No of course not, there is an entire generation of Rangers fans that will simultaneously yell "POTVIN SUCKS" in your face while they wonder what Felix Potvin did to the Rangers

That chant is so (frank)ing dumb. It's been 40 years

Oh. My bad.

Did you escape yet?

Nah I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. First baby due in April so that's about the only major life change on the horizon for me anytime in the near future

Congrats and sorry about being stuck here. I dream about leaving every day. At least our house will be paid off soon and give us a reason to really think about it.

I am biased because I've lived in Suffolk my whole life, but I loathe Nassau County for the most part

do you have a 30ft "don't tread on me" flag on your front lawn?

If I have to hear that for another 50 years, just kill me now. Please.

Does Halak normally get starts on non back to back games?

Seems to be about the least cost effective way to be a drunk moron though but I guess these aren't exactly sound thinkers.

Can't say as I've been to games in the other (somewhat cheaper) markets, but Toronto is incredibly similar to MSG from all reports. So expensive that the lower bowl is mostly corporate and no one paying attention. Some percentage of fans just going for the fun experience. But, most Canadian hockey fans are some level of religious. Winnipeg sells something like 85% of their seats as season's tickets.

Let me know when and where. We can do it together. Kinda like drinking champagne with intertwined arms but with guns.

Yeah, don't make the mistake I did and have a second one 7 years later.

I have a 7 month old and the idea of having a 2nd, especially in this economy, is crazy to me

Saw a Bruins-Leafs game from the upper level before the pandemic. Was very fun. People could tell we were American though.

Not really. I'd guess it's a combination of him having won 7 of 8 and Shesty being merely mortal of late. Along with the back to back on Sun/Mon., with Sunday's game on the road.

Your 2 year old is 25 pounds? Our son was 26 pounds at his 12 month. He's kinda big I guess.

Now we know where to find you.

Thanks....if I didn't have a good group of friends it'd be much easier to leave. Maybe eventually one day, but for now it ain't happening.

maybe more like 27 pounds? he's very short though. stocky like marty st louis. 20% for height and 75% for weight. he's also 20 month's, so not quite 2

Works both ways.
I was at a 'Canes-Sens game in Greensboro back when Hartford was new in Carolina. People could tell we were Canadian. We ended up explaining what was happening to every one around us after every whistle.
