Muh dudes: where can I park if I'm going to a 1pm game? I don't mind walking a bit. Is there free or cheap parking where my catalytic converter won't get snagged?

You can book in the adjoining garage with the app. Pricy but must be the most secure option. There is a few garages in Greektown and surface lots near Comerica and Ford Field. You should be fine anywhere downtown. Nemo's has a lot and shuttle.
 
There is a new special edition of Planes, Trains and Automobiles that was released on Tuesday. Disc with the film is 4k only and will not play on my PS3 but the second disc with the special features is Blu-ray. It had 75 minutes of extended and alternate scenes plus deleted scenes.
Sounds like someone needs a 4k blu ray player for christmas

So now I have to deny turning off my ad-blocker again and again for every single page I click on? This website's unbearable ads were literally the reason I got an ad-blocker

EDIT: I guess it only took two seconds to use the ad-blocker to block the page asking me to turn off my ad blocker, but still, its terrible. Show some non terrible ads that don't block the page and play audio and pop up over what I'm looking at and I'd happily look at ads

I have to do it every time now. Every page I go to now, I have to "not now" it. Why the f*** does HFBoards have the most aggressive anti-ad blocker software on it on any site I go to?
 
Two for one drinks, hard to beat, eh @OgeeOgelthorpe?

Saw this and it made me think of you.

Finally got around to Ted Lasso, pretty sorry I waited this long on it because it's a great sports comedy.

Not sure if anyone is into the more retro indie gaming, but one came out on game pass called Eastward that is really good so far, post apocalyptic mining community with Zelda-like gameplay.
 
Well Tommy Howard is getting back in net today. First time back in net in over a year. And sadly, for too much of the year, I’ve gotten into Jimmy Howard softball shape.

First step back. I was doing real well earlier in the summer and it’s just been an overall shitshow from august on.

Praying I didn’t bite off more than I can chew with two ultra low level games. The type that I’d ice four in a row without a problem normally.

Two games. 4-1 win, 5-1 loss.

But my god, I forgot how much I loved the rink.
 
Total bust. We never should have used that draft capital on a goalie.

Oh wait, what were we talking about again? Reflex response. :neener:

Yeah buddy. I got like a .800 sv% at best in beer league. Wtf. What a waste.

Still probably better than Ned?
I think it says something about the bad effects this place has had on me that I immediately thought upon giving up the goal in the first game (a truly awful goal to surrender on an unscreened, weak wrister under my blocker arm), I thought about what the reaction would be if a Wings goalie gave up that one.

I will say though... playing in low-level games is actually quite annoying. Everyone is really bad at stickhandling and shooting and general hockey stuff, so you're usually sitting and waiting through half a dozen inadvertent "pump-fakes" until a remotely decent shot comes. And if you surrender a bad goal or worse two, in all likelihood, your team ain't scoring to make up the deficit.
 
Congratulations to ArgentinZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

If that is as exciting as soccer gets, I'll pass. Watched this entire affair today. That is enough soccer for me until 26.

The first 70 minutes was dominated by Argentina so it was a little slow. But after that is was amazing. Different strokes for different folks.
