    Maybe conservative Canadians do. I'm more skeptical about American conservatives. Unless Trump Tweets and Qanon blogs count. In all seriousness Jordan Peterson has routinely stated he's not a conservative and doesn't share their values. I think American conservatives gravitate toward him because he's the smartest person that they can find who sorta seems like them sometimes.

    Listen nerd, books are for Liberals and grandmas. Same with school in general. Keith doesn't need a book, goddammit, he needs a Budweiser. I'm surprised that Keith "Education My Ass" Petruzzeli wasn't a bigger hit around here TBH. @GMRwings1983 and he certainly share a similar worldview.

    Poor Keith. Can't blame him for doing what he did, he was just trying to do what's best for his career. Really put Detroit in a bind though. Stinks. I almost hate to do it but let's check in on our top goalie prospect, I don't even remember his name at the moment... https://chl.ca/article/red-wings-prospect-cossa-named-whl-goaltender-of-the-week 8 games, 1.37 GAA, .948 SV%, 5-2-1 record. Oh...oh dear.

    Tavares is a pretty good player, but he'd make on hell of a cheerleader.

    The Maple Leafs are covered in Canada exactly like all American football games are covered in the U.S. Joe Buck: Let's go down to our sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Erin, what can you tell us about Tom Brady's performance? Erin Andrews: Well Joe, Tom is well known for drinking only distilled water, but did you also know that for the last 14 years he's also been gluten free? Joe Buck: Hahaha, I bet Gisele's happy about that huh Erin? Erin Andrews: Hehe, She is Joe, and she said the effect it's had on his tummy is just an added bonus hehe. Back to you Joe. Joe Buck: Great stuff as always Erin!

    TSN Voters Poll for Play of the Year: Akim Alieu "drags" toxic hockey culture after Bill Peters Interveiw vs. Jason Spezza scores "The Michigan" goal in 7-2 Leafs loss. Seriously the ONLY thing the hockey media loves more than sociopolitical stories is "The Michigan" goal. Dozens of actual children pull off this move every single season and yet whenever it happens TSN replays it 700 times as if they're witnessing literal magic.

    Wait, there was a hockey game yesterday? I'd never have known.

    I hope to one day love anything as much as the hockey media loves "hockey stories" that are actually stories about mental health/trauma/addiction/etc. Yesterday an article about Colin Wilson's drug addiction was shared about 2,000,000 times. Today it's all Blackhawks. Did anything notable happen in any of the 100s of hockey games played throughout the world yesterday? Who know? Who cares?

    I can't get enough of watching KRsmith's favorites bust in Detroit, which he inevitable blames on Detroit's coaching, until they bust elsewhere too. It nourishes my soul.

    I knew he was in the Marines but I just looked it up and he was medically discharged before ever doing a tour of duty because he broke his sternum in a mountain biking accident. Kudos to him for volunteering, but it's not like he's some badass. Edit: That sounded way more cynical than I meant it to. I really like his films. Especially Logan Lucky, that "cauliflower" scene gets me every time.

    I feel the same way when sports commentators/players/coaches use military references like "down in the trenches" or "band of brothers" or "this is a war/dogfight/etc". Hate it. Although I'd be willing to reconsider if Lebron James or Tom Brady's car was periodically targeted by IEDs on the way to the game.

    Meh. I think that s*** is corny. Then again I hate all movies about the military. Nothing worse than watching theater kids pretending to be soldiers. Gross.

    This is easily the dorkiest post I've seen on LGW in a long, loooooong, time. Big Tom Cruise fan are ya?

    True, but that play is basically dead. B*tch move by Stamkos IMO.

    Good point. But isn't Smith our enforcer lol?

    Smith/Hronek Assigned to Grand Rapids

    Hronek needs to get his s*** together, for sure, but I wouldn't mind seeing him paired with Staal or Oesterle. DK-Hronek is a complete garbage defense pair.

    You'd have to assume Smith or Rowney right? If it were me it would be Smith, he sucks and Rowney at least kills penalties. But for some reason the organization seems to like the kid.

    How good does Lucas Raymond have to be alongside Bert and Larkin before we can conclude that Anthony Mantha is a total f*cking loser? Asking for a friend.

    Pius Suter

    I think a little of all that you mentioned. He's probably not good enough to be a 2C, but he's had some quality opportunities that just didn't go in. I think I'd play with the 2nd and 3rd lines a bit, both in terms of composition but also in terms of how they're being used. I'd put Zadina with Ras and Erne (who I think looks really good so far), and Suter with Fabbri and Namestnikov and just try to shelter that line a bit.

    10/24 - It's All Zadina's Fault - Wangs vz Cawks

    Nobody needs to be traded on account of Vrana returning.Just bump Zadina down to the 3rd and Namestnikov down to the 4th lines.
  25. Isn't half your state covered in "Trump 2024" flags? The people that think he's a disgusting pig-man aren't the only ones obsessing over him...clearly. Matter of fact, Republicans across America are still filing lawsuits trying to overturn an election he clearly lost.
