@f00l The Stars media crew trolls better than any other crew. I’ll never forget their troll of Joel Ward after he got stuck in a mens room stall several years back. Good times!
@f00l Our minor hockey league team hired this goon. One game he got sent to the penalty box for fighting, as did the opponent he was fighting with. He wasn’t done- he climbed over the box wall, skates and all, trampled the officials table, and climbed into the opposing penalty box to continue the fight. He got thrown out of the game and they had to stop for maybe 10 minutes because he broke the game clock. Good times.
Hey, Canadians are just like American except that they’re not Americans.
They have a parliament and a Queen.
They have duct tape (good).
They have way way way cold weather (not so much).
They have serious scenery and wilderness (good).
They allow online gambling (good).
And on the “not Americans” factor, they might have something there.
And they play the right football in the right way.
@jbartus The average high in Vancouver in January, the coldest month, is in the 40’s. That’s not “way, way, way cold” even by Florida standards, smartass.
Of course, seeing mention of your wife above, @lichme, reminds me…did’t you guus acquire a youngin’ last year? Yes, my kids tease me about having babies on the brain all the time!
@PlacidPenguin I don’t have to take this from you, I’m taking my puck and going home.
@lichme
Sorry, that was mean of me. I’ll try again.
But… Canada.
Turns out, I just can’t help myself.
@lichme
Bring me back some maple syrup when you return.
I’d specify the alcoholic type, but that would be redundant.
Yay Canadian stereotyping!
@PlacidPenguin How are you gonna make fun of Canada, when obviously, you are one of us, opening with Sorry
@PlacidPenguin Too late, I saw that admission.
@lichme
I’m not even going to respond to such an accusation (about me being one of you).
(This isn’t a response.)
(I need to consult my lawyers.)
@PlacidPenguin Can’t hide it now, I bet if I started humming the anthem, you’d start reciting it.
@lichme
Does it start “O Canada”? After that I’m clueless.
@f00l Indeed it does.
@lichme
Pfft. I don’t even know the US anthem.
@PlacidPenguin Why would you, you’re Canadian.
@lichme
Never had Canadian citizenship.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@PlacidPenguin It’s your heart that counts (unless you run into the RCMP at the border)
@ELUNO
Meant for South Korea.
Ugh.
@lichme
You don’t wanna know what’s in my heart.
/giphy eating a heart
@PlacidPenguin Well, I’m friendly, but not that friendly. Plus I’m married. Thanks for the card though.
Edit: Too late, I saw it, screenshot!
We love our Stars.
@f00l even though their only Stanley Cup was won on the back of a rule violation?
@jbartus
@Moose HAHAHAHA, I love this video
@Moose Hey, I just call it like it is. His skate was in the pocket! It’s probably the most controversial Stanley Cup win.
@jbartus
It happened.
And the cup showed up.
And the locals got wasted with the team.
And someday …
@f00l someday you’ll get one without breaking a rule?
@jbartus
Actually don’t know about that or give a fuck about it.
I dont follow hockey. I just like having fun.
Chill already. The NHL hasn’t come over to take their championship back.

@sammydog01 Good ol’ Ogie
Go Bruins!
Original 6 Old Time Hockey!
@jbartus Round 1, Game 7. I will always hate the Bruins for it.
@lichme Canadians can’t hate, it’s impolite.
@jbartus The rules don’t apply when hockey is involved.
@lichme hmm… well it could be worse, you could be a Canucks fan!
I remain unconvinced, however.
@jbartus @lichme
Being Canadian is bad enough.
@PlacidPenguin I’m sorry you feel that way
@lichme
I’m sorry you don’t.
But in all seriousness, Canadians have a few perks.
@PlacidPenguin

or is it perqs?

@f00l Not all of Canada gets really cold.

@lichme I just realized I misspoke earlier. I have no beef with the Canucks.
The Canadiens on the other hand…
@jbartus Now that is something I can relate to, except Price, he’s exempt.
@f00l
Technically they are Americans.
America is North America. I guess it could also include S. America.
@PlacidPenguin
Yeah I know. Differing uses.
In terms of nationality I believe they normally think of themselves as not being Americans.
In terms of continental residencies, they are North Americans and think of. themselves that way.
@jbartus The average high in Vancouver in January, the coldest month, is in the 40’s. That’s not “way, way, way cold” even by Florida standards, smartass.
@sammydog01
With “way way cold” was just going with the averages.
My cousin’s kid lives in Victoria. Winters are quite survivable there. Even enjoyable.
@f00l Yep, if you average the Yukon in Canada is definitely cold.
@sammydog01 I am pretty smart and I have an ass so I guess that works.
To be fair you did link what looks to be Vancouver in the middle of a balmy summer sunset.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@jbartus I volunteer to hate the Bruins extra to cover any Canadians who are too polite to do it themselves.
@kasheyev and your team of choice would be?
@jbartus Buffalo
@kasheyev and the Sabres have won how many Stanley Cups?
Is it six? No that’s not it…
Four? No, that seems wrong too…
How about two? One? No…
Oh that’s right… ZERO
Your jealous hatred is delicious.
GO CAPS!
Now this is a sports thread I can follow!
Of course, seeing mention of your wife above, @lichme, reminds me…did’t you guus acquire a youngin’ last year? Yes, my kids tease me about having babies on the brain all the time!
@mikibell Indeed we did! I absolutely love being a daddy.
@lichme
I’m assuming that that’s a girl and that she’s one.
@lichme wow…look at those eyelashes! She is beautiful… Congratulations…
Most days I love being a mommy, every once in a while I question what was I thinking!
@barney there is another beautiful baby here too…not quite a purple tutu…a lovely pink…
@lichme
❤️
@mikibell I love lil’ pink babies, too, and this one is also a cutie.
Go Bruins!
It has warmed my heart to see so many Hockey fans.
I would probably talk more shit but fucking hell are we injury prone.
Where are all the Blues fans???
