I am looking forward towards our replay match vs Canucks.

Rooting for Honzo to play well, perhaps chipping in with another point.

Let's go Flames (alarm comes off at 2am).

Probably not, don't know if I could watch it because of all the geoblocking shit.
Get VPN bro. What is your so far assessment of Honzo? Boy looks very promising, I have him penciled higher than Pelletier based on his so far preseason contribution- meaning he could slip into NHL lineup. His interview skills are very underrated, he seems to be very articulated infront of cameras which is important from the marketing perspective. Calgary needs to keep gaining more fans across the globe and we need great communicators. Let's support this Slovakian fella.

I'm watching snooker and I just had a glass of scotch, so I'll need to worry about getting asleep before thinking about getting up early enough for the game.

And I dont have any streaming services now, Viasat's 40€ month was enough to cancel it last season. There's of course the not so legal options, but then I'll have to watch it on my laptop and not the 65" tv

Not much is known about Rick Tocchet’s plans for tonight’s lineup other than Arturs Silovs is expected to get the start in goal and play two periods while Nikita Tolopilo is likely to play the final 20 minutes in his preseason debut.
With the team flying home from Seattle late last night following a lacklustre 3-1 loss to the Kraken, the Canucks did not hold any sort of morning skate before heading over the Rockies for tonight’s contest.

What?! I read that there are almost as many saunas as people in Finland, you have to be in the extreme minority here
There's one shared sauna in the building, I have it on Fridays from 8pm to 9pm. Which is not bad at all.

If I could live at my cabin, it would be sauna everyday for all eternity

Swap Scotch for Viasat then :D I have read somewhere that Finland is one of the happiest countries/nations in the world.. what is the most contributing factor? Guess it's quite cold and often dark, yet it seems you are happy.

I still don't get why Conny extended Rooney. His only slip so far!

Its not about being happy. Ask any Finn, and most likely they say they are not happiest people in the world.

But the society here has been build so that life's pretty good, at least it was. One of the Nordic welfare societys. So Finns are quite satisfied with their life, which in these research papers comes out as happy, but it really should be something like steady life.

Ah interesting take, but you are in the know :) Seems life is good despite some climate challenges! Saunas are very underrated, had one in our cottage when kid- dry sauna!

Cheap veteran presence in the locker room who can play 4th line wing or center or be waived to the AHL if not needed for the Flames.
Is he an NHL veteran though? He has approx 250 NHL games under his belt, a floater and journey man. Think if we wanted a veteran with a locker room presence, we should of picked a better example- just my take ;)

My Grandfather, who was technically Swedish but grew up in a town on the Sweden/Finland lapland border and had a Finnish last name... wasn't a happy man according to my Mom. He was also a drunk and so were two of his three sons. My Mom didn't have a happy childhood thanks to her Father's drinking.
