You wouldnt happen to have a Doukhobor name would you?

No, I am very much of the British Isles with some Norwegian and French sprinkled in.

Most of my dads friends from there were Portuguese.

Cool cool. There were a very small Portuguese population here, even smaller now. I grew up only knowing three of the families. Actually, thinking back probably 5-10 haha

You’re from Castlegar I guess? Yeah, all my dads friends moved out to Vancouver when he did. My dads old house is next to the hardware store. Here is me next to it right during the bubble.

Righteous. Kinnaird or Humphries?

Kinnaird was my middle school for grade 7-8 and it shut down a year after I was there. Woodland park elementary, Humphries was and still is the only high School in town

Huh, my parents or I could be misremembering…probably me but I had to sit thru those stories only a thousand times.

Funny story though, my grandparents went down to Spokane to gamble and my grandpa got so drunk he had to call the border guard to open the border for him. He forgot my grandma in Spokane. Different times.

He was a walking meme before the word had ubiquity. Some great moments are the hand pass call and him dramatically waving off a call and landing on his ass. Was he also the one who Joseph tried to maul?

Haha, I think he fell into him by accident, but pretty sure it was him.

 

[I Hart Conor Garland]

I don’t know nothing about Alberta, my grandma was from Shaunovan SK by way of Lachine PQ. Rolling Hills I believe was a bit of a misnomer but could be wrong.

My parents grew up in Castlegar, my moms claim to fame was she had to fill in for a babysitter one time - unsure when, but the kid was Travis Green.

Latest episode of X'Men '97 (Episode 5) is an absolute masterpiece.

 

[Jyrki]

Ippei, Ohtani's translator, stole $16M from his longtime employer and friend to fund his gambling addictions... now let's head over to our Bet365 analyst desk, who will give us the DraftKings over/under on how much Ippei lost betting on the Dodgers! But before that, a word from Connor McDavid about responsible gambling, sponsored by BetMGM!

 

[Jay26]

Help me out guys! I can't seem to think of a word no matter how hard I try and it's killing me. What's the word for when you forecast a bigger number based on a smaller number, like when you proportion a number out over a greater period of time or something. Hopefully that makes sense...

Ah Mr. Magoo. I remember a call where he was emphatically waving off a goal and the colour guy (Neale??) remarks, "Easy Mick, you're about to take off!"

This will happen in the NHL, soon. The lessons of the past have been forgotten.

I can't help but think it's going to be drastically worse for future pro athletes that grow up with sports betting being shoved down their throats from a young age. Sadly it's already become normalized.

Not only that, but there's the absolutely awful hypocrisy of the owners themselves giving gambling companies as much room as they'd like to advertise in just about every facet of sports. So players face lifetime bans if they gamble at all, but owners make plenty of cash from all the gambling. Even when a player attempts to influence lines, their sponsors don't give up their cut or return bets from spoiled lines.
