i'm a kind of a princess. I hate heat and I don't want to waste half of my yearly vacation sleeping in a room with no AC and sharing a bathroom with people, I hate people and I'd much rather have my own private thing for the gf and I. I'm also driving there so it's nice to have a parking where I can leave my car for a couple of days and not have to worry

Airbnb apartments with AC seem to cost more than hotels from what I could gather, so I might as well just pay for that instead

Sweden's defence makes me slightly aroused, not gonna lie

if Canada actually used their best available players instead of Weber and stopped worrying so much about handedness, they might be as good

the only black mark on Sweden's selections is Kronwall over Klingberg

If you want to stay anywhere near Manhattan in an even remotely decent hotel, you better add at least another $100 per night to that. If you're ok staying near the airport or in some dubious places deep in the outer boroughs, you might have just enough.

Summer in NYC.

How are you going to manage the poopsies on your trip? Just hold them in?

You're kidding, but both my gf and I have IBS, so having a private bathroom to get back to if you don't feel well is kinda important. Just the sense of security of having one can prevent some stress, and therefore prevent some IBS crisis

Oh jeez, sorry.

Maybe you guys can crash at Marvie's place.

I've actually been looking at rooms in Manhattan for an upcoming trip too. AirBnb will run you about $200 a night after all fees.You can pay $50 more per night for a decent (3-star) hotel. Getting a hotel outside Manhattan (Brooklyn/Long Island City) doesn't confer the price advantage it once did.

Parking will be expensive regardless.

PM me if you want some more info.

Im fairly happy with the additions except.
Would have prefered Enroth over Lehner though, and Backlund over Kruger.

This is amazing. NHL 04 on PC modded to 2016 rosters and arenas and even faces and shit. This comes at a perfect time as I am selling my Xbone and the only thing I will miss is playing hockey. This should tie me over until I pick up a PS4 in the fall.

Reasoning for modding the 04 and not the 09 version lol.

Trent (not his real name) is a longtime hockey fan who lives in Finland. He’s the coordinator of NHL 2004 Rebuilt, and feels strongly that NHL 04 is the best hockey game EA Sports ever built.

“When NHL 05 came out, I was disgusted,” he told Digital Trends. “The AI is pure crap.”

NHL 05 to 09 were all, in Trent’s opinion, easy to the point of being broken.

“I was able to win my first NHL 09 game, at the hardest difficultly, 8-0,” he said. “But I still get my arse kicked in NHL 2004. This is the only game, for me, that still feels like real hockey.”

oh man seriously, try the 04 version, it's INCREDIBLE. It's a little janky here and there but the amount of effort they put in is insane. It's not just a roster update, it's also a gameplay settings overhaul

Yoo I'm going to NYC in August for work and will be tacking on some vacation. I'll be asking you guys questions for sure. Since I get a free flight I might just splurge on an opulent hotel stay.
