Oh he didnt get an assist. I guess he is back to being useless.

No, that just means he has intangibles.

I think the toboggan as a hat must come from being the kind of hat you wore when riding a toboggan.

From etymonline.com:

toboggan (n.)
"long, flat-bottomed sled," 1829, from Canadian French tabagane, from Algonquian (probably Micmac) tobakun "a sled." The verb is recorded from 1846. As American English colloquial for a type of long woolen cap, it is recorded from 1929 (earlier toboggan cap, 1928), presumably because one wore such a cap while tobogganing.

Yo dawg, I heard you like toboggans, so I gave you a toboggan so you can wear a toboggan while you toboggan.

I should write encyclopedia's.

They'd be all about beer, hockey and useless 80's trivia.

 

[gocanes88]

Encyclopedia's what?

 

[Sens1Canes2]

Westgarth is the only plus player tonight. Mind blown.

 

[Wolfpuck]

Did you know that when Cam Ward gives up a goal, and there's no defense around, it still makes a sound?

This thread should be renamed to "Toboggan Road: Carolina vs Edmonton"

In the form of main board threads

I guess that's what happens when you only play 3 mins.

 

[nobuddy]

Cam bails out Gleason.

 

[Wolfpuck]

4 on 4

Lots of open ice for the Oilers

 

[Mr Whipple]

In Columbus, at least as far as I've heard. Could have multiple meanings everywhere

Yeah, most likely. I grew up outside Cleveland and we had a couple of the sleds we called toboggans. Like a 3 person and a 5 person. Don't remember ever hearing the word when I lived in Richmond, but when we moved to NC when people talked about toboggans it took me awhile before I no longer look at them like this:

Don't think I've seen any of those types of sleds down in the South. But they work best with a nice, straight hill. Those things would fly, especially after awhile when the snow gets compacted and turns to ice underneath! About the only thing I miss about the (lack of) snow down here.

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Good lord...when was the last time they replaced Edmonton's jumbotron?

 

[tarheelhockey]

Is an encyclopedia like a Wikipedia?

 

[bleedgreen]

Mine would be.

FWIW I never had one but know they're called toboggans. I guess what's what you get when you're raised by somebody from the mountains of Pennsylvania and a non-native English speaker?

 

[Wolfpuck]

lmao at that camera angle

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Forget their jumbotron, even their music is stuck a decade behind the times. Madonna's "Music?" Really?

Still down by 2

Best third period ever incoming?

I thought that was kinda weird too.

Skinner scores two just to out-do Hall.

 

[bleedgreen]

You guys are still watching the game?!

I'm just here for the toboggans. I turned that **** off and started enjoying my six pack of frambozen. It's my Friday night.
