They've got a good, young core.

They're also big Rush fans.

Too depressing. Pearl Jam. Alice In Chains. Nirvana. Listen to that too long and I would want to kill myself.

The Eagles and The Smiths. Both are living legends destined to go down as some of the best musicians ever. Put them together, The Smith Eagles - or maybe the EagleSmiths - and the world would instantly explode from eargasmic pleasure.

That's one way to look at it. There's other ways to look at it, if it's overturned. That's also if you think such issues mean anything.

Yes, the NHL should allow him to wear 99! In fact, I'm surprised the Great One himself hasn't personally visited the Flyers locker room to BEG Raffl to wear it. You know, to continue the legacy and all

Yup, he needs to officially change his name to Wayne McRaffl. The Once and Future Great One.

Anybody gonna be at the Voorhees Skatezone this weekend for the annual Checking for Charity tournament?

DannyB and Johnny Gaudreau are playing in the A division, which at worst to the eyes looks like a game being played by the worst teams in the ECHL (nothing but current/former pros & D1 college guys).

No but listening to Vedder blather on about his political views could push someone to suicide.

Max Domi talks about how Bobby Clarke helped his career.

http://www.calgarysun.com...bout-living-with-diabetes

Domi credits the diligence of his family, the support of his peers, and the impact NHL legend and Hockey Hall of Famer Bobby Clarke had on him when he met him during a junior hockey tournament a few years back.

"I can't begin to tell you the effect that meeting had had on me, especially when I found out that he, too, is a Type 1 diabetic...if I can give back just a fraction of what Bobby Clarke has given to me, I still wouldn't be able to achieve his impact."

So great was Clarke's influence that Domi wears the No. 16 - Clarke's number - in his honour.

There were those who predicted these two hockey players could not cope with diabetes and play professionally - but the two pros have definitely proven the naysayers wrong: Clarke stands on his own merit with an illustrious career that has set standards in the hockey world. And, although young, Domi has garnered an impressive amount of accolades in his own right: Before entering the NHL, Max played in the OHL with the London Knights and was a member of Team Canada at the 2015 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where the team won gold. Max was named the tournament’s best forward.

He handled well. It was a shock. For about 3 second of my life, I was gay.
