Well say goodbye to the 8pm start. 8:30 is best case now.

That’s not true. We started Game 1 on time.

Gives me more time to get my test done, but I'm unwilling to go beyond 9. I need to be in charge.

 

[orangecrush8]

That’s not true. We started Game 1 on time.

Carolina/Boston is at 4pm before us and that won’t start on time because of the OT in Tampa/CBJ

 

[Appleyard]

In that case.. you can have sex as Z, be citizen of the world and wear jeans, globalization is like that... wiping out who you are, roots traditions etc.. No need to put in grave either or even have funerals I mean what for another shitty tradition.

But it is part of their "tradition" to be more relaxed haha.

It has been a very secular place for a long time really.

Their traditions have evolved from Lutheran Christian traditions. From what I know from my time there: Close family wear white ties. Almost no-one apart from people close attend the funeral in a lot of cases. The body is not buried until a eight days to a few weeks after death depending on where in Scandinavia.

Just because it is not your tradition does not mean it is not tradition to a degree.

And everything evolves over time... it annoys me I am not going to be buried with my horse and servants! Damn erosion of tradition.

 

[Coffe]

I think you could in Scandinavia. Depends on the specific funeral but I guess would not be crazy.

Woah, hold your horses here buddy.

At least in Sweden jeans on a funeral is frowned upon. Can't imagine the others would think differently.

That happened before Game 1 as well. I think the game before us started at 4:30 or so.

(And with a quick OT they will start on time)

Haha. Have been past a few in Copenhagen (used to run through a graveyard quite a lot and was a church on my street) where some people wore jeans. Stood out to me because had never seen it!

 

[Appleyard]

At my funeral I am going to make everyone wear board-shorts and vests tbh...

and hope I die in winter.

I mean.. I understand it is all about money and being very relaxed? I get that.. The rest is kind of unimportant. Religion, family values, manners etc etc wearing something simple like a suit. Before you know.. society has majority baby mamas with 5 kids, from 5 different man in jeans(best case scenario), no religion, no education, family values and yes no suit in a closet.

Global warming pal.. Think of alternative.

We will start on time.

*Assuming no OT next game.

I would have preferred to play the Jackets, but I’m going to waste negative 5 seconds feeling sorry for them. Eat it, ya choked this one away.

Well of course it's the Danes that's tarnishing the reputation of the entire region...

Tie would be optional though. But if you do wear one then it's black or white depending on your relation with the deceased. As tradition demands.

 

[tictactoe]

Jackets should add one scorer in off season and they will be ok. 20-25 goal scorer will do. Nothing major.

 

[tictactoe]

I miss good hockey commercials... this Pastranak bs is so annoying. Followed by some Geico lizard that wants you to buy something.

Scandinavia is less money and class obsessed than anywhere else I have ever been to be honest.

Jantes law as a foundation is pretty nice in my eyes.

It used to be tradition to have arranged marriages in christianity at 13 or 14. No one is crying that tradition was erased! It was in place until 200 years ago in a lot of places.

You are ruining one hell of a rant being rational. Knock it off won't you.

 

[flyersnorth]

Haha. I think Euros in general just love smart-casual. We also dont understand why North Americans in general wear such oversized suits. Only people in Europe who do are really old Italians and Greeks. Like where the pant legs scrape the floor etc. Urgh.

Blazer optional.
No tie.
Shirt.
Jeans/fitted dress pants.
Dress shoes.

Is pretty much most of the younger people at conferences, interviews business meetings etc.

Only place you cant get away with it is in "the City" in London. But f*** those guys.

I am a big blazer guy tbh. Have like 8 or so. But only 3 pairs of dress pants and one pair I can rarely get away with as they are beige with green and black crosshatching all over haha.

For Scandos jeans are a way of life as well. Weddings? Jeans and a shirt is fine. Business meeting? Jeans. On the boat? Jeans.

I used to wear a suit and tie everyday for a decade.

I didn't want to, but because of daily briefings with CEOs, officials, and politicians, that was what was expected.

I grew to love it. Had an unhealthy collection of shoes lol.

Over the past few years I've been working more and more remotely, only going in when I have to support Ministers in the legislative assembly or briefings, so naturally I started dressing down more and more.

Now when I suit up, I feel ridiculous lol. Much prefer chinos/jeans/dress pants with a shirt, nice shoes, and blazer. Love blazers. They really add zip.

When I see people all suited up when it's 30 degrees outside, I'm like, dude, wtf?

Yep. Plus the internal pockets in blazers are really useful haha.

And in that attire very easy to go from business meeting, to park/river front, to restaurant, to bar and club and not be out of place/inappropriately dressed in any haha.

 

[Curufinwe]

My yeehaw American in-laws wore jeans and t-shirts to their mother’s funeral two years ago. I arrived in a black suit with a black tie, and quickly ditched the jacket and tie in my car so I wasn’t totally overdressed. It was September so it was fairly warm, but I didn’t expect it to be so casual.

Bruins game started at a reasonable time. Should be in good shape if no OT

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

Hahahahaha what a loser b***h. Stop crying your heart out, John F***ing loser.

 

[Striiker]

Hahahahaha what a loser b***h. Stop crying your heart out, John F***ing loser.

You're not even a dentist. Knock it off.
