Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Go Flames Go (April 2004 Stanley Cup Run)

I’m super excited for the Heritage Classic outdoor NHL game (first regular season NHL game in a non-NHL city ever!) on Saturday night at Mosaic Stadium. I’ve always been a Flames fan since I have a lot of family in Calgary but they were my second favourite team, at least until we moved to Calgary […]

Saturday Snap – Hockey’s Back! (And so is beer!)

I’ve been trying to greatly reduce my beer drinking from summer camping levels (essentially down to one per week instead of one per hour!) and I’m also trying to drink only terrible tasting low-carb beer (fuck, I’m old.) But I made a special exception for one last beer I had left from our Calgary trip […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – When My Football Jacket Still Fit (October 2011)

This photo was taken while going through some old clothes at my parent’s house in October 2011 (which happened to be a point in life where a football jacket I bought a two decades earlier sometime around 1991 still fit – something that’s definitely no longer the case!)

Friday Fun Link – Raptors Win NBA Chamionship!

I used to be a pretty big basketball fan in high school but admit I’ve gotten away from the game. But really enjoyed jumping on the bandwagon for the Raptors amazing playoff run that ended last night with them capturing the championship. (Saw an interesting piece of trivia – Leafs won their last Stanley Cup […]

The Best Part of the Blues Winning the Stanley Cup Tonight…

…is that I *finally* won the family hockey pool that a BC cousin has been running through regular season and playoffs for, what, ten years? You’d think that with twenty chances, I might have lucked into a win at least once, especially considering that probably more than half the entries are random picks by septuagenarian […]
