The second it is confirmed you will see it everywhere online and social media...coming to HFboards will be secondary to read everyone's thoughts.

Implying HF boards isn't crashed

This.

Also, I don't really peruse social media, especially for sports. For the past several years, 99% of the time I've found out anything sports-related has been from coming to this site.

Man, if I had a nickel for every time Sudbury was mentioned ...

Stompin' Tom would be proud

Just watched Sochi vs Severstal on KHL Prime. First full game I've watched with Michkov.....yeah he's fun to watch. Too bad we have no chance at Demidov...

That's managements fault. They are trying to rebuild on the fly, instead of sucking really bad for 3 years and getting as much high-end top talent as they can. Enough with the mid 80s point finishes, trade everyone, go with youngsters and just suck.

I'm sick of seeing a team like Chicago suck, get a bunch of high-end talent, win a bunch of Cups, then tear it down and suck again and get a bunch of high-end talent while the Flyers continue to mismanage their team. They got an absolute gift with Michkov, don't blow it and surround him with 50 point NHLers and 2nd pairing defensemen being forced to play top pairing minutes.

The fanbase has become apathetic to this team/organization, that's a bad place to be.

Was your wife playing bingo?

It’s funny you ask, yes she was. At Bingo One on Lasalle, usually. They had great deli pickles.

I only saw it in passing through on the way out to Calgary from Hamilton. Met a friend in town for dinner, but everyone has to see Big Nickel!

Well, hopefully you guys then finished off the night with some wings at the Doghouse

There's a picture somewhere at my mother's house of 10-year-old me next to my sister in front of the Big Nickel. We drove to Vancouver one summer and stopped at all of the major tourist traps.

Back then we lived near the Four Corners, so it was a chicken sandwich at Eddie’s

Don't forget about the strippers at Diamonds

I forgot that place existed! Wasn’t that on Long Lake Road near Southridge?



This thread should be renamed the Michkov/Sudbury thread

Nah, Diamonds is downtown, in the same building as The Coulson/The Nightclub. If you watch Shoresey, the club scenes are filmed in there.

It's the only strip club left in Sudbury after Solid Gold shut down.

The Coulson was for after you’d get kicked out of the Wolves’ Den. I heard it has cleaned up and Michkov might even want to drink there.

Remember when this happened?

He's the anti-Cutter Gauthier, which is good for us.

No

Twas this

No

Have to give Jones/Briere credit for doing what they could to keep Michkov’s tour of Voorhees training centre secret.

 

[Danko]

So when Medvedev said that a decision would be made "no later then the end of june", is there any KHL related timeline/event at the end of June such as like end of a certain window, start of camps, etc...?
