Well, that sucks.

You: confusing Mordor and Moria
Me, a scholar: calling Moria Khazad-dûm as I gaze into the Palantir located in Valinor

I've read the Silmarillion twice.

 

[MayonnaiseOreo]

Oops. I meant Mordor.

I just saw your username and was hoping maybe you could DM me.

Back in August it was reported out Ottawa that 5 NHL players would be suspended and some with "significant" names...

No bueno....ominous

I hope not for obvious reasons but I’m pretty sure their careers would be done. It would be a PR nightmare for a team to bring one back after the suspension. God forbid, but if we lose Hart, I think it won’t be a massive blow to the team with the emergence of Ersson and good defensive play.

I have a first edition of the Silmarillion. Was given to me by my college gf. I didn't even realize it was a 1st edition until recently.

Thoughts and prayers… to Danny. It can’t be easy to speak on these matters.

JUST AS A REMINDER: No rumors. per site rules. If something isn't listed and posted from a credible link, avoid it. That is a rule to which we all have to adhere especially based on prior situations.​

​

SITE RULE 8 -- It's not acceptable to post that you heard someone has a drinking/drug/sex/personal problem from a "good" source. Do not post information that can be considered defamatory without a link to a credible media source. Other forums, personal websites, amateur/unvetted blogs, hearsay, and personal testimonials are not considered credible.​

Typical Flyers! Every season something new... it will be fascinating like every year!

I'm planning on tackling that one day. I already know most of the lore but need to read it still

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

I'm glad we have Ersson now & Kolosov in the prospect pool.

Don't forget Bjarnasson and Zavragin.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Hoping for the best, expecting the worst. Life as a Flyer fan. I am glad we have Ersson because the options after that are not good

It sucks and the Flyers are definitely cursed but goaltending is probably our deepest position. Just sayin.

 

[BackWithaVengeance]

Hi flyers fans. Does Ersson run with the net or do they look at a trade?

It's 100% Ersson. Flyers rebuild just started and Ersson is doing very well.

Cap'n recommends you feed your dogs salmon with lentils

He actually has no idea what to feed dogs, but he does say that a little pumpkin flesh mixed in with wet food should help your cats break down urinary blockage. Like the kind of pumpkin gunk in a can that you use for pumpkin pie? That shit.

So do I, bought it new. Also first editions of Unfinished Tales, and Book of Lost Tales vols I and II.

The word coincidence exists for a reason. Eyebrows are obviously raised but people shouldn’t be hasty. It would be messed up if a guy dealing with mental health issues had to be accused of something of this magnitude falsely.

Strickland’s a good source. The phrasing here is also purposely narrow. It only covers league-lead investigations.



Oh dear.

God, I hope he's not one of the 5.

There were 8 in total right?

Rick Westhead has been the key journalist on this story. Robyn Doolittle is one of Canada's best reporters. She broke all the Crackhead Rob Ford stories.

Here's a firewalled link to the Globe & Mail story (for my American friends, Canada's equivalent of NYTimes), which doesn't name names (not authorized to) but the headline is scary enough:

Five former 2018 Canada world junior hockey players told to surrender to face charges of sexual assault

Five former 2018 Canada world junior hockey players told to surrender to face charges of sexual assault

Five members of the 2018 world junior hockey team have been told to surrender to London, Ont., police to face charges of sexual assault, according to two sources.

The pending charges are connected to an alleged group sexual assault of a woman in a hotel room. The incident occurred following a Hockey Canada fundraising gala in June, 2018, where the players were honoured for their win at the world junior championships.

The players, who have not been charged yet, have been given a set period of time to present themselves at London police headquarters, according to two sources with knowledge of the investigation who The Globe is not naming because they have not been authorized to speak on the case.
