Chicago Deep Dish Pizza : Pizza in Calgary, Pizza Delivery

A quick search and guess what ? Edmonton has Chicago deep dish pizza

Welcome to Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

 

[Fisticuffer]

Why not. Take the money and get an early start to summer. nothing wrong with that plan.

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

He was the backup for 2 of the wins but sure I guess

Out of interest, how many Stanley Cups have you won as a starter?

 

[jetsforever]

If he gets traded it wouldn't be the first time he was stabbed in the back

 

[MakeTheGoalsLarger]

Oh, a man of culture I see!

Extremely popular here. Lots of people walk around with their cap and the games are sold out. The QMJHL was thinking about expanding in Sorel and I believe they put the brakes on that because the LNAH team got the market covered.

I believe you.
I recall seeing that logo and name a lot whenever I went to Sorel.

This just looks like he's pretending to have sources.

"I have so many good reliable sources but I'm getting mixed information so I can't really comment one way or another but trust me, they are very reliable sources. The best."

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Steve Simmons is f***ing brutal and shouldn't be considered a legitimate source, as he isn't.

Welcome to Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

I love the that place. Especially after drinks on Whyte ave.


But real Chicago Deep dish uses cornmeal for it's crust and is as thick as a sandwich at Subway. Neither of these actually resembles actual chicago deep dish.

(Funny cuz most people really don't love real chicago deep dish, and are pretty disappointed with it).

Welcome to Chicago Deep Dish Pizza

True Chicago deep dish can only be had in Chicago….

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I have no idea why Fleury would want to stay. Even the coach hangs him out to dry.

 

[Esq]

If he wants to be traded, he certainly didn't help his value tonight. ECHL-level goaltending.

This just looks like he's pretending to have sources.

"I have so many good reliable sources but I'm getting mixed information so I can't really comment one way or another but trust me, they are very reliable sources. The best."

We can confidently say 1 source is Phil Kessel's hotdog vendor, which would leave Steve Simmonds' mom to be the other.

2 months is an eternity when you have kids.

5 days away from my kid was agony.

I'd buy that argument, but again we go back to professional sports players are paid millions of dollars and they all knowingly signed contracts and understand the business including there own amount of time they can physically play and make money....

It's not like it would be a permanent move with years left on his contract ... again these players all make millions of dollars and all he would need to do is pack his suitcase and catch a flight , they handle his food , transportation and lodging ... he can always video chat with his family, sure it's a few months but that will fly quick then he can retire.. and still make millions either coaching or broadcast...

True Chicago deep dish can only be had in Chicago….

95% of the Pizza sold in Chicago is thin crust. Deep dish is what out of towners think we eat all the time when it’s more of a dining out thing or when family comes to town.

It's a guaranteed contract.

He already made his millions to play for a non-playoff team while still being close to his family.

The sacrifice you're suggesting he makes gives him no monetary benefit.

I'm sure Toronto and Edmonton have cake-shaped pizza too.

 

[MXD]

Next stop Sorel.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

So Fleury has requested to not not be traded?

 

[GeeoffBrown]

Hawks got Fleury for free, so it's not a big loss if they can't trade him

 

[BayStBullies]

Oh come on Flower. Your kids are grown and school-age already. When I was a kid, I moved four times before middle school and I turned out just fine. Help the Oilers win a Cup this year man.

I don't think he can also play defence.

Thinking he could help the Oilers win a cup would already indicate that he is not fine, judgment-wise.

 

[Hisch13r]

Out of interest, how many Stanley Cups have you won as a starter?

It's also like 1.5 of the Cups. He won 9 of the 16 in 2017

 

[Reality Czech]

Guy has accomplished everything and is sick of moving, I get it.

I understand that, but surely he's not gonna settle down in the Chicago area. Or at least I sure wouldn't.

But he's more than earned the right to choose his own destiny, so he should do whatever makes him happy. Sucks that he got stabbed in the back by Vegas.

He signed a contract, that's the entire point of each parties responsibility and obligations, his contract doesn't have a full no movement clause in it. Sorry no love lost for any of these athletes whom are paid millions.

In the real world when 2 parties sign a contract and one party decides to not honor the stipulations in the contract a lawsuit is filed to enforce the contract or recoup and financial damages encountered... Sorry MAF has no excuse here he knowingly signed the contract and agreed to its terms...

 

[noupf]

I understand a players wishes........but from a management perspective, unless he re-signs before the trade deadline, than he is simply an asset that can be used to better the team for the future. He can and should be traded if the offer is worth it to to hawks organization.
