A Few #Rider Related Thoughts on The Occasion of the #BanjoBowl

Bobby Jurasin Documentary (Featuring pre-fame Brett Butt) I was flipping through YouTube and came across a profile of my all-time favourite Rider, #71 Bobby Jurasin (which features a few cameos by a pre-“Corner Gas” Brent Butt starting around the 11:45 mark!)

Friday Fun Link – History of NHL Video Games (1991-2012)

Lots of nostalgia in the video below… NHL 94 is the obvious classic of the bunch but I probably spent more time playing EA NHL 2000 than any other video game in my life. Nothing spectacular about that particular game – just came at a time when I had lots of free time (no kids!), […]
