Can we talk about the thread on the main boards: Would you score a goal in the NHL.

There are some absolutely hilarious responses in there, that I'm like 60% sure are not satire.

I believe many of the Finnish posters are reminded of the classic thread "What is the biggest animal you could take down with your bare hands?" on a forum in the Finnish side of the internet.

Apparently the key is to go for the eyes.

Still maintain that the "Storm Chips" were the best concession item ever served at MTS Centre. Deep fried tortillas chips dusted with sugar and cinnamon with caramel and frosting...*drool*

They trialled it during the 2015 playoff home games, and the portion size was absolutely comical: think like a regular platter of nachos you'd get at a bar. They scaled it back the next season. Now I see it's off the menu altogether. :(

At the moment it's as if the NZ food scene is doing everything in its power to introduce everything BUT poutine. Cheese and bacon on your fries at maccas? No problem. Sweet chilli and sour cream? Sure. Mince and cheese? Got it. But gravy and actual curds? Nah we're good.

Yeaahhh got my VPN server going!



LOL I'm such a troll. You're not supposed to have any sort of server with Shaw. I really can't complain with that ping, it is 256 bit encryption and the VPN server is off of a consumer grade router.

it's like you're looking at the perfect opportunity to make fistfuls of money over there but aren't interested.
open a poutine stand.

going to Belgium and eating at the fritteurs and having Liege waffles on the street and you wonder why no one in toronto's doing that

Right, I think we're getting there. Poutine, smothered in chili, served between two waffles, drizzled with maple-chipotle crema, topped with bacon and pickled jalapenos.

Go for it, Kiwi! :yo:

Edit: Maybe open faced on one waffle. We should try to be sensible now.

Has anyone played Hyper Light Drifter? Got it last week on PS4, and I'm hooked. It's like a sci-fi version of A Link to the Past.

I was waiting for a price drop on steam for some while now but it didn't happen. Haven't checked lately though.

It does look like a great game for sure and word is, the gameplay is nearly as addictive as DarkSouls.

Dark Souls / A Link to the Past are my jams. Might have to check that one out...

Black Friday arrives early at SportChek!

50% off Jets jerseys (including HC)

https://www.sportchek.ca/content/sportchek/en/categories/fan-shop/nhl/winnipeg-jets.html

Woulda been clutch but they only have Scheifele in small and sold out out XL in both blank and Byfuglien. :cry:

Thanks to you boys I just got myself an away medium. The Sportschek in Polo Park has small, medium and some large I think at least in away, home and HC blanks. Lots of Scheif and Buff jerseys too.

If I had seen a Laine I might have bought that too :laugh:

$80 for a jersey after tax. Thank you, come again.

What's your excuse?
Some interesting Chess today at the World Championship.

Carlsen (my favorite) down 5-4 in the series to Karjakin, looking to strike back in today's game. He seems to have a slight advantage entering the endgame, despite some blunders from both sides. Can he pull it out and tie up the series?

What a game! Carlsen managed to pull it off in a really tight ending. Game 11 Sat. Game 12 Mon. Playoffs if necessary: Tuesday.
