-43.....yeah no thanks! Western Canada is very high on the bucket list (love hiking and the outdoors in general) but the older I get the more I can't stand wind and wet. I don't mind the cold so much, but when you couple wind/rain....nope haha.

Yikes, I guess I should stop complaining about the weather I’m experiencing right now.

It's zero degrees and sunny at 9am here in South Korea, similar to hometown Vancouver, where it's 4 degrees at night, with no below zero day or night forecasts for the next ten days.

Winnipeg was the coldest place i've ever lived, for two winters in '98 & '99. Add the vicious wind chill and noses turn purple or brown in minutes, and take days to stop hurting. -35 c and still air is much easier to bare than -20 and a howling prairie wind.

Just wet snow fell here on Cape Breton. Thank God it wasn't much!!!

The Chignecto Isthmus between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick I found to be particularly bitter because the bodies of water on either side create some fiercely cold winds that aren't matched once you get deep into either of those provinces. Weather in Newfoundland mostly sucks in a wide variety of ways, but I'll take anything we get over that particular season in the Moncton/Amherst area.

The big boys came to play today. Got a bit dicey at the end there, but I'm so looking forward to the rematch on Thursday night. Mark your calendars!

Out of curiosity, have you guys ever seen a similar historical draft for any other sport?

Crosby leading the tournament in scoring at 37. Out there when the game was on the line (goaltending and spacing on D is a big problem for Canada), throws a nice body check at center ice, steals the puck, and ices the game w/the EN. Nice bounce back by him and the rest of the team, sans the last few minutes, which was chaos.

Nothing as in depth as the ATD, IMO.

I used to do an ATD for baseball 10+ years ago, which was similar in style but not nearly as thorough an evaluation as say the peak years of the ATD here.

The football subforum had one a few years back with a lot of people signed up to participate. I know pretty little about football history so I passed. Would happily do a basketball one, though.

Hockey great Hull had CTE, researchers confirm

Bobby Hull, the Hall of Fame forward and two-time NHL MVP who helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup in 1961, had CTE when he died two years ago, researchers at Boston University's CTE Center found.
