I can barely watch games on ESPN+ with that blackout commercial. LIVE SPORTS! Have to rush to mute the games every commercial break lol
Between that and “Let me hydrate you with my cream!” Michael Cera ceraVe commercials, it’s been pretty brutal.

There’s like 3 or 4 versions of the Michael Cera commercials and they play one of them every commercial break on ESPN+.

That’s one change from center ice to ESPN+. You don’t get the local commercials from the feed you’re watching.

I haven’t gotten to see those commercials with Devils tattoo artist or Hobby’s with the Nico and all the players sandwiches anymore.
 
But even 1994....if you're 35, 36 years old you don't know what the hell happened when you were 5 or 6.
I can remember 5 or 6, but nothing really sports related, other than actually going to a few live sporting events.

Like I always say every time the picture is posted, I remember riding on the turnpike and probably route 3 sometimes and seeing the steel frame of the Meadowlands Arena and all the cranes as it was being erected. Had to be prior to 1981 when it opened, so I wasn’t even 5. I even went to the racetrack probably even before that.

But I really don’t remember things like the Stanley Cup Finals from those years, if I was even watching them to begin with.

I remember things from nursery school vividly. Like when this girl Tracey bit me in the middle of my chest because I wouldn't play house with her.
 
I’m 33 and barely remember 97-98 when I first started watching. I do remember 99-03 but obviously I didn’t appreciate it as much as I would now.
Same with me. (40) That’s why I wanted with every fiber of my being for the 2012 team to win the Cup. My all-time favorite team. Just didn’t know after the three Cups how hard it is. No appreciation…
 
Ugh. I trust that was something that passed and you are not still at risk of that?
Yeah it's in the past...12 pills a day, EEG's and blood work every month from about 1976 to 1983....So it was basically half my life at that point.

I remember when I was told that I didn't have to take medication anymore. They weened me down for a couple of years after I had my last seizure...12 to 9 to 6 to 3 to 1 then done. Really was the greatest day ever.

The seizures weren't that big of deal, it was more disruptive than problematic. I had "petit mal". The majority of the time no one could even tell it was happening, my mother could though. It was a paralyzing 10 to 30 seconds. Some people told me my nose would twitch and I would just freeze and stare into space. It was kind of like being in plexiglass box where you couldn't do anything but were completely aware of everything happening around you, conversation, smells, noises everything but you couldn't move, speak or react... Made school impossible and had to be tutored at home for a couple of years until the seizures were under control.

One problem though is if I happen to need to take a piss and was holding it and had seizure...No good. No control of anything. :laugh:

ugh. I'm glad you were able to get past it. Our middle son had Benign Rolandic Epilepsy when he was young but thankfully it never manifested outside of his sleep cycle. It passed and I'm sure he wouldn't even recall it but it was scary at the time as a parent.
 
So you're telling me the Lightning aren't a juggernaut anymore and teams actually beat them?

Makes our performance against them look even more pathetic.

If we hadn't buried ourselves, we could have had their spot.
