Gooderham 1st MRB

What a terrible PR move.

Hahaha, I'm honestly surprised they wrote a cheque. I figured that given the amount they would have wired it to him. I wonder if they held the cheque to make sure it cleared?

I hope the Seahawks win it all. But... I know that my teams never have success.

Happy Birthday!

That is pretty funny.

well played sir, well played.

Lets do it.

Also, if you drop out half way through I will ban you from participating next year.

Yes, thank you to everyone that participated through the whole season, it was a lot of fun.

I'm looking forward to the offseason but even more so to returning next year to defend my title!

AHH I clicked on the Engle Link without reading the description while I was in a room full of friends :/ I HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF NOW

Same thing happened to me gaddamn it *Sigh*

Lmao I was sitting in the fucking pub with girls...

You were sitting in a pub with a bunch of girls and you were on the 1st MRB forums? Jeezus.

Shwarmas are the best drinking food. Poutine the best cure.

Idk because shawarmas give you garlic breath...

and...

Two questions:

1. What are you doing wearing a suit jacket in Paris while "backpacking?"

2. Why is the Prime Minister there with you?

I think we need to have a fresh voting cycle.

Last day of the fantasy season!

Hahahaha, that was pretty funny. I think Peter Chao is from Vancouver and is likely a Canucks fan.

I think we have done fairly well this offseason. We seriously upgraded our fourth line by providing some talented grit. I hope last season was an anomaly and that the team turns it around this year.

@Cannon: lulz.

Shwarmas are the best drinking food. Poutine the best cure.

Jesus, those guys have a death wish.

Where were you from before?

It's bound to change, but... I'm thinking something like this:

Tavares - Crosby - Neal

Hall - Toews - Stamkos

Giroux - Staal - Staal

Perry - Getzlaf - Nash

Bergeron - Couture

Doughty - Keith

Pietrangelo - Subban/Staal

Hamhuis - Weber

Letang - Seabrook

Luongo

Price

Crawford

Also am working my way through Matterhorn: A Novel of The Vietnam War, but not that excited about it. While the historic accuracy of it all is fairly decent, the writing style itself is choppy and sometimes feels as if it doesn't do the events it is trying to describe justice.

Anyone read any of these before? And SOMEONE ELSE NOW GO; I love books, I want to know who else does!

I've read Matterhorn. I suppose it was ok.

Right now I'm focusing my reading on topical pieces that are related to my field of study.

Good doc. As a hockey fan, it is rare to see violence on that scale between rival club supporters. That said, there are some heated rivalries that have boiled over in the past.

Getting into the MLS recently has introduced me to what supporters groups can be like, but in NA it is much more tame.

Thanks Parker, I updated the autopick before I left. I really don't think there will be an issue, but it is a good precaution. Anyone not able to make the draft should set up their autopick strategy or you may as well not play because the team you may get will be brutal.

I may be cutting it a little close depending on when I get home from my vacation, but I will do everything in my power to be there for the draft.

I'm surprised that there is anyone in Toronto that still wants to acknowledge that they are Leafs fans.

Oh my.

A couple years ago I spent about five days in Bayeux, a small town not far from the landing beaches and one of the first "major" towns liberated during the war. I believe it was declared the capital of Free France until Caen and Paris were liberated and was the site of de Gaulle's headquarters during the Normandy campaign.

Anyways, I visited Juno, Omaha, Pointe du Hoc and the American War Cemetery. I actually walked from Courseilles-sur-Mer to Bernieres-sur-Mer or the "Green" sector of Juno and was astonished at the distance between the two. Many people don't realize that they weren't landing in the huge numbers one might expect but instead only a dozen or so troops for a hundred meter stretch of shoreline. I have some photos I may put up if anyone is interested.
