Scrubs is a solid show.

Speaking of shows. Loving The Americans. Only on S2 so far.

I really enjoyed S1. S2 was pretty good. I started the first ep of S3 and had no desire to continue. Im sure I will go back at some point but idk when.

Some Canadian hockey show called Benders showed up on my Netflix recommendation thing the other day. Anybody seen it?

Nah. I have been thinking about watching it too though. I may give it a go tonight. It's been raining like hell here again so I may give it a shot tonight


Also it is super weird seeing Sam Neill in another role now other than his in Peaky Blinders.

WHAT ALL 3 JURASSIC PARKS ARE ON NETFLIX NOW. Hell yes.

A Canuck (Pedan) said McCann was the only guy he couldn't get along with and he acted like a "lonely star". >_>

More details here. Bartkowski's mom saying everyone was wonderful besides that little 19 year old is also afforded some weight:

Hopefully he'll mature a lot after being trashed publicly. He's got skill and vision. Just needs to put on a few pounds and ease up on the ego.

Thought it was funny how he completely dropped off after scoring his 6th goal in October and saying it "erased all doubt". Dude made the team and proceeded to disappear.

We all know it's eventually going to happen.

I don't like it but what are we gonna do about it? Boycott? Yeah right we will. :(

the thing is, small ads aren't that bad. even Soccer jersey style ads aren't THAT bad. But if the NHL turns into those yuropean league jerseys, I honestly think i'll watch something else

For Dopey:

Blundell: What's your experience been like at the combine?

Matthews: It's basically just meetings. Meeting with teams, media. Now that it's getting toward the end of it ... we had our medical yesterday, we start our physicals tomorrow and Saturday. I think a lot of guys are dreading that, but it needs to be done. It's been pretty hectic with all the meetings and media requests. But it's been nice seeing some of my old friends and teammates.

Blundell: Can you do pull-ups?

Matthews: Yeah. I can do a couple. ~giggle~

Blundell: Who was in the Leafs meeting with you?

Matthews: Lou, Mark Hunter, a handful of other guys were in [the Leafs meeting]. It was pretty standard, nothing out of the ordinary as far as questions, but I think it went pretty well.

Blundell: What kind of questions did they ask you?

Matthews: They ask about your family, your interests besides hockey, what you do in your free time, what your family, parents, siblings do. It was more of getting to know you better.

Blundell: Was Lamoriello intimidating?

Matthews: He was a little bit. He seems like a really good guy, passionate about what he does. He cares. You look at him and you know who he is and what he represents, but he's a human being, so you just talk to him.

Blundell: What did he ask you?

Matthews: Lou didn't ask me anything in that meeting.

Blundell: Did he just stare at you?

Matthews: He was in the corner of my peripheral vision. He just sat there and listened.

Blundell: Do you have any preferences about where you go?

Matthews: It doesn't really matter to me. I've said it before. I just want to be drafted & play in the NHL for whatever team that is. Just to have the opportunity to wear an NHL jersey is pretty special.

Blundell: Morgon Rielly said he saw you and Babcock chatting in Russia, and was jealous. What did you talk about?"

Matthews: It was pretty standard, kind of like with Lou. They want to get to know you, what makes you tick, what you're all about. It was a lot of get to know you, see how you react, see the things you do, the kind of person you are.

Blundell: You know about how Toronto is the center of the NHL universe (or so we think). Toronto is a fishbowl and we like to run people out of town. Do you think about that at all, or are you more thinking that you'll just come in and play your game?

Matthews: If Toronto ends up picking me, I'll just give it my best and do everything I can to help the team win and become a better player.

Blundell: Have you rented a place in Toronto yet and picked a number?"

Matthews: No. ~giggle~

Blundell: Nice young man. Hopefully we'll talk to him again when he gets picked #1 by the Leafs.

Xia gon' give it to ya

oh please, alright then i'll put a disclaimer : The stereotypical giggling person image is a young japanese female human, and since Matthews appeared to be giggling a lot, I compared him to a young japanese female human. I have nothing against females, japanese people, anime and japanese culture

So youd be ok with the Habs logo being replaced with a tim hortons logo?

Fuck that.

I haven't even seen them yet and I'm feeling nauseous already
This. Fuck the need to have a sponsor logo on everything. Its bad enough already.

NHL jersey ads seem like an inevitability, the tweet I posted has the NHL keeping an eye on fan reactions, that could all just be nothing.

I'm willing to accept compromise with a small patch for advertising, like the NBA are set on doing.
